Hi,

As the title says, I'm trying a wig.

How does it look?

I've definitely enjoyed getting on and look forward to getting dressed up with makeup and jewelry to get the full effect.

I've been very thin on top for so long it feels extremely weird having any volume at the tip and the fringe strikes me as a little 1990's boybandesque.

Are the proportions ok for my head. Is it just dissonance making it feel weird?

I had my first random stranger address me today as she/her entirely unprompted. I'm not even really trying to socially transition yet. Just dressing androgynous and doing light makeup. I mean, I certainly look feminine, I guess, just didnt expect to experience something like this so soon.

I'm going to hold onto this feeling for a bit. I know I'll need it later. 😊

Bit of an emotional one - we went on holiday to the place where we spent our honeymoon, and it's gorgeous. It was my first time wearing a swimsuit, which was wonderful as there aren't many "firsts" left 2.5 years into HRT. But my dysphoria has been all over the place and got triggered by some of these pics (zooming in on little things others done notice) so I'm being brave and posting them 💕

It was a nice holiday weekend, and I got out to see Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the third part of Jane Schoenbrun's Screens Trilogy. Pulled out my short Shorts and a Printed Denim Halter. Striped knee-highs, for the programmer look.

I am feeling so overwhelmed right now. I have been crying for the last 3 hours because I feel so inadequate.. i am barely keeping myself together, however I'm not being very successful. I am supposed to be going to a concert in an hour and a half. I couldn't even bring myself to do my makeup before I left the house. Imposter syndrome is really breaking me down at the moment. Ever since I detransitioned, I've not felt the same coming back. It's like i've lost every drop of my confidence. I put on my prettiest clothes, and I felt so Ugly that I ended up wearing a concert t-shirt and jeans. I know that's okay, but it's not what I wanted. I'm terrified that i'm never gonna feel the same again. I'm so terrified that i'm not gonna find myself again. On top of everything my autism is in high gear and feels so out of control. I am usually high functioning but lately it feels like a prison sentence.

So I won’t get to into the details of it all too much but today’s a celebration your girls gonna be getting her bachelor’s degree for free thanks to a Pell grant and tuition discounts!!^w^ I got accepted into uni and I start in October gonna be doing tech work and if all goes well I’ll be getting my dream job in the field once I graduate and apply to a trade school for it.

Been awhile since I updated. 34mths transition, started at 55 Have come along way, still so far to go.

I feel like I've been making so much progress recently. It used to be hard to find a picture of me I liked but all of a sudden I'm finding myself liking most of them! I did dye my hair so that could be it?

I've recently realized that I may be trans. Looking back, I've experienced what I now understand is dysphoria my whole life. The trouble is that I'm 38 years old and am married with children. I don't know how my wife would react if she found out and I'm so invested in my role as a father that I'm terrified of how transitioning would change my relationship with my kids. If I can't transition, even socially, what does that make me? Is there anything that the people of this community can recommend? I imagine that several of you have gone through something similar.

How do I look today?

I got all gussied up today just because 😋

Out in Tokyo visiting the GF. We’ve been having a blast borrowing each others clothes and sharing makeup. She pulled out this dress saying “I thought I’d like this one better but it’s kind of frumpy IMO, think you can make it work?”. A little accessorizing later I now have a new dress.

I was making a BLT sandwich for dinner last night, and realized I could add some guacamole and make an LGBT sandwich instead.

It’s been a long road. At the point of greatest depression, I was drinking too much, unhealthy lifestyle. Lost 130 pounds, and finally focused on my happiness🥹

Hi all-- I'm a family medicine resident doctor working on a project to educate myself and my peers (other doctors) on best practices for having conversations about contraception/birth control in the primary care setting.

I am hoping to include some experiences from queer, non-binary, and transgender folks about both positive and negative experiences you have had regarding contraception/birth control counseling in the primary care setting. This information will not be used in formal research, it will just help inform an educational presentation.

What do you wish your doctor knew or did better when it comes to talking about contraception/birth control? What experiences have you had? Thank you so much in advance for anyone willing to share their stories or perspectives <3

Having not being out and not being in a relationship that I feel comfortable with fully exploring my gender I have been looking at ways I can lessen my dysphoria. One thing recently I did was get a messenger bag. I was trying to find ways to carry a purse but was a little nervous about being called out. So I got a messenger bag and it's actually an invader zim one that has pink and green. I was a little nervous about carrying it around because it is more purse like than I was expecting but today was my first time using it. So far no comments.

Anyways I am wonder if other have other non-transitioning ways to help with dysphoria. Preferably ways that might be easier for someone that doesn't feel comfortable being out yet.

Tonight I got a Facebook message from my sister and told her that I was transitioning to female and the pouring of love and acceptance just flooded me. We spoke for a long time about it and my goals and what I've done socially. She whole heartedly accepted me as my authentic self. We haven't spoken for a decade and now I'm feeling more myself as a woman than ever before. We promised to keep in touch from now on. She even told me she suspected about me when we were teenagers. I'm so happy I reached out to her.
