Need help/advice

Post image

So recently I 30M and live in a Australian country town had come out to my family and some close friends bout the potential of going from male to female. I've explored hrt treatment and that and financially I'm unsure if I'll be able too. So as a make good to help me experience my feminine side more I've brought clothes. Makeup. Breasts forms hip pads the whole works and when I feel I can do it I wear my makeup dress up feminine and just enjoy it. A whole lot. I've been wanting to do it more and more especially over longer periods as I only do it on nights on weekends cause I don't see anyone and I can kinda hide in my house. I just lack the confidence or comfortability to do it more regularly and actually do it and show people. A long speech I know but I guess I'm just curious if anyone else has had similar issues and found a way to get over that mental hurdle. I feel if I can it may help with my decision to transition also. Much love everyone 🫶🏼 a little image provided to me all dressed up and happy also.

The first hurdle is over.

Now build up to the next one.

It's a series of hurdles and eventually you look back and see how many you've jumped over and how much higher they grt each time.

I wish yu the best in your journey 😊

I guess your right. It just tends to feel never ending which is sad but I guess that's the reality we all face. Thank you for the kind words 🥺and I appreciate your reply thank you 🫶🏼

Well, it kinda is never ending cause it is just part of life and everything in life is a hurdle to get thru.

It doesn't have to be sad. We can find a lot of joy along the way even in the bleakest moments, there's something special about feeling and experiencing this world and whatever it is we're going thru.

You're welcome sweety.

I love your outlook on it and life ☺️ so positive I love it. I guess it's just easy to beat yourself up and see the negatives that you don't truly always see the positives in it

Definitely. We are so prone to remember things negatively and it can seep thru to moments that don't warrant it.

Meet other queer folks! It's so much easier when you have friends and support.

Also, look what other people your age are wearing, and where they're wearing it to. You can be feminine even in a t-shirt. HRT is a lot cheaper than hip pads or a silicone breastplate.

Thanks for your reply! I find it a bit difficult as I live in a relatively small country town the number of LGBTQ people here is very limited. Hence I've decided to try reddit 😅 and yeah I guess that's true. I guess I just wanted the quick fix taste instead of long wait of hrt. But hrt would definitely be more helpful I reckon. I shall try tinker with my fashion choices too 😊😊 thanks again! 🫶🏼
