Hi Everyone;
I just read an interesting post by Jessica Merriman to someone else on this board and it made think that a good topic for discussion would be to ask everyone of us that is Male to Female to post one or two suggestions or piece of advice to those undergoing the transitioning from Male to Female that they can think of that can help someone new considering the process.
Jessica post said...... HRT and SRS does not make you a woman or fix everything. You need to learn the basics at this point and not technical data. You have so much to learn such as how to talk, walk, respond, socialize and just live as a woman. If you don't go step by step you will be in for a great shock. You will find yourself feminized and not know what to do. You will look feminine, but everything else will say male. In fact it will scream it.
So lets start a list. Suggestions or Advice can be on how to dress, walk, talk, socialise, respond, flirt (with a man or woman depending on one's sexuality) etc.
Lets try to get to 100 ideas and suggestions. Lets put a category after each suggestion.
Here are a couple of my ideas to start the process going:
1. Walking in heels (Fashion) - Look at youtube videos, start with kitten heels, place a tall mirror at the end of a corridor then practice 1 hour each day on different surfaces, building up to the high heels when you get confidence. Head up
2. Passing (Posture) Walking- Smile, Head up don't look down when you are dressed
3. Hand Gestures (Socialisation). - Have a coffee and watch a group of women talking with each other, notice how they gesture with their hands when they speak with each other.
4. What to wear (Dress Sense) - Try to dress your age (No Micro minis). Aim to fit in not stand out. Sometimes wearing less will help you better than piling on the clothes Wearing a pretty sleeveless dress, with nicely manicured nails, bare arms (no hair) and waxed underarms will help you pass more easily.
