Adam’s Apple - Hiding a Prominent Trachea

Boston Proper - Choker Collection

Having a visible "Adams' Apple" has never been a problem for me. Just luck of the draw, I guess. I received an e-mail flyer today from Boston Proper Clothing and there were many beautiful sweaters in what they called the "Choker Trend - Beyond the Necklace". These are all beautiful models and I am sure none of them have a pretending Adams' apple. Of courser, the all look very feminine and stylish. I love the white sexy, almost turtle neck, in the center.  Here are the details on the sample layout items above.  There are many more.

MOCK-NECK KEYHOLE CHENILLE SWEATER (in White)

MOCK NECK KEYHOLE EMBELLISHED SWEATER (in Grey)

KEYHOLE FLARE-SLEEVE TOP (in Black)

SIDE CORSET MOCK-NECK SWEATER (in Red)  

I have mixed results with Boston proper. More better that worse.  Returns are easy. They tend to be pretty close on sizing and items run to the sexy side. I am not saying that is a bad thing. 

These are good fashion solution and seem to be so much better than just a choker, i.e. wide ribbon - necklace. To me these call attention to an area you are trying to minimize. Raised necklines fashions, like above and proper hair style are so much better. See: 5 Ways to Hide Your Adam’s Apple

Also there are permanent solutions available and FFS surgeons have perfected this delicate procedure. Watch Dr. Mardirossian YouTube video below. For information, call his office for a free in-person or Skype consultation.  

In our practice the tracheal shave is an effective, safe, and permanent procedure that reduces the prominence of the Adam’s Apple. We uses special trachea shave techniques to remove all the visible cartilage while preserving the vocal cords. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with other feminization procedures. - Dr. Mardirossian

  

Sanctioned Discrimination

My County Court House Water Fountain - 50's 

Using religion to veil discrimination and hatred is not new. This past week US Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued sweeping guidance to executive branch agencies on the Justice Department’s interpretation of how the government should respect "religious freedom". I wrote about it here - A Step Backward.  

As I child I was very aware of established and sanctioned discrimination. There were race divided lunch counters, bathrooms, movie theaters and signs reading "whites only”. Even the churches of the same denomination had separate building and congregations.  

While attending church with my grandmother, I literally had a front row seat to a religious freedom discussion. Time - the early 60's. Blacks under strong leadership were exercising their rights and letting the Jim Crow south know that discrimination was wrong on many levels.  

That Sunday morning the question put before the congregation was, what to do if a black person enters the church during a service and takes a seat?  As it was called back then “desegregate” the church. The consensus plan was to sing the closing hymn and everyone stand and leave. Thus, not acknowledging the “intruder”. This was until my grandmother stood and stated that not respecting someone (any person) was not Christian. She then read to the congregation Acts 10:34-35: 

(34) Then Peter began to speak: 'I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism (35) but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right'. (New International Version -NIV)

That ended the discussion and the church decided that day to welcome all entering with open arms. I have never been more proud of my grandmother and still am. 

Maybe it time for today’s so called religious leaders, to reconsider what Jesus and Apostles really taught.  

President Lyndon Johnson resolved when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. "Invidious discrimination is wrong. And it doesn’t matter why someone wants to discriminate."
