[QUOTE=Blaberry;39548238]Wore a skirt to school today. Some people I've never talked to laughed at me and I got and made some snide comments. Other than that, no difference except for less dysphoria. The illness cured with a skirt, wasn't it? :v:[/QUOTE] I wish I had the guts to do that. But my school's full of assholes...

What people think doesn't bother me in the slightest. I walked past those laughing girls with my smile as genuine as ever, because even [i]if[/i] they laughed straight at me, I'm not going to let them affect what I do or wear. They're humans just like me. They're not important. In fact, they don't matter at all. If you gonna wear skirts you gotta be tough. :v:
I crossdressed to school for Halloween my senior year. :v:

The therapists is going well, for now they have begun to talk about crossdressing and the such now that the cognitive behavioral therapy has begun to work.
[QUOTE=Neat!;39555443]you're cool can i be your friend[/QUOTE] Any day.
Just to sate my curiosity, how many people here are currently transitioning and taking medication? (rate agree if you are)

I'm living full time as a girl now, I live in the female dorms and I get a private room.
[QUOTE=mmmono;39555817]Godamn, I wish I had your confidence. I worry about everything and could never do something like that. What she said.[/QUOTE] I don't really know where my confidence came from, I was bullied into an emotional wasteland during a six year period and when I recovered I found I wasn't bothered emotionally by judgemental people at all. I suppose it's quite handy. [editline]12th February 2013[/editline] And you can be my friend too if you want c:

I don't think I could ever be confident enough to do that.
Sure you can, if you're bullied into a dark enough place that all you have room for is hate, you'll find that these "decomposing bags of calcium and shit" that you hate so much and what they think isn't really worth even noting anymore. From there I think I realised I didn't need any sort of approval, I mean there was no one I respected to gain it from. [sp]Saying that feels like when people ask me what I do to lose weight and I say depression and starvation[/sp] :v: [editline]12th February 2013[/editline] But really whoever it is that you're afraid is going to judge you, let them, they're just minor bumps on the road of doing what you want to. They aren't you, and if they judge you they aren't even real friends; don't let them hold any sway over you or what you want to become. I dislike speaking for anyone but myself, but there's almost always someone in here to talk to if you need someone to do that with.
You guys are all too awesome. On a side note, I've forgotten how to enable post ratings. I miss seeing hearts and medals around. ;o; On another side note, I want to a meet on Saturday-just-gone, and I was called adorable. I feel so bad for not talking. Fucking anxiety problems. :c

"Those that care don't matter, and those that matter don't care".
[QUOTE=J. Jett;39551739]How many sessions are there supposed to be?[/QUOTE] It depends on many factors; how much hair you have, your DHT levels, how coarse it is and the contrast of skin tone to hair tone. For me it was about nine - but you have to have them at least a month apart so its manageable cost anyway.
[QUOTE=Pudding~;39549529]Facial hair won't be impacted by pills at all, but laser is pretty amazing.[/QUOTE] that is actually 100% false, you have never been more wrong in your life, your entire life is uphill from here [editline]12th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=mmmono;39550543]About how much is laser hair removal?[/QUOTE] It depends on where you get it and how much hair there is. Anywhere but the face is cheaper than the face. If you have stubborn hair it will take several sessions over time, if it's very light it might just be one or twice for safe measure.
Estrogen does not at all impact male pattern facial hair, sweetie. As it doesn't impact male pattern baldness. Nor do ordinary anti androgens ~ tho the latter is able to be mitigated with a DHT inhibitor. There's no need to be so brazen, FYI.
I want to hug everyone of you peoples.
Does anyone know of a good way to feel less dysphoria that isn't crossdressing or applying makeup? It's not that I have any problems doing either of those, it's just hard to do in an all-male household. [sp]also hi everybody[/sp]

[QUOTE=Neat!;39546973]holy fuck these whore moans make me look 12 but if i get adams apple reduction surgery and "facial feminization" surgery will i look ~le femme~ and be able to pass? or will the hormones make my face fully ladylike [t]http://i.imgur.com/vtRus8N.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Omg this probably sounds creepy as fuck every time I say it because I hardly talk to you but stop bein so cute~
[QUOTE=biodude94566;39560278]I thought estro or anti-andro were a common ingredient in anti-balding stuffs?[/QUOTE] The only really documented way to reverse make pattern baldness is to reduce DHT. And even that isn't a promise of reversal; just a possibility of halting.
How many people taking hormones have also informed a doctor or therapist of what they are taking and of the dosages involved? (I heard that some people self-med so I am unsure on the figures)
I'll get my first call from a psych tomorrow. [sub]weeeeeeeee[/sub]
any of you girls have any fashion advice? my therapist wants to talk to my mom about actually getting me clothes, because right now whenever we go out i end up feeling like crap, because she just says "we cant find stuff for you, you have a really masculine body" or "yknow sam your penis makes it difficult to find pants" the only things i really feel good wearing are my 2 pairs of girl's skinny jeans and my cat hoodie i wanna wear a skirt when it warms up and i want some good tops bluh blurg im sorry idunno what im on about
All you really need to wear skirts during the winter are thicker tights/leggings. I have problems with a masculine upper body and hands and so on, what I can tell you is that shirts look good in combination with skirts (see they're almost homophones), even if they're not particularly feminine, and they'll still fit your upper body. Oh and knitwear combats thick/masculine arms, but they might make your shoulders look bigger due to hanging so loose. Once it heats up and I get some feminine upper body shape I think I'll wear some tight linens and open, pastel shirts on top for myself. Maybe you'd want to try that?

Besides, what would they say if their completely kickass older sibling turned out to be some weirdo! (I mean that's what they might think.) Or they might be totes cool with it. I don't know!
