So... pretty sure now I am a girl (~~still~~ not cis tho!). Started off thinking I'd stealth in boymode until I could make the switch, but I kind of want to tell the world and be recognized as at least trying to present fem. I think my sister-in-law knows: nobody has ever complimented my clothes before, and it made me so happy! (even though it was something I got from the men's department ages ago...)
Went into town to visit an LGBT support center and chat with some real-life trans people. At least I think they were; it didn't seem right to ask. I hope I can look that natural eventually.
Skinny fit jeans! They make my legs look great! Anyone have suggestions for tuck-friendly underwear?
Next step might be to start to do something about the beard. That's a bit scary though and I don't know if my hair color will work for laser anyway.
