Marc, if they've changed so much for the worse, maybe you should go back to therapy and try to find out what happened, it's crazy that they've done such a complete 180... I feel for you though, man. I'm not looking forward to coming out to my Catholic mother...
Also, you def look bad ass in your pics :)

Marc, wow! That's crazy! That they turned around so much. I second Polo's thoughts on going back to therapy, WITH your parents, and finding out what happened. It seems to weird so me they once WERE supportive and now are totally UNsupportive, not even letting you express yourself as a butch female (which is not great, but much better than a fem female IMHO). How can they force you to wear makeup? Lots of straight cisgirls don't wear makeup, because it's expensive, bad for your skin, and they just appreciate their skin without all the fake ->-bleeped-<- on it. You could maybe tell them you get an itchy skin due the makeup and/or just want to see your face as it is again. You don't have to go full-male/butch right away, but a bit less feminine would be great already, I bet!
And therapy! Your parents (and you!) definitely need therapy and help to fix this. You CAN NOT for ever go on ignoring it, how hard that might be. It will be hard, very hard, especially with parents like yours, but you don't have to do it quick, take your time. We are always there for you to fall back on.

Polo, thanks for the kind words bro! I wish you good luck with coming out! As we both know there's never the right time to come out.. I bet she's more open-minded then my mom though lol. My mother is Catholic (my dad is Muslim)  and the first time i came out to her she was very mad and yelled at me " you'll always be a woman, you have a vagina and you will give birth  and you will have a husband..you came into this world as a woman and you will leave this world as a woman... blah blah", I was devastated after that. I was scared to talk about it. But then at an unexpected moment out of nowhere she started to support me and go to therapy with me. And this year she changed again but for the worst.

Erik, I talked about this with my parents and told them to go to a therapist with me (he's a specialized therapist for transgender individuals he works for a university in my country that is at the top of transgender research) so i'm in very good hands, after our first appointment he already told me and my mom that it's pretty obvious that i'm trans and this was when i was 14 years old, now i'm 18. He said that the legal age for starting T is 16 around here but he said that he could make an exception for me and that he could make an appointment that same week to get my T. My mom wasn't sure about it but i understand because she was just worried what T would do with my body..but as time passed by she became more & more unsupportive. It made me go into a deep depression.  If i wore ANYTHING male they start to yell at me immediately. I can't even buy something if that looks "manly" to them in a girls clothing store. They threw every single "male" clothing item i had away. Which pretty much means my whole wardrobe. So when i bring the therapist up in my house my parents start to yell at me they say that he's a man that works for the devil and that he just wants to bring "us" (trans people) closer to the devil as we are already possessed by the devil. They tell me that they will go to a priest with me but not a therapist so I had to agree with them & oh God that was the worst experience of my life. He spoke as if he knew everything about what it is to be trans. He said the same stuff..(mutilated he she that no one will ever want, those he-shes or even 'it' will only tell you their happy but they are actually unhappy human beings with mutilated genitals that are possessed by the devil, bla bla) so many ignorant things he said. But yeah my parents believed him. Just great  :(

Thank you for all the feedback & support bros i really appreciate it, definitely feels good when you're not the only one struggling  :)

Aye! Love the hair!
What also helps to masculinise your face is to make your eyebrows a bit thicker with makeup. I hardly have any eyebrows myself as well (and they have a very ugly and feminine arch too), so I always blacken them a bit. Be careful not to overdo it though XD Even a guy doesn't want a caveman-brow.

I vaguely remember hearing a girl expressing jealousy of guys' eyelashes and how they generally seemed to be longer and/or fuller than girls'. I wondered about that at the time but didn't say anything. It occurred to me later that guys are hairier in general and so yeah, maybe that goes for eyelashes as well. I bet she wouldn't want all the other hair that goes with it, not when she identifies as a woman. :) I identify male but I suppose body hair is one of those mildly trans things about me. It was the one thing about puberty that really caused me a lot of dysphoria to the point that I went to a lot of expense and effort to get rid of much of it permanently. Eventually I realized that I actually have very little for a guy so it's funny to me that, in my own mind's eye, I was a hairy beast. But I digress. This is not the thread for that. :)

I don't know if it's intrusive for me to post here, since I'm from the other corner of the forums, but I take a peek in the FTM section now and then. Just browsed over this thread and must say a lot of you guys look very good. I hope that it's not constraining for anyone that I'm saying this, I looked at the pictures as if I were looking at any guy and yes, definitly great results some of you have been having! =)

Stay handsome!

I hate pears! The consistency is so disturbingly gritty when you're chewing them. Ew.

I hate to go off topic but I gotta agree whole heartedly. Their texture is terrible.

Haha, same. Ugh it's so true. I love the taste but the texture is so off-putting.
