Well, I'm going to have to spend the next, oh, 80 hours pretending I'm that someone I used to pretend to be. So looking forward to Sunday night.

That's rough, sorry to hear that!  When I'm in that situation (virtually anytime I leave the house) I try to tell myself that if I'm a woman and I'm wearing them,  then they are women's clothes.  More often than not it's not particularly helpful but not always. 

 

Best of luck and I hope you are back to authentic you before you know it!

 

@Elizabeth Star  Thanks so much!  Luckily, I stopped working out and I've lost a little muscle mass and gained a touch of fat so I no longer have visible abdominal veins and "man abs".  So nice to not worry about staying below 10 percent body fat anymore!

 

@Lenneth  Thanks for sharing and it's great to see what you actually look like.  There is so much doubt, shame and imposter syndrome BS wrapped up in it.  Besides, if I shave, my mom will cry and tell me she has missed my beautiful face and nobody want that!  Lol  There I go, hiding behind humor again! 

I almost shave it every day but something always stays my hand.  It might be because it would be the first drastic change.  So far everything I do can be easily undone...  clothes, nail polish etc.   Like so far, I've been playing at gender but if I shave, then the thing I don't want to be a thing...  Damn it, I don't want this!  Well, that's not really true, I don't want the consequences of this. 

 

Sorry, that got away from me authentic end there!  

 

Much love

so! Also, I think you have a super cute face - and I know a lot of women who would love to have lips like yours!

@Lenneth Katie is right btw, I know this one would!

Todays look over black leggings. I always seem to forget to get a full body shot before I’m in the car lol. Also experimenting with being able to breath with a body shaper suit under all this.

You look very cute, @JustineM! (PS - IMHO - body shapers are worth a little discomfort...LOL!💜)

Thank you! This was one of the first tops I bought when I started to transition.

As long as I can still breath I can deal with the discomfort lol. Now that I’ve been wearing it a little it’s not too bad.

Eeek!!!  Accidentally bought a crop sweater at the thrift shop during what I've come to think of as panicked purchasing.  Shopping....  not fun!  Trying things on when I get home, now that's a different story!

That top looks super cute on you! 
 

Im starting to enjoy shopping more than I used too. Still don’t hang in shops for hours or anything but I do enjoy browsing the clearance racks at my local stores lol.

Wow, I step away for a couple hours.....

You'al are look fab.

I get the beard thing, I wore some form of facial hair most of my life- good camouflage even for myself to help bury the truth.

My guess is, once you do shave it you will feel amazing (and a bit vulnerable)

Lenneth, facial hair (or body hair in general) is a major trigger for me.  You have dark enough hair for laser to make a big difference in getting rid of the shadow, at least for a while.  Electrolysis is permanent, but very drawn out and expensive.  Given it's a big trigger, I recommend getting to work on it, even if it's only short sessions once a month. Just the fact that you are doing something can sometimes help the dysphoria.  You would be surprised and how much easier shaving is once they start to thin things out even a little.

 

Pink Mary Janes! OMG.

 

I had to go last minute dress shopping at a thrift store last night. I was helping with a Ukrainian refugee fundraiser a friend was hosting at her house (raised $150k in one week!) and I needed something with blue and yellow.  I found this bodycon and it was perfect.

I remember when I first grew it out,  thinking that I was growing a mask and couldn't figure out why I felt that way.  well, that's beginning to become clear!

You're right about using facial hair as a mask. I did the same thing, and when I was a firefighter I kept a handlebar mustache. When I retired, and bought a Harley I grew a goatee. As I came out to my wife, I started trimming my beard closer, and closer. Until I shaved it off, and hardly anyone noticed.

 

You be you,

Good afternoon, everyone looks amazing. 
@Bri2020 you and that dress look amazingly FANTASTIC, HOT, and HAPPY.

@JustineMI love the blue top.

@Kelly2509Our Southern friends will never see late Winter temps in the 50s and 60s as tank top weather. You look wonderful too.

 

Best wishes for all,

Thanks, that's a great suggestion!  I sometimes forget that things don't have to be all or nothing.

Well it’s not perfect, but…

Love the color and glitter!

 

  I still haven't gotten the hang of using my off hand to apply polish(I can drive a nail with it so I haven't lost hope!) but I've found some moisturizer and a hot shower makes short work of skin cleanup and doesn't risk buggering the rest trying to use remover and a Q-tip or brush.

      My kitty has a litter box, which she uses on occasion.  But she prefers to make me get up to led her out. I could install a "cat door" but I'm afraid it would be used more by the possums and raccoons.  I have had possums in the house more than once - even without one.

      Good morning everyone,   It was our first night with our European Boxer and it went well. We got up at 05:30 let him out of the cage and went directly outside to give him a chance to go potty. It has been raining for two days and nights so the grass is soaked and nearly up to his belly. I don’t think he’s ever been outside while it’s raining or wet. I had my rain jacket on and a big brimmed hat as well as rain boots, he just stayed at my feet no matter where we went in the yard. I took him to the previous locations where out daughter’s dog had gone poo, but he just sat at my feet. Once inside and drying him off with a towel. He took a poo right there. So I gathered up his mess, and took him and his poo outside. So right now it’s dog one, trainer zero. Now that the coffee is brewed and I have a cup, he’s chewing on a toy.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Strange that I awoke from a dream dreaming about "being able to pee standing up!"   I know that sounds strange from someone AMAB, but intersex issues have always prevented that.    I wonder what made me dream like that? That was a first! 🤔

      Morning y'all.    Nearly winter here, but it's a mild climate compared to what most of you experience. Even so, the best way to describe the mornings lately is...nipply! 😁

      What I don’t like about the dealer working on my car, yes the put the paper mats on the floor, but why don’t they remove them when they bring my car to me?  And why do they always mess with my radio settings and my electronic dashboard settings?  I get them the way I want them and they seem to want them at factory default.  Leave things like you find them!  Why is that so difficult?  And don’t tell me it’s because the updated the computer! Every time!.  And no I haven’t figured out everything yet on the new car.  I can’t even get my key programmed to move my seat when I get in and out.  It’s supposed to move the seat, the mirrors, the steering wheel and several other things.  My old Eddie Bauer was easy to program but then it only programmed seat location and pedal location.   ok now that we’ve had our rousing knock on cars and dealer mechanics.  What else shall we talk about?  Bras?  Seems like an appropriate subject for most of us.  I have several different types. Two are famous store push-up padded to are more common everyday lightly padded ant one is a no padding no strap slip and the last one is a front close longline no padding.  Now that one supports the theory that I am now a B cup on my own. I’d prefer a C but then I’m not so sure my blouses would still fit without pulling.  Ah the problem we have as women.  And sizes are never ever the same.  Oh I’m a size ??  But men I need a large shirt and 36-30 pants and they always fit.   we can’t buy anything off the rack with confidence it will fit and I hate having to take it home to try one and return what doesn’t fit.   we’ll time to do my hair and leave.   love ya   Willow
