I saw an ad for this downloadable book, and wondered if it was worth the $39.95? It sounds pretty comprehensive, but you can never tell for sure from an ad. Any experiences with it? Thanks!

You are very wise to question the ads, I have no experience with this book, but maybe some others will.

Love ya,

You have mirrors in the house? and eyes on the street?

I have an old vogue book of beauty for makeup tips, and other than that all I have ever done is observe and try to find my own style.

We need Lizzy XD

Hi Carolyn,

I downloaded the book and there are some good pointers and advice however the information is also freely available elsewhere such as the internet and sites such as this. I bought this book during one of my pink hazes and haven't really referred to it much.

I agree with Lizzy in trying to find your own style but not sure what she means about eyes in the street :P

Julia said it - I doubt an expensive book will do much for you. There is SO MUCH free information out there! Hey - how did I get to be the cross-dressing expert - grin!

And yes - watch what women are - simple way to learn how to dress like you want. Be (1) age appropriate (2) season appropriate (3) appropriate for the place you want to be (or imagine you want to be). That's about it.

And then there are the 'fashion' magazines! Yikes - women never dress like that! But it is fun to see what the fashion industry WANTS women to think. Sometimes they have great make-up and skin care tips.

And my favorite advice?

If you want to look like a woman - BE a woman, at least in your mind. This means crossdressers must FEEL feminine, not necessarily look feminine. An us transsexual We need to FEEL female to act and be female.

Hee hee

Hope this helps!

Lizzy, dear, you always know the best way to say it. Short and sweet. I WILL take your advice. I know I can feel feminine, as that's how I feel inside all the time.

XOXO and **HUGS**

I get my ideas from the women I know and see on te street. I read magazines, browse stores, and create my own sense of style.

I tried going around feeling women but all I got was a lousy restraining order. :P

I don't recommend it.

Oh and forget the fashion ideas in women's magazines! They are great magazines to read as far as becoming a woman and the beauty tips are fantastic, just skip over the fashion pages.

      I could be described, I suppose, as a RWNJ.   A little stereotyping seems to be going on.  Don't complain about Trans stereotypes if you turn around and stereotype others.  A lot of RWNJs are actually decent people and get called that by people who pick up on one or two alleged beliefs.  I would rather single out influential individuals of whatever camp and call them to correction.   Trans folk are a small minority, even as small minorities go.  There are probably a lot more RWNJs running around than there are trans folk.

      They cut a lot of trees here as well.  A lot of them toward the coast end up chipped up and sent to Europe to burn in power plants.  That bothers me, seems like a dumb idea.
    • Ivy
      Most likely.   Unfortunately this was expected.  I expect it will be the norm in any GOP controlled state that hasn't already done it.  So much effort expended against so few.  I certainly haven't seen my area being overrun by trans kids.   And yeah, I fully expect them to go after my HRT next. I think those that are railing against us are much more dangerous than some non-binary high school sophomore.

      Her name is Sunny and she is so much fun. But, as you said @KymmieL, it is a challenge with a new puppy. Thankfully our 13 year old Lab is taking the addition in stride and being supremely tolerant.

      It should be the league's business whether it allows trans women to play, not the park's.   (They seem to be inclusive - good on them)

      Sticking my neck out here, but that's what I see the RWNJ's doing all the time! They always need someone or something to "fight". Everything is a contest to them; there's always a battle to be had, an opponent to defeat, a dragon to slay, then another, and another.    *Sigh* if only they'd put their energy into working with people instead of against them.

      I think i became much more emotional overall.  Perhaps because use a topical E i haven't had the swings that some folks feel but i can laugh  and cry so much easier, sometimes over situations i would never have seen before.  Perhaps my age has something to do with it, but i am also much more peaceful and accepting of the storm life keeps presenting.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I think the interpretation of the question is always going to provide a wide array of answers. Do I have a rich inner life? Yes! Why? Good question!   Circumstances often dictate how we feel within ourselves. I don't have to deal with work anymore and we've been jus' cruzin ever since. I don't have to fix anything, literal or otherwise. My wife and I live a relatively simple life and we are true partners, but deep inside, I'm not answerable to anyone except myself. So, how's that going? Well, since I came out to myself, which happened before I stopped working, I have felt an inner glow that was never apparent before. It is permanent now and it sustains me. How? Effed if I know! All I know is that even if I have down days, and there certainly have been a few, my heart, mind and soul are still smiling. I think it comes from a realization that I am finally happy just to be me.

      I had to look this acronym up.  That certainly has never been part of the LGBTQ community!  Politicians simply attempt to use peoples disgust to create the hate or fear they can "fight" against to win support and power.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Congrats, @April Marie on your new fur kid. As the mom to a 1 yr old fur kid. I know what you are going through. LOL.   Back to work after a good weekend. I hope that work doesn't drag my good weekend down. However, I believe it is wishful thinking. I will do the best that I can, if that is not enough. They can jump in a fing lake.   I have another week until my therapist appointment. So I hope I can make it. it seems my depression is getting worse. Can it, is there something lower that major?  Especially when dealing with work. So, I know I have to get out of there. I have put in for the parts at the local GM. Probably, be like Ford. OH, well nothing ventured nothing gained.      Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs, Kymmie

      If what you mean by defemination  is that folks are doubting or refusing to believe your feminity i'm sure others here have felt that.  I know i have in the past.  It seems to be part of the continuous attempt by some to see us all quietly hiding in the closet.   I don't fit in there anymore.   Hugs,   Charlize
    • Mirrabooka
      Yay!!! 😀 What's her name?
    • Mirrabooka
      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.

      Good morning, everyone!   Sorry I've been absent so much. I truly miss the interaction with you all.    We have a new yellow Lab female puppy in the house as of Saturday so it's a challenge to find time to be here as we get her settled into a schedule, work on housebreaking and training, etc.    So, I'll check in as I can...when I can get a few minutes as she sleeps.   She slept 6 hours last night so we're making progress and we've been attentive to her schedule so no accidents in the house as of now.   She's consistently following the Sit command already - the wonder of puppy treats.    Be safe!!
