Yus! Buy all the dresses!

Things I've found out this week:
- wearing a skirt makes me look pregnant (way too much belly fat)
- makeup looks a lot better from a distance
- eyeliner won't stick (tried liquid and pencil so far)
- I have no idea how to do makeup
- skincare makes a huge difference
- camisole over t-shirt rocks!
- buying clothes I like is fun!
- still look like a fat old man in drag :(
Aww, that's so sweet! What a kind gesture. The outfits look super natural, and I bet they feel great! Love the hair, too.
You look so good, I'm jealous!
Thank you so much for posting the progress pictures. I'm facing losing a similar amount of weight as part of getting to where I want to be, and you give me hope.
What a wonderful smile! And congratulations on the hormones!
Seconded. I had a great time at university, but geez do I wish I'd come out then rather than waiting till now. That's just present-day me talking of course; please don't take it as pressure to do something you're not ready for.
OP, you have all the time in the world. You're not going to miss out on anything, so stay safe, OK?
Girls are the best <3
Still haven't quite figured myself out yet, and I don't see myself turning away from girls post-transition, but... maybe bi? I kind of get all blushy thinking about it though.
Objectively... quite good? But I feel terrible. The dysphoria is strong and I feel like I'm faking it.
- Told my wife explicitly I'm transgender. "Oh yeah," she says, "you always had that kind of an air about you." Now you tell me! Haven't talked about transitioning yet.
- Since my egg cracked the desire to stuff myself full of junk food and get drunk has just vanished. I'm eating healthier and WAY less.
- Tried putting on makeup; just copying tutorials so far, but apparently I resemble my mother. Was aiming for something a bit younger though :(
- Bought a BLÅHAJ. If I'm going to jump on the trans bandwagon I might as well have something to hug.
- All the clothes in the women's section are for people 20cm shorter and half my weight
- But I did find a cute hat. My face looks stupid beneath it, but I'm going to wear it anyway.
- I painted my nails, and I can't stop staring at my hands. Awww yeah :3
- Noticed that I actually have quite feminine fingers (and incidentally a noticeable cupid's bow). Win, I guess!
- I want to start HRT.
- Kind of hoping someone will call me a good girl?
I've sharpened mine maybe once or twice using a wetstone? (Should probably do it more often) Stropping usually seems enough to keep it working well. Technique is actually pretty simple: once you figure out how to hold it, it's just like any other razor (stroke it over the skin, and never sideways). Although by changing the angle you can get really fine control in tight spots.
Thank you <3
I'm honored, thank you! Billy Joel rocks!
Thanks, I'll try that! My eyes are definitely very oily.
