Altering The Body With Hrt Or Surgery

I've been seeing a counsellor for my gender issues and doing some research on androgyny. As a born male I'm unhappy with so many masculine signifiers. I shave my body hair, wax my eyebrows and wear fitted clothes to balance myself out somewhat. From what I've read there isn't a standard expression of androgyny but given my dysphoria I wanted to know if any of you have gone as far as HRT or surgery - and if so;

Was androgyne the gender you identified with when you began HRT/surgery?

Even if it wasn't, are you happy with the outcomes of HRT/surgery as an androgyne?

Do you generally present as both sexes, neither, just the one or alternate between?

And here's one for everybody;

What other measures do you take to appear androgynous?

Thanks for your insight :D

Hi Kino! :)

I can only answer the latter question;

To outwardly appearing more androgynous (to get in tune with my looks and mind) I started with make-up, especially for the hands, like clear nail polish -but sometimes flashing red- I don't do much on the face, since it is VERY easy to "overdo". I really love bracelets, in any form as long as they fit with the overall appearance. Furthermore I started to wear unisex clothes more and more, and since of late also certain feminine clothing, like nice pants with wide-legs or a nice dark blouse.

Luckily I'm fairly masculine for a woman minus my height- I'm short and have curves. My voice isn't high sounding and I'm pretty male unconsciously.

This is sorta a cop out. I am androgynous by default - that in between stage of transitioning. i am not out everywher so I present androgyne most times.

Denim girl jeans - boot cut

No socks

Clogs

Teeshirts - tight for girl, loose for guy ( my breasts are coming in )

Long hair - baseball cap for guy, out and wild for girl

Jewelery - bracelets all the time - earrings in for girl

Make-up - none for guy

that does it.. people stare and try to figure me out - and I am MTF... but...

Lately I am geting less and less attention because I am slipping into the masculine female stage.

      masculine women

      By Thea · Posted

      I'm a masculine woman. It's not about masculinity though. It's about expanding what it means to be a woman.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      It never rains but it pours.  We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond.  Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft.    With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow.  Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along.  And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck.  So much more cozy.    And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      I have played clarinet, but without talent.  And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.

      Heeelp! tips on masculinizing my face?

      By FelixThePickleMan · Posted

      Something that would help is reducing salt intake which causes the body to hold water and causes inflammation, another thing would be to add cardio to your exercise routine. Lowering your overall body fat will affect your face appearance. Hope this helps :)

      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      Sort of a Lousy Introduction

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      Question

      By VickySGV · Posted

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.
