Pre HRT, give me some advice!

A simple post as I'm new and extremely anxiety prone. This is me, the only thing  I have changed is the length of my hair (digital wig). How do you think HRT will effect me and do I have a chance of passing? Much love ❤️

Tone the eye make-up down (wrong color for the hair -- ) and you will do fine in my estimation.

You'll be fine. Look at all the disparate sizes and shapes of the women around you. It's all good.

 

Vicky's right about the eye makeup though. It could definitely match your hair better. Or you could just dye your hair black and go goth. Whatever you think is the best fit.

 

Hugs!

Hi Holly!  Welcome and nice to meet you!
Well, I am the last transfeminine person here who should give makeup advice.  As I have told others before, after I try to put on eye makeup it looks like I've been in a bar fight ?


But, being new on this Forum you will find lots of great posts, advice and experience about your questions on HRT (I haven't started HRT yet, but I am convinced now it will likely help my dysphoria/anxiety issues).  Also, gender therapy is another common recommendation.

We are all here to support each other and have the same goal ... to be happy❣️

I think you will pass easily but perhaps i'd suggest looking at other women's makeup (not in magazines).  Most do little or no makeup beyond lipstick or a bit of powder.  When i was first going out i over did it but time has made me realize less is often better.

 

Hugs,

Ok, I tried another one with the digital wig but otherwise just natural makeup. I'm sensitive but I want people to be critical, things are so overwhelming at the moment and I'm genuinely after opinions. Much love ❤️

@Holly92 Due to your younger age and current feminine looks and with some nicely done makeup, proper feminine movements and gestures, and a real wig, you could easily pass as you are right now without HRT.  With HRT it’s almost a no brainer.  Voice does add an additional dimension and is needed if you want to pull it off completely. It wouldn’t take you long to blend with just a little effort and time.

Put on a shirt girl! This isn't that kind of site!

 

You look fine. I've seen cis women that look less like a woman than you do while I'm out running errands. With a little makeup, you could be a knockout.

 

Hugs!

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
