My new look.

Guys how do I look. Am I passable? I just bought my first wig and went to the store yesterday. Would anyone know that I'm a trans woman? Yesterday was the very first time going out in public wearing makeup, I thing getting a wig has given me courage. Anyway, I need a honest opinion on how I look. I wasn't nervous being out in public at all. It was like an ordinary trip. That I am most shocked about. I thought I would have butterflies flying around in my belly making me feel just a bit sick, but nope, I felt like it was normal. Anyway, what do you guys think. Passable or not.

You are looking good! Look forward to the day when you can go round the mart without wearing a mask to hide your beauty.

OMG, thank you all. I was worried about being "clocked", but I thought about it and I really don't care about those people that have a problem with the girl I am. I honestly think I look cute, I just wish I could do my makeup better. But that will come in time. Yesterday I decided that I was going to let my brother see me wearing makeup, but mom decided to prepair him for the shock, so she told him this was the new me. And trust me he was shocked. Now that he knows, that was my last hurdle that I needed to get over to living full time. Well I need more clothing, I only have 1 dress ordered, so for now it's part time.

 

Oh, and mom who said I would make an ugly woman saw me with the wig and makeup on and I asked her her opinion, she said she had seen worse and I asked her if I was ugly and she said no. I think she knew she was wrong and that I am very passable as a woman. I think I have her slowly coming to my side. Oh and on the 16th I get to see an endocrinologist for HRT. I'm so excited. I figure that the hormones will help make my face even prettier. OMG I can't wait, I'm finally going to start my womanhood. I am woman, hear me roar!

 

Thanks Tracy_J, Susan R, Bri2020, KayC, and ElizabethStar. You girls are the ones I get my strength from. Love you All!

I'm so excited for everything that's coming up in my life. :)

After the positive response I got here from the girls here I decided to tell a long time guy friend of mine. I was worried about what he wouldn't be as open as the girls were here. Turns out I was wrong and boy I am glad I was wrong. Even his wife was great, she even went as far as telling me I was really hot. Hearing her say I was hot made me a bit weak in the knees. I've never heard anyone say that about me before. I can't wait until I'm ready to start dating. Hello World, it's Holly and I'm finally ready to be noticed and I'm ready for my first real  relationship.

Thank you KayC. Having people that are supportive is one of the greatest things in the world when you go through what we all are or have went through. I love this site because of the people. Hugs Holly!

OMG Girls, I'm just dying right now. I was out today at the doctors office minding my own business when I happen to over hear two ladies talking and I happen to hear one of the ladies say to the other one she had to say something to the lady. That's when she came over to ME and said she liked my hair. I told her thank you. The women at my doctors office said they saw me but didn't know who I was. I can't wait to get my cloths in the mail. Going to be amazing to complete the part. lol.  I don't know whats greater about today, that I passed or that someone actually liked my hair. OMG I'm in heaven right now. I guess that answers my question as to if I'm passable or not. I'm dying right now!!!

 

Oh I one of those tela-call things with an endocrinologist on the 3rd. I'm excited to start HRT. As passable as I think I am, I think HRT will only help me look more feminine. Well I hope they will. lol

 

Thank you Lexi C, Hugs Sister. Love Holly!

This is not me asking for compliments, this is me stating facts. I look so damn cute today. I bought a new pink headband and a pair of gold hoops. And the neighbor asked my mom who the new girl is and is she single. Broke his heart to find out I wasn't interested. A girl has to be single for a bit longer until I get to be a woman playing the field.. lol

I agree with  @ElizabethStar ...it all looks very nice on you. You look happy and confident and that’s half the battle right there.

 

Keep experimenting and trying new things and you’ll continue to find what works for you and what doesn’t. You’re doing really well.

 

My Best,

@HollyNoel, You are an inspiration, girl. Your confidence has you glowing. I liked the idea someone else shared a while back about going to goodwill and getting a bunch of stuff to test out and then taking whatever doesn't seem like your style back. Then doing it all over again. It's inexpensive compared to how I did things. I just bought everything new except for a few things. That was ok since I already had been planning my style for a really long time. My mistakes were sizing issues. I just kept everything and figured I'll gift the stuff or lose enough weight to fit them eventually. Most likely they will be gifts.:D

Thank you Abi. I want to be an inspiration so that I can help others. Everyone here is an inspiration for me, they help me when I can't see my therapist. I don't know about buying from goodwill, the goodwills here are touchy about returning things. If I were to buy from goodwill, if it didn't work then I would just resonate back the the goodwill. Might as well donate and help our community.

Yeah they don't do returns too often. I spent 20 dollars and got like five things. Four out of five worked out well enough. I can just donate the one I didn't want when I go in for more and I'm still money ahead in my book. We all have our preferences of course. I know how difficult it can be to find things I like at goodwill but when I went to my goodwill I found the most awesome comfy pajama bottoms ever. They were worth the twenty I spent alone.

Abi, I go to all the thrift stores in the area, I can't find stuff too often that fits me. Right now I'm looking for shoes that fit. At the moment they are the illusive item in my closet. I really don't want to have to buy new, not with a new pair of cute strappy sandals or heels costing upward of $50-$100. Lord let me find some good shoes in my size of a woman's 13. lol

Link to comment

I feel you on the shoes Holly. I have literally no chance of finding decent looking shoes. I found some neutral high tops at journeys but nothing feminine. I have heard there are shops that make ladies shoes in my size but I have not looked at prices. I assume they are not cheap. If they look good and feel good then that makes all the difference.

Yeah Abi, I think I need a size 13, but mom thinks I can get away with a size 12. Whatever the size, I want something cute and comfortable. I know, I need a genie! I get the feeling that it's going to be one or the other. lol

 

Hugs Holly!

Clarks and Naturalizer and David Tate make larger sizes. You should be able to find wedges and block heels or flats.  Mary Janes and tall heels are bit challenging at those sizes.  https://www.dsw.com/en/us/browse/David+Tate/N-1z128t5Z1z128t1

Hit up DSW if there's one near you and go to the clearance section.  I've found lots of nice and or cute ones in size 12

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
