warning im often times not good at expressing what im trying to say into words.... and today is one of those days.....

 

im a bit of a dork/nerd in many respects..... i love learning/working on/playing with computers (more so on the hardware side of them), psychology heavily intrigues me and i find myself learning and mapping out peoples personality/traits (whether i meant to or not)..... and while on the topic, i feel its important to say that often times i may say or do something that comes off like im fishing for compliments or biding for attention, but the honest truth is, im not, what is actually happening is im trying to get input from you or whoever so that i can TRY and get an idea of how others perceive and see me. one thing i want more than anything is to be able to be seen as and "pass" for lack of a better word, but my low self esteem and self worth is something that i have issues with seeing past. so i often ask people if any certain pics i have, stand out as really femme looking to them and what it is that makes it that way so that i can try and see those traits as they  do, and just the same i ask if there are any certain things in any of the pics that straight up and quickly give me away, so i can acknowledge those flaws with goals in mind of trying to eliminate them, effectively trying to get myself to a level of self esteem where i feel like i could possibly be maybe thought i was female. so please dont think im just some attn -lovely person- as where i could see how it could easily be mistaken for that.  im really big into fashion (as most are on here are im assuming). im also a huge lover of music (punk and metal) and as well i play guitar. the last big thing about me is im a HUGE anime fangirl.

To varying degrees. I think it's more of a, "Help me find out what looks good on me," than a fashionista thing... despite what people keep telling me. I like looking good though so maybe they're on to something. I have to dress down for work though and with COVID... most of the time I dress like a lesbian on laundry day. Lots of t-shirts, jeans and flannel.

Most of our members are creatives in some way or another, be it art, music or writing. Not that many of them are metalheads though. Personally, I'm into all-girl metal bands (and girl-bands in general) but I may be an outlier. ?

The anime is more of a personal taste. I've been into anime since the 80's (I have a bunch of pirate bootlegs, VHS, etc... from the dark ages), but not everybody feels the same. That's a little weird. I mean Ranma exists. How can you be MtF and not into Ranma?

 

Hugs!

I do think you pass however but remember looking hot, which you do, makes everyone look at you much more closely.  My wife taught me to dress down a bit and as i look around i see the vast majority of women don't dress "hot".  It is easier to pass looking casually beautiful which you can certainly pull off.

^ This.   Often people tend to hyper sexualize/feminize in fashion and makeup at first. I mean, really, who doesn't want to be hot but as someone transitioning it does bring extra scrutiny.  You have a feminine facial structure- congrats! Great eyes, high cheekbones  and a slim,angular jawline/chin. Your biggest challenge for passing will be 5 o'clock shadow from having a dark beard which requires a lot of makeup to cover.  What you save from not having to do any facial feminization surgery you could spend on hair removal so that you wouldn't need makeup or at worst, lighter makeup.

If you have low self esteem and low self worth, it won't be helped by seeking external validation like this from others. I have enjoyed my transition much more when I stopped worrying about passing and stopped posting selfies everywhere. Some things just can't be changed without surgery and that's not something I want to do. Otherwise, I think you look fine, despite not passing in any of your photos. Consider that most of us, even on HRT, will not pass, especially when looked at by certain angles, which is why there exists what I call the "trans selfie" -  looking down with the head turned, with lots of filtering and makeup.

a few more good anime with crossdressing are "I, my me strawberry eggs", "is this a zombie" and "bake and test summon the beasts"...

Oh, I'd completely forgotten the "magical girl crossdressing" thing in Is This Zombie? That was a surprisingly fun watch.

      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

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
