RS > ME any day. I’m doing stoneblock 4 right now, which doesn’t have RS, and they’ve added dark mode to this version of AE, which is nice

The best bang for you buck makeup to feminize the face, at least for me, has been just eyeliner and mascara. Unfortunately, my eyesight is so bad, I have a focal range of ~70-150 mm and anything outside that is a blob, so doing my own eyeliner is nearly impossible until I can get some contacts 😠. I still tend to get called sir at stores/restaurants, but when I look in the mirror it’s a hell of a lot easier to see a girl even with just mascara.

My boss’ daughter is a movie MUA and when he mentioned that I had come out as trans, she got very excited to teach me how to do my makeup. The biggest things I took away were not to ignore colour correction, and eyeliner is pretty easy to do with dark eyeshadow and a fine brush if your eyes actually work lol 😋

That saw blade is on backwards

I was scared it was red flag girl until i read the other comments! Yayyy!

If you want the feminine figure fast, I got shapewear with hip pads and silicone breast forms because I’m an impatient little freak. 😜 The hip pads definitely help with a curvier shape and support a tuck really well, and I have found breast forms make my incredibly broad shoulders basically a non issue. If those are things that make you experience dysphoria, those are options if you need a crutch.

A friend of mine also uses a henson razor, and I got to try it out (with my own blade) a little while ago. Miles better than a cheap safety razor, but not really better than the cheap dollar store venus razors I normally use. Not sure if it’s simply because I wasn’t used to it or not tho.

First off, I didn’t see anyone link the gender dysphoria bible in the comments, and it was absolutely massive for me to read. Linkie

As someone who just cracked her egg a few months ago, I can tell you talking to my wife was the biggest aid for me to figure out what I wanted. A lot of your experience aligns pretty closely to mine, so you’re not alone there. My wife also thought she was bi, but without telling me, determined she was straight because only male me turned her on, but after I worked out that I was trans, she had to rethink her own sexuality and realized she’s actually demi, because the idea of me as a woman still turns her on and nobody else does. I won’t lie, it was a rough week for us, especially seeing as we’re coming up on 10 years being together, and we’re eachother’s only adult relationship, so the possibility of our marriage ending was terrifying, and seemed like it might happen. Coming out was the most anxiety enducing experience of my 31 years on this planet, but I would do it again in an instant if I had to.

Miraculously, my wife and I wear the same size clothes despite a full foot difference in height, so she got me to try her clothes, which really helped cement in my mind that I wanted to dress feminine.

I’m not on e yet, just spiro, so no boob as of yet 😭 so I went online and got silicone breast forms and I’ll tell you, going from no boobs to needing a bra to support D’s (which, if my mom and sister are any indication, I should end up in that realm🤞) without the slow ramp up in weight to strengthen the muscles you use regularly to hold youself upright has been rough. I wanted my bra off pretty regularly, but I can’t take it off without going back to no boobs. Less of a hug and more like a waiter for me lol. You have to have the awkward small talk, but they bring you food!

I got silicone breast prosthetics a few weeks ago, and at this point, I only take them off to shower and get changed. I wore them to work (trades) for the first time this week. They make for a sizeable amd definitely noticeable difference, but people either didn’t notice it, or asked if I felt better with them, which I 100% do. Right now, I’m sitting in my car, inexplicably exhausted, getting really annoyed by how they are either pulling on my bra straps or on my chest and feeling glad I can still take my boobs off when I get home 😆

I realized I might be trans about two months ago, and I told my cis wife who previously thought she was bi, but at that point, I thought she was straight the next day. We spent about a week talking about it on and off while she helped me figure myself out and eventually came to the conclusion that I am. There were another few tear filled days while she was forced to reconsider her sexuality. We have been married for 3 years and together for 10 and are extremely close and in love, but we weren’t sure if this would break us. She eventually decided she loves me regardless of if I’m a man or woman and has been helping me with how to girl since. Recently, she was talking to a friend of ours who is ace, and she realized she might be demi because she loves sex and life in general with me, who she has a deep connection with, but she was just there for the ride with anyone else she’s slept with. Our outlook is good, I’m into women, especially her, and she’s into me, so we’ll see where things go.

I am in a state of absolute shock. I can’t believe there are people who hate pointlessly in this world /s

I’ll take a look at that brand! Thanks!

The trick of wearing the front of the gaff lower than I expected seems to have done what I needed! I thought ordered a hipster gaff, but it appears I got something closer to a slingshot🤦‍♀️I was intending to return it if I didn’t like it after trying it on for a minute, but because of my hyperfixation, it’s been wedged up my ass for days, so I guess I have a really minimal gaff now!😅

I’m pretty sure I’m good on that front lol

I was this close 🤏 to going out to costco tonight tucked in my gaff and a pair of my wife’s bike shorts, but I was too nervous about a ball popping out and being rather obvious and chickened out

Done, done, and done, just not in that order

YAAAAAAY! Congrats!

I wanted to propose to my wife for maybe 3 years before I did, but finances were a big problem for us. Eventually, I just said fuck it and got the nicest ring I could afford and proposed the same day it arrived. If you both want to get married, the time is right. You probably won’t get a mystical sign from the universe that the time is come. Good luck! ❤️
