Some Feminizing Help?

So, this is not really a passing thread in the normal sense, its more about passing off in a more feminine way

Read: In a feminine way.

Maybe its just my bias as, well, being me, but I see myself as a dude.

End. Of. Story.

So I was hoping you'd be able to give me some tips to feminize my appearance (facial wise, as thats the only part I can do without magic :P)

I'll post a picture

Hopefully that worked

Maria your vivid feminine personality shines through your eyes and face-I have never seen even a hint of anything but an amazing girl in your pics. Maybe because it IS so strong in your eyes. As long as you give people a few visual clues in dress or hair or make-up they can't help but see female either as long as the voice is good. Voice is one real killer when it comes to presentation. But some people just exude their gender and you are one.

You could have a make over at a cosmetics counter in a department store if they do that there and I had an impression it was done almost everywhere. That would give you some ideas. Your brows look just a little thick in the center from what I can tell from the pic but it's hard to be sure. Keeping your brows thin and clean not only looks more feminine it also open up your eyes.

I'd say emphasize your eyes. They are beautiful and as I said they radiate your female soul.

And as feminine as your face looks to me now I can only imagine what HRT is going to do as you go along!

Maria,

Sorry can't do for two reasons. One I have always seen you and still do as a woman. Second, I have no clue about tips on feminizing appearances since I have been kicking and screaming at anything feminine since birth. Seriously, I threw temper tantrums and refused to wear girly clothes and I prevailed.

So why am I responding. To say hi and tell you I support you in whatever you wish to do towards this goal.

Sweet Maria,

A dude? You are most certainly a dudette! :D

You just exude femininity at it's best and most innocent. You are just sweet looking.

The only things I can think of are to arch the eyebrows and thin them a bit and use pretty ribbons or hair clips or some such pretty things in your beautiful hair.

A dude.... a dude?

Oh, get your eyes checked.

You're a pretty girl. Snap out of it.

Hugs,

Becky

Maria....I've seen a few pictures of you in posts you've made, and I still fail to see even a hint of male in your face. I can't imagine you as anything but a girl. And a pretty one at that ;)

This,

and this.

Seriously, that bias must be pretty heavy for you to see a dude. Relax that's not what you're conveying at all, besides you're too pretty to be worrying.

You are the most amazing 'boy' I had ever seen here on Laura's Playground because without the slightest bit of HRT you are a girl. Maria? You are a girl, you look like a girl. Maria, can I say it again? You have always looked like a girl from your first day here. Is you can't see it, I don't really know what to say? Maybe some 'boys' like you look like 'girls' in Australia and people see you as a boy, but in the USA where I live you look like a girl.

How can I tell a girl how to look more like a girl?

I see absolutely nothing male about your face. We are all our biggest critics. I'd say you should use some mascara or something to accentuate your eyes a little more. As a guy, I don't know all that much about makeup, but you should do something with your eyes because in my opinion they are your best feature.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!

      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer

      The source of estrogen can matter. I started HRT at age 50. My avatar was the result. I started on pills, and moved to estradiol valerate injectables. However, there was a shortage, and I had to use a compounding pharmacy. The estradiol would evaporate in the vial, and couldn't get 5 doses out of it. I eventually move to the patch.    Over time I realized the patch wasn't working properly. And, the last time I visited my doctor he told me my estrogen levels were low. He asked me if I wanted to change to estradiol valerate. I jumped for joy. So I started my script for estradiol valerate. My prescription was ready, but I didn't receive my script for needles for a couple of weeks. So I bought my own (legal). I started with intramuscular injections. This requires a longer needle, and the estrogen is released into the muscles. It has a powerful effect right away but isn't stable. So by the time I took my next injection 2 weeks later, the estradiol in my bloodstream was almost gone. When I finally received my script for my needles, the needle was shorter. So the injection was subcutaneous. What is different with this type of injection as that the estrogen released is more even over 2 weeks (before the next injection). Interesting the syringe/needles my doctor prescribed are so much higher in quality. I am going to follow his path. My breasts are now perky again. And I will let my doctor guide me.    I wish you success on your journey. Let us know how things are proceeding. I am happy for you.   Jennifer

      Patches are the HRT method of least risk. Be aware of your estrogen levels with bloodwork. My doctor took me off patches because my estrogen levels were low. And put me on estradiol valerate injections. I have to say that made a big difference. Be aware of the changes. I don't know your age, or circumstances, but I would research available options of administering hormones.    There are other methods of taking estrogen, and you should research all of them. When my doctor changed my prescription to estradiol valerate amazing things happened. He was slow to prescribe the needles so I ordered them online. I have used injectables before. Getting the nerve to poke myself with the needle was a great hurdle to overcome.   As far as a rollercoaster feeling, I never felt that as much as the excitement of finally starting HRT. That overrode everything. I couldn't focus on how my emotions changed, for excitement trumped all emotions. Let the emotions of starting HRT settle, then make the decisions you feel will best benefit you.    Good luck with your journey,   Jennifer

      Regarding the candidates...this is the best either side could do since Obama was President? Biden is supportive, but when I see really solid gains, like ensuring that all transition services are covered by all insurance companies, I will believe the support.   I do not think anybody is trying to destroy the country, but with the current polarization, there is no compromise. There is this "you are either with us or against us" mantra being touted. We can moan all we want about Trump and his ilk, but face it: They are very well coordinated on a national level. They currently have a number of states with a super-majority.   What set all of this in motion? I suspect that there is a lot of things that got under the skin of a lot of conservative folks. Some of it our own fault, and some of it not. Make no mistake, we are in trouble. If they successfully ban child and adolescent transition nationally, I suspect we will be next. Now they may not pass a law, but if they eliminate the requirement that insurance companies cover the costs of medications, procedures, and surgeries, there will be fewer folks transitioning. The services may still be available, but it will be a cash only business. There are already a fair number of healthcare providers who will not accept the insurance reimbursement rates. There are a number of folks that will lack the resources. That is how you limit our existence. We will still exist, but it will get much harder.
