Crossdressing & Transgender & A̲L̲L̲I̲E̲S̲ Discussion v. Thread Reassignment Surgery - General

[QUOTE=The golden;52520027]Does anyone have any recommendations for a good hand lotion? I've learned very quickly that "non-greasy" is nothing short of an outright lie. Every single one I have tried has left my hands so greasy that I leave streaks on everything I touch, even after a soak-in period. The one brand that I actually liked (Herbacin) changed their formula and it's shit now. I just tried another one today and had to wash my hands after because it felt like I had gunk all over my hands, it was disgusting.[/QUOTE] Its kinda hard to suggest anything due to differences of skin and brand. I like Burt's Bees, but I have some dry, sensitive skin :<

for anyone who feels kind of inadequate or "not trans enough" to hang out in these places but feels drawn to them for whatever reason, remember that you're welcome here and all of us are breaking gender norms to some degree [editline]29th July 2017[/editline] in addition, for anyone who keeps questioning their gender but can't get a straight answer back, that means it's time to experiment

This is a long shot. But Is there anyone here that is in Texas and has been able to get on HRT? I'm trying to figure out my next steps to get HRT without needing to go to a therapist.

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;52520163]and speaking of hair, who has any good tips for fighting dandruff?[/QUOTE] [t]http://horobox.co.uk/u/reag/2017-07-30_22-22-26.png[/t] Not even joking when I'm recommending this, its expensive but you don't need a lot and one wash will leave you free for around a week, its stupidly good. Other than the next suggestion is cutting on sugar and other shit that can increase the forming of flakes.

My hair just...does whatever. It grows out and kinda..stops. It's not fair :cry:

Hey, is there any good EU store with socks, tights? I know one, Sock Dreams but this one is located in US.

i called hrt place and they said they would call me back next week and it seems to be really cheap gonna sell some stuff on letgo or something just incase.

gods watching me because this shit went into overdrive out of nowhere [t]http://i.imgur.com/Y3Yf1Vc.jpg[/t]

[B]AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH[/B] [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/246460001961377806/342036474109362177/Capture.PNG[/t] [sp]I'm really worried that like, I've run out of luck and a barrel is going to fall on my head. Killing me instantly. Or my doctor's gonna be like: "ya, sorry nerd, you can't get hormones because you have [MEDICAL ISSUES]" or something, even though I think I'm pretty healthy[/sp] [sp]I've just been really lucky thus far and I'm so happy everything's worked out exactly not how I thought it was going to. I was expecting to be forced to undergo the "real life test" or whatever it's called for a year before even being considered for hrt. My therapist is mega rad and I love her for not giving me a bunch of crap and all around being super helpful in figuring all this jazz out. Honestly though, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH[/sp]

So good news is that except for one roadblock I essentially got a hrt letter The one roadblock is need financial stability to get the letter Aka get a job and I’m ready. 2nd appointment when I get a job and I’m ready to pump some e Completely understandable tbh

I should start HRT soon given that by gender diversity laws it's free here. The only thing bothering me is that I want laser but I think I'll have to wait for that.

I'd cut him out of my life so quickly, his head would fucking spin. That's just downright disrespectful :s

I think I told my therapist I identify as female on like mid/late 2012, haven't started HRT yet... Hoping I'll be given the go for it on this year's side still.

i posted here saying how i was nervous about coming out to my dad a couple weeks ago and i did and i have an appointment to see my doctor this week to potentially start HRT =DDDD

Anyone that lives in the states: how much is a name change? My girlfriends birthday is coming up soon and I'd like to surprise her by finally having her name changed, which is something she's complained about a lot since i first met her

Tell her "fuck the neighbors, my mental health is more important than protecting your ego"

Not entirely sure if there's many FtM guys on here, but if you're one of them, you might find this useful: [url]http://supremecarlos.net/post/163938652042/patchworkheart-purrrcatory-shear-lockcombs[/url] [t]http://68.media.tumblr.com/92bf67ee46975191570249fe6a002acd/tumblr_nhhw1szTII1rj3i3vo1_400.jpg[/t] [t]http://68.media.tumblr.com/6d3509d7e7abcdacf34d50f8da655452/tumblr_nhhw1szTII1rj3i3vo7_400.jpg[/t] I didn't want to make this post super long, so I omitted most of the images that were in the link from this post. If y'all don't mind, though, I can include them.

So what do you do about your prominent brow ridge, sharp jaw line, and small pelvis?

[QUOTE=Clovis;52576751]Well, I'm kind of really bored of hiding this sort of stuff. It may be a surprise to some of you but only really my online friends, mom and my sister know about my girl stuff (apart from a few work friends, but theyre female and understanding, i ask them for some makeup advice and stuff but theyre young/female so theyre pretty much accepting by default) - and while its great I get a lot of time at home to be who I want to be, I'm still hiding it on the outside. I was really confident with myself whenever I look at myself but then I feel like its a bit of a lie and that its only when i get a good angle or something that I look great, and its made me want to get on board HRT sooner rather than later. But I kinda need to come out as I do it, otherwise i'd be hiding breasts and stuff to people until its too obvious then i'd have to explain then I really don't know how to go about my job with it however. I really want to keep my job. It pays great, and there would be lots of accepting people there. But theres so many damn people there that I just feel the chance of running into some sort of trouble is so high. I feel like I'd always be walking out of a room with people making jokes about me, which I can sort of handle to a degree but I really hate the idea of making other people uncomfortable, even if its not really my fault about something I did. I also feel like it's bound to happen if I don't appear 100% female like i want to. I just feel like hiding away until hrt/ipl and everything is done (as in all the major first phases of HRT are complete) and then coming back out and starting life as female, applying for jobs all over again as my true self, but before then I'd be in limbo, I'd feel so embarrassed to work and do anything with people just knowing so many people who cross me are just thinking 'oh this weirdo'. I know thats not really the case and its a temporary thing, even so, but idk... it still hurts me Sorry this post was a bit long but I feel really stuck now.. I really want to come out soon cause I feel like if I don't i'm just constantly hiding this and I really want to break the shell, start HRT and explain to my good personal friends whats happening so they dont get so confused when I start turning real feminine before their eyes. I'm just sick of taking off my makeup and changing my clothes whenever I leave the house cause I feel too embarrassed to go out. I'm more scared of seeing people that I already know, not because I want to hide it from the people i'd see in particular, but cause i'd have to explain to them whats going on, then they would tell someone I havent told, who would then ask why I didnt tell them... etc etc etc. I just hate that feeling[/QUOTE] I don't have a good answer to this. Coming out in general is just not fun. The best advice I can give you is to focus on yourself. Explaining it to other people and caring what they think might seem like it matters, and it does to some extent, but really you have to think of yourself first and foremost, and the further you can distance yourself from other people and what they think or know of you, in non practical matters at least, the easier it'll be for you. If you do plan on coming out, talk to people who know and ask for their support and talk your concerns through with them. Having support can make things so much better. Don't know if this of any help. I doubt I can change the feeling you get just from this post, but really, your own happiness comes before what anyone else thinks. Also I don't know if anyone has any experience with this, but you could also try to ease yourself into it, just doing small things that you feel comfortable with. Although I could see that having problems of it's own.

I'm asking in advance, what's a way to deal with beard shadow until I can get laser?

[QUOTE=lol user;52579156]I'm asking in advance, what's a way to deal with beard shadow until I can get laser?[/QUOTE] Learn to shave against the grain without cutting yourself. When you've got it smooth, use a concealer palette to apply orange, counteracting the bluish hue of the shadow. Then use foundation on top of it.

i've never cut myself once since shaving everywhere but i suppose my hair is still delicate enough to do that
