So, for a long time i've known that I wasn't meant to be born male... And recently, i've started to accept it more than I ever have done before. I've seen a lot of people post on here having similar concerns that I do, and while reading the comments is sort of calming, I'm still really nervous about a lot of things... - Buying women's clothing. (and knowing my size, 'cause you can't exactly go try it on without people judging) - How to look more feminine. I'm quite masculine, have large hands, broad shoulders and balding, so i can't grow my hair out. - Coming out to everyone that I in fact feel as if I should of been born as female, and wanting to make the change... I just don't know what to do, it's stressing me out. I'm so unhappy with my life right now, and just want all of this to be over... but it's not as simple as going out and just doing it, as a lot of you well know... This whole situation is literally making my life a lot harder than it should be. :'c ---------- Post added 27th Nov 2014 at 02:25 PM ---------- Another thing i just thought of is dating... how am I to go about dating? I'll obviously need to tell people my intentions, and how i feel with my gender... but i just don't know how to go about it. "/
Here is a sizes chart, and some hints on clothing: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/gender-identity-expression/158773-buying-underwear.html#5 You might have a further look at these: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/gender-identity-expression/151212-makeup-tips.html#4 hair http://emptyclosets.com/forum/gender-identity-expression/156085-i-just-im-kind-scared.html#4 (*hug*) Its a lot of Information.... I'd say take your time...
Aww hun *hugs* I have a similar size and build to you so i know the feeling of being not very feminine on the outside :/ I only advice i can give is to go slowly and really think about things, maybe see a gender clinic? They'll be able to help
Thank you so much for this. I'll read over them. ^^ I guess, for the hair thing, wigs could also work... I kinda of some places that sell realistic looking wigs, but they are a little costly. >.< ---------- Post added 27th Nov 2014 at 03:41 PM ---------- Yeah... I probably should go to a gender clinic, but it's still super scary. :c
I went with the wig option. I got a decent one for like, $80. It's an investment, but so is being a girl. You'll spend money on wigs, clothes, accessories, shoes, etc etc. So Id personally go for the wig because you don't need to wait for hair to grow, you can pick your style, and it's reversible, because you can easily take it off and be a guy if you need to.
Yeah. The whole process is going to be an investment. But it's totally worth it, if I actually get to feel alive for the first time, in a very long time. :3
