Self Tips

There are plenty of tall girls who aren't supermodels and who look pretty awesome to me.

I don't think your height will negatively affect your transition. If anything, I've heard that estrogen affects the spine curvature in a way that decreases height without affecting posture. I don't know how true that is as the evidence is anecdotal. I think what makes a noticeable difference is possessing a feminine figure and face (like you say you do), so you're already halfway there.

Moreover, what really matters is having confidence enough to consider other people's opinions and just do whatever the hell you want to do and what's best for you (to paraphrase Robert Downey Jr.)

Oh yeah, by reduced height, I mean by 1-2 inches. Not like a whole foot, that'd be peculiar.

Ty c: I have been megadosing lately. I cut all meat out of my diet aswell. I wake up and take 8 1000mg flaxseed oil capsules and down them two at a time with soymilk. then I eat a bowl of soymilk and cereal. at lunch i eat a veggie patty which is mostly soy with veggies followed by 4 more flaxseed caps and then after lunch i starr.drinking barefoot sweet red wine. if i manage to finish all the wine and im not too drunk than i drink beer.

Okay, so... Something else I guess I can ask about here. I've completely shaved my body before, and other than get awful, awful razor burn on my legs where I could barely walk, it worked fine. I've also experimented with waxing and have all kindsa stuff for when I get to that point.

BUT.

One thing I still have a problem with is my facial hair. Immediately after shaving you can still see every dark follicle, even where the skin is totally smooth. I've tried a couple different razors, and several different creams. As far as being a guy goes, I look pretty clean shaven, but I could never, ever pass with my face looking like that.

Help?

Shave with and against the grain of the hair.
Use foundation to cover up the follices.
If it really concerns you then go for laser hair removal, a few sessions (2-3) should be enough to reduce the follicle size and, thus, thickness of hair.

>>955
you can use laser to reduce your facial hair by a lot, if you have the right characteristics. (dark coarse hair and light skin). alternatively you can try shaving really closely and then using a foundation makeup with a red tint to cancel out the "blue" that comes from shaven facial hair.

and for your OP, i'm in the same boat as you kinda. i'm trans but not really in the binary. sometimes i like to pass as a girl, sometimes, as a boy. i take hormones so my body is a more physical representation of what i am, which is more of a tomboyish girl than completely girly, but i am definitely not a boy. if that makes sense...

>>919
There's a recommended dosage somewhere. Start with that and use that. They size pills in various sizes because hormones treat various different things (like menopause, for example). Their size is not for your convenience. Find a dosage and take whatever size/amount of pill you need to get that dosage.

As far as where to look that info up, some of the transgender sights have suggested dosages, or dosages people take. Do what they do.

Also get some blood tests. One after the first week, then month maybe. If you can. Otherwise, keep an eye out for changes in your metabolism and whatnot. Hormones can harm your liver.

>>951

so what? what does it have to do with my point?

>>921
you should always take an estrogen along with an anti androgen.. it might be kind of dangerous to take AA's alone because now you have NO hormones, T or E going in your body which can lead to a loss in bone density among other things..

and for the OP: a typical starting regimen for hormones is 2mg of an estrogen and 100mg of an anti androgen, then raised depending on the results of a blood test for T, E, and FSH. lower starting dosages than that are usually considered conservative

Hey Raven,
i'm happy for you! Best wishes for that new life :)

And for the records, i've finally told my girlfriend about my situation and she's totally ok with it :p
So now we "play dress up" together and that's pretty cool. No HRT and stuff though, but that's not the plan anyway :)

Kisses,
Kat

Thats awesome babe. This is me after 200 days of hormones. :D

>>966
wow awesome :3
love the hair <3

I watch makeup tutorials on youtube for tips. I'd suggest starting with something as simple as the eyebrows, look for an eyebrow shaping guide on youtube (there are plenty). Framing your brows to suit your face makes a noticeable difference and is simple to do.

I would follow what january girl said plus, if you have cash to spare, i would advise you to sit in a mac counter/makeup artist and learn some.

Some of the good products for beginners, i have been told are urban decay and Mac. Also Avene is a good base foundation for all time use , only sold in drugstores in DE. Also I personally prefer bobby brown for a subtle look.

If you want to concentrate on only a few aspects, the as januarygirl said, i would start with eyebrows and eyeliners, followed by camouflage + foundation and cheekbone contourings.

Hope this helps and good luck.

>can afford clothes
>cant afford whoremoans

ebay is a pretty good place to check out for any of these things, pretty cheap and afforable

god damn, make a video next time

well lets just say i was not dressed nor shaved for the occasion

but it is definitely something i will be revisiting, hopefully, in the near future

here's the secrect: take low quality pictures of your asshole

Nothing you can do about "pucker" but you can get the dark ring bleached,,,
Popular among porn stars..
local salon should do it..
having a dick might make it hard ot find a place that will touch you.. if your in a large metro city NY, TO, Cali your better off than in hoboken

I wonder if these people bleached, or used bidets or something.

Oh and one more thing, i forgot to mention, after 9-12 months try to go on a lower dosage of cyperoterone acetate. This how most endo would administer androcur.

25 is not too late. I started at 26 and I turned out just fine. I've got a BF, a B-cup, and don't get harassed when I go in public! :P Seriously, if you're 25 it's time to start dealing with this and determine whether you want to transition, because the longer you put it off the higher your chances of having something happen that may hinder your ability to pass, e.g. hair loss. Good luck to you, and just know that if you go for it, it IS worth it, it DOES get better, and you WILL be a qt!

So yeah, just placed the order after much trepidation.

10-21 days ugggh shipping

Gonna do 100/day for 3 days on androcur, with 2mg estrofem

Try that out for a month, see how I feel, and go from there.

Not busting all kinds of nuts actually keeps the testosterone up according to what I've read before here and there. What probably is going on is that since you're more horny, you're more prone to act feminine because that is what turns you on. It's not really unhealthy. That is your thing, and that's how you do it, but you are pushing it too far. In the wrong direction, that is. Keep laying off masturbating mostly regardless of the reason.

>>855
Its possible that your sex drive is contributing toward your want to be a trap. Abstaining would therefore keep your want to be a trap stable and consistent. If you want that, abstain.

Anal masturbation gives no real release unless you can orgasm with it, which some people can't. If you do end up orgasming, it will probably have the same effect on your desire for femininity that normal masturbation does.

That being said, try it before you decide. Masturbating is healthy, but you don't need it to be healthy.

You don't have to take hormones to feminize your body. There are other things you can do to alter your appearance, laser hair removal being one of them. There are other alternatives that should be explored and undertaken if desired. Please remember that transition isn't just one path that every person strictly follows. Although having HRT does help in feminizing the masculine form.

I use a number of websites to help me out. Here are a few:

The last link redirects you to a yahoo group for self-medicating. Of interest, I've been reading a very good e-book concerning transition, it's especially informative for those considering or just beginning. http://fuxx.us/4dy
Buy the e-book! You'll thank me later <_<

>>952

Thank you so much! I know hormones arent the ONLY way. I feel from the way i look I already have a SOMEWHAT feminine body, and I feel like they might be the best way. I'm certainly buying the e-book. i'm charging my tablet as I type this so I can buy it on my kindel app. I don't know what I could do to ever repay you for any of this <3

You're very welcome! ^_^

When it comes to research, I find the problem isn't so much to do with finding any information as it is with using the right sources. I hope it helps! And yes, if HRT feels like the right step for you then go for it!

Voice work is important!

First, congrats on whoremoans,

>problem is that my confidence in myself and my ability to even crossdress

OP, not all of us were crossdresser before taking mones. if you do not have courage take the andro path. dress androgynously for a couple of months before moving full time.

As for low confidence, I have seen girls become more social and outgoing with hormones and then again i also saw girls who are still socially shy even with hrt. I guess it depends on the individual. But if you want to make a change and go out as yourself soon but scared here are a few tips:

             1. Try getting the help of a close female acquaintance.

           2. Dress androgynously.

        3. try assimilating into local  goth hangouts, those folks usually tolerate everyone.

        4. Hit off to local fetish scene (though i won't advice it if you are looking for full time)

          5. try a bit of camwhoring or, tinychat at some trans/trap  oriented rooms and see how the response goes.

That's a good one OP. Good luck.

alpha male? not surprising, a fraction of mtfs did overcompensation before taking the path. (Not implying you are mtf or anything)

Well a therapist might be able to help you but don't expect miracles to happen. They are humans and prone to presumptions. A trained therapist can provide you pointers but at the end of the day, the decision will be yours to make. A therapist can never decide for you.

Having mentioned that, ask yourself the question what aspect of you alpha male life you hate and also ask what aspect of you alpha male life can you not carry out when you transition.

Finally ask yourself the question, if you want to go all the way or if you are comfortable with being a girl only for a few hours a week.

Hope this helps.

>>913
Thank for your reply
Well,you're totally right,the choice is mine. But since I feel a bit like there's two people in me,it's quite difficult to make this choice!
Crossdressing only few hours a week is out : For now I'm too much built and muscular to do that without feeling ashamed.
If possible,I wanna make a decision before turning 25. So,while I still have time, I really need to focus on that.
Anyway,still taking any useful advice!
