Title: Subtle transition
Post by: Scorpion on March 16, 2015, 10:59:22 AM
Are there any things that you can do that wont bring much attention to you, or that change little, such as growing hair longer and such.

By the way i think my female name would be "Eva", i like it.

well, ive been trying not to draw too much attention to myself while im at work, but still do some things.  growing out and takign care of my hair, having a clear nail polish on, minor eyebrow cleanup, clear-gel mascara, using some cover up on dark circles under my eyes, and using a lipstick that is a similar shade to what my lips already are, and while i just started hormones within the last week, ive had a bra with inserts on (just a large a-cup) for months now.
dont know why i feel like the A-cup is so big on me just like that, its not noticeable in a mirror or to people looking at me, but when i look down at myself :D  seems huge.

noone has said anything to me about it, and when i came out and informed management the other day they said they hadnt noticed anything.

just some subtle things ive been doing.

Eva is a nice name :) .

You can grow your hair out, and wear it in a ponytail when you want to draw less attention...
you could look for some womens clothing, like plain trousers, and sweaters... second hand stores could be a good source...
you could wear some underwear, that could give you confidence...
