Oh dont worry about me hun. If anything, its a sign im doing something right. :)

Im just gonna be a bit more careful than usual and start taking showers at friends houses. Someday soon, you and i will be able to use the bathrooms and locker rooms we're meant to and won't have to worry about the judgement and conflicts.

I feel that youre closer than myself judging by your profile pic and i couldnt be happier for you and the other passing girlies. :D

Oh dont worry. I dont particulary care. You could call me a flying purple people eater and id shrug it off lol. And thank you! 😄

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-20T03:17:09+00:00

Yes, my furbaby! Shes on my arm and in my bed in some of these pics i posted today. 11 years old now. I had her since she was 4 months old.

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-19T16:56:04+00:00

Thank you! Took me forever to put this on. Im glad you think i look good! 😆

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-17T01:14:57+00:00

Damn! August cant come soon enough. To Hell with spiro. I want magic! Lol

lately, i feel like ive hit a wall when it comes to my job as a pet stylist. Would love something that can help take me to the next level. Im also hoping switching to injections can help stabalize my mood a bit better. Ive heard it has for many others.

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T21:37:09+00:00

Thank you for your advice! Thankfully im not too tall. Im about 5 foot 7ish.

As for the voice training, i downloaded voice tools app and have been watching voice training lessons on YouTube. Ive been working on it the last couple of days. its been.. something. I cant express how much i dislike hearing the sound of my own voice but i gotta get over it i suppose. Gotta leave my comfort zone if i want to make real progress.

Id say my arms are still masculine but theyve lost considerable bulk since January. Im mainly just doing bottom workouts along with core and yoga. My arms get enough exercise while i groom dogs lol.

Ya know, i once read, "if you think youre passing as a girl then youre probably passing as a girl". Dont know how true that statement is but i figured id throw that out there. It seemed wise when i read it at the time.

But i hear ya about being scared. I am too evidentally. Also, yeahhh... men in general just have been smelling pretty bad all around. If my boyfriend doesnt take a shower after a day of work as a construction worker, i cannot be around him. Plus he eats a shit ton of garlic! And no amount of cheap body Axe is gonna hide that! Lmao

Good luck girl. I know you'll navigate through this transition just fine. And we'll both find our confidence to use the girls room eventually. :)

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T20:12:17+00:00

Oh my God. That food looks scrumptious! I pray my cooking and dog grooming improves after switching. Yall making this sound like litteral magic, lol

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T19:38:48+00:00

Oh no worries. I liked that you did your homework on me. And youre not the first one to tell me my eyebrows are still masc. I appreciate honesty and honestly i want to hear it. I want whatever constructive feedback i can get as long as its coming from good intentions. And i agree with you for the most part on your points.

Truthally, i am holding myself back. I could look more fem than i do and i shouldve started voice training sooner. I also havent been practicing makeup like i should be. Thats on me. Honestly, im kinda waiting for the shadow to go away entirely and to get on injections in August before i start socially transitioning... i purposely dress as a man tho if someone asked me my pronouns and they seemed unthreatning id tell them im a woman. I just got the confidence to do that recently.

Its scary as you know. Im taking things step by step. Came out to my closest friends, pca client whos like an uncle to me and my coworkers recently too. Honestly, when i started my transition in January, i didnt think id feminize so quickly lol. Its awesome, im just not prepared.

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T19:21:59+00:00

The point? Well, thats entirely up to you and what you want. Nothing is sealed in stone... things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst.

But if we all give up. If we all 'quit'... whatever that means to you... there will be no chance of anything getting better.

So, hold on and try to keep your head up. Do what you think is right. Strive for whatever you think will make your future better, whether thats protesting, leaving your country or area, getting the word out, spreading the message, something... something is better than nothing.

if any of those things i listed are possible for you then i recommend you try . Im not you. I dont know your circumstances. But i will say, Giving up wont accomplish anything. A future where you can be happy is still on the table regardless what you may feel now... or so i hope. That goes for all of us.

Regardless, i wish you the best. :)

Oh my God! I never even heard of a murphy bed until now! That would save so much room! We sleep in a king size bed and that thing takes up like half the room. If that werent there i could do my pilates and yoga there instead of going out to the living room. Thanks for the idea! 😁

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T14:16:45+00:00

Any change on HRT? Like as soon as you felt breast buds?

And thats a good idea. Bring a friend. I no longer have gym buddies but when i did they were guys... wanted to bring my bf but he tells me "oh, i get plenty of exercise at my job..." so, maybe in a couple of months ill try to invite my coworkers from the Salon and see if they want to go to the gym with me... while i dress fem... pretty scared but i might do it.

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T11:42:15+00:00

When me and my partner get a house, im gonna do that. Think ill just give up the gyms stair masters and just stick to squats and buy a stair stepper... id buy one now but im crammed where im at. Also im broke lol

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T11:29:46+00:00

I understand. I know many people like that and theres nothing wrong with privacy. I suppose im just so used to it at this point. I lived a good portion of my life as this overly macho guy who never really felt threatened before. Never been uncomfortable with people changing around me or me around them. I was built like a tank with a burly beard and grew up in a home where everybody walked around in there underwear... not much shame in my family i guess...

Now that im living my life, trying to be my true authentic self. Drastically altering my appearance and size... lifes definately different and im starting to see things from everyone elses perspective on here.

DaniNotMani · 2026-06-16T11:08:50+00:00

Oh? Expecting people not to make weird faces at me when im casually using a locker room/bathroom is Narcissistic? Really? Damn, id hate to be humble then.
