Well I finally hit a salon.  It’s not fancy, but I love it.

Your hair looks great @Lenneth! I hate it that my thinning hair means wigs - but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!🥰

Agreed lenneth, your hair look like it frames your face well compared to some of the before pics.  How was your experience?  I LOVE getting my hair cut. The whole growing it out thing for the last couple years has meant only 2 trips a year to the salon though.  I do have one next week.  YEA

Katie- those shoes are adorbs!

Would look great with capris or shorts as well.

For as much hair as I have, there is a noticeable thinning in the back up by the crown. I can mask it with a messy bun or if I style it just right but alas, I started HRT a couple years to late. the FFS helped with the receding temples.  I don't think my hair has continued to thin though.  I've considered whether it's worth it to do a light hair transplant procedure. I benefit from being tall so most people wouldn't notice anyways.

Good morning everyone! I finally came out recently and have started experimenting with more gender affirming looks, like a little bit of makeup (eyeliner, mascara and lip crayon) and women's shirts, etc in public and am really feeling more like my true self. I am calling to make my initial appointment today to establish care with a gender care services MD that will start my journey to transitioning. I still don't know what all I plan to do, but at least I'm taking the first few steps finally. I hope you all have a blessed day! ❤️ 

Congrats!!!!

@Vanessa Michelle that's wonderful! You look happy. May your happiness increase exponentially!

Does look great.  I'm jealous.   I wish I still had hair.

[Ticket For Epic]

Everyone looks lovely as always!  Soooo jealous of your hairline @Lenneth!

 

Well, I did it, I shaved the mask I've worn for almost 19 years!  I have sooooo much more nose than I remember!!!  Lol

Before:

 

Now: sadly I'm "boy mode" here...  The closet comes at a price.

So today I went to the mall, to the library, to our local Wegmans and a liquor store looking like this. This should have happened yesterday for Trans Day of Visibility. It felt so good just to be me.

Guess I'll pile on @Lennethas well. Love the look. Next Friday I will have my first hairdresser experience. Haven't cut my hair at all in 2 years.

 

I don't have any pictures of what I'm wearing today, since I'm on day 3 of 4 having to wear non transgender visibility clothing. Depressing, actually.

Well I hope you love it!  And @Elizabeth Star, I took a page from your style book!

It does fame it more!  My stylist did that on purpose and layered the back more.  She did fight to straighten it, but it’s easier to lean into the curls now.  I am much happier!  Thank you!

OMG!! I love them! I wish I could find more cute boots in my size.

[Elizabeth Star]

I literally just threw his together to go visit a friend after work. I stopped at a smoke shop on the way over. As I was walking across the parking lot a random car stopped next to me and woman who was driving said she was obsessed with my outfit.  When I was in the shop the cashier complimented me on my outfit as well. Although I think she may have also been hitting on me.as well. I'm still a little too dense to pick up on these things. Regardless, I got two unsolicited compliments in less then 5 minutes.

That’s great! Remember that you will always be your own worst critic. I promise you won’t miss the Bearded Mask.

@Lenneth @Elizabeth Star Gorgeous boots!  Both of you!!  I've been having a real problem finding shoes in my size...  that I like.

We are indeed!  Thanks I needed the reminder.  All I see is NOSE!...  and brow ridge.   I was however, pleasantly surprised by my chin and jaw line, I hadn't realized how much I was shaping my face with the beard.

That was me too.  It was a big deal to me at the time.

Kept some of the hair to burn from time to time when I feel the need.

See?  You got style!   I got some compliments on my boots, but for just "throwing that together" I'd say you've got a gift.  I love the casual "bad girl" look you have going on there too.  Sort of a "Yeah, I'm cool and I know it" vibe.

Shaving mine off was a big step.  I'd had it since I was a teenager.  I'd shaved it from time to time but more just to see what I looked like without it rather than wanting to get rid of it.  As a teen I looked much younger than I am which was a blow to my ego and problematic when trying to attend certain events.  I grew the beard so people saw me as older.  I remember thinking if I was afab, my breasts would have done that without hair being on my face.  But I got so used to it it became a part of the whole "male" persona.  The battle to keep it off while I try to get more permanent solutions is a hard one, but worth it, I feel.  I'm glad you took the step and I'm totally behind you!

heading out to see a sister trio band called "Joseph". I got this crushed wool "moto" jacket the other day when I went to the consignment shop.  Wearing a mock wrap plunging top underneath. I love it when my hair comes out exactly the way I wanted it. That is not always a given with this mane. lol

You scored top tier on your outfit though! You look amazing!

Spent the day road tripping with my local bestie down the Chesapeake coast to pick up a 20 ft boat trailer with my SUV for him. Wore this outfit plus my cute fleece coat as needed. Got down there and the seller was ultra cool, had some nice questions and we were all talking boats and planes and fun stuff for like an hour. Not uncomfortable at all, even working on the trailer without getting dirty lol.

 

What blew me away, was when I was driving home with the deal closed and in tow my friend told me the story of the deal. He was talking with the guy a couple days prior and said "just so you know, my mechanic friend is transgender. If that offends you I will be willing to call the deal off with no hard feelings. If it does not bother you, then we will see you saturday." The seller responded, "I appreciate your honesty and of course you both are welcome with me. How's about taking the price from $800 down to $600 because I don't want to have to deal with the rednecks that would be inline for it otherwise."

 

That made an already fun day even better 💯

Out at my favorite snack bar in Naha, Okinawa, Japan. The bottles in the back are called, "Keeps." Regular customers--like me!--all have their own bottle. You pour your own drinks, and only pay for the bottle. When I'm lucky, I'm invited to other people's table and can drink from their keep. Actually, that happens a lot. LOL.
