Title: Friends in texas???
Post by: Christinaaaa on June 21, 2013, 10:35:32 PM
Hello everyone! This is my first post. Yee!
I am currently about to start estro and t blockers to start my transition before I start coming out in public. Im very manly :( lots of body hair wide shoulders and all that also I'm a little chubby so that doesn't help :(( I've tried doing my makeup but I'm not very good at it yet. I would love to find someone local I can connect with and maybe get some pointers from?
Either way I hope to hear from folks here. You are welcome to pm me if you want to talk :)

Welcome Christinaaaa (with 4 "A's").  A warm welcome to you.  We have quite a few Texans on the site.  I am an ex-Dallasite.

I was in high school at the time, and my family moved.  Had something to do with the end of the Ice Age  ;)  (I'm old!)

Lol!  Im only 23 so I missed that ice age I guess.
Its just hot here now.
Im hoping that my age will be a good thing in all this. Even though im pretty masculine. hoping that will be fixed easily by hormones. Knock on wood.
I know facial hair is going to have to be lasered but what about body hair? Will it thin and recess to a female patern? Basically nothing.

I can direct you to the Hair Removal board for a wide variety of topics along that line.  Hair Removal (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,81.0.html)

Facial hair differs from body hair.  Dark hair and light skin respond well to laser removal.  Light-colored facial hair, red, blonde, and gray generally have to be removed with electrolysis.

In my own case, the type of anti-androgen I was on lessened my already sparse body (terminal) hair.  I only have a few vellus hairs on my legs, and very thin torso hair - which is nice, because I hate body hair.

But that is not the norm.  Epilating is an option on non-facial body hair. (Make sure you have a couple of stiff drinks before you try it the first time.)

All my hair is dark and im white but I fish allot so
Pretty tan. I was unblessed with thick chest hair  >:(
I actually shaved my body for the first time last week after I decided to transition. It was a big step for me. And even tho Its noticeable its a huge improvement! I love it. I also shaped my eye brows too. Baby steps for now I guess.
Thank you book worm and ashley!

Welcome from the McAllen/Brownsville/South Padre Island Area (unless I say SPI, most people ask "where?")!

Congratulations on a wonderful child! I hope to have a few of my own one day too!

As to passing Christina, you have good reason to be hopeful! I'm 32 and still have hope for myself, you are in a great place to start!

Welcome christinaaaa!
I know, ran into you elsewhere, and so we've already technically made our introductions. But, i still like official hellos. Don't worry, you have a good chance of passing since you have the right facial structure. Plus, a lot of that actually depends on the smaller things like how you carry yourself and your speech patterns ("may i have a small shake" instead of "gimme a small shake" for example.) Things you can learn. Just don't rush things, you'll be glad you didn't later, And don't forget that everyone's experience varries a bit.
  I hope you enjoy your time here, i doubt you'll find a friendlier or more understanding crowd. And, please don't be afraid to ask for help.
