Feeling down today

Feeling down today.

Have been away for a while due to work and find ally had weekend to go out dressed.

However...

Too hot for makeup. Can't get rid of beard yet.  Can't start hormones for a while (family & work reasons). Body is too wrecked by testosterone. Can't go out authentic because have to put on a mask for the world to see me as I am.

Just not happy being me

Sorry to hear that. It's never a great place to be in when you feel that way. When I was down like that I used to deal with it by pretending I was woman going undercover as a man...helped more than you might expect.

I hate to admit it but dressing as a woman helps me feel more like a woman.

In this heat,  can't use makeup and adhesives from breast forms stop holding.

Makes me feel like Cinderella with all the glamor melting away.

Just have to deal with it. At least I can dress as myself at home and my wife only makes fun with me,  not at me ☺️

Thank you though.

I use an underwired bra to hold my "chicken fillets" in place, so don't need an adhesive.
I know what you mean about those days when it's too hot for makeup. I use unperfumed hairspray to 'fix' my makeup in place. Learnt that trick from someone at a nightclub in London 18 years ago, works a treat.

Me too....... I'm not sure why but I feel really down today. I'm frustrated with living life as male. I can look forward to next weekend though. I'll be alone for the whole weekend so I can have a girlie weekend on my own. Perhaps if I start planning next weekend it might cheer me up.
I hope you too feel better soon.

No hate involved!  If you identify as a woman, seeing your gender identity reflected in your gender presentation is a perfectly normal, good thing.

Makes me feel a little better about needing to wear breast forms and tuck, even when working out and sleeping.

Thank you [emoji5]
