Didn't think I had any more egg left to crack, but I'm feeling very called out here! Generally unable to keep up with guy-talk, but get on really well with women and children. And you say transitioning gets you more of this? Bring it on!

Waiting...
... for my hair to get long enough for even a short feminine cut. I don't really feel like wearing a wig, but I guess I might try a cute headscarf.
... to lose weight. I'm going about as fast as I safely can, and it's noticeable, but there's still a lot to go.
... for hair removal. Seeing the effects already, but gotta wait at least a month between appointments.
... for hormones. First appointment in six weeks or so. At least there's DIY as a fallback.
But! I'm out to my family, and my immediate coworkers (I work from home anyway). So I can wear what I want, practice my voice and makeup, and things are good. I don't wear anything more boyish than women's jeans and a semi-fitted T-shirt (OK, fairly neutral), and I guess I'll just tell anyone who asks. Just wish I could see in the mirror how I feel.
Fingers crossed! Let's show that beard the door 👉
Had a nice long chat with the wife. Basically explaining the story so far, all those obvious-in-hindsight things. Talked about how I want to start HRT, and what that will entail. She's cool with it becoming a same-sex marriage, and went as far as to say "I know you're not the type to fool around, but if you decide you like men instead, that's OK with me".
Since coming out things have been noticeably friendlier (not in a euphemistic way, just actually talking about stuff in a warmer tone). Which is surprising, but I'll take it!
Things might all turn out OK after all. ☺️
I'm wondering if that's going to change once I get on E. It's possible I just have (literally) thick skin.
Looking at a chart I guess maybe ash blonde? It started almost white when I was very young (and bits of it are heading that way again). Facial hair is a bit more of a dark reddish-brown.
If I end up prepping for SRS, I think that's going to have to be electrolysis (TMI? sorry)
I have already altered the ~~deal~~ gender; pray I do not alter it any further.
Isn't it just a crop top with arm warmers? I'm no expert tho.
That's cool; you do you!
"What, these? No, they belonged to the last guy to misgender me."
Hooray! Thanks to Kaity <3
