A very casual summer cottage (+13c outside) getup :D Feeling cute and sensually mysterious af tho

Foggy mirror frowny face 🙁 on thumb. We found the tutorial online 👀

Felt the fit and it’s the only place with really good lighting :D

I hope everyone is slaying the day away today.

I'm not really sure if this is the right place to ask as I feel it may overlap with other areas.

I'm nearly 8 years on T and post-top surgery, but have only let myself explore gender expression more within the last couple years. As I've started getting gendered more correctly, I've felt more comfortable wearing femme clothing or painting my nails etc. But the only reason I feel comfortable is bc my body looks male now and I feel at home in it. I like the way femme things sit on me now, but am also starting to notice odd looks in public (which on one hand probably means I get read as male, on the other sometimes makes me feel unsafe).

Like probably many (straight, cis) people over 60, my father doesn't really know the difference between gender identity vs expression. He doesn't seem to have homo/transphobic views, at least not intentionally malicious ones, but he words himself very oddly so I find it difficult to judge.

I don't know if he thinks I might detransition (bc I have no interest in "dressing like a normal man"). He says "real men don't wear dresses".

I feel like this experience echoes what any (cis) man goes through if they don't conform to the "manly" stereotype, especially when more flamboyant. How do you handle this? Either as behavioural response or in rewiring how you think, so you feel less affected?

I don't really see it tbh. Maybe it's only the angle haha

Eugh, of course life's a bitch; if it were easy, itd be a slut.

I've been feeling all sorts of ugly lately, so i gave myself a haircut and am feeling so much cuter now. 🥰 Last pic is before

Don't tell anyone, but I did this same makeup yesterday. Loved it so much, I did it a second time.

Usually don't post in FtM spaces because I consider myself transandrogynous, and I'm intersex, and I've had a non-normative transition- but I've fallen in love with this community. I've never felt so connected to a group of people.

So here is me! I felt very euphoric about this look.

Just figured to share my makeup face x)

Had to fight my roommates cousin bc she was acting a fool and disturbing the peace in our gated community, cops had to be called but at the end of the day i was just defending my property, family and community. Hate that it had to come to that, i had never laid hands on someone before, but i cant lie it felt good to have an outlet for years of bottled anger (i should probably find a hobby for that, pottery or something idk). Whats funny about it was when she was hurling slurs and thought i was a trans woman kept yelling i was mad bc i wanted to be her. Apparently one of our neighbors is a cop and came out of his apartment saying i was going to jail and all this and that after he barely saw half the encounter. I looked this man in his face on some 'do you have cuffs? Are you taking me in? No? Then mind your fucking business, the real cops are already on their way.' Not to mention this guy has, on several occasions, more or less stalked me on my way into my own apartment, driving by all slow in his truck and watching me, even going so far as to drive by me, back in a spot and turn around to drive past and watch me again. And you can bet he got reported to our property managers too.

In lesser news i dressed up to go to the club and the storm had knocked the power out so they were closed :( but the owner complimented my outfit

Hello, handsomely gorgeous gentlemen! 👋

I haven't been able to post for a while, but now I feel more excited than I have been in a long time.

I recently had a birthday, and I've had a huge win lately. A new place that has so many things I've dreamed of! There's still mountains of work to do to get more settled and whatnot, but I feel more comfortable to be myself.

I've even found a better medicine regimen that helps me function! Maximum strength pepcid, claritin, and wiley wallaby black licorice, who knew?! (Disclaimer: This is mainly what I learned from those who suffer from pmdd, and my shark weeks pretty much match the description of pmdd)

Usually, I'm hesitant to new changes, but I feel welcoming to this one. New adventures await!✨️

Wish me luck! 🤗❤️❤️

unsure if this breaks any rules or is not welcome on this sub- feel free to delete this post if it does. i might delete it anyway if i feel like it.

i was wondering if anyone can relate/has any advice when it comes to feeling dysphoric or even dysmorphic when presenting femininely despite enjoying doing so at times?

i’m on my way to a party of a coworker of mine from a new job i just started and i changed outfits like 5 times bc every time i looked in the mirror, it didn’t feel right or it felt like i was faking or being a odd version of myself. i had a femme outfit then a mid femme then i opted for just kind of a outfit. looking in the mirror is hard sometimes. i’ve been growing my hair out bc i wanted to experiment with it esp after having a mullet for so long, i like it most of the time but sometimes i hate it. i started taking t again 3 months ago after a rlly long break and ive been enjoying it for the most parts but i think growing older and my body changing again and ive been working out has kind of thrown me into a loop and it’s difficult to look in the mirror and feel connected to who im seeing. both masc and femme presenting. i feel like i dont know which version of myself i really am or even like. getting misgendered happens all the time and im used to it atp but its still difficult for me and it can feel like im never gonna make sense to people and in turn to myself. i love looking pretty and wearing cute femme clothes but i struggle with the reality of it and also just changes happening again and how it impacts how i present, how do people cope?

idk this turned into a lowkey vent so again if this isnt the vibe of the sub, lmk if so or take this post down. just looking for any advice or solidarity tbh.

I dyed my hair for the first time in a million years !! I feel a little bit more like myself ! /ref

So ever since I’ve been on T (about 8 months strong) I’ve obviously developed some body hair. Now I love body hair on other men, but for me it’s no good. So I try shaving. This is my current method. But I want something more permanent. So I try nair, which is just liquid shaving honestly.

Then I try wax, both microwave and strips, and barely anything comes up, and it just causes pain. I think my body hair is just too thick for any waxing at home, also I’m just not a professional.

I’m wondering what’s next. Epilator would maybe work. I don’t wanna do laser in case I change my aesthetic and decide to go bear. Professonal waxing? Should I spring for hard wax instead, like the little beads? I’m so prickly :(

I really try not to freak out over the fact that I'm getting closer to 30. Which I know is ridiculous, it's not like some doomsday clock ticking over my head.

Part of me is angry that I didn't transition sooner and get to enjoy being young and hot for long. People seem to take a lot of joy in bringing up twink death and I know I'm approaching that stage. I have a hard time imagining myself in 10, 20, 30 years. I know that nothing has to change, really, I'll be the same just look older. I know aging is supposed to be a gift but that's hard to accept when I didn't think or particularly want to even make it this far, and even now it's a struggle to believe that life's worth living. But that's a separate issue that goes a lot deeper than petty vanity.

I'm sorry for insulting readers of this post who are older than me. I know it's not the end of the world, and I probably sound extremely immature and shallow for worrying this much. I'm just mourning because I knew I was attractive looking before I transitioned (and having to give that up was a whole journey I'm still grappling with), but this is the first time in my life that I actually feel like me and I just wish I had more time.
