? They look natural to me. Even with real ones, you need that Parka outside in the cold, it hurts less. My favorite coats are the ones that are like sleeping bags with arms and fur trim.

Well, I like the cold so wearing the parka zipped all day was more to hide them...?

You look happy! How did they feel for you? They seem to be the right size for you.

They're a nice size and fit well. They're 1000cc from a company selling on Amazon as Ivita. If I decide to go down the path of HRT I'd be happy if I ended up like that naturally.

 

I think I'm going to look into other shaping wear so have a more feminine hips and butt. In the whole "butt or boobs" line of thinking I'm more into a nice butt. (I'd love to have the kind of figure that Sir Mix-A-Lot would praise.)

OK, so you're more built like a friend of mine (she's a touch taller but until she told me I could have SWORN she was taller than 5'4"). Doesn't mean anything though, she's been practicing martial arts since junior high and could probably kill me if she wanted to. Then again, she has an intersex condition and is sporting more testosterone than I am on any given day. I've never seen anybody give her a hard time either, but she goes to a private martial arts gym so I imagine the etiquette is different.

 

Hugs!

Being trained in self-defense does help with walking with confidence, I just don't have the stamina to fight long battles cuz of my hypoglycemia and anemia leave me with a very short energy bar to work with. I don't know my hormone count cuz haven't had those tests and I'm really good at avoiding doctors. I swear if I go to the doctor and they tell me "you have a intersex condition", it would answer a lot. I don't fear the can of worms so much as the clean up cuz I really don't have the energy to be spending on the extra management. More than likely after the pandemic, I'll have to face all them tests. Didn't even get a chest x-ray.

I was thinking once my (rather sizable) income tax return arrives I might go clothes shopping, even if I only go to Goodwill.

Got some of my favorite items from Goodwill, you just might need a bit of repair work after but it's all still good.

Seriously. Goodwill, thrift stores and resale shops are a freaking goldmine. You can find some great pieces for not so much cash. It takes some looking, but looking is fun too!

There is a Goodwill Outlet within sorta reasonable driving distance.  I have found some nice things in those big bins.

So true Jackie! Several months ago I went to a Value Village and they were restocking the shoes. They added a cute pair of ‘like new’ SAS casual shoes in the size 9-10 part of the sales rack. A woman standing closer than me picked them up, tried them on, and looked at me and said, “I’d buy them if they were blue tagged” and put them back. Blue was the 50%off color that day. After she walked away I tried them on and they fit perfectly. I paid $7.50 for them and it was seniors discount Tuesday so I got 30% off.

 

Later that week I went to see if I could buy another pair online figuring I could get a pair for $40-50. Nope, at the time they were priced at $147.50. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn male or female.

@Niamh

? Love them killer deals but it is sad when you can't repeat cuz of the original killer prices. Those do look very nice and I like the maroon dark red color. They also have a reasonable height and have a good heel. Good shoes may be expensive but since you need your feet well kept, some things are worth the extra money.

80% of my wardrobe is thrift store finds.  I live in a pretty affluent area so thrift stores are always stocked with nice things here.  Sunday I'm going to look for some more yoga pants, I need to size down! I should only have to spend about $5 each so in theory a $20 bill would be my cost for the day. Problem is, I will probably fill a shopping cart for $100 lol.  Yes, I have a problem.

SAS are very comfortable!   That was a fantastic bargain. 

 

I have a pair of Chanel slip on flats that were given to me by an aunt.  They are divine to wear.  I know they were four figure shoes to buy new.  Are they worth that?  No but it shows what a hand made shoe can be.  Cheap shoes may look nice but they don't last.  I'm into having things for the long run.  

 

The majority of my clothes are second hand.  Way cheaper and lots of life left!  Win-Win!

I just ordered a pair of inexpensive hip-and-butt shaping panties and some cheap yoga pants that are one-day shipping so I'll give them a go tomorrow. From what I'm seeing there's a price floor for decent quality shapewear and breast forms and right now I'm only able to touch the very bottom. For example, I'd love to see how a larger chest would look on me, but couldn't afford it.

 

I live in the Indiana suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky and we're pretty solidly middle class area and the Goodwill store reflects that. Sometimes there's some amazing deals, but it's slim pickings for nice things other times.

Hara you look fine and the boobs are just right. Yeah it was cold here today so deff wear a coat.

I got out and found a few tops and a pair of jeans today so it was a productive day.

Goodwill is one place I go to all the time.You never know what you will find there. The clothes selection is awesome you just  have to comb thru a  lot to find the jems.

Going to hit some pawn shops tomorrow and find a decent digital camera that doesn't wash everything out like my phone cam.

To top it all off the pics I took tonight I deleted the whole group accidentally.

Not a good night at all but I am laughing at myself .

Thanks Vanessa I will wait until Jackie comments and see what can be done.

Its not a big deal really I just messed up.

I keep way too many pics stored on my phone and was cleaning it out and deleted my new pics like a bozo.

I like that picture @Teri Anne you look adorable.  Nice look @Niamh, I'm enjoying getting dressed up for my zoom meeting.  Therapy is another safe place I like to look nice for.

 

I've been having great luck mixing Goodwill with a little Walmart, H&M, and ebay.  All pretty cheap.  Retail for the staples and thrift shops for the unique pieces.

 

I actually dug out some man clothes today, but only because I'm wet sanding and polishing a car, and need some junk I can throw away after wearing.  I guess I'll save some of that stuff for disposable clothing. ?

After 42 years, I don't think I'm ready to give up the easy sizing on men's pants. And I've thought for years that the "female version of me" would wear men's jeans for the same reason. (And I've met plenty of women who do that.)

Ask a mod, we'll take care of any edits you like.

 

Jealous though. I wish my hips looked like that. I'm basically Wonder Stick.

Ew, really? I junked all my man pants because my very, very delicate skin could not deal with the heavier, coarser fabric anymore. They just feel like wearing a mail sack.

I second the ew. Mail sack has got to be the most accurate description yet.

I donated every piece of male clothing I had except a few hoodies and some t-shirts from places I've been. The tshirts I sewed up for a more hourglass shape and a dart here or there.  They are still to big but at least they are feminine.

 

Today I really felt the need to "rock it". I've been having some dysphoria lately so out came the skirt with a few pleats in the back, tights, pumps and a ribbed top that almost feels like a really light sweater. It flairs nicely and makes me feel like I have some hips. lol If I have to work on the weekends I might as well look good doing it ;) 

Everything here except shoes/tights were thrift shops including the jewelry.  Minus shoes, this whole outfit was probably $18-$20. The shoes were clearance rack DSW.  They are Clarkes so they're very comfy.  I think they were about $30.  I have to say, I'm very lucky to live in such an accepting area and running my own business means I can present the way I want.  I really feel for those of you who can't.

I felt like dressing up today. I also put on a bra after my first round of pictures made it PAINFULLY obvious I wasn't wearing one.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
