Susan's Place Transgender Resources

For the past two weeks I have been on a shopping spree, and bought lets say... A lot of clothes, forms, makeup accessories.  I decided to dress myself up (breast forms, 38D bra, white capri, scoop half sleeve, a tummy tucker, bum booster, I know a lot right?), used my recently bought make up kit, and curled and styled my hair.  I am trying to not look like a drag queen, and appear more natural.  It was probably the first time I look "decent", and am in a real celebratory mood (popped open a pilsner!). 



And as you can tell I blacked out the back, but I think the pic gets the idea down.  I am pre-hrt, haven't plucked the eyebrows, have a bit of muscle lets say, so I know I still look very mannish... But this is feeling like a big moment for me.  Kind of nice to feel in my right skin in a different way :)

Dang!!! You's a hottie!!!  :icon_chick:

Nice pic, and indeed style.

If you keep on in similar vein there is no real danger of looking a drag queen.

You look beautiful, and your smile radiates happiness.  :)

Your really quite pretty, no,  i mean really beautiful...Not at all "mannish".  From the pic,  think ur eyebrows look fine. Better natural looking than over plucked.  ;)
Congrats on the wonderful feeling of being who you are inside!

Super cute!!

Congrats and you look great!!  Not too "mannish" (is that really even a word and it's correct spelling??) by any means.  Great smile and the muscle mass isn't anything to worry about.  Keep up the good work to becoming who you are.  Also, I love shopping as well and the proper clothes real do complete the presentation of who we see ourselves as on the inside.

The arm muscle shows a tad but not bad. Don't maneuver your eyebrows they look female and natural. You look pretty good actually. I kind of question the make up but I never cared for it so don't take that to heart.

I like your style, you will not look like like a drag queen at all!  Very cute!

Very nice.

Looking good hun

you are a cutie!

You don't look mannish.. maybe a little bit tomboy, but in a cute way.. and I like the short flippy hair

Looking super HOT!!!

I hope I can look that good when I start wearing makeup. You look very nice.

You're a cuteeee!

I believe the technical term is

"Giggity! Giggity!"

looks very nice and sits like a girl too...did you deliberately choose that pose or did it just happen?

Your facial features will give you a good start when/if you go onto HRT. Having a good bone structure to start with is great. On HRT the upper body will atrophy (muscle loss) and the face will have a little redistribution of fat to become more in line with female fat distribution.

Welcome to Alice in Wonderland, its quite a ride.

Wow you looking just stunning :o

Your really pretty! Your eyebrows look really nice, even though they aren't plucked they have a nice shape to them. I like your hair too  :)

edit: This was my 666th post  >:-)

You're pretty, not male at all. You're probably one of the lucky ones.

I do see a similarity to late princess Diana, very feminine features. Beautiful start and to think pre HRT, wow girl, youz gonna be gorgeous babe! 

If I was to arrive at that kind of look after one shopping trip I am standing at my door step waiting for a limo!

It was natural when I was dressed up... I normally do not sit like that.  But, for whatever reason, when I was dressed up my mannerisms aligned to a more feminine manner! 

Thank you everybody for the posts!! I have been feeling a lot better about my passing ability, once that day comes, from all the comments and support.  And again, thanks to all of you :)  I was at work today and comparing myself to girls around me, and it came to fruition in my mind that it might be a lot easier to pass than I thought.  I saw a girl my height (6 foot 3 inches) and no one would question her femaleness.  So, I am coming to terms with things about myself that are I think are masculine, are not as big of issues in passing.  I think it is something that, whether trans or not, one has; always thinking one is a lot less pretty than one actually is.  Been feeling really happy and a lot better about my appearance since this photo has been taken!   

I was a bit worried about my height (6'2")... But I've been noticing a few gals around town that are my height as well

One gal works at the market I go to... I was in her check out line when a guy stopped and said...
"Wow! There's some tall women around here... and you are both beautiful"

We both smiled and said thank you  :)

Don't worry about it, you really do look very feminine.
