Containing The Excitement

Ladies:

I will ask you all to think back to when you first started hormones and the rush of feelings and excitement that race through your mind. The first number of weeks really nothing was happening; the last week or so some tingling in the nipple area but the last few days my skin has absolutely gotten soft.

I keep rubbing my arms and hands to see if it real, and it is - My skin is much muhc softer. I have to wait about a half year or so before I can jump out into the world as a woman, but I am hoping the physical changes will be well on their way and I am SO excited about the upcoming changes and can only hope that the fat redistribution, the breast and areola/nipple growth and the mental changes are well on the way.

I have never been so in tune with my mnd and body and I can begin to imagine how wonderful and different a bath will feel; I have been a shower type of person in the past. Has anyone else started to enjoy bathing more often as opposed to showers?

I enjoy reading the stories and experiences and I am learning so much from all of you and thanks for everything!

oooo hot bubbly bath nothing like it to sooth the soul. In the nearly 4 months Ive been on hormones my skin has softened beautifully, the hairs have started softening and lightening out, I seem to be one of the lucky ones since it has nearly clobbered my beard growth (YMMV on this). The scales say I am putting on weight but I can't for the life of me see where. Now if I could loose this cycle my body is setting up id be fine

I love a long hot relaxing bath,showers are for when I have some place I must be.

And new sister,Welcome to your womanhood and the journey of your lifetime.

Yes our skin gets baby soft and freaks out those who knew the old us that it has

become so girlishly soft.I am Angie,in transition thirty months today...yay.

Wait until those womens arms start coming,and that wonderfully hairless body.

You have a lot to look forward to on this magical long journey,as the changes

keep slowly but steadily happening.

Big Soft Hugs Paula,

Angie

Oh my....

Welcome to womanhood, Honey...

I'm 9 months in and it's all happened to me , too....

Soft skin is the thing that I REALLY like (breasts are great, too, but......)

And taking care of it is paramount!

It cuts/tears so easy now....

So, long hot bathtub soaks are in order followed by a nice fragrant lotion!

Yes... that skin is soft now...I love it!

Huggs!

My favorite scent is Lavender.I use it with my liquid soap and body lotion.

Mmmmmm so feminine.I lotion immediately after bathing,while my body

is still damp.My skin absorbs it so easily and I feel so silky soft and fragrant.

I love being a girl,truly I do.

Angie......

I tend to have dry skin and here in the north, winter plays helll with it. The dry air from the furnaces and such...

I use a product from Melalauca called "Renew"...

It's silky smooth and has a pleasent smell that doesn't clash with your perfume...

Kinda pricy, though..$20 for 20oz......

But after a shower or bath it is wonderful!

Stay soft, Honey!

That's the one thing I don't like about larry and my new apartment, just a shower. Because our place is designed for the disabled a roll in shower is what we got stuck with. I miss my bubble baths as well as long soaks in dead sea salts for healing some of my skin aliments.

All this talk about baths is making me want to go home and soak in a nice warm tub!

I'm not on hormones, but I've found after showering and shaving, putting Aveno moisturizer on my arms, legs (partially shaved) and shaved middle parts feels awesome! I get a nice softness that last almost all day! It got a little tough when I was shaving my underarms. I use mineral salts instead of anti persperant and it stung a bit. So I use baby powder on my underarms and the middle parts.

Any alternatives for delicate areas?

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you.

      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
    • Ashley0616
      try to send me a message about it if you want.

      Not sure I could handle 4" heels.  I do have some 2" ankle boots though.

      When I got on HRT people remarked on how happy I was.  I had insisted that I was happy before, but now I realized I only thought so.
    • Birdie
      My new 4" heels I picked up today! 😘

      One of the nicest confirmations for me was when the 'new me' felt absolutely normal. I had, like almost everyone, felt very excited with each new development. But 6 years in, it's wonderful just experiencing things, like HRT, as daily rituals that are simply part of my life.   I also am privileged to have experienced a feminine perspective these last six years. It confirms how unhappy I was earlier, and things like masculine privilege and mansplaining are so apparent to me now.    Kind regards,   Astrid

      OK, I have several things that should be going for me, but really don't make much difference.  I have been on HRT since 2009 but my height is 5'11 and 230 pounds, not much up top and have never done facial hair removal sol without make-up it is old lady white on my face.  Every now and then I get someone with that weird look on their face but rarely get fully "clocked" as Trans unless I am in a bunch of Drag Queens  even without being in Drag.  For the most part though I simply no longer worry about misgendering and "do not hear it" if it happens, but if I hear too much I just leave the situation.   Your genetics are playing a big part in your life due to the height and inability to "Bulk UP".  That said, in ordinary daily life are you trying too hard to "man up?" so that your actions are exaggerated and not convincing.  A chip on the shoulder male will invite more trouble that one not trying so hard.  Do you know who you are?  Be that person and the gender is easier to pull off.  I am an overweight feminine dressing older lady with dyed red hair and some minorly atypical ability to take part in "male interests" hobby wise and I can be assertive in business issues.    I have two Trans Male acquaintances who could be your body doubles.  One is a true friend and has male traits of interest in people, a willingness to care and be straightforward in masculine behaviors, is a good listener and a whole lot of that stuff in him.  He gets an occasional "read" but sloughs it off and doesn't respond.  The other acquaintance will remain just that since he is screechy, thinks he is a celebrity in the community and the whole garbanzo.  He is about 49% likely to be misgendered and go off in a persons face when it happens and makes the rest of us wonder why we keep him around.    We are our own worst enemies when judging what we look like , absolutely the very worst, and we will call attention to what we see as flaws and out ourselves as I did often in my first years.  By now the problem children in my life have moved on and the rest simply know me as ME and as the result it does not matter if I pass or not.  Hard facts not positivity.  It will take you time, maybe more time than I have to be around, but when all else fails, lower your demands and expectations and it will happen.
