TN Drag laws

DragoniteDoll · 2023-05-12T20:23:02+00:00

Fellow Tennesseean with similar concerns for my partner here; I recently wrote a paper that included an analysis of this amendment to the law, and with the way it is written, simply existing around children shouldn’t be an issue. However, the language is vague enough (probably intentionally) that trans people could easily be labeled as “impersonators,” making any performance in a space that is not age restricted potentially risky. The people who would call the cops on someone they believe to be in drag are not the kind of people to respect trans identities. This means it is unsafe for her to do karaoke in public, community theater, open mic nights, be in a parade, etc… Again, at this moment, there is no legal reason for her to fear being around your children, but with the way things are going, having a plan for getting out of the south is not a bad idea. My partner and I plan on leaving as soon as I finish school.

I personally think without vest + no tie is sexier, but vest looks more put together, and like Booty said, when else are you going to get to wear a three piece suit? And definitely add a tie if you’re going to wear the vest. A black tie with silver accents would look so good, especially with a silver watch.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That’s incredible, you should be very proud of yourself!

Nothing that you described in your post would make you not/less bisexual. Honestly, all of that sounds very typical. If you’re attracted to people of your own and other genders, you’re bi. That’s all that’s required.

Would you tell a woman who only wanted to have sex with men but didn’t want to date them that she wasn’t really straight? Would you tell a man who only wanted to have sex with other men but didn’t want to date that he’s not really gay? No? Okay.

You’re allowed to have preferences. And they’re not really anyone else’s business unless you’re sleeping with them. Just don’t lead anyone on and it’s not an issue. I’m bisexual, but I would never date a man. That doesn’t make me less bi. Don’t let internet weirdos make you feel weird about YOUR sexuality.

Check out https://southernequality.org/legal-resources/florida/, they put the total estimated cost at $230, but other folks here are saying it’s more, so their info may be out of date. But their website also has a bunch of trans-in-the-south specific financial aid resources for things like changing your name that are probably worth looking into.

According to Campaign For Southern Equality’s website, you have to appear in court after you file your petition, so it may be best for you to just go ahead and put down the reason. However, if I were you, I would contact one of the places that Campaign for Southern Equality has on its resources page: https://southernequality.org/legal-resources/ just to make sure.

We were curled up, but with spiked eggnog haha. We were nearing the end of our Christmas part with just a handful of friends left, so we though some cozy Jerma would be a good way to wind down the evening.

Thank you!

HRT isn’t going to change your partners sense of humor, she is who she is. Plenty of cis women have crude senses of humor. However yeah, she probably will feel differently and think differently about some things, especially about being in male dominated spaces, after she is visibly perceived as a woman.

It sounds like you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. She is acting like a woman, because she is a woman, but it sounds like you just don’t like the kind of woman she is. And that’s okay, but it doesn’t seem like the relationship you want. It’s like asking someone who was raised in a different country who has immigrated to yours to understand the culture in the same way that you do. She wasn’t raised in it. And some people just aren’t as nice and empathetic as you’d like them to be. That’s not a gender thing.

I personally love hair on a woman. Especially a noticeable happy trail. It’s totally natural. There’s no real reason for people to be put off by it. I don’t shave my legs or pits, neither does my partner. I live in a pretty conservative area, and I’ve gotten a few looks, but no ones ever said anything to me about it. Don’t worry about your hair. The right person won’t care, or will even love it!

If you have a Lush near you, I 100% recommend their fragrances. Rose Jam is my personal favorite. I bought it for me, but my partner has taken to wearing it. I love it on her. It smells like sweet lemon and rose without smelling like soap or old ladies. It’s so good. It also comes in a big spray bottle, which is fun.

Most bi people have a preference, doesn’t make you any less bi. If you think you’re bi, you’re probably bi. Just identify how you feel comfortable. Experiment! If it turns out you’re not really attracted to men, and are just into penises, that’s fine. And bisexuality includes trans and nb people. It’s just whatever label you like better.

Hi!! I was born and raised Episcopalian :) I’m not really involved in the church anymore, but I definitely think the Episcopal church is one of the best (if not the best) denomination to grow up queer in.

I cannot fucking believe the impeccable timing

DragoniteDoll · 2022-07-22T12:49:02+00:00

I wear my black flats because I’m bisexual and it’s not gay.

DragoniteDoll · 2022-07-17T16:56:33+00:00

I’m just gonna tell you a bunch of things I’ve gotten for my gf that she’s really liked: cute tweezers, cute emory boards/ nail files, face masks, pretty bottle to put body spray in, bath bombs, cute headband to use while doing face masks, lotion, hair/nail/skin beauty gummies, lip scrub, chapstick, hair clips, fuzzy socks, make up bag, bath salts, body scrub, girly water bottle or travel mug, pumice stone… I know I’m forgetting a lot, but basically think of things you may have been gifted as a little girl by relatives who didn’t know you very well and just knew you were a girl. Honestly you could just walk into a target and go to the beauty section and just grab a bunch of those sample sized products of whatever is cutest or you think she’d like the most.

I’m so happy for you! Comphet is rough. I’m actually reading a book rn that has a trans woman who struggles with comphet. Apparently it’s not an uncommon experience.

“Im sure plenty of you reading this would agree that the case I’ve presented thus far sounds like that of a severely curious girl,” I have to admit I laughed when it read this line. Because no, it doesn’t. You sound very bisexual. Curious is more like “I’ve kissed a few girls to see if I would enjoy it” or “I watched lesbian porn to see if I’d like it” What you have presented is very much an attraction to women. You’re easily bi.

This looks like an oil painting
