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

getting pretty happy with my makeup / face / hair situation lately [t]http://i.imgur.com/V0EhMDQ.jpg[/t] it took months but i finally figured out how to smooth out my skin and work around the dark & sunken raccoon-lookin eyes that run in the family

[QUOTE=Obvious Shizz;52092305]Had to switch therapists because my last one wasn't qualified to sign any letters or anything like that. New one starts off with "so I understand that you want to have a gender transformation." Slay meeee[/QUOTE] Relevant: [url]https://imgur.com/ivUyxIP[/url]

I'm still a long way from looking feminine, but I decided to buy a sports bra the other day so I can wear white t-shirts again. Mentioned this to my dad, and, unfortunately the dude is still uncomfortable with discussion about anything trans related nearly a year after I came out to him. Last time I needed his support, about 3 months ago, he gave me a "I just wish you would have waited" speech. Despite all this, I keep seeing my face in the mirror and I see myself for the first time in years. For the first time since the middle of high school, I'm happy with what I see. I made the correct decision to seek therapy and treatment.

I'm curious, does hrt effect your hairline in anyway? Just wondering since hrt (as far as I know) does effect the hair itself but I don't know if it does effect the hairline.

Though if it doesn't I could get away with doing my hair different, emo like but better than the recession. Either way it will stop the receding.

MtF hormone treatment can for instance stop male pattern balding, but it won't reverse anything. It's most likely the same with your hairline, if you're already quite old (+25 or something) it probably won't have any real effects.

I combined finasteride and minoxodil with spironolactone and estradiol and it's basically completely restored my hairline and fixed a bald spot. People always say these things without realizing that if their hair loss occurred in the last 5 years, then the follicles are often still alive, but dormant, which is what happened for me. Results will vary but recovery is totally possible. On a side note, I don't think it's possible to change a male hairline to female. I'll always have a subtle widow's peak.

any advice on shoppin for clothes (what kind) all i have are some thigh highs rn i would like to try more im 6'2'' and slim and my legs are silky smooth if that matters (hello!)

get a skater skirt (cus those go with everything, god bless) then get a nice t-shirt or blouse of your choice that you can tuck into the skirt. wear the band of the skirt around your upper waist/just under where the bottom of boobs would be. then you can wear the thigh highs with that and maybe a nice jacket to complete the look and also give the illusion of vertical space (and hide shoulders) you could just buy the skirt and wear it with your existing clothes

thanks! im just about sorted out

Ordered some new glasses today, and I managed to not cave into the pressure to conform. Bought some charming plastic frames in my favorite color- purple! Feeling proud of myself. I also had a rare chance to be alone at home the other day, and practiced my makeup. I'm getting better at not overdoing it, but unfortunately I still have to wear a wig because all the new hair growing in is shorter than my existing hair, giving it a weird look that'll eventually go away. Oh well, here's to brighter days ahead. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Vm6ENLn.jpg[/t]

Hallo. I noticed the link in the OP was borked as astrocomposer had since moved their page to...somewhere. I found an updated version via google magic [url=http://nonbinary-support.tumblr.com/post/109134320938/astrocomposer-this-post-serves-as-an-updated]here[/url], but I'm not sure how often the OP gets updaed in-between threads. Hope this helps!

I'm still turboclown when I practice so its a bit of a kick in the shins, but I'm still trying. [editline]20th April 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Kiwi;52130471]DONE[/QUOTE] Oh, thank you c:

[QUOTE=Clovis;52149071]Okay then I'll just ask nicely. Can you please use thumb tags for the image, it is very big thank you[/QUOTE] i didnt understand what you meant until someone else explained it.

[t]https://i.redd.it/rie6qyrqz5cy.jpg[/t] hit nine months HRT a while ago. finally getting a hang of this whole makeup thing...

Okay, so I've only been on HRT for four and a half months, but my body hair seems to have already stopped growing like it used to. It's not quite like that soft body hair you get pre-puberty, but it's sort of halfway in-between, and it's basically invisible unless it catches the light from the side. I'm going to take that as a good sign with regards to how oestradiol will continue to treat me...

OK, I don't know how much help I can be given here, but I want some advice on how to play things out with family. I live with my grandparents, and I am yet to come out. I've never shown any hints towards my true self to them, I have heard them say some pretty misinformed and hateful things about immigrants and ethnic minorities. I am scared that if I come out, they will hate me and kick me out of their house. If that happens, I'll have nowhere to go. Has anyone else been in this situation, and if so how did you overcome this obstacle?

I'd personally try your best to wait until you're independent enough to support your self, if worst was to come to worst. Otherwise good luck and wish you all the best!

Try planning as if getting kicked out is a certainty. I'd go to /r/asktransgender and ask about resources in your area and information on where you can go if you're kicked out. They just had someone who was trapped in conservative eastern Kentucky relocate to California recently so it's probably not impossible for you to find help. That way, if your grandparents aren't accepting, you'll have a plan in place.

When did you guys realize you are trans? I have questioned my own gender before because I have always felt uncomfortable and ashamed with my body, I always found myself to be ugly and with a stupid body and I'm a really unhappy person so I thought it would e worth asking it. How do I know if I'm trans?

I think I especially started entertaining the idea when I was like 11 or 13, and then puberty was more or less a personalized Hell from which I could never escape.

[QUOTE=The golden;52241230]Being trans means you identify as a gender other than the one you were born with. I always knew, personally, that I never felt like I fit in with all the other boys that I used to hang out with. I felt different and that I wished I didn't look like them or myself. When I started to read about trans people and how they feel and their treatment options... I started to get both anxious and excited. It was like discovering a whole new opening to another life. A chance to leave behind the half-person I was living as. I didn't like how I looked, I didn't like my personality, and I hated the expectations I had of me as a "male". I never ever want to go back to that.[/QUOTE] You just described my life but I'm not sure about that "expectations as male" thing. If I try to project myself in th future I see a boy but a completely different boy. I just wish I would learn to love and understand myself so I could figure out my entire life
