    My plan so far is just to go forward with HRT, body hair removal, and growing my hair out, until I can’t hide it anymore

    Lol I think this was my plan, and I just got to the “Im a girl now” part.

    Boymoding is sort of bad in that it makes it very hard to live a full life, like you can’t completely function socially when you’re pretending to be a guy all the time. But I think it totally makes sense to boymode for a limited amount of time well you wait for HRT and sort out some other stuff. Going full time is scary, but it’s less scary when you don’t have a beard to worry about and such. Practicing voice helps a lot too if that’s something you want to do.

    I also lost 40lbs on HRT by counting calories. It’s totally doable. HRT will debatebly make losing weight harder, but, like, cis women lose weight all the time.

    We have a fashion com, but it doesn’t get many posts. I would love to read more of your thoughts about this.

      I don’t function socially (in the real world) right now at all, to be honest. So, enduring that a little while longer wouldn’t be a huge shift away from where I’m at currently. I have been trying to socialize in vrchat more though, which is great because I can be whatever I want physically and I can also limit my socializing exclusively to pro-trans spaces.

      I agree and hair removal is a huge focus of mine right now. Problem for me is that I have some grey hairs on my face, which makes that difficult to contain with IPL, though IPL would work for every other part of my body. Maybe a combo of HRT, waxing, IPL would work? And then electrolysis at some point?

      Practicing voice helps a lot too if that’s something you want to do.

      Yes! I have already started getting into this a bit and plan to do some free virtual classes.

      I also lost 40lbs on HRT by counting calories. It’s totally doable. HRT will debatebly make losing weight harder, but, like, cis women lose weight all the time.

      This gives me hope! Was there anything particularly difficult? I need to do a lot more research on this. Much thanks for the response/advice!

      So no one would mind if we took it over maybe? thonk-trans EDIT: To be clear, I didn’t mean make it exclusive to trans people or something, but just to start posting more trans-related questions/threads there. I’m probably going to make a post there pretty soon on makeup stuffs.
