Let's see. I've been here so long, it's hard to thin of any secrets not already known, but I'll try.
I am certified for both sky and SCUBA diving. I once won the AAUW creative writing award for a poem that I plagarized directly from The Lord of the Rings. I've felt guilty ever since. I was interviewed on Philly After Midnight, an episode watched by at least five people. As of today, I am an officially transitioning transsexual. I answer to Pamela. I would write more but I am going to allow everyone to recover their composure first. :) |

It's the Hellko Kitty boxers isn't it. ;) I grew my beard in my first year of college, 8 months before I met Monster, and have never ever been clean shaven since. I used to SCUBA when I was at school, but never kept it up on going to college, I have still have all my gear in the basement :rolleyes: |

A fair number of SCUBA divers here.
I did my open water dive in Long Island Sound to get SCUBA certified after taking a course in college. Only marine life I saw was a flounder. Lots of bottles and a couple tires too. Then I did a dive in St. Thomas with my dad. It was fun, but overall, I prefer snorkeling. Less to think and worry about. And the dry tank air gave me nose bleeds both times I dove. |
Thank you. I chose the name because I liked it and it was not a feminization of my birth name. I was torn between Pam and Tia and chose Pam because it was less exotic and I liked it better.
Now, you know THREE transsexuals! There is no in-culture reference. :) Quote:

BrianR/Pamela, you win the thread!
|
Pardon my ignorance, but didn't you just get married a couple years ago?
|
Hey, congrats Pamela.
I talk to a transitioning transexual in my supermarket. I think she thought I was trustworthy because I had pink hair :) She changed her uniform from trousers to skirts just last year, and is far happier to have it out in the open. Not meant in a rude way! She really makes an effort with her image - for a supermarket employee she's quite glamourous. I feel quite shabby next to her. Then again, I am! I usually shop without makeup and in my ubiquitous jogging bottoms. |

I have pics somewhere and trophies too. I was also Miss Nude Illinois.
Great April Fool's BrianR will be very embarrassed if its not a joke |
I recently found out a woman I dated a few years back (when split from Mrs L) is now an escort and porn chick (not really a star).
|
But it's not April 1st in America yet. Or is that another "holiday" you guys stretch for a week?
|
Maybe Brian R posted in the DNSFW thread. Then I stand corrected and I have to say way to go Pamela! :)

I have to say, Nirvana's post did make me slap my forehead. It's hard to say though--Brian's been a transgender advocate in the past. I'm torn. No offense either way, Brian. :) |
I do wonder why we hate to be fooled? If it is in a harmless way maybe we should relax enjoy a giggle? It's such a knee jerk reaction to put up one's guard.

knee jerk reactions save lives.

Bramela, May I ask Questions? Good.
Where does your wife fit in to this? Are you still driving trucks? Are you planning surgery or just wishing to live as a woman? What was your role in the pron movies you made, or did I remember that incorrectly? You have beautiful long hair, do you feel the decision to have long hair was a precursor to this or unrelated? Why today? Officialy? What color eyeshadow do you prefer, or do you not wear make-up? |
BrianR. What are your parents thoughts on your transgenderedness? How did it effect them or do you care?

Thanks, and best wishes to you. I applaud the purple! :)
|
You really like it?
|
I love purple. I hate pink. But the few m>f transexuals I know have blue/green eyeshadow fixations and it's truly not a good color to be applied so lavishly. Their tastes match the twenty-nothing college sluts half their age. They all make anime look human, but it's an especially poor look on an older face.
|
oh and re the pic, I'd like to see a little more dark liner on the lower lids. The bangs are fabulous, totally make the look work.
|
I think those colors only work on a naturally blonde person. The blues bring out the blues in their eyes but as my eyes are hazel, that doesn't work. Yes, I tried it and didn't like it.
I must admit, that picture had some help. I was taking lessons from a professional makeup consultant since my own efforts only produced the bastard offspring of Ronald McDonald and Bozo the Clown. Now I know that it is possible to look quite good with the right makeup and the right technique. And a set of $100 brushes. :) |
Re: the pic... I try for the minimalist look. You know, less is more?
I am always open to suggestions but other than in person, I find that the internet is not a good teacher to me. I've seen every makeup tutorial on YouTube and none have helped. But a professional in person? Fab! I have never had a female friend sit down and help me however. That might be fun! Clodfobble? I know you're listening. ;) Now I need to go make friends with the MAC consultant over at the mall. |

one does need make-up lessons. Girls get them from moms and friends -where is a boy to turn? Beest and I both wore blankets of make-up in college, but one of the first things I did when we met was show him how to apply it properly. |

But hell, I hate to put the stuff on, it's war paint to me. i'd like to, but I just don't have the time or patience. i only bother when i'm going out in public and feel the need to make an impression/intimidate. |

methinks I could knock Fred over with one of those feathers! LOL
Someone get that man a strong drink! STAT! |
Oh, and for the record, I wasn't wearing lip gloss. That is a combination of the lighting, the camera flash and no editing. The photographer is a makeup artist, not a professional photographer!
Also I was wearing the wrong foundation shade that time. He was out of the one I need and this was closest in tone. I know it looks a bit off, compared to the rest of me but it was the best we could do. That pic is circa 2005. |
I hate foundation. 2005? You still look young for your age in that shot. It must agree with you
|
2005? just before salt grass then. that was what? 2006?
|
Brian, I don't know if this is PC or not. I'll be buggered if I can figure it out, but I just wanted to say that you make a pretty attractive woman. I've never seen you as a man, so I can't comment on that.

:rant: Actually I'm more amused that nobody noticed you plagiarised LotR. Which poem was it? Oh yeah and congratulations on the Pamela stuff. |
Wow. Awesome pic. You look so striking. Beautiful. And congrats on such a major decision.
|
That's a great dress or is it a feather boa?
|
I'm fluent in Turkish. Oh yeah, and I'm also new to this forum. :)

Brian, Thanks for trusting everyone here.
As always, I am curious about several things ... - why on earth would you CHOOSE to wear pantyhose and high heels (yes, I know that flats are more likely for you, but that spoils my question)? - will you lose the ability to parallel park and repair automobiles? - nice glamor shot. |
I am jealous Brian. Since you are in the middle of the transformation you can still use both sexes to your advantage depending on the situation.
Ah the years I spent helping girls and guys look glamorous. :) [I ran an entertainment service, striptease] I don't miss my 7 inch high heels ;) |
Pamela, you have the most gorgeous hair.
|
BrianR is your user title. Do you want us to call you Brian, BrianR, or Pamela? Or Pam?
Are you going to change your profile picture and ask for a changed user name? Each day, do you dress as a woman? Have you thrown away your men's clothes? I'm curious how it works, this transition. Is it gradual, where you go back and forth between identities as the mood strikes you, or have you said goodbye to Brian and you're now Pam? |

In this biz, the deck is stacked against the drivers. If you have an accident, it goes on a big database which is accessed by all potential employers. If they don't like what they see, you don't get hired. Accidents are reportable for three years on an application. After that, you don't have to list them. So it follows that I just stay clean for three years and my slate is wiped clean, right? Nope! The database keeps records for TEN years. And if you wait more than a year or so to work, you have another whammy to contend with. In order to get hired, you must have RECENT over the road tractor trailer experience. If I took a job hauling hay from fields to market locally or driving an oil tanker for Halliburton every day, that would NOT COUNT as it is not over the road driving and I still wouldn't get hired. I'm going to find a better field to get into. Possibly go to college first and get a degree in something interesting to me. |
Y'know what I find most interesting?
That no one has pointed out the delicious irony in my .sig yet! |
Legal to fire? Damn, that's awful.
A good friend of mine is currently trying to get a place as a PhD student and having problems. Mainly because she did her degree and Masters before she transitioned. She doesn't want her old Uni to know about the change, because she was a military historian and suspects her former tutors and colleagues would be less than understanding. But her PhD proposal sounds really interesting. She is looking at the history of transgender 'treatment' in the UK. We are somewhat behind much of the civilised world in this country in how we define transgender. It is still defined as a psychiatric condition here and in order to access the necessary counselling, treatment and operations 'patients' have to go through the pychiatric system. She's campaigning to try and get that changed, and our council scrutiny panel are supporting her campaign. We are still working from definitions that were set down decades ago. Other countries have updated their definitions several times since the last time we looked at it in any depth over here. Unfortunately, there's a whole school of psychiatry devoted to this 'psychiatric condition' so theres rather a lot of vested interest in it remaining this way. |

Like you, I don't know if this is PC or not, but I'll preface it by saying any offense is born of my ignorance, not my malice. I have plenty of the former, and none of the latter. Pamela, ... wow. You're beautiful. Aaaaand, I have met BrianR in person. I went back and reviewed the pictures of our meeting and while there is a unmistakable resemblance, this is an entirely new look. By the way, my previous offer still stands. If you're ever back in the neighborhood, please contact me (email is best these days) and we'll have dinner or something. I'd be happy to have you as my guest. |

You know what, fuck gender, I'm really evilly glad that was a wig. Now I just need to get Jinx to admit she has very expensive hair extensions and my nasty side will be satisfied. |
I have had those, too. I wish I had the money to put them back in and maintain them. I loved them!
Even if I did have to make a few adjustments here and there to accomodate them. |

Brian/ Pamela - are you okay with all the questions? I only know you online, but you seem pretty robust. It's just Ibram's recent posts have made me question my usual reactions... I'm not old-school Dwellar. So I really hope I'm not being intrusive. I really respect your admission of transition, and your willingness to engage with those of us with limited experience of your situation. More recent pics would be lovely. |
I do not mind the questions in the least. If anyone gets rude or offensive or too personal, I will let them know. You in particular are not offending me at all.
I know that a lot of people know little or nothing about transsexuals. I know that you have lots of questions. I don't mind answering them, if only to bring a little more enlightenment into the world. Feel free to ask away! Oh, and more recent pictures will have to wait. So far, I have only approved my glam shots from yesteryear for public display. Rest assured, I am taking pictures weekly to document my transition. Someday, I will post them all in order so that friends can see the changes better. |
