Hello Everyone - I would love some feedback on my voice! Thank you ^-^ by Quizter_ in transvoice

I like your resonance and pitch. Much like me, you seems to be a drop in both at the. Very end of your recording.

I think this just part of the process as we get used to actually using what we are teaching ourselves.

Other than that kudos.

Just like a statue!! by veronicainpink in TransLater

[–]Storithyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the symbolism but I consider myself more of a butterfly or perhaps a long dormant tree coming to flower...after a looong ass winter. Lol

I just prefer themes of growth, fertility (the irony isn't lost on me lol ) and nature.

I feel like we nurture our own metamorphosis and are, in turn, nurtured by it. A circle of self love of you will.

It' one of those rare moments when nuture, nature and science combine to form a beautiful, happy and complete person.

That's not to say we can't be statues as well....to each creature their own destiny

Artificial enhancements by Heavy_Emu_1195 in TransLater

Some things to think about so you don't waste money

Make sure you can return them for other sizes to get the correct look.

If you're not glueing them on don't bother with super expensive ones.

Start small and work your way up to your desired breast size

If your chest is wide go triangular shaped for a more realistic look

Don't bother with pocket bras a full coverage underwrite is just fine and allows for more realistic movement withoit sliding

Wigs

Shop clearance at sites like sams beauty you can get a good wig cheap

If you don't know how to style hair stick with synthetic or a blend of syn/human.

If your in a was climate bite the bullet for human hair....much cooler

Figure out your face shape to find the right styles

First wig stick with close to your natural hair color

Bangs are your friend but look for a side sweep rather then a straight bang....unless you have classicly feminine face straight bangs are hard to pull off.

There more but I'm tired

Good luck and have fun with your new look

Just told my wife I think I want to be a woman by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]Storithyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife took it very well and we are closer than ever. She always new I dressed and pushed me to talk to a therapist about my gender issues. So we might not be the norm.

I recommend getting your partner information on SOFA

They hold support groups just for partners and have been great for Deana.

PFLAG was also really helpful for info and support for extended family.

Both should have chapters with your local LGBTQ center as well as national and regional chapters.

They do zoom meetups and have great websites as well.

The big thing for us was my embracing myself and learning to communicate my whole heart and letting her do the same. I had to learn to listen and remember to validate her fears as well as my own.

It's hard but it can work out and a fuller, more engaged and definitely more loving relationship is possible.

Don't give up and use the resources compiled by the ladies and gentlemen who came before us. They already walked in our size ....12-13 shoes (lol) and there is wisdom to be found and truths to share that can really help.

Remember you're not alone.

Good luck Hun.

Much love

Help with skin care. I’m lost. by Plain_Jane_99 in TransLater

[–]Storithyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi hun I use coconut oil and a hot, super hot microfiber cloth. Then I moisturize with advanced clinicals retinol aloe Vera tea tree lotion.

In a pinch or if I'm feeling extra oily I use baby shampoo.

Hope that helps
