I'm still phasing out the women's underwear. I was never girly. Even though I was a little kid when i started dressing myself I never gave underware a thought untill a few years ago. I didn't even think to buy it myself before then so i still have a lot of pairs left. Same deal with socks. Not that I can even tell the men's socks from the women's.

Um... I'm keeping a few tops and my jewellery just because the few girls things I bought before transition were really nice. And I like to have shiny stuff around. ;D And my stuffed animals, because I'd feel like I was abandoning them. And a few dolls and purses that were presents from my dad... they'll probably go into storage at some point but I can't bring myself to get rid of them. I've also got two baskets of makeup and skin products, plus hair stuff, and I don't give a damn that it's femme. Oh, and socks. I have lots of bright, patterned socks. Some with puppies and kittens. I wear them frequently, in mismatched pairs.

It's weird, because I don't think I usually come across as a feminine guy (except on the rare occasions when I wear eyeliner and such), but I certainly have enough female stuff lying around.

Bracelets, necklaces and rings.
Every jacket that I love that came out of the women's department.
My boots that also came out of the women's department.
Some shirts that came out of the women's department.

Basically when it comes to clothing I wear what I feel looks good on me and what I like, no matter what department it comes from.

Hair straightener (I know there are some guys out there who also use them but I think most people would say that's a girl item).

Lavender organic lotion.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

My stuffed animals/pillow pets.
Hair straightener if that's girly..
Books, like the Twilight series and some lesbian themed books.
DVDs, I have Gilmore Girls and the Hills and Laguna Beach  ;D
Tegan and Sara CDs/DVDs.
(my pop culture interests are the girliest things about me haha)

I think that's it.. I don't really have anything else girly besides some clothes. I won't hesitate to get rid of those though, I'm just too lazy to clean out my closet and drawers right now.

Guy things I won't get rid of:

Video games.
Anime(the action kind :D)
Fart jokes.
Saying the word "bro".
People say I have a 'guyish' personality, but I like it, so I'm not changing that.
Being the Big Spoon while spooning.
Wearing boxers and boxer briefs and those ONLY. (Panties are uncomfortable as hell)
Uhhh... bacon?

-My pony stuff, but My Little Pony is now masculine ;'D

Yeah.  It would be hard to argue that My Little Pony is feminine, considering that the largest viewer demographic for their latest show is actually college-aged males.

I do not consider crochet, or any other type of hand craft such as knitting, sewing, etc, a girl thing.  These are activities everyone participates in and are needed for survival in some places, if not now at one point they have been.  I even read an article in a Piecework magazine about a guy who was captured as a POW during WWII who knew how to knit and he got all the spare bits of yarn he could find, and made himself a pair of needles and knit a big blanket to stay warm.  It was awesome.

I was trying to think, but I've never owned anything particularly girly. I guess I'm yet another knitter, though. All my female clothes either went to charity or to friends of friends a long time ago.

This makes me smile. :)

Rukia you really put a leather jacket in the washing machine? Lol that takes guts.

And I agree that sewing is not necessarily girly. My dad taught me that it was important for anybody who wants to survive and be self-sufficient, and he was a military guy.

I forgot about nail polish. I won't get rid of it, but it technically belongs to my daughter, so I'm enjoying it but it's not me keeping it. I dig the blue and the silver and the sparkly purple.

And stuffed animals. They are a happy thing. The only one I have at the moment is a Yoshi doll, but he's important to me.

I like it too, it feels like the kitty is gently scolding me for something.

- My plushies. >w< After all, I do kind of collect them.
- Tiny collection of yaoi manga which is meant more for female audience.
- The canvas works my Grandma bought me to do.

Can't really think of anything else at the moment. I guess I've always tried to avoid girly stuff or something. :D

Joey Your crazy! Lol! Panties are so so comfortable! maybe you tried on the wrong type/style for you? I love boy shorts, there kind of like boxer briefs but smoother and more comfy! just saying! oh I am just teasing you Girl!

Don't judge a book by its cover! My lifes been like a country song! True love, amazing grace, severe heartbreak, buckles, boots n spurs! I 've been thrown off the bull a couple times, I keep getting up and dusting myself off! Can't give up on my happily ever after!

Speaking of stuffed animals, I've got two I'll never part with meself. One of them is a little patchwork cat my mom bought me when i was about 11 at Hot Topic of all places (One of those 'Emily' cats, I think its cute so...yeah) and the other one is a teddy bear my mom made when she was in home ec, back in high school. I might've actually posted a picture of it here at one point, can't remember, but I love him.
And I do, in fact, always keep him next to my pillow. I guess at heart, embarrassing as it may be, I'll always be a mama's boy.

While I never consciously chose stuff for being or not being feminine/masculine, since I've
come out, I'm actually finding certain things annoying when shopping for shampoos, shower gel
etc.
The guy stuff usually looks unattractive; packaging-wise, I mean; and the names they give these
things: Right Guard! Yeah, sooo manly! I want to guard the my property right now, like a fierce
Rottweiler!GRRRR! Or the Lynx deodorants, meant to attract girls to you! Does it really work?
I've got the 2012 'final edition' right now - hasn't worked so far, but lovely (and yes, I say lovely!)
smell!
Underwear! Don't start me on the that one! I loathe men's pants, not for their cut, but because the
horrible designs you get! Like black and grey triangle things floating through spaca against a mud
coloured background, or other strange 'alien' shapes. I'd almost always go for cartoon boxers if they're
not too dear, same for socks, I looove my Homer Simpson and Mr Bean socks! They're such a nice
contrast to the way I dress, I just can't take this life too seriously...
So, what stuff I won't let go off?

- my favourite undies, nice, colourful, happy, some of them even pink and with hearts or animal-pattern
- my pink glittering diary
- my horse tool box (stuff you need for grooming horses that is), it's bright pink with little horses on it
and glitter stickers! I store my DIY stuff in it now!
- some scarfs with bright colours and glitter effect
- holographic nailpolish
- bedlinen with floral prints
- floral prints in general (curtaints, spreads etc)
- my cuddly toys (doggies), and I still add one to the collection at least once per month

All in all, I find some of the 'typical' guy stuff rather bland and not at all cheerful. Like a person that can't smile;
I don't want to be like that;)) I like the asian look a lot, it's obviously Manga-influenced and doesn't make such
a clear distinction between the classical male and modern female style.
When shopping with a (female) friend , I'd still say, oh look, isn't this cute? or 'Look at his little paws and the little
face,  e.g. when seeing a super-cute dog (obviously not when dealing with a Rottweiler;)

Oh, forgot, I won't remove the dolphin and puppy stickers from my car either (Ford Fiesta...er, do I need a new
car?)

True. Fact.  :-X

I haven't given up all my women's underwear; some of it is pretty. I'm not sure what I'll do with the matching set or two once I've had my surgery. Probably burn the bras and keep the panties. Holy crap, I just got super excited to burn my bras.

I'm also saving my dresses and skirts to wear again once I'm less female. Hopefully this summer I'll be all operated-upon and able to wear sundresses.

I crochet and do beadwork and ceramics. Never giving up my yarn and shinies.

My grooming routine is pretty minimal and I guess masculine. I'll always shave my armpits though. Even during no-shave November I kept them pretty clear.

I'm not really FtM, I consider myself lacking in gender, but this list makes me seem pretty fem. I don't know though, I can't tell what fem is. I'm gender-challenged.
