My new look.

Recommended Posts

Guys how do I look. Am I passable? I just bought my first wig and went to the store yesterday. Would anyone know that I'm a trans woman? Yesterday was the very first time going out in public wearing makeup, I thing getting a wig has given me courage. Anyway, I need a honest opinion on how I look. I wasn't nervous being out in public at all. It was like an ordinary trip. That I am most shocked about. I thought I would have butterflies flying around in my belly making me feel just a bit sick, but nope, I felt like it was normal. Anyway, what do you guys think. Passable or not.

You are looking good! Look forward to the day when you can go round the mart without wearing a mask to hide your beauty.

OMG, thank you all. I was worried about being "clocked", but I thought about it and I really don't care about those people that have a problem with the girl I am. I honestly think I look cute, I just wish I could do my makeup better. But that will come in time. Yesterday I decided that I was going to let my brother see me wearing makeup, but mom decided to prepair him for the shock, so she told him this was the new me. And trust me he was shocked. Now that he knows, that was my last hurdle that I needed to get over to living full time. Well I need more clothing, I only have 1 dress ordered, so for now it's part time.

 

Oh, and mom who said I would make an ugly woman saw me with the wig and makeup on and I asked her her opinion, she said she had seen worse and I asked her if I was ugly and she said no. I think she knew she was wrong and that I am very passable as a woman. I think I have her slowly coming to my side. Oh and on the 16th I get to see an endocrinologist for HRT. I'm so excited. I figure that the hormones will help make my face even prettier. OMG I can't wait, I'm finally going to start my womanhood. I am woman, hear me roar!

 

Thanks Tracy_J, Susan R, Bri2020, KayC, and ElizabethStar. You girls are the ones I get my strength from. Love you All!

I'm so excited for everything that's coming up in my life. :)

After the positive response I got here from the girls here I decided to tell a long time guy friend of mine. I was worried about what he wouldn't be as open as the girls were here. Turns out I was wrong and boy I am glad I was wrong. Even his wife was great, she even went as far as telling me I was really hot. Hearing her say I was hot made me a bit weak in the knees. I've never heard anyone say that about me before. I can't wait until I'm ready to start dating. Hello World, it's Holly and I'm finally ready to be noticed and I'm ready for my first real  relationship.

Thank you KayC. Having people that are supportive is one of the greatest things in the world when you go through what we all are or have went through. I love this site because of the people. Hugs Holly!

OMG Girls, I'm just dying right now. I was out today at the doctors office minding my own business when I happen to over hear two ladies talking and I happen to hear one of the ladies say to the other one she had to say something to the lady. That's when she came over to ME and said she liked my hair. I told her thank you. The women at my doctors office said they saw me but didn't know who I was. I can't wait to get my cloths in the mail. Going to be amazing to complete the part. lol.  I don't know whats greater about today, that I passed or that someone actually liked my hair. OMG I'm in heaven right now. I guess that answers my question as to if I'm passable or not. I'm dying right now!!!

 

Oh I one of those tela-call things with an endocrinologist on the 3rd. I'm excited to start HRT. As passable as I think I am, I think HRT will only help me look more feminine. Well I hope they will. lol

 

Thank you Lexi C, Hugs Sister. Love Holly!

This is not me asking for compliments, this is me stating facts. I look so damn cute today. I bought a new pink headband and a pair of gold hoops. And the neighbor asked my mom who the new girl is and is she single. Broke his heart to find out I wasn't interested. A girl has to be single for a bit longer until I get to be a woman playing the field.. lol

I agree with  @ElizabethStar ...it all looks very nice on you. You look happy and confident and that’s half the battle right there.

 

Keep experimenting and trying new things and you’ll continue to find what works for you and what doesn’t. You’re doing really well.

 

My Best,

@HollyNoel, You are an inspiration, girl. Your confidence has you glowing. I liked the idea someone else shared a while back about going to goodwill and getting a bunch of stuff to test out and then taking whatever doesn't seem like your style back. Then doing it all over again. It's inexpensive compared to how I did things. I just bought everything new except for a few things. That was ok since I already had been planning my style for a really long time. My mistakes were sizing issues. I just kept everything and figured I'll gift the stuff or lose enough weight to fit them eventually. Most likely they will be gifts.:D

Thank you Abi. I want to be an inspiration so that I can help others. Everyone here is an inspiration for me, they help me when I can't see my therapist. I don't know about buying from goodwill, the goodwills here are touchy about returning things. If I were to buy from goodwill, if it didn't work then I would just resonate back the the goodwill. Might as well donate and help our community.

Yeah they don't do returns too often. I spent 20 dollars and got like five things. Four out of five worked out well enough. I can just donate the one I didn't want when I go in for more and I'm still money ahead in my book. We all have our preferences of course. I know how difficult it can be to find things I like at goodwill but when I went to my goodwill I found the most awesome comfy pajama bottoms ever. They were worth the twenty I spent alone.

Abi, I go to all the thrift stores in the area, I can't find stuff too often that fits me. Right now I'm looking for shoes that fit. At the moment they are the illusive item in my closet. I really don't want to have to buy new, not with a new pair of cute strappy sandals or heels costing upward of $50-$100. Lord let me find some good shoes in my size of a woman's 13. lol

Link to comment

I feel you on the shoes Holly. I have literally no chance of finding decent looking shoes. I found some neutral high tops at journeys but nothing feminine. I have heard there are shops that make ladies shoes in my size but I have not looked at prices. I assume they are not cheap. If they look good and feel good then that makes all the difference.

Yeah Abi, I think I need a size 13, but mom thinks I can get away with a size 12. Whatever the size, I want something cute and comfortable. I know, I need a genie! I get the feeling that it's going to be one or the other. lol

 

Hugs Holly!

Clarks and Naturalizer and David Tate make larger sizes. You should be able to find wedges and block heels or flats.  Mary Janes and tall heels are bit challenging at those sizes.  https://www.dsw.com/en/us/browse/David+Tate/N-1z128t5Z1z128t1

Hit up DSW if there's one near you and go to the clearance section.  I've found lots of nice and or cute ones in size 12

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍
    • Susan R
      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷
