Hello, I'm about 3 months into hrt and maybe about 1/3 of the way to beard removal, and still losing weight. Before I decided to finally transition, I was 32 lbs heavier, and had such massive GD, I had to dress at home, and I looked ridiculous. It might be that the clothes didn't fit right, or there was no way to conceal the makeup, or masculine shaped eyebrows. Anyway, it was massive fail, and made me even more skittish about myself. Now, I'm better, but am wondering, should I even practice now, or wait till all the ducks are in a row and have more success? Removing the beard will probably take six months from now, but i could do feminine eyebrows immediately. I was waiting to do the eyebrows till I was ready to come out at work. Should I just work on style? I'm still losing weight, but down to a size 10. My goal is a size 8. I'd love some ideas on style. I'm an artist/engineer. Whenever they have those types in movies as women, it looks silly like in the new Ghostbusters. I'm thinking of doing more steampunk OR Victorian making that my style, but do want to make sure it's the feminine I'm accentuating. Oh, I don't think I'd ever be a skirt gal. Anyway, confused on the way forward.
