Selfies from yesterday, zebra print dress, and today in the coral bandage dress - and back in our favourite café!

We've been getting out for a long walk before coffee for the last couple of weeks - a change in the sequence of things, but it's suiting us better.

After this, we're off for Natasha to get her brows done and we'll do a little shopping then too...

Coffee and cake now though! 😋

Enjoy your own days, folks! 😊

Just the one selfie today - taken as we were leaving the house to go for coffee, which is where we are now! 😊

I see so much talk of the 'passing' thing associated with trans women.
I have no idea if I do or don't and I do not care (nor am I asking; I'm not interested).
I do not want to be part of something that is entirely driven by complying with some patriarchal/societal concept of how a woman should be.

I'm me.
I'm Isabel.
And that is what defines me.

It may well seem I have an awful lot of dresses (I do! 🤦‍♀️) But there are very few I have paid full price for - had that been the case, there would be many fewer! Anyway, this arrived from France this morning, bought via Vinted. It's a new H&M dress and in perfect condition. And cost under €20 including shipping... It's *very* fitted, a size 14 (US 10), but a small 14! Can't wear much under it! 🤣 Ok, coffee is calling - enjoy your days, folks 😊 CW for eye contact (through sunglasses)

Selfie Saturday! 😉 It's been sunny the last couple of days - we could get used to this! 😎 Yesterday in the white denim dress, including with @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt looking fab in our new pink dress, both taken sitting outside at 'our' café! Then me today in the linen dress. It's very busy at the café - and no seats outside... Ok, I take that back - we have a table outside! 😁🎉 Coffee and cake demand attention, so be off with you! 😉 Have a great day, whatever you're up to! 😊 CW for eye contact

A new dress! 🤦‍♀️ So, obviously, a selfie...🤷‍♀️ This is what happens when my favourite dress shop threatens me with a sale... What's a woman to do? Resistance is futile! 🤣 Anyway, we're sitting outside in a gentle breeze before it gets too hot... The brown bread ice cream is actually from yesterday and was divine - I had a shot of espresso poured over mine, which just made it even better! Enjoy your days, folks, as best ye can! 😊 CW for eye contact

I wasn't going to post a selfie today, but being the selfie slut that I am, could I resist? No, of course I couldn't...🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️💛 So here you go, me, about to head out for coffee (which is where we are now). That's it - enjoy your days, folks, as best ye can! 😊 CW for eye contact

So some unknown guy sending a DM to Natasha and I asking to "have a private conversation..." The same message they've sent to many others. Yeah, like that's not super creepy... Blocked, of course.

Coffee time again! Slightly cooler and cloudier today, but still warm enough to sit outside in a dress like this. You've seen this one before - especially as we both wear it! It is great that, by and large, we can wear the same dresses. Otherwise, we'd need a *massive* wardrobe! Coffee now, with a change of snack - a mushroom parcel (the parcel being flaky pastry). Sounds good...😋 Coffee here is always a choice - Guatemalan today for me... Enjoy your days, folks! 😊 CW for eye contact

@CharlotteEowyn@chaosfem.tw Reading through this thread, the thing that leaps out, as it so often does, is *USE UNITS*! If you don't no one knows exactly what you mean, but they will assume... Also 'sweet spot'? No such thing, other than as individuals. There are guidelines, but that is all they are. But, yes, low levels can definitely mess with emotions. One advantage of injections is stability (less true with valerate at >5 day intervals). Also, they, like transdermal, bypass the liver.
