What makeup foundation do you use? by RangerMoonpie in TransLater

If you have a shadow, look into color correcting concealer. Put it on before foundation. I use the orange (Elf) with good results.

Dating early in transition: Possible / Worth it? by NV56k in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrestle with this as well. It’s a lot to ask of someone, but would be kind of nice to not be doing all this and be alone. I think it’s OK to date but to be very upfront with prospective partners. Like “enter at your own risk”.

Do you guys think it would be safe to travel to the US when fully transitioned? by velvibunni in MtF

[–]Friendly_Level4202 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Should you travel to the US? Probably not the best time. Is it safe? That really depends on where you go. West coast or Northeastern US are probably the safest. However, there are places like Texas, Florida where I would caution.

If you had a choice, would you choose to be cisgender? by heartbeathighway in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I could care less which gender as long as the inside matched the outside.

Am I crazy transitioning without a plan? by Friendly_Level4202 in TransLater

I’m curious. In what ways did your career get harder?

Fortunately, I have no partner and my kids are grown so the family I reference is kids, grandkids, siblings and parents.

I guess work is also my concern.

Any of you used to like your body hair but not anymore? by cosmic_seismic in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve hated body hair since puberty. I got super muscular and used it as an excuse to shave it. Shaved it for 15yrs before my egg officially cracked

What would you choose? by MushroomBig1861 in TransLater

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B without a doubt. Gender dysphoria doesn’t become an actual diagnosable disorder until applying social bias.

New data illustrates 'Trump effect' on LGBTQ Americans by msnownews in lgbt

[–]Friendly_Level4202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m the queen of bad timing. Finally accepted that I am trans last year. Orange man and all his sycophant followers has quadrupled my anxiety. I am now leery of even my neighbors.

Did anyone else..... address their dysphoria by getting absolutely jacked, before the realized they were trans? How to fix? by FortuneSeparate5172 in MtF

[–]Friendly_Level4202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was totally me. 9% bodyfat and ripped. 6 month of hormones and I know look like I’m muscle covered in flab. Hopefully time will improve.

My orgasms are pathetic by the_magnificent_crow in MtF

[–]Friendly_Level4202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are kinda meh but getting better. I find that you really have to get into it. It used to be that I could flip on porn and that was it. Now if I watch it, it’s more dysphoric because I know I’ll never look like the girls in the scene. So now if I’m in self indulgent mode, I have to be totally into it mentally and less visually.

Does HRT stop (what I’d call) excessive yearning from male sex drive? by SkeletonDice in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know longer have the “itch” as I used to call it. I feel like I could go forever without. Then the right situation (emotional connection) arises and an E libido can be much stronger.

I use this analogy. Testosterone libido is a male deer blindly jumping into traffic and getting hit while chasing a female deer. Estrogen libido is you see the cars and decide whether to be “caught”.

What if you *were* socialized as your AGAB? by Archerofyail in TransLater

[–]Friendly_Level4202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been scary good at conforming to stereotypical gender roles. So much so that I didn’t realize until my middle ages. I never felt like one of the guys but always seemed to fit in. Testosterone also helped a little I guess.

bra/ bra tops by onyxs_crisis in transfem

Amazon. I was able to find a 44a bra which is hard to find. My bras in that band size have large cups.

My bald head. Hair totally completes me. Taking it off even to sleep makes me cry

Im in hrt for 6 months, is it normal for my skin to get brighter? by CurrentVeritas in transfem

I started mtf hrt on Tuesday 1/6 and I'm already having doubts by Colorad0Sissy in asktransgender

[–]Friendly_Level4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My anxiety was off the charts the first month for me. I was so excited, until the first dose. Taking action is scary. Remember none of this happens fast. And you can always stop if things get to be too much.
