Hehe, I've been going around the past week or so (still mostly stealthing) with shaved arms, legs, and painted nails, and despite a couple of double-takes, nobody even commented. (Actually a bit disappointed...)

just trying to do what you think is attractive
Oh yeah, that's been a total brain-melt for me too. I think I'm starting to see a difference between "be her" and "be with her" attraction, but so far I've just been trying things out at random :)
I forget where it was, but I saw some photos recently of plus-size models (proportionally larger than me, I think) who were wearing skirts really well. Apparently there's some idea of "dressing for body shape" which I guess I need to figure out...
Fashion be damned, I'm gonna wear a skater skirt and stripy socks at least once.
Cool, Shea Moisture seems to be available where I am - I'll check it out!
Woah, that's a lot of info! Thank you!
Wise words.
No (that's the joke), but part of me thinks that would make more sense than distinguishing people based on whether their AGAB matches what they currently identify as.
Better than I could put it, thanks!
The joke is using twisted logic to avoid identifying as trans. As I understand it, cis/trans usually refers to same/different identified gender vs that assigned at birth. Instead, we're saying "well I'm a girl now, which matches what I wanted, no need to call myself trans"
Does that help? I'm very new to this myself...
Hope you get it figured out! Good luck ~
I have disliked and largely neglected/ignored my body for most of my life and it’s nice to feel internal motivation to take care of myself and be healthy and i really hope that feeling sticks around.
Absolutely this! Is this how other people feel? It's amazing!
So... pretty sure now I am a girl (~~still~~ not cis tho!). Started off thinking I'd stealth in boymode until I could make the switch, but I kind of want to tell the world and be recognized as at least trying to present fem. I think my sister-in-law knows: nobody has ever complimented my clothes before, and it made me so happy! (even though it was something I got from the men's department ages ago...)
Went into town to visit an LGBT support center and chat with some real-life trans people. At least I think they were; it didn't seem right to ask. I hope I can look that natural eventually.
Skinny fit jeans! They make my legs look great! Anyone have suggestions for tuck-friendly underwear?
Next step might be to start to do something about the beard. That's a bit scary though and I don't know if my hair color will work for laser anyway.
You just blew my mind. I mean, I realize it must take a lot of knowledge and practice to get a good result, but...
Wow, if I could get whatever design in exactly my size...
