lately i have been mixing avocado, salsa and pure fermented habanero sauce and slapping that on lettuce and arugula it’s so good

that must have felt so good!

shoutout to transvoicelessons on youtube Z and Clover are amazing the videos (5 is my favorite) are so helpful

oh i’m stealing ‘in a couple years ago’ that’s great.

I think one nice thing about transitioning later is it seems easier for us to not give a fuck. I sort of force-masced myself 30 years ago and now i’m delighting in undoing all of that.

The affirmations really work, especially if you say them out loud. A lot of advertising and self hypnosis works because the brain puts fewer filters between direct audio and your mind. If you distract the executive network and the salience network is relaxed your brain just kind of accepts things it hears at a low level.

Good luck darling I believe in you <3

my wife had a huge purse collection that i’m allowed to mine! Old makeup, too!

hey sis! If you’re as pretty as me you are gonna have a good time! If you look at my post on the makeup comm you can see my boy face better without the glasses. I’m going to be 50 in a couple years.

When i first shaved my beard (after not shaving it for over 10 years) it was physically painful to see my face in the mirror. The vagus nerve in my chest would clench with anxiety. I hated my face so much.

My therapist helped me work out affirmations based on this meme a trans friend sent me that i was in love with:

So every night i spend an hour walking and I spent a lot of the time repeating out loud to myself over and over ‘ValenThyme is so pretty and she loves herself limitlessly’ and variations of that.

I wasn’t raised positively and was pushed to reduce my feminine behavior. Nobody ever told me I was a pretty girl. So i told myself, a thousand times. And my dumb crow brain listened. And now it is true, I love myself limitlessly and I can see the pretty girl when I look at myself. Okay we are a woman now, the beginning stages of an old lady probably. Whatever, I love myself limitlessly and I’m going to spend the rest of my days doing the things that make me happy.

It sounds like you are learning to see the true happy you inside and that is tremendous! Love yourself limitlessly and be free with us the skies are delightful!

It’s just personal preference. Some trans women get surgery, some don’t do anything and are happy with that. And everything in between.

I’m told you are to wait almost 2 years after starting E to get implants, to give your breast tissue a chance to develop (you go through 2nd puberty when you take it).

Personally i want them to match my big frame, so the DD’s will be for going out when I want to look feminine. When going to the gym i’m probably going to stick with the cutlets especially for doing laps the larger ones are heavy af and make you really warm. At home i sometimes just wear the bra with nothing in it but it’s pads just to feel nice.

I don’t mind the questions you’ve been quite respectful curiosity is great!

I had six boobs to return so it really was a big bag of 'em!

there’s like 3 levels,

cutlets, these are soft little pads that are self adhesive or you wear them in your bra. They don’t get very big. I’m 6’2 and am wearing these now and the bra is underfull.

breast forms, these are like for mastectomy replacements or trans women or crossdressing. They tend to have nipples. I’m a big girl and need 500 gram DD’s to match my frame. These will slide into pockets in my bras or just be held into place by compression. They feel realistic in the bra! My new ones are getting here friday i can’t wait I didn’t want to return the other set but the matching bra didn’t fit.

full chest plates, these go from like your neck to your waist and include your shoulders. These let you do advanced stuff like wear dresses that look like you have real boobs. I cannot imagine wearing one if these they look sooooo hot!

Oh they are an Amazon return center and I couldn’t really find any boobs locally!

Yes that is me I am that lady! Thank you <3

the accessories really help me feel nice and feminine. Got these fashion frames from aliexpress and i think they really help to feminize my face and look.

Going to go to Staples to return a bunch of boobs that didn’t fit and this will be my second time leaving the house in full femme and i love it so much.

Just need to get a femme haircut now!

lookin’ killer sis!!!

love those glasses

I need to get a choker, takin’ notes here

We are the same age! thanks for the support 🥰

i found some good guides!

I fucking love makeup

okay it’s really hard going into this as an already old person. I aspire to be a cute witch.

This is my first attempt at doing my own makeup. I need to learn contouring next, I think a thinner nose would be more feminine.

Ilook forward to long hair even if it’s gray!

Thank you for looking at my pretty face 🥰🙋‍♀️

Having just switched from Old Spice Swagger to SheaMoisture products I can assure you that ‘different smells, colors and water contents’ result in radically different outcomes in hair softness and smoothness!

I recommend the Sailing Anarchy forums and nauticed.org if you think you’re into sailing!

Bring On Another Thousand

super cute

there comes a point where you realize you haven’t thought about them in months and it’s delightful. Hang in there!
