Title: Transitioning Help
Post by: EmilyMI on September 01, 2012, 07:23:37 AM
I am still not full time yet unfortunately, I still am not confident enough to think that I pass? Can I get opinion's/suggestions please in what I can do to help me with my overall feminine appearance?

You look good already. couldn't tell if you were M2F or F2M.
Your nose is a little big but your face will round out as hormones kick in.

Thanks for your compliment, um not sure on the fender question? I was at a friends cousins house during my makeover so I do not know.  Sorry

I have been on HRT for almost three years, so I don't think that they will kick in anymore  >:(    I am very seriously considering getting FFS early next year to fix my brow, nose, jaw line and other areas.

Emily you are beautiful.

You're facial structure is very natural :)
making yourself believe you pass mentally makes you pass more than you think you do physically.
It's easy to question every angle and every tedious thing that defines the gender we wish to convey

Just be easy on yourself and focus on loving and taking care of your body opposed to trying to figure out whether you pass or not

and Stop Hiding who you are!
I think a lot of your worry is stemming from still only being partly yourself publicly
after 3 years you deserve it sister

Actually I am surprised that you are not full time.  If I saw you on the streets I won't see anything but a woman.

Thank You Jillary,

      I know a lot of my self confidence issues stems from my fears of being 'clocked' out in public, or people making comments behind their breath.  I am very self critical about myself when it comes to this, I know I NEED to not stress so much about it and just out and do it - if not then I will never be my true self in life.

/Hugs so much for that - that helps me greatly with my self confidence to hear things like that.  Compliments such as yours shows that I am probably just stressing to much about it!

Diva you look GOOD! My best suggestion is to love your self enough to show your self to the world. You deserve to be free, and you hold the key to that kingdom of liberation! You will get clocked, but you will also pass. This is the reality of life, just know that you are beautiful, and that your transition to female has gone marvelously well.

when I finally began to accept what was happening I realized it had always been going on as if it was waiting for me to embrace it

sometimes I wonder if this is just some kind of phase but then it goes to the next level and it makes so much more sense than before

/Hugs that helps a lot so thank you.  I know that eventually I will get 'clocked' or get looks.  I get looks now when I just go out by myself so that doesn't really bother me at all.  I just need to take what you said to heart and trust in myself, so that I can build up my self confidence and get out of my shell that is preventing me from being, well......ME!!!!
