older woman who is colorblind checking in here. sorry if its all a color mismatch. this was the only Halloween wig I could afford because I am very bald. 😭 but I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn’t stop smiling. 😁 i love all of you!!!
i took my first dose of estradiol valerate and spironolactone this morning. i have unfortunately had a spike in blood pressure but i’m monitoring it.
You look great! Looking forward to more pictures and seeing your smile grow 😊.
Thank you I still can’t stop smiling and I only just noticed I managed to be so excitable that I uploaded the only photo I’m not smiling in lmao
Gentle does not depend on your looks.
Gentle depends on what Linux distro you are using.
Love the dress, nails, and envy your tolerance for wigs! You look great! ❤️
If I can handle this crummy wig, I can’t wait to have an actual quality human hair wig, honestly.
Have you ever tried one? They’re hot and itchy. But if you can tolerate it, try a lace front.
When your money’s right: https://govihair.com/what-is-a-lace-front-wig/
has good, basic information. Good luck!
Lace front was already my goal, but I don’t mind things being on my head for the most part. Thanks for the link though! More information is always welcome!
You’re welcome!
If you’re ever wanting to match colors to something in the future, and you’re okay with physically going into stores, you can bring the item and ask a sales person to help you. I worked in an accessory store ages ago, but my favorite task customers gave me was building a look around an item.
I love that silhouette on you, and I’m a little jealous of the freedom you gave with wigs :) Grats on your first doses!
I wish wigs felt like freedom, but I understand from my own experiences with my own hair when I still had it when I was young, sometimes it doesn’t matter what you want to do with it, there’s just no making it look how you want without having a different type of hair entirely, thickness, tensile strength, curliness, color all impact how hair is able to be styled.
Anyway, thank you for the tip on going in to stores. I don’t live too far from more open minded areas, so I might be able to do that when I visit the west side of the state sometime.
It’s a good look!
I’m just glad to finally have a dress and shoes to wear around my place and feel like myself in 😭
thank you so much for the compliment, everyone here is always so kind.
I love that dress!!! Awesome floral pattern.
You got this, grats on day one!!

clothing has two primary purposes: the functional purpose (keeping you warm/dry), and the “does this clothing make me happy” purpose. sounds like you found a perfect outfit!
Yes I did, thank you!
very specific, but i like your toe nails in combination with the dress, being both a very comfortable blue :]
I do love blues and I think it’s the color I look best in because of my blue eyes! thank you for noticing! I’m still so bad at painting my nails lol
you are very good at painting ur nails in the way you do it.
when i started painting my nails i completely disregarded how it looked, it was just a simple point of focus where i spent 20 minutes just doing one slow brush stroke after the other.
now 5 years later my nails obv look better, but i still mostly enjoy just taking the time to just do my nails.
I do find doing my nails pretty relaxing and kind of a zen experience, for sure! Thank you!!
You look great! I think the hot pink really suits you. Thank you for including us in your journey, I hope the blood pressure thing resolves quickly.
Thanks so much!
The great news is I am just a dingus who was using my blood pressure cuff wrong. Went to a welk-in clinic. Nurses tested twice and I was fine, just having a panic attack thinking I wasn’t. So, it’s resolved because it wasn’t actually a think hooray! lol
That’s great I’m relieved to see that you’re ok!
You’re killing it! 🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations and I’m glad you’re here! :)
Thank you I am so happy to be here!
You look amazing! Welcome to the community :3
Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I’ve been here on blahaj for years on a different account, but now I’m really here. 😭
Do you girl!
will do!
The hair and shoes look great con you! And the color of the dress is very pretty :D.
Holy shit, another colorblind trans girl?!
There are dozens of us!!! Dozens!!!
If I can become a Lucille Bluth or a Maeby Funke, I’ll have achieved everything I’ve ever dreamed of.
Nice fit. The glare on the floor makes it look like you’re floating lol
Thank goodness for ugly 70s tiling! Thank you!
