Female Latex Mask


Guest Diana Prince

As I have posted a few times in the past, I am not really interested in shaving my facial hair, or even in wearing makeup for that matter. However, I have considered getting one of those female latex masks to help make the image more "complete" when I am dressed up. That doesn't seem to fit the norm here from what I have seen, but I am curious to see if anyone else has considered that before... or maybe even gotten one and tried it. I am sure it probably isn't very comfortable, but I am never dressed up for very long stretches of time anyway. The major downside is that they are extremely expensive. I was trying to find a cheaper way to simply get a latex covering for my face to cover over my beard and moustache and then I could do the makeup, etc... however, I couldn't find anything. Then I figured it would probably just be easier to just get a mask that is already painted on. They look kind of freaky, but not as freaky as my manly face while wearing female clothes!

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

I've seen those on the internet. I always felt they were just a prop. I didn't want to spend the money. The beard and moustache - all I can say is it needs to go, if you are serious about showning feminine in the mirror.

But I am not a CDer anymore - and I guess I never was. I will and have sacrified everything to be a woman, so I guess I am not able to give advice anymore.

A full face latex mask makes you look like you are in disguise - I would not go anywhere near a bank, jewelry store or convenience store while wearing one.

If you are determined to keep the facial hair, you might look into theatrical prosthetics - they make small patches of latex - chins and the like for actors and you glue them on with a special glue that can be dissolved rather than pulling the hair out - it is a little more natural looking once you learn how to blend them in but many times they do not survive repeated use so the cost again is very high.

Lizzy has it right if you want to look female the hair needs to go.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Diana,

I don't think there is a norm here. We are all different in unique ways and everyone is welcome here. What is normal anyway?

I have never used a latex mask but if you feel comfortable dressing the way you have been then I personally wouldn't bother. You are dressing for you own needs no-one elses.

Good luck with the latex hunting.

I've seen some pretty life like ones on female mask sites. It would seem to me that if a person was disfigured, or had facial hair that one of these masks would help achieve a more pleasing look. They probably would not pass in public tho. I personally always wanted to try one but, they are expensive and ordering one presents a problem as SO is not a fan.

I found one I really liked, and was hoping I could win it on eBay for under $100.... I not only lost the auction, but it ended up selling for near $250! I am a pretty crafty person, so I am considering experimenting with making some things out of latex. I am already starting to sew my own skirts, do chainmail (the metal kind), and I am about to start leatherworking. So what is adding one more thing? Can't be too hard can it? (Famous last words)

um. there's a norm here? Really? I know I certainly don't fit any norm that I can figure out.

I do think I've seen those masks, too, fortunately I have light body hair, (tho as I age it's sadly increasing) and I would not really consider it for myself. Now laser hair removal, I would consider in places.

But, I do believe pretty much in doing whatever you feel makes you feel better about yourself. Masks or laser or makeup or just single pieces of clothing. We're individuals, and we each have our own desires. If you do try the latex route, Diana, please let us know how it works for you.

Many thanks for the encouraging words Chloë. I know they are not an option for public use, but I never dress in public and have no plans/desire to do so. The only thing that I wanted to solve with the mask was when I am at home and I pass by the mirror and I see my face and beard and .. well... it looks really bad. :) I thought this was anohter way to "mask" that aspect so in the mirror it looked "more right" if that makes any sense at all. Plus I would be able to try this wig I have that simply will NOT do with my facial hair... :)

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
