The estrogen path

[Brdy64]

Family called me Jolene for awhile due to an event in my early teens. Then Yoyo after that. Friends just called me Birdman. 
I'm still called uncle Yoyo.

A little trepidous on doing anything with HRT. but this path is starting to feel like what happens when you close one chapter and start a new one. 
I feel weird now. 

Today its all women's clothing.  Doesn't really look it, but I feel it, and I feel comfortable but like I am standing out. 

Talked with a coworker and she said that I AM popping out now and there is no way to hide it, so just run with it.

I understand completely.
I'm right there with you. 🙄

"The girls are doing a hostile take over of the body", as someone here in the forum so eloquently stated. 

That hormonal stew really boils down to a strong estrogen dominance as your testosterone levels drop off. 🤔

In case y'all haven't noticed 'I am' in the process of closing one chapter of my life and opening a new one.
Don't need HRT, my body is changing all by itself. 🙄
Of course it has been most of the way there for decades. 😉

Sophie, scoot over. Make some room on that end of the table. 🙄

Had a lady one time ask me when she found out what size I was, how did I deal with D+, she was a C, I replied the same way a woman does. Get good supportive bras and find clothes that fit!

For me it was underwire!
I have concluded that anything over a C cup should have an underwire for proper support. 
And buttoning up a men's shirt is impossible, if it fits the chest the arms are too long. 
Blouses are designed for people with boobs. 😉

Hmm,

CNA informed me this morning that it's against company dress code to wear anything other than apparel matching your assigned 'birth' gender while attending the day center.
My blouses and shorts have been very neutral, and thereby have flown under the radar. I won't be allowed to push it much further.
There is someone else that attends that also has been notified. They had to purchase a complete wardrobe in order to attend. This is Texas, and it is what it is.

I guess I'll be using what I already have while attending, and what I feel like outside of the center. 🤔

Really a bummer 😐

is it written policy or opinion? 

I would ask for a copy myself. 



Plus even though its Texas, there are now codified federal anti-discrimination laws. 

tread carefully obviously.

I am going to talk to the management as soon as I arrive. 
I am on the bus at the moment.

Yes, I just need to hear it from management.

In Texas, if they can see your bra is it called "open carry"?

Okay, the manager basically stated that it's an unwritten rule here that amends the dress code I signed when I signed up.

They have looked the other way on my Bra use, because the alternative would be less acceptable.

My bathroom use has already been shifted to the all-gender restroom. That was done when I started using a bra too avoid conflict in case I didn't notice.

'Conservative dress' as stated in the dress code I signed is pants, shorts, and shirts use by 'males' for 'males' under their opinion.
So far what I have been wearing has been conservative enough, and has not caught much attention.

This is a private company and they reserve to right to refuse service to anyone. I can keep going as I have been or withdrawal from the program.
My choice. 😐

[Brdy64]

I'm in the all-gender restroom, and I have been wearing women's apparel, so I guess I'm okay with it. 
They are meeting me half way. 😐
