  • personally I socially transitioned 2 years or so before starting hrt, ive been on it since November, if you want to look at pictures before then as an example of what you can do without it. i didn’t pass for a good year or more, but it slowly gets better as you learn how to dress for your body and do makeup and all that. hrt helps, but it won’t do all the work for you, so don’t expect it to!

    edit: to clarify I mean passing in terms of seeing a woman in the mirror, I am not good at reading reactions and I also dont really care what others think so no advice there


  • I’d say starting hrt (once you’re more sure of who you are) is up there for most important things to do, the effects are life changing and any extra time you can be away from testosterone the better

    past that, shave your body and paint your nails. learn makeup if you like and just be ready for a long journey. transition is a marathon, not a sprint!

    proud of you for coming out, the hardest person to come to terms with is yourself
























  • electric razors are amazing for intimate areas and trimming the bulk of the hairs for sure. i always go over my legs once with it before using a razor, and I don’t use the razor on sensitive places

    it takes a few goes to stop getting the strawberry legs, keep at it and itll be okay :) make sure to use hot water and moisturize after, lotion helps a ton early on

    now I’m able to just hit it with my razor and electric shaver but I also used shaving cream too before I got used to it so that’s worth a try!
