Title: Eh... Everyone else posts pictures... Why not?
Post by: PrincessCrystal on October 23, 2016, 12:08:29 AM
So, this'll pretty much out me to anyone living in the same town as me, but I feel like every other transgirl on here posts some photos, so I suppose I should show you girls some of me from that first night I "started transitioning"  Basically, I cleaned up the apartment, got some supplies, and invited some friends over so I could hang out as a female to see how I felt.  We took pictures to send to one of my boyfriends, who lives in Canada and can't come see me in person, and these are some of the ones I picked.  I like how I look somewhat cute in these, and it makes me hopeful for how I'll look after a few months of hormones...

You look happy, and this can justify all of it.
BTW, it seems warm there. You live in the southern hemisphere?

Her eyebrows might be on the heavy side but I think they look attractive on her.  Not everybody looks good with ultra thin eyebrows.

I tend to agree. They are heavy in a good Brooke Shields sort of way. I like them. Nice to see another Florida girl. :)

See, I'm afraid to go too far with things like that because 1) my stage persona is known for this wild, animalistic, "insane person" look, and the eyebrows complete that when I fluff them, and 2) I'm afraid of major cosmetic changes, and will probably never get any extreme FFS, just because I don't want to set an example that people need plastic surgery to be loved and love themselves to the abused youth and drug addiction community that I'm a role-model in.

Like I said, it's already kind of... out.  I mean, other musicians have asked me what pronouns I prefer and at this point I'm just waiting to be approached by a stranger after a show like "hey, did I see you as a girl the other day?"  When you're a public figure, like the frontman of a punk band and an activist, you don't really get to have private activities...

If I may say, I didn't notice your eyebrows were terribly bushy until others pointed it out. But, I have known numerous cis women who have eyebrows far bushier. But the important thing is: If it fits your stage persona and it's something you like, rock it! There is really No One True Way, and what matters most is that YOU are happy with how you look. It doesn't do much good if you're not, right? So, rock on, gorgeous. :)
