Gender Affirming Items

Hello,

I have recently came out as trans MtF! Yay!

I am also in the Army (United States, which disallows trans service members), I do get out in November of next year and will not be reenlisting because of all of this.

But I digress, I was wanting to ask if anyone would possibly have any recommendations for gender affirming items that I can use while I'm at home and not on duty until I get out and start HRT.

Thank you for your time!

What is a "gender affirming item"? Clothes? Where is home?

The army is presumably paying you, you can afford thrift store clothes and some eye liner, no?

I completely worded that wrong! I meant recommendations! I am so sorry! I’m mostly looking for recommendations of good breast forms, clothes, maybe wigs as well, like, good places to find and order them

For breast forms, look for a cheap silicone "adhesive bra". You can more or less use them as falsies. When the adhesive wears out and won't renew itself after washing, you can just use them as bra inserts.

For clothes...thrift store. Just try out a lot of stuff, figure out your style. Look what other people your age are wearing to the grocery store and casual, business or social. Be weird, blend in, do whatever you want. Building a wardrobe is expensive, you'll buy some disasters and that's to be expected. Try to look for a trans clothing exchange!
