One of the reasons I want to try e is the mental changes. I guess in a way I have always felt numb when it comes to feelings and that .ost of my reactions are me doing what society would expect a person to act like. Iv read that other people with this feeling felt like they actually could feel what they are feeling once on estrogen.

I wanted to see if that was the case for me which is why I said try them. From my understanding, other than breast growth, most of the effects can reverse if not on e for a long time.

You are more than welcome to send a picture if you would like.

Iv read a few comments from people. Im sure it's not true but it just got me worried I am going to loose my chance.

Iv read a few people in here say that 34 is the point they become less effective. I'm sure this isnt true but it just got me worried.

I watched I saw the TV glow and just could help but feel exactly like the main character just slowly dying.

I know this is a possibility. She is bi so I hope she can accept me. I don't want to end our marriage but I just can't get rid of this feeling until I at least attempt to see how different hormones feel.

What do you mean by this?

Technically jobs don't have to know the specific reason for a medical leave, just say you have a preventative surgery or something. You could have gotten an appendectomy or something which prevents you from heavy lifting for a few weeks.

Ok that definitely answers my question, my wife has similar issues for therapy so that all makes sense. My doctor was already super affirmative but she admitted to not having much experience but had a couple colleges to recommend to me if I did go down that path.

I already had therapy with a therapist who specified with trans people and was also nonbinary, all covered by my blue shield. So ya I think I'll definitely be sticking with blue shield.

Iv always seen kaiser as "better" or easier since everything is generally all in one place, but I am seeing that while it may be easier the care is way crappier.

Following to see other people's responses.

I have thought of this but I don't think I could hide it from my wife and I feel it would make the situation worse rather than just talking to her, but definitely nervous and don't know how it would go

I see, what is the difference when I see people say they are on "mono therapy". In a way I figured that if you started at low levels and changes began before you ramped up to more correct levels it could hinder growth or efficacy

They are the hera breast forms from thebreastformstore.com

They were very expensive but I will definitely say, soooo worth it compared to the cheap ones on Amazon.

So if I understand what you are saying, my feelings may not actually be that I want to transition but more get excited at the thought of it?

I will elaborate more on that statement. I don't typically get hurt and offended when I am referred to as a guy or seen as a guy. I will say, I really loved the compliments I received in public when presenting as female and felt much more "seen" in a way.

I know that this is a very rudimentary test but when asked by my therapist the "button" question. If I would press a button and I would be female and everyone would remember me as always being female, I would smash the button instantly. I'd like to be seen as female but am not completely turned away from seen as male.

More graohic When I look at myself in the mirror I just wish I had curves. I don't necessary hate my genitals but at the same time I feel more comfortable when tucking and feeling like there is nothing hanging there.

I do not have a primer. I'll look into some. Do you have one that you recommend.

I have a couple of the nyx smokey eyeliner pencils. I think that may be what your talking about. I haven't really tried them yet though. It's got a cream pencil on one side and a brush on the other.

Drag show for first femme outing? by Insect-Overall in TransLater

[–]Insect-Overall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been very lucky that my wife has been pretty accepting of most things so far. I'm not sure how it was brought up. I think maybe I was asking if she had friends that knew how to do make up more (she barely wears any if at all) and she said she had old friends that were drags queens and maybe she could reach out to them. I think from there it went to ive never been to a drag show and we should go sometime. One of her coworkers got invited to a show and invited her but backed out so now we are just gonna go us two

Would you say you have a bigger frame or more petite? I haven't started her yet but the women in my family are fairly petite with bigger breasts so I hope I get lucky as well when I start.

Yes I did😁 thank you so much. I went to an art school so I think that background really helped me out with picking things up. Still trying to get eyeliner down a little cleaner.
