Just, I can’t understand how this facility isn’t teetering on the line of honest discrimination/abuse. If they continue to be this way have you thought of filing a complaint with actual authorities?

I'll have to see where the meeting with the doctor this morning goes. He won't make his second decision until he has a word with me.

I can just imagine where the conversation will lead considering that I called them out on their own ruling, that pantyhose are not medical devices. Their supplier that provides the compression socks also have medical grade compression pantyhose.

They are still quite adamant in the fact that I must be recognized as male regardless of being intersex. I started the program in boy mode and must continue this program in boy mode. Anything else is against company policy and their religious compass.

Strange enough at the dentist's office yesterday, wearing my hair in a ponytail, baseball cap, t-shirt, and jeans, a lady in the waiting room sparked up a conversation with me referring to me as she/her. Even dressed androgynous I don't pass in boy mode.

They finally approved my compression pantyhose after finding out their supplier carries medical unisex varieties.

It's just crazy to me it had to go that far.

  Glad you got that settled and in your favor.

“The Lavender Afternoon”

Friday mornings had a certain magic to them—the kind of quiet promise that whispered of soft fabrics, spontaneous laughter, and maybe, just maybe, a new favorite outfit. That morning, I took my time, savoring the ritual. My makeup was flawless, each brushstroke a small act of self-love. My outfit? Cute and confident. My hair framed my face just the way I liked it, like a finishing touch on a well-composed painting.

As I waited for the bus, the cool breeze danced playfully around me. I clutched my tote with the kind of anticipation only a weekend shopping trip could bring. When I finally arrived at the mall, the food court greeted me with its familiar, comforting aroma. I treated myself to a quick bite, my heart already tugging me toward my favorite stop—Torrid.

Walking into the store felt like stepping into a second home. The soft lighting, the curated colors, and most importantly, the warm smiles of the salesgirls—who recognized me right away—wrapped around me like a hug. “Hey, girl! Back again?” one of them chimed with a playful grin.

I beamed. “Wouldn’t miss it.”

I wandered through the racks, fingers skimming over fabrics, hunting for treasures under $50. There was something soothing about the search—each hanger a possibility, each price tag a tiny thrill. Then came the mention—“Our bras are on sale today.” My eyes lit up. Like a siren’s call, the $25 rack pulled me in, and there, nestled like a hidden gem, was the bra. Lavender. Lace. Push-up. It was elegant, soft to the touch, and undeniably me. Into the pile it went.

Next, the clearance slacks called to me. I sifted through bold florals and practical blacks until a pair of beige slacks caught my eye—simple, but with just enough style to feel special. As I held them up to the mirror, I could already picture a hundred ways to wear them.

Time drifted by in laughter and conversations with the girls, who were full of stories and compliments. Two and a half hours later, I walked out of Torrid with my finds and a sense of lightness. Not just from the shopping bags on my arm—but from the joy of a day spent feeling good, being seen, and treating myself with kindness.

As I boarded the bus home, the sun dipped low, casting a golden hue over the seats. I leaned back with a content sigh, the lavender bra tucked safely away—a small reminder that some days, happiness really is just a sale away.

Sounds like you had a great day.  Being around people that see you for who you are. Not asking for changes on your part.  You being you,  very nice.

:-XBit of humour.....

A nun goes to the doctor with a severe case of hiccups. The doctor went to scare away the hiccups jokingly tells her she's pregnant. She gets up and runs out of the office hysterical, the hiccups are gone. Later the Mother Superior calls the doctor and asked what he told her to make the hiccups go away. The doctor said he told her she was pregnant. Well, we've got a problem because the baby's father Paul just jumped off the Bell Tower.

Long live funny stuff!

This dude has been popping up a bit on my feed lately. Thought I'd share. Enjoy!

On the way in to work today I had some extra time for once and ran in to Walmart to grab a few things for the shower and cleaning supplies for the house. It’s been awhile since I bought a bra in person due to just enjoying the brand I now am a fan of and Amazon. But while there decided to swing by and park my cart in the main aisle. The area was a dead zone. 
I noticed they did a reset since I had lost bought a bra and was looking for my brand of preference. And an associate if I had to guess in late 40s came in to the area I was in to put up items for morning stocking I guess. And she just did her thing and went back around the corner. And came back with more stuff. 
She asked if I needed any help and without thinking I just let it slip “do you still sell the brand Warner” she gave a little flinch to the specific name and simply said of course we moved them over here and took me to the other aisle behind us. She pointed toward the mid way down and said let me know if you need help finding anything else. And went on her way. 
I personally felt a bit embarrassed as I’m ok with wearing a bra but always kept it discreet. But it was nice to feel like I wasn’t judged one bit and whether in her head or when away from me thought/said omg, I didn’t feel that energy from her. 
It was great. Only thing that would have made it a better purchase would have been if she came back when I grabbed the 2 I went with and asked I needed a fitting room lol

  That's great.  She probably assumed you were buying for someone else.  I think its more common than we think to have men circle those racks.  I doubt she even took a second look to see if you were wearing.  Good for you to keep your composure and act like you belong there also.

[Dudewithboobs]

Agreed. I’ve seen men in the aisles before. I don’t believe women think men are buying for their partner but perhaps. I do not appear feminine whatsoever and am built, look, stand, walk, talk etc very masculine so I’m sure it doesn’t come across as for me but if walking behind me when bent over browsing I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to see for their own assurance lol
