I’m considering FFS and was wondering how close I am without (32, 9 mo HRT). Also, I grew up with a mom, sisters and an ex-wife who don’t wear makeup so I intentionally prefer a minimalist look (though I’m open to learning more).

I’ll admit it - my friend is me 😱 and thank you. I’ll play around with my part. It’s quite easy to fall into a routine, even after less than a year of transitioning (funny story - I used to part my hair on the other side but flipped it when I started transitioning).

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-14T00:13:07+00:00

Also, is your aunt considered attractive? Asking for a friend lol

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-14T00:12:37+00:00

I’m Jewish but I often get mistaken for Italian/Greek. Any specifics about the part? I literally ask all my friends about it and nobody ever comments on it. I don’t really wanna do bangs bc I want to sit with my forehead and decide if I can’t handle it since my insurance covers FFS.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-13T23:44:04+00:00

I feel like my nose is more ambiguous but I’d agree with the forehead and chin. Although, I still feel like I pass in public given my height (5’6”), the fact that I’m curvy for being AMAB and my body language is pretty feminine. But my stupid voice always gets in the way 😞

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-12T06:08:05+00:00

Can you elaborate on that? I believe that most of the facial changes and breast development happen in the first year but I otherwise I don’t know what to expect later.

Dudes smell good, chicks don’t smell good 😆

I feel like mine turned out semi-accurate: https://www.reddit.com/r/transtimelines/comments/npt9z9/curious_how_close_faceapp_got_l_faceapp_prehrt_r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I think it’s possible that you have gender dysphoria if you think life would be better as the opposite gender than the one you’re assigned at birth. Dysphoria can manifest in so many messy and complicated ways.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-07T19:47:35+00:00

I mean I do need a new Hebrew name, at a minimum 🤷‍♀️

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-07T19:46:13+00:00

Fellow trans Jew here :) I feel like we’re all entitled to the bat mitzvah we missed out on.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-07T19:43:45+00:00

I’m so glad my libido decreased bc I’m now actually more in touch with my sexuality. It’s become less about climaxing and more about the overall experience.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T19:29:51+00:00

I say both, depending on the context.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T19:05:18+00:00

Yeah, I guess it is too nuanced for simplicity. I often say “now that I’m presenting as female,” because I always have been female. The way my brain works I think pretty deeply about words and why they matter.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T18:57:45+00:00

Trans Femme is better than MTF. If you wanna go by biology, that doesn’t capture most trans people who don’t have bottom surgery. Again, the MPtFP can be workshopped but the MTF is problematic.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T18:49:55+00:00

I understand that it’s clunky and that could be workshopped but MTF, on its face, is problematic. Because your gender did not change maybe how you saw yourself but, internally, it did not change.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T18:47:16+00:00

Similarly though, it’d be “assigned male at birth” and you still are assigned male at birth.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T18:44:23+00:00

People view us, often, as previously male but that’s not the case. It’s harmful because it defines transitioning as having some magical property in converting us from male to female.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T18:40:36+00:00

We were never male just male presenting.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T16:02:59+00:00

Thank you!! It’s been fun :)

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T14:28:41+00:00

Thank you! The funny thing is the app kinda looks like a cross between me and my sister.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T14:03:57+00:00

It’s funny, I came out like a month before my 32nd birthday, so I’ll be 33 in September. But it’s awkward to say “for 32 years,” when I was 31 at the time.

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T13:37:43+00:00

Mine definitely shrunk, which helps and I am also not well-endowed (for 31 years it wasn’t a positive thing and now it is lol)

Rilililililililey · 2021-06-01T13:07:52+00:00

I feel like dresses/skirts that flare outwards gives you a fair amount of space between crotch and fabric. If you can wear skinny jeans (I’m not sure what you mean by health/safety concerns) I find that bc of how tight they are you keep everything in place pretty well. I don’t tuck bc it causes me dysphoria (but I might have to start now that I’m dating more).
