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 :)
Wrong forum (you're in the ftm area). However, welcome anyways and I am moving you to the Introductions....ziiiinnng.

Woops! Thank you simon. Dunno how I got that mixed up.
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.)
Welcome to the boards
Howdy! \m/
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!
Hi Christina and welcome to Susan's.

Hi Christinaaaa, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm from Baaaaston! Grab some snacks and I'll see you around the site, hugs, Devlyn
Thank you gennee, and devlyn!
I appreciate the warm welcomes!
Hello from the Dallas area! What part of the state are you from?
Austin! Dallas is barely texas ;)
I reached the 15 post mark! Now I have a avi! Thats my son and me. Dont mind the go t.
But my brows are shaped.
Do yall think I will pass one day? Keep in mind im 24ยก
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!
Lol I.know that area. I was born in CC off spid!
Thank you :)
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.
Hi its Shannon in Texas too. Hugs and let's stay in touch.
