Some of it makes me happy. I'm not sure what all of it is for girls, but there are some things I'm keeping that certainly don't help me pass.
- my pink pajama pants that have little leaping reindeer all over them
- my fuzzy bunny slippers and my daughter's fuzzy pink slippers (which I wear more than she does)
- my fancy Tresemme aloe conditioner that I double-couponed on a sale day
- my St Ives cocoa and shea butter lotion
- my pink hoodie that I never wear but when I do it's like a security blanket
- my sleek pretty teardrop knife (that i'm temporarily not wearing because it lost a screw)
- my colorful socks
- my yoga pants (which I only wear under my clothes, but they're so comfy)
- the fabulous jacket I wear in my avatar
Yay. Anything you guys plan to hold onto?
I asked the professor what I was. He said You are TS. Next day I had bonfire of all male clothes and began throwing out/donating other male stuff.
-All my hair care products. I know, I know, insert gay joke here XP.
-All my knitting stuff. I freaking love knitting! D:<
-My sewing stuffs, cuz I like that too :'P.
-My pony stuff, but My Little Pony is now masculine ;'D.
-All my feminine jewelry. I won't wear it since my hands are feminine enough, but my mommy gave them to me :'P.
-My grandma's jacket, it's all I have of her left.
-My birth control xD. Only thing that make my periods manageable, and I mean that in a literal sense ;_;. It's only temporary, until they stop permanently @_@...
-My stuffed animals :'P. I'm so not helping the gay stereotype...
-The few super girly anime and manga I have. Don't judge me for loving them! D:< I have manly ->-bleeped-<- too!
-My prom dress :'P. Simply because it's a beautiful dress and because I might get my boyfriend to wear it :'D!
-My baby clothes, for my mom.
Uhhh... the only thing I can think of are these pyjama pants I made in grade 9 sewing class. They're not exclusively female in pattern but they're made to fit a chick if you know what I mean.
I don't really have anything femme that I've kept, but I still continue certain behaviours. I figure, I'm not doing this to conform to some stereotype, I'm doing it to be me, so why should I stop the things I love?
So I:
+Crochet
+Wear black nailpolish (I'm metal so it's allowed...right?)
+Wear black eyeliner (My metal freind wishes to disown me for this crime...)
+Have double pierced ears
+Do beadwork
Huh, I thought there was more than that, but wracking my brain I can't seem to think of anything else...? :P

same
I knit sometimes, and I like to sew things when I need to fix or make something
I also use "nice" conditioners and shampoos
I use facial mud masks and stuff
take bubble baths
and still own my oldest stuffed animal, a little white dog named Fluffy
Oh, there are things I have no intention of getting rid of. I'll be the first to admit that I am most decidedly gay. That being said, I fully intend to keep:
-my striped socks
-my cool boots
- my incredibly awesome black and white plaid coat with velvet skulls on it that I bought when visiting my boyfriend in England
-my ball joint dolls (though the numbers are small, there are a number of guys involved in the hobby)
- my long black skirts
Most of my hobbies I'll keep right on doing, as I don't see things like sewing being particularly gendered.
I don't think I have much that I'll keep when I move out; my room still has a lot of old stuff from childhood. I'll probably save some stuffed animals for my mom's "memory boxes". Those have a ton of old things--photos, awards, things I made as a kid, etc. I'll keep a lot of my "girl" books like the Nancy Drew series. I don't have any "girl" clothes anymore. As far as activities, all my hobbies are fairly neutral (music/piano, films, games, reading, etc). I'm sure I have some effeminate mannerisms but I don't mind those as much.
Rereading some of you guys' posts, I have to expand my list lol I'll be keeping my good-smelling shampoo/conditioner, scented wall plug-ins, and "girly" knick-knacks.

I won't judge you if you want to hang on to Marmalade Boy if you don't judge me for wanting to hang on to Death Note. :)
Ah, the memories... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57jc59_97eI#)
I guess my bellydancing stuff is probably the most girly stuff that I want to actually keep. I'm hoping to get back into it, and a lot of the stuff would work well for a men's outfit too. I'm also attached to a lot of my jewelry, as they were either made by me or by my dad for me.
I'm a girly guy, so lots of stuff but here are few...
-My knitting stuff (which seems oddly popular among the guys here :D)
-My colorful socks. I love bright socks.
-My earrings.
-My grandmother's ring
-My engagement ring
-My stuffed animals, especially the penguins.
-My boots.
-My prom dress, because I worked so hard to buy it and it was only dance I ever went to.
Most of it is sentimental stuff. But, I like my boots and still wear them from time to time. I probably will keep up with my girly activities though like knitting, using "girly" smelling conditioners and shampoos (I buy what's on sale, because I'm cheap), and I like painting my toenails. Though that is mostly because I have not so good toenails... :\
I kept all my hair stuff (I dyed my hair ridiculous colors at some point) and some little girly notepads and stuff. I've just got a fair share of girly pink things I don't mind because I figure hey, I'm secure enough. XD I still go for cute things because as many have said before me, no need to shove myself into a new box. No need to worry about the small things.
Woot, I knit too! And sew. And make jewelery. And IDGAF if its girly, I love doing it, and it makes for some awesome giftgiving.
I wear a ring that looks kind of girly, even though my mom insisted it could go either way when she gave me it. Its a big amber stone set into a curly/vine-looking base and its one of the things I absolutely never take off. I've wanted one like it for years, she couldn't find one similar so she gave me hers. It sounds cheesy, but when I start getting really down (like, suicidal or edging back into alcoholic down) its right in my face, reminding me of my mom and how I've promised her to keep my dumb ass alive. It helps. Its infuriating at times, but it really helps.
Like a few other guys mentioned, I still wear makeup (not out of the house very often, mostly just when we're doing a shoot or something) I've got a women's jacket that I'll never give up because I love it, a ->-bleeped-<-load of girl's pants (mainly because they just fit me better and I hate baggy clothes) and there's probably other stuff I can't remember.
Even when I thought I was a girl I didn't really have anything girly, so when I came out I didn't need to throw anything away, I've always been masculine. There were a few thing that my mum had bought for me over the years, I didn't like them but kept them so not to hurt her feelings, being trans gave me an excuse to get rid of them.
One of the girly things I liked pre transition and wont get rid of are my stuffed animals. I don't have many anymore but have no desire to get rid of them, I like them too much.
I also knit, I took it up this year though so I don't see it as a girl thing.
Since starting T, i've become a lot more comfortable with myself and with my feminine side even though I'm a masculine guy. Pre transition and pre T, feminine things made me dysphoric. It took me a while but I am now happy to wear purple, knit, be a bit camp etc :)
I didn't know so many guys knit. Holy crap.
I've kept all my warm socks and my musical instruments, although I don't play them anymore.
Hope you guys don't mind little ole me posting here.
Lets see, what guy things i won't get rid of are:
- My baggy hole ridden band tee shirts
- My old Vans skater shoes
- Some of my boxers
- My xbox & all my other video game systems
- My snowboard
- My leather aviator jacket which i shrunk in the washer&dryer so now it looks girly on me!
:D
There's not a lot of items that I don't get rid of. but there is my feminine side of me that I decided long ago I didn't want to get rid of. It's true when I was teen I spent a lot of time teaching myself to be feminine so I could be normal. and I still have a lot of those habits, but I don't care. I want to be as feminine as I want to be. and I don't want to try to change that.
I'm actually planning to start up crocheting, because I've wanted to make cute little crochet animals for THE LONGEST TIME and I don't care if that's considered "for girls" (ew, gender roles). ;D I mean, c'mon, just look at them: http://www.craftycrafty.tv/crochetcreatures.jpg (http://www.craftycrafty.tv/crochetcreatures.jpg)
so cuuuuuuute :D
-I'll probably keep my women's leather jacket, it's pretty awesome.
-Jewelry! I have a bunch of feminine jewelry gifted to me by parents/family and I don't think I'll ever give them away, thought I might not wear them.
I know there's more, but I'm coming up blank right now. So that's it for now~
I'll have you all know that my old stuffed rabbit is very manly, so I see no reason for him to be on my list. :P
Having said that, the total number of girl things that I don't plan to get rid of is a big fat zero. But that's just because I don't really have anything to give up. I mean, I guess artistic ability kinda counts as being girly, so I won't let go of painting/drawing/sculpting and all that, but other than that, I'm good.
I don't really have much "girl" stuff at all, so not much to possibly purge.
Keeping my stuffed animals- Including Becky, my pink and white bear that I got for my first christmas
Also, my Baby Minnie Mouse nightlight. She belonged to my sister, 9 years my senior, and I've had her since I was born.
I'm still phasing out the women's underwear. I was never girly. Even though I was a little kid when i started dressing myself I never gave underware a thought untill a few years ago. I didn't even think to buy it myself before then so i still have a lot of pairs left. Same deal with socks. Not that I can even tell the men's socks from the women's.
Um... I'm keeping a few tops and my jewellery just because the few girls things I bought before transition were really nice. And I like to have shiny stuff around. ;D And my stuffed animals, because I'd feel like I was abandoning them. And a few dolls and purses that were presents from my dad... they'll probably go into storage at some point but I can't bring myself to get rid of them. I've also got two baskets of makeup and skin products, plus hair stuff, and I don't give a damn that it's femme. Oh, and socks. I have lots of bright, patterned socks. Some with puppies and kittens. I wear them frequently, in mismatched pairs.
It's weird, because I don't think I usually come across as a feminine guy (except on the rare occasions when I wear eyeliner and such), but I certainly have enough female stuff lying around.
Bracelets, necklaces and rings.
Every jacket that I love that came out of the women's department.
My boots that also came out of the women's department.
Some shirts that came out of the women's department.
Basically when it comes to clothing I wear what I feel looks good on me and what I like, no matter what department it comes from.
Hair straightener (I know there are some guys out there who also use them but I think most people would say that's a girl item).
Lavender organic lotion.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
My stuffed animals/pillow pets.
Hair straightener if that's girly..
Books, like the Twilight series and some lesbian themed books.
DVDs, I have Gilmore Girls and the Hills and Laguna Beach ;D
Tegan and Sara CDs/DVDs.
(my pop culture interests are the girliest things about me haha)
I think that's it.. I don't really have anything else girly besides some clothes. I won't hesitate to get rid of those though, I'm just too lazy to clean out my closet and drawers right now.
Guy things I won't get rid of:
Video games.
Anime(the action kind :D)
Fart jokes.
Saying the word "bro".
People say I have a 'guyish' personality, but I like it, so I'm not changing that.
Being the Big Spoon while spooning.
Wearing boxers and boxer briefs and those ONLY. (Panties are uncomfortable as hell)
Uhhh... bacon?
Oooh! Thought of something else........my Backstreet Boys CDs :P

-My pony stuff, but My Little Pony is now masculine ;'D
Yeah. It would be hard to argue that My Little Pony is feminine, considering that the largest viewer demographic for their latest show is actually college-aged males.
I do not consider crochet, or any other type of hand craft such as knitting, sewing, etc, a girl thing. These are activities everyone participates in and are needed for survival in some places, if not now at one point they have been. I even read an article in a Piecework magazine about a guy who was captured as a POW during WWII who knew how to knit and he got all the spare bits of yarn he could find, and made himself a pair of needles and knit a big blanket to stay warm. It was awesome.
I was trying to think, but I've never owned anything particularly girly. I guess I'm yet another knitter, though. All my female clothes either went to charity or to friends of friends a long time ago.
Solobear: your profile pic is too cute o___o
I can't look at anything else anymore.
QuoteBeing the Big Spoon while spooning.
This makes me smile. :)
Rukia you really put a leather jacket in the washing machine? Lol that takes guts.
And I agree that sewing is not necessarily girly. My dad taught me that it was important for anybody who wants to survive and be self-sufficient, and he was a military guy.
I forgot about nail polish. I won't get rid of it, but it technically belongs to my daughter, so I'm enjoying it but it's not me keeping it. I dig the blue and the silver and the sparkly purple.
And stuffed animals. They are a happy thing. The only one I have at the moment is a Yoshi doll, but he's important to me.

I like it too, it feels like the kitty is gently scolding me for something.
- My plushies. >w< After all, I do kind of collect them.
- Tiny collection of yaoi manga which is meant more for female audience.
- The canvas works my Grandma bought me to do.
Can't really think of anything else at the moment. I guess I've always tried to avoid girly stuff or something. :D

Joey Your crazy! Lol! Panties are so so comfortable! maybe you tried on the wrong type/style for you? I love boy shorts, there kind of like boxer briefs but smoother and more comfy! just saying! oh I am just teasing you Girl!
I've tried just about every kind, haha!
Boyshorts give me wedgies v__v
I don't like adjusting myself every 10 minutes!
Lol :laugh:
Speaking of stuffed animals, I've got two I'll never part with meself. One of them is a little patchwork cat my mom bought me when i was about 11 at Hot Topic of all places (One of those 'Emily' cats, I think its cute so...yeah) and the other one is a teddy bear my mom made when she was in home ec, back in high school. I might've actually posted a picture of it here at one point, can't remember, but I love him.
And I do, in fact, always keep him next to my pillow. I guess at heart, embarrassing as it may be, I'll always be a mama's boy.

So seconded. That'll be my fate as well. :D
While I never consciously chose stuff for being or not being feminine/masculine, since I've
come out, I'm actually finding certain things annoying when shopping for shampoos, shower gel
etc.
The guy stuff usually looks unattractive; packaging-wise, I mean; and the names they give these
things: Right Guard! Yeah, sooo manly! I want to guard the my property right now, like a fierce
Rottweiler!GRRRR! Or the Lynx deodorants, meant to attract girls to you! Does it really work?
I've got the 2012 'final edition' right now - hasn't worked so far, but lovely (and yes, I say lovely!)
smell!
Underwear! Don't start me on the that one! I loathe men's pants, not for their cut, but because the
horrible designs you get! Like black and grey triangle things floating through spaca against a mud
coloured background, or other strange 'alien' shapes. I'd almost always go for cartoon boxers if they're
not too dear, same for socks, I looove my Homer Simpson and Mr Bean socks! They're such a nice
contrast to the way I dress, I just can't take this life too seriously...
So, what stuff I won't let go off?
- my favourite undies, nice, colourful, happy, some of them even pink and with hearts or animal-pattern
- my pink glittering diary
- my horse tool box (stuff you need for grooming horses that is), it's bright pink with little horses on it
and glitter stickers! I store my DIY stuff in it now!
- some scarfs with bright colours and glitter effect
- holographic nailpolish
- bedlinen with floral prints
- floral prints in general (curtaints, spreads etc)
- my cuddly toys (doggies), and I still add one to the collection at least once per month
All in all, I find some of the 'typical' guy stuff rather bland and not at all cheerful. Like a person that can't smile;
I don't want to be like that;)) I like the asian look a lot, it's obviously Manga-influenced and doesn't make such
a clear distinction between the classical male and modern female style.
When shopping with a (female) friend , I'd still say, oh look, isn't this cute? or 'Look at his little paws and the little
face, e.g. when seeing a super-cute dog (obviously not when dealing with a Rottweiler;)
Oh, forgot, I won't remove the dolphin and puppy stickers from my car either (Ford Fiesta...er, do I need a new
car?)

Boyshorts give me wedgies v__v
True. Fact. :-X
I haven't given up all my women's underwear; some of it is pretty. I'm not sure what I'll do with the matching set or two once I've had my surgery. Probably burn the bras and keep the panties. Holy crap, I just got super excited to burn my bras.
I'm also saving my dresses and skirts to wear again once I'm less female. Hopefully this summer I'll be all operated-upon and able to wear sundresses.
I crochet and do beadwork and ceramics. Never giving up my yarn and shinies.
My grooming routine is pretty minimal and I guess masculine. I'll always shave my armpits though. Even during no-shave November I kept them pretty clear.
I'm not really FtM, I consider myself lacking in gender, but this list makes me seem pretty fem. I don't know though, I can't tell what fem is. I'm gender-challenged.

oh no not the wedgies! I dunno they good for me, my top three pics would be boyshorts,hipsters and bikini style. I like boxers too, there nice for lounging around the house. Anyways
Boy things I wont get rid of:
Liking V8 gas guzzling performance cars
my Guns
Some of my boxers,
Hmm come to think of it don't have many boy things!

I luv wearing boxers so i don't think ima give them up, besides i just bought a pair of girly boxers from forever21 that have cupcakes all over them...so fudging cute! :D
Oh & another "boyish" thing i will never get rid of is my New York Yankees ball cap. I think ball caps look so much cuter on girls anyway so yeah tis all good. ;D
Nail polish, I forgot that. I have black, sparkly black, lime green, silver, and burgundy. Haha, they're fun, even I do get odd looks when my nails are painted.

I think black nail polish looks cool, and I had some like cool vibrant blue color before, it was neat.

Yall all keep talking about underwear. I don't wear underwear (except long johns), but I'm trying to learn to. I've tried a bunch of kinds, and idk. I just image-searched "boy shorts," and they look sexy on women, but they look uncomfortable. I find that boxers are okay to sleep in, but they ride up under jeans. I wore regular tightey-whities for a sex partner once, and they didn't feel near as stupid as I always thought they looked. They were comfortable...I just tried to google for the tightey-whitey type that has some length onto the thigh, and I tried several search terms, and lol those were interesting results.
1st of all - I have never known so many guys to knit/sew/crochet etc, haha
I never really had a lot that was girly, but I do have a TON of monkey stuff that I can't part with. I've put most of it in a bin in my basement (minus a Build-A-Bear Red Sox Monkey my sister made me), but I'm definitely not getting rid of my monkey stuff.
I do also have a couple of "chick flick" DVDs that are my guilty pleasures lol.

Omg I love monkeys. My kid only likes cats and dogs, idk why. If I had monkey stuff no way would i get rid of it.
I don't know why, but those two last posts made me thing of Rainbow Monkeys :'P.
I completely forgot that cooking was considered feminine. Sure as hell not giving that up. My food is freaking awesome and cannot be taken away from the world! D:<

That was my issue with boxers as well, and boxer briefs. But I found ones that didn't ride up! They're boxer briefs "athletic fit" from american eagle. Love em, I'd suggest you try a pair. But wait til there is a sale or else they're $12.50 each, ick.
I have a $40 Macy's giftcard (medical research ftw), and I can't decide what to get with it. They don't have American Eagle stuff, but maybe there's something similar there? Anybody ever shop at Macy's? I went in and tried on hats the other day, and lol I just felt like a little kid. My head is too small. :laugh:

Reminds me of my favorite song from Wicked. :3
Rob Guest The Wizard Sentimental Man W Channel Foxtel (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2u2QbZWdUqM#)
I have 4 stuffed animals. My paternal grandma also gave me some artwork that is rather feminine, but it's beautiful. When she dies, she'll also be giving me some pettypoint that her mother made. Currently it has my old name written on it, but she said she's working on changing that.
Julian,
That's actually where I got the phrase, haha. I love Wicked. I saw it front row center in Richmond, VA, last August. Sooooooooooo wonderful.
I actually don't think I have anything "girly" I'm holding onto. I got rid of everything. Not because of dysphoria, but because it's not who I am.
Hahah reading these is awesome, it's great to see so many of us are crafters - I sew too :P I know a few guys who make plush toys like I do!
As far as "girlish" things go, I know I don't wanna give up my massive collection of plushies! Including my Maromis from Paranoia Agent...so many pink puppies...LOL. Also my stickers, stationary, and other girly things I stick in packages when I mail them to people. I have a few girl shirts I may keep for nostalgia's sake and because they were gifts too. I think that's about it.
Oh yeah, I totally have a pair of Grinch fuzzy pajama pants that I'm not parting with, lol.
I don't necessarily consider all these things as girl things, but some things are definitely feminine or were made with female people in mind:
- Two outfits: 1) a grey bubble dress with grey 4" pumps and 2) a really cute blue flower sundress with canvas sandals
- An Obey shirt who's design I really like (I really doubt it fits anymore)
- My black boots, but hell, they look really androgynous. Same thing with all my other shoes
- Several long jackets that rock. Again, these look quite androgynous
- All of my scarves and hats
- My stuffed bear
- Two pairs of skinny jeans (made for women)
- My wig with long, wavy hair
- All of my plushies. (25-30?!)
- Three pants. (I still wear my black formal one and noone thinking about female design.)
- Nail polish. (Actually, bought it yesterday. Black. Goth/rock, hell yeah!)
- Underwear. (I'm trying to buy boys'... but not works all the time.)
- Labrys-like pendant. (Support lesbians! Support viking-style guys! LOL.)
- Lesbian themed books.
- Hair straightener.
- A spring linen coat.
- Bedlinen with pink flower prints.
- Dark pink knitted wool pullover.
It's real fun to see that many of y'all knit and sew. :) When in first year of high school "boys had to make a mini wood boat, girls had to knit a scarf" we exchanged, a feminine guy and me. Yay. :D
Anyway, sewing is not girly. Long time ago that was definitely men's work! ;)
Only things I can think of is: (not all "actual" things)
- some of my DVDs, CDs and books that would be considered feminine, I like them and I don't care what anyone has to say; I have an eclectic taste anyway
- my marginal sense of style in like clothes, shoes, cologne, home deco etc where I probably have slightly better taste than the average straight guy, I like my stuff and the way I smell
- all photos of me in my previous life, not that there are heaps on display only important ones, but I am not embarrassed by the others they're just not out
- some of my childhood gifts, jewellery, plaques etc, their sentimental value is way too high for me to ever consider parting with any of those
- I have a few stuffed animals which I have no problem having around, again they're not on display, they're just there but they are now in the spare room
- oh and some of my skin care procedures and products, not something I cared about pre T but ever since the acne started I've had to implement something, and currently I have found treatments and products that I will use so long as they continue to work!
Honestly come to think, I've never really been a girl :eusa_think: lol
I wear lotion sometimes
I still have stuffed animals
Some of my pajama pants are girls (but don't really look it...only problem is they don't have pockets)
Hang on, thought of another thing. My great-grandmother's christmas sweater that she would wear every year. It smells like her still, and it's the only thing left of her that I have - we were close before she passed away, and when I found it the other day, I just couldn't imagine giving it up.
It now hangs proudly in my closet, next to all the other cool child-sized teenage-boy clothes. :P

(Apologies in advance if my naming products is not allowed..)
At first I used oxy - acne products designed for male skin which wasn't too bad but I went through a local plastic/reconstructive surgery with attached beauty treatment place (?) lol.. The producs are called AspectDR specialised products and have no nasties in them like no sodium lauryl sulphate etc, I also had an LED light treatment which helped immensely and now at their recommendation I am undergoing a series of mild chemical peels (salicyclic acid peel I'm pretty sure) - all treatments geared towards acne. My acne wasnt completely horrendous but I was just sick of constant breakouts. Just FYI shaving with a razor also no good (for me) - always, without fail causes a breakout as it changes the bacteria levels on skin etc. A problem I combat with a) not shaving lol, and b) an electric shaver!!
Some of these are interests and behaviors, but here goes:
- Curious perfume
- Loving the color lavender
- The pink bunny gave to my Granny when I was little. She died holding it and I used to keep it in my car when I had it. I missed a few close calls because of it.
- My love for acting and decorating and photography
- Being afraid of snakes, etc.
- Coloring on boring days
- My senior picture with my dog, Sunshine. I had long hair and makeup on, and it is the last photo I have of her before she died. I hate how I look, but that is the best picture of her, and the only one I have
- Certain dresses. I will never wear them but they have nice memories, and there's only 2 of them.
