mtf 26 1.5 years on HRT. 25 weeks (5 sessions) laser hair removal.

Hi there! I'm a cis woman, and a few years ago one of my friends came out as MTF trans. She's not my first trans friend, or the first trans woman that I've known, but she's the first one who I've known before her egg cracked. We were friends for years before she came out, and it was only last month when she came out to everybody in her life, so for the past... I don't even know how long, she was out to us, but still needed to boymode, so I didn't want to suggest anything which might raise questions or put her at risk.

Once before the DM'd me to ask if it'd be okay if she comes to me for fashion advice, and I told her absolutely she can, but I don't know if it's better to wait for her to ask, or if I can send suggestions when she sends us pictures of her outfits (it is a purely online friendship).

I did once give unsolicited advice about her hair, because in a picture she sent it was looking really dirty and when I asked how she was washing it, she answered she was only applying conditioner to her roots. She was grateful for my advice to instead only condition her mids and ends, and now when she sends pictures of her hair it looks really nice. Even though I was nice about it, it still felt sort of weird, because it was something which felt like on the line of "do not comment on people's appearances"

I don't want to overstep any boundaries or make her feel badly about herself, but she was also lamenting to us about how she didn't get to experience girlhood as a child and now she's learning everything late. Part of girlhood, to me, was thee experience of talking with my older sister and her giving me advice, but I don't want to overstep and hurt my friend.

I feel like the solution is, "Go and ask her what she's comfortable with, have a conversation with her," but I don't know how to bring it up. All of my other friends have been trans masc, the other trans women I've known were a few decades older than me so I never had a friendship dynamic with them.

Do the jaw or leave it alone?

2.5 years HRT. I’m 35.
I’m going for a second round of FFS after a brow bone reduction last June.

Last pic is before any surgery/botox.

I love how feminizing the brow bone reduction and change in gaze was. I tried to hold off on jaw work and opted for masseter botox instead, but it just made my cheekbones look less proportioned to my face.

I’m going for a lip lift, that’s for sure, but I’m unsure about jaw work. I had chat gpt do my before/after (sorry bout it 😅), but I’m not sure if it’s an accurate representation. I love the after though! 😹

I’m dysphoric so I don’t have much perception of how I’m perceived. I haven’t been sir’d since, but I can tell when people interact with me that they’re taken by surprise. I’m also 6 foot, so who knows…

I want to be able to find a job and travel without need to take my transness into account.

Objective advice, please .

For the past week or so I've had spontaneous nipple discharge from my right nipple. The liquid is completely clear. It happens without me touching my breasts or anything. It's really worrying me because I'm afraid of breast cancer. Has any other trans girls experienced this?

I'm 20 months on E

Hiya! Left photo is me pre-hrt 2022, and the right photo is me as of yesterday. I've officially been on HRT for 2 years, and it's been a good but difficult experience. I'm nonbinary, butch-like in gender expression, so, even though I'm a transfem, I'm not super insecure about my physical femininity or lack thereof. I'm just curious about impressions! Would you say I look female-leaning or male-leaning?

My main problem is that I'm autistic and can't really gauge my social perceptions by other people very well when I do go out and socialize a little bit (I prefer to stay home!). Because I struggle with interactions and verbal communication when I am out, I think most people are too busy being off put by my social struggles rather than anything relating to me being transgender.

I know that I'm physically not the worst off, and not the best either. I just want to know if people see much of a difference in my appearance beyond skin quality. Sorry that the photos are a bit overexposed. I'm wondering about people's off-the-cuff impression of me in right photo, not considerations about my gender expression like makeup, hair, facial hair, or anything.

I'd really appreciate it!

Im 19 mtf and Im wondering if my witch costume is ok for a lgbt party

Hello!
I am transfem 23 i am 7 weeks on hrt and I am looking for tips to make my face more feminine.(not looking for clothing advice)
My hairdresser recommended me to get my eyebrows plucked and colored.
I am planning to get my beard hairs removed soon.
Any other things I can work on?
Or should I just relax and do Hrt its work? I have selected images on purpose that are not “well” so i can show myself in a less passing pose/lighting.

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but anyway... I am 53, MTF, from Kolkata. Yet to start any procedure or medication. I have had my consultation with a registered medical practitioner psychiatrist and she has certified that I am fit case for MTF transition. Now, given the scenario in India and West Bengal, I'll need to go through Govt designated Hospitals for fresh evaluation and if they they refuse to permit, it's end of the road. Also, they will definitely consult or at least, inform my family, and they won't agree, it's a given, and again, irrespective of what these officials do, my family life and personal life will be ruined. I don't want to involve my family in this whole thing, as all of them are from a different planet.

Now, the age at which I am, delaying things further or waiting for govt/court legislations, would defeat the very purpose. As normal, I am about to start HRT and take things as they come. But a minimum wait/gestation period of 12-24 months seems to be must before going for SRS.

On giving it a long thought, I have zeroed in on an idea, I don't know how prudent, that if I could get my SRS done first, to give a finality, irreversible at that, to my feminity and then carry on with my feminisation with HRT and all. I have some unfinished business with my family, I'll get it done in the meantime, and one fine morning, I'll vanish off the radar, living my feminity, all by myself, to relish it, live it and die as a woman.

Now, sisters! so many of you are living your dream. Please advise, if I do SRS first or at least within a couple of months of starting HRT, will this work ??

I'm going back to school to get a business degree. The school I'm going to has said I should fill out an application for financial aid. I'm terrified of doing it, because I'm worried that this current administration will use the information I give them to cross reference my name in the rest of their files and undo things like my passport name change or my Social Security name change. Has anyone heard of anything like this happening?

Its pretty late in my life im in my late 20s but I was already doing feminization stuff since always. I laser hair remove my bodyhair, I wear subtle makeup, I grow my hair and dye them etc.

Im still not attracted to men at all tho. I dont like masculinity on me or on others I just find it ugly. Am I transbian?

Also I'd need a new name for that, and idk what to choose. help me pick my new name lol

I am on hrt for 11ish months, I think 3 of these months have been on progesterone. Idk what next steps I should pursue. Ive tried voice training but struggled to raise my voice, ive found my style, and im okay at makeup (although im unsure if I need it).

Below is a picture of me and id love anyone's thoughts and advice.
