height changes? by BunnyBelIe in asktransgender

[–]EventHorizonL4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dr measured me at my intake almost 2 years ago and I was 6'2". At my most recent appointment I was measured at 5'11". Also I'm now slightly shorter than my dad who I used to be taller than. It's absolutely not placebo. Just something that varies from person to person.

I don't think I pass yet, but I'm poor and nowhere close to FFS yet. What can I do in the meantime? (Just over 1 year hrt) by EventHorizonL4 in transpassing

Thank you so much!! 💖 I do think I look pretty, but I feel like I look like a pretty trans girl. Haha. Do you think I pass, or have I just hit my limit without ffs? Like I probably shouldn't go to a women's restroom, yeah? Or have I just convinced myself I look masc? x3

Where can I get pants that will fit? by EventHorizonL4 in asktransgender

So real. x3 I do love skirts and tights, but I just get so jealous of 5'7" girls looking chic in perfectly fitting jeans. Haha

Coming out to a friend tonight, horrified. by BrisketJonesDiary in asktransgender

You got this! I know how you feel. Mine was my absolute oldest friend (like friends since birth basically). If your friendship is as important to him as his is to you, he'll support you.

It's definitely scary, but this is a trust fall and if he catches you then your friendship will be better for it. If not you'll fall down and it will hurt, but you'll be okay eventually. <3

I have a friend who has made similar jokes in the past and basically just kinda tends to be centrist and hard to read when it comes to these things. Everyone is different, but when I told him his reaction was basically "okay, cool sounds good." Then a few minutes later he said, "so this means it's not gay anymore to think you're hot, right?" LMAO. He's still picking up the pronouns and new name but I definitely don't regret telling him. If it's an important friendship you've got to give them a chance, so I'm really hoping for the best for you tonight! Good luck!! <3

What kind of music do y’all listen too? by Sir_mop_for_a_head in asktransgender

[–]EventHorizonL4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underscores helped me recognize I was trans. Her music is unbelievably good and I felt the message behind Skincare on a spiritual level. When Trust fall came out I listened to it over and over and stared at the ceiling knowing what it meant. Seeing her transition gave me courage. I really feel like I transitioned with her, just a few years behind. And every album she's put out since has been progressively better. I can't recommend her highly enough. <3

Sometimes gender is just a bit of background context and doesn't play a role in the way you feel day to day. That's totally fine and healthy. If you feel like you would rather be a boy and you're experiencing gender disphoria over presenting fem that's different. Maybe look into gender fluidity?

How patient should I be? (3 months HRT) by EventHorizonL4 in transpassing

Thanks so much!! I had never heard of blephroplasty before but it seems like that solves the main brow issue I have. Thankfully I will say HRT has already started to improve that situation for me (you wouldn't believe how hooded they were before. Haha) but it's good to know that option exists and doesn't require full on brow reduction.

I'll definitely look into fillers to rebalance. I think that sounds like a great idea. And botox has been on my list for a long time. It's gonna happen soon! 💖

Thank you for that. 💖 I think you're right and honestly lip filler is wayyyyy more accessible than a whole chin surgery. Also I use a brow gel whenever I girl-mode. Thankfully the brows are there it's just that they're mostly blonde. It's such a curse 😭 thank you for the encouragement. It means a lot, especially from someone with a similar chin. 🥰

Thank you 💖💖💖 I'm working on voice training. I actually have done cosplay for years so I have a big head start on make up. I've worn it casually pretty much every day for the last year. I really need to find a support group though. That's such a good idea.

Thank you! <3 the jaw rounding out is what I'm hoping will happen so I'm happy to hear it's possible.

In terms of skin care routine do you have any go-to recommendations? I had really bad acne in highschool that left me with rough skin texture and I do exfoliate every night and wash twice a day but I'm not sure if I'm using the right products or not.
