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.

Congratulations, and best of luck for the future!

Thanks, I'll try that! My eyes are definitely very oily.

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.
