Some of it makes me happy. I'm not sure what all of it is for girls, but there are some things I'm keeping that certainly don't help me pass.

- my pink pajama pants that have little leaping reindeer all over them
- my fuzzy bunny slippers and my daughter's fuzzy pink slippers (which I wear more than she does)
- my fancy Tresemme aloe conditioner that I double-couponed on a sale day
- my St Ives cocoa and shea butter lotion
- my pink hoodie that I never wear but when I do it's like a security blanket
- my sleek pretty teardrop knife (that i'm temporarily not wearing because it lost a screw)
- my colorful socks
- my yoga pants (which I only wear under my clothes, but they're so comfy)
- the fabulous jacket I wear in my avatar

Yay. Anything you guys plan to hold onto?

I asked the professor what I was.  He said You are TS. Next day I had bonfire of all male clothes and began throwing out/donating other male stuff.

-All my hair care products. I know, I know, insert gay joke here XP.
-All my knitting stuff. I freaking love knitting! D:<
-My sewing stuffs, cuz I like that too :'P.
-My pony stuff, but My Little Pony is now masculine ;'D.
-All my feminine jewelry. I won't wear it since my hands are feminine enough, but my mommy gave them to me :'P.
-My grandma's jacket, it's all I have of her left.
-My birth control xD. Only thing that make my periods manageable, and I mean that in a literal sense ;_;. It's only temporary, until they stop permanently @_@...
-My stuffed animals :'P. I'm so not helping the gay stereotype...
-The few super girly anime and manga I have. Don't judge me for loving them! D:< I have manly ->-bleeped-<- too!
-My prom dress :'P. Simply because it's a beautiful dress and because I might get my boyfriend to wear it :'D!
-My baby clothes, for my mom.

Uhhh... the only thing I can think of are these pyjama pants I made in grade 9 sewing class. They're not exclusively female in pattern but they're made to fit a chick if you know what I mean.

I don't really have anything femme that I've kept, but I still continue certain behaviours. I figure, I'm not doing this to conform to some stereotype, I'm doing it to be me, so why should I stop the things I love?

So I:
+Crochet
+Wear black nailpolish (I'm metal so it's allowed...right?)
+Wear black eyeliner (My metal freind wishes to disown me for this crime...)
+Have double pierced ears
+Do beadwork

Huh, I thought there was more than that, but wracking my brain I can't seem to think of anything else...? :P

I knit sometimes, and I like to sew things when I need to fix or make something
I also use "nice" conditioners and shampoos
I use facial mud masks and stuff
take bubble baths
and still own my oldest stuffed animal, a little white dog named Fluffy

Oh, there are things I have no intention of getting rid of. I'll be the first to admit that I am most decidedly gay. That being said, I fully intend to keep:

-my striped socks
-my cool boots
- my incredibly awesome black and white plaid coat with velvet skulls on it that I bought when visiting my boyfriend in England
-my ball joint dolls (though the numbers are small, there are a number of guys involved in the hobby)
- my long black skirts

Most of my hobbies I'll keep right on doing, as I don't see things like sewing being particularly gendered.

I don't think I have much that I'll keep when I move out; my room still has a lot of old stuff from childhood.  I'll probably save some stuffed animals for my mom's "memory boxes".  Those have a ton of old things--photos, awards, things I made as a kid, etc.  I'll keep a lot of my "girl" books like the Nancy Drew series.  I don't have any "girl" clothes anymore.  As far as activities, all my hobbies are fairly neutral (music/piano, films, games, reading, etc).  I'm sure I have some effeminate mannerisms but I don't mind those as much.

Rereading some of you guys' posts, I have to expand my list lol  I'll be keeping my good-smelling shampoo/conditioner, scented wall plug-ins, and "girly" knick-knacks.

I won't judge you if you want to hang on to Marmalade Boy if you don't judge me for wanting to hang on to Death Note. :)

I guess my bellydancing stuff is probably the most girly stuff that I want to actually keep.  I'm hoping to get back into it, and a lot of the stuff would work well for a men's outfit too.  I'm also attached to a lot of my jewelry, as they were either made by me or by my dad for me.
Oh I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love

I'm a girly guy, so lots of stuff but here are few...

-My knitting stuff (which seems oddly popular among the guys here :D)
-My colorful socks. I love bright socks.
-My earrings.
-My grandmother's ring
-My engagement ring
-My stuffed animals, especially the penguins.
-My boots.
-My prom dress, because I worked so hard to buy it and it was only dance I ever went to.

Most of it is sentimental stuff. But, I like my boots and still wear them from time to time. I probably will keep up with my girly activities though like knitting, using "girly" smelling conditioners and shampoos (I buy what's on sale, because I'm cheap), and I like painting my toenails. Though that is mostly because I have not so good toenails... :\

I kept all my hair stuff (I dyed my hair ridiculous colors at some point) and some little girly notepads and stuff. I've just got a fair share of girly pink things I don't mind because I figure hey, I'm secure enough. XD I still go for cute things because as many have said before me, no need to shove myself into a new box. No need to worry about the small things.

Woot, I knit too! And sew. And make jewelery. And IDGAF if its girly, I love doing it, and it makes for some awesome giftgiving.

I wear a ring that looks kind of girly, even though my mom insisted it could go either way when she gave me it. Its a big amber stone set into a curly/vine-looking base and its one of the things I absolutely never take off. I've wanted one like it for years, she couldn't find one similar so she gave me hers. It sounds cheesy, but when I start getting really down (like, suicidal or edging back into alcoholic down) its right in my face, reminding me of my mom and how I've promised her to keep my dumb ass alive. It helps. Its infuriating at times, but it really helps.

Like a few other guys mentioned, I still wear makeup (not out of the house very often, mostly just when we're doing a shoot or something) I've got a women's jacket that I'll never give up because I love it, a ->-bleeped-<-load of girl's pants (mainly because they just fit me better and I hate baggy clothes) and there's probably other stuff I can't remember.

Even when I thought I was a girl I didn't really have anything girly, so when I came out I didn't need to throw anything away, I've always been masculine. There were a few thing that my mum had bought for me over the years, I didn't like them but kept them so not to hurt her feelings, being trans gave me an excuse to get rid of them.

One of the girly things I liked pre transition and wont get rid of are my stuffed animals. I don't have many anymore but have no desire to get rid of them, I like them too much.

I also knit, I took it up this year though so I don't see it as a girl thing.

Since starting T, i've become a lot more comfortable with myself and with my feminine side even though I'm a masculine guy. Pre transition and pre T, feminine things made me dysphoric. It took me a while but I am now happy to wear purple, knit, be a bit camp etc  :)

I didn't know so many guys knit. Holy crap.

I've kept all my warm socks and my musical instruments, although I don't play them anymore.

There's not a lot of items that I don't get rid of.  but there is my feminine side of me that I decided long ago I didn't want to get rid of.  It's true when I was teen I spent a lot of time teaching myself to be feminine so I could be normal.  and I still have a lot of those habits, but I don't care.  I want to be as feminine as I want to be.  and I don't want to try to change that.

he who shall not be named

I'm actually planning to start up crocheting, because I've wanted to make cute little crochet animals for THE LONGEST TIME and I don't care if that's considered "for girls" (ew, gender roles).  ;D I mean, c'mon, just look at them: http://www.craftycrafty.tv/crochetcreatures.jpg

so cuuuuuuute  :D

-I'll probably keep my women's leather jacket, it's pretty awesome.

-Jewelry! I have a bunch of feminine jewelry gifted to me by parents/family and I don't think I'll ever give them away, thought I might not wear them.

I know there's more, but I'm coming up blank right now. So that's it for now~

I'll have you all know that my old stuffed rabbit is very manly, so I see no reason for him to be on my list.  :P

Having said that, the total number of girl things that I don't plan to get rid of is a big fat zero. But that's just because I don't really have anything to give up. I mean, I guess artistic ability kinda counts as being girly, so I won't let go of painting/drawing/sculpting and all that, but other than that, I'm good.

I don't really have much "girl" stuff at all, so not much to possibly purge.

Keeping my stuffed animals- Including Becky, my pink and white bear that I got for my first christmas
Also, my Baby Minnie Mouse nightlight. She belonged to my sister, 9 years my senior, and I've had her since I was born.
