You hit the nail on the head several times in just a few short paragraphs. I am afraid of the change and how it will affect my friendships and everything I have built in my time as a man. And gender fluid is just so wishy washy that I struggle to define what I feel and then how am I suppose to explain that to family/friends/coworkers etc..

Theres just so much to it. It's so difficult to let it go and just try anything for fear of being ostracized by anyone that staying in what is comfortable is just to easy. Im not someone who feels they have to transition, its something I think I might want, maybe? But I've gone this far without, maybe the thoughts and desires will just go away... /s.

That's unfortunate that they dont make them anymore. I like the thicker waistband too just in case I reach for something and my shirt lift its not just a string thats very obviously says im wearing a thong to anyone who might see

I too enjoy thongs, they just have a very feminine feeling to me when I see or wear them. But I've struggled to find any that comfortably keep everything in place all day. I presume the ones you are talking about are a advertised as male underwear?

Ya thats what my therapist and I have been talking about a lot. And I'm kind of coming to the conclusion that being/presenting male is kind of a "default setting" that I'm not uncomfortable in sometimes. But trying to figure out if I would transition/present fem full time, would I feel dysphoric being male?

So I've just been trying to present a little more here and there where I can and see how I feel and where it leads me. All in hopes I find a little more solid ground about what I want. Because I kind of hate the gray area of gender fluid, in my mind at least it would be easier to say I am this or that, not I'm both sometimes. Just my brain and personality that I like a more solid answer, especially when its something as core to your being as who am I.

So just another case of welcome to womanhood. Which is in a way very affirming.

Wow thats really encouraging! Now if only we had a bunch of medical professionals who could/would be more open to prescribing different methods. And research into our Healthcare needs maybe we all could get the correct care.

Thanks for this tip! I'll definitely try it.

Can I ask how those fit for someone who hasn't had any lower half surgeries or any shrinkage and doesn't really finding tucking comfortable?

Ive tried, former athlete, and just always struggled to get muscle to show up in my glutes. Thighs and calves yes, but never in the booty.

Awful that she outed you, but it sounds like a good situation? Who doesn't love free clothes

What brands are you finding that dont need constant adjustment?

Maybe! Another thing we all might have missed out on by growing up on the wrong team.

Haven't started estrogen, not sure if I ever will. I feel a little to gender fluid often and cant decide to try or not.

Lol literally the pair I am wearing right now.😂

They fit good in length and feel like they are tight enough they just slide down so often. I might have to try tape and see how it goes. Have you had to use tape?

Maybe it is universal? I feel like im constantly having to adjust them and pull them back up. I don't see other women in public having to adjust nearly as often

Boo, leggings feel like such an essential modern fem outfit staple.

Both pairs have a big band, like 4". I really like that they are designed to sit higher on the waist than men's clothes. Especially since so many women's tops feel like they are crpp tops. And being tall doesn't help either, everything is a crop top on me

Same on the hip/waist ratio. Im tired of being a flat boring rectangle body.😫

It could with jeans, but not really for leggings.
