Hi everyone!
First off I'd like to say hi and thanks for having me, this is my first post and I already feel better being in a safe environment to vent and discuss if that makes sense.
This was the year of change for me! I'm hoping to start hormones soon (within the next few weeks or months give or take since there are still a few medical things to assess and check) and I am extremely excited. I'm somewhat nervous too (I guess that's normal) because I feel like I've lived 23 years in limbo, never quite feeling like a whole person and now the wholeness that I feel inside when I connect to that other entity will be allowed to live and breathe as it's own being, I hope this makes sense, if it's going to anywhere then it'll be here.
I've always been in a state of confusion regarding my gender identity and it's really been the past year that it's started to make sense. The identity that has been in me for so long is starting to spread it's wings. When I dress as her, I can see the difference in my eyes, there's a fire in them. I'm alive. In photos taken in my assigned gender, I often look as if I'm on trial for my existence.
Anyway enough deep talk! Recently I've been more interested in the concept of passibility too. Basically I have not had any hormone therapy yet so really, I'm at the beginning of this whole journey and I simply do not know how passable (if at all!) I am. People have told me I'm quite feminine looking but I don't know how well I'd come across in public.
I'd love some advice regarding makeup and hair from those who have had more experience if that would be possible.
Here's some pics I took today, I have some light makeup on (I do think the foundation is a little dark for me but hey, when you know better you do better!
)
As I said, I haven't started any kind of HRT or hormones yet so the benefits of that isn't there. I'm just looking for quick tips and cheats to make things a little more feminine. Thanks x
