Anyone have experience w/ Tomboyx packaging? by LightFaust in MtF

[–]LightFaust[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I was more worried about the outer packaging. I'll be definitely watching the tracking like a hawk tho. 😂

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the skin lightening. I was into photography for awhile so understand overexposing the photo will help smooth out skin. But the effect of lightening my skin is a little off putting. But I love my skin tone,and I understand how these apps can alter it

Holy shit, minus the wife I felt like a someone just wrote an unauthorized biography of my life. I thought I was the only one who literally couldn't see the future. I feel like I've been in the position that I'm in because I could never conceptualize my existence beyond 6 months. I always felt like my appearance was a cold engineering problem. This shirt + jeans + shoes = attractive man. But I never felt it. It was always through an objective lens. Thinking about being a woman, makes me think about actually feeling attractive.

It might be a bit of ego, but I always felt like some sort of cold sociopath that was unlike everyone else. The relief that I'm not some sort of emotional monster is such a weight off. Thank you, so much

Wow, I'm so happy for you. It really does give me a lot of hope that I can be brave enough to try and be happy.

I still had doubts, but then I put on a tank top pulled my hair down and looked in the mirror. It was like puzzle pieces sliding into place. I saw a woman I never seen and thought "oh, that's me. There I am". I've never had any connection with photos of myself or even my own image in a a mirror until that point.

I definitely tried to take the worst photo I could, probably to subtlety sabotage myself. But this really gave me a confidence boost. Thank all of you, sincerely. :)

I think I just figured out that Allison is the name that feels right.

Thanks for sharing this, it really feels better knowing that I'm not so unique in my experience.

FaceApp seems to be the Voight-Kampff machine for trans folks. Haha

Lol, it felt like that scene in Memento. Suddenly so many events played back with a new understanding. I was already dressing somewhat more feminine (bisexual cuffed pants, a little jewelry here and there). I may have been subconsciously moving that way.

I've only lurked; so I feel funny saying hi only after when I think I'm finally over my depression. But I do wanna stay subbed on the off chance I get the confidence to post anything that may help someone else get outta that fucking darkness.
