Hey do you people know any subtle behaviors or quirks of women that I can adopt right now without having to risk coming out or anything major. Like changing the way I walk?

I did toenail painting. It was completely 100% invisible and no one knew until I came out. Interestingly before I came out I started doing my fingernails too and no one seemed to care/notice.

After work and on the weekends I wear panties, most guy jeans are so thick nobody notices or cares. Just don't wear them to the gym or any place where you don't feel comfortable.

I also had girl time after 8:00pm everyday. I would take my dog on her last walk and then change into girl clothes (which you can buy online if it helps).

I also wear women's sleep wear most nights, depending on what you pick it is sooo much more comfortable than my male sleep wear.

I got my ears pierced and nobody seemed to care or notice.

You can shave a lot. I shave completely in all feminine areas. Am thinking of getting a wax melting gizmo so I can wax all those areas and don't have to worry about it for possibly a month or two. Including waxing my face of hair. That would be great for experimenting with.

This could be a good thread. Some things I'm doing more and more is crossing legs in a feminine manner when sitting,
using more "feminine" words beautiful, wonderful etc. I am more open about my feelings, I aknowledge fear, sadness, love etc.
I try to do thing more calmly. Men are more "brutal" when opening doors, sitting down, eating and so on. I try to do things more
slowly and more precise. I think it comes across as more feminine. I smile more. I hug people like a girl would do.

I add new feminine manners like every week. I feel more and more like myself. It's a great feeling. I always wanted to be a warm
loving person doing things in style and with finesse. It's difficult being that kind of person w/o being feminine.

pee sitting down 

(this scores many points with my wife)

Wow this is wonderful!  Great suggestions.   Ive been doing most of these since my teen years.  Currently I have close to no body hair.  I take baths and keep myself smooth.  I try to dress in womans clothing under my everyday clothes.  I paint my toenails.  I use flat clear nail polish on some of my fingernails and grow them a little.  Behind closed doors I dress in whatever seems pretty.

All this helps but being in tune with how you feel is the most important.   Just be you accept yourself for you.  Dont worry about the labels so much.  Those some from the outside world.  So like me, been dressing/acting more fem since childhood, just accept that you like what you like.  There are women that talk like men and men that talk like women.   

This is a great subject to talk about.  I'm making my changes to the outside world slowly.  Especially around those I know.  So the little things the everyone suggests are a big help! 

Hi all, thank you redshift1 for starting this thread...

So as soon as i came out to my wife i started last hair removal (lhr) of my beard.   I've since added underarm,  chest,  stomach down to my bikini line and hands.   I switched to wearing panties full time.   Growing my hair out and keeping it in a more feminine style.   I now wear skinny jeans (men's and women's, as long as they don't give me away yet so no fancy embroidery).  My wife and I got matching interlocking heart pendants which look very feminine,  I wear mine all the time and don't hide it one bit.  I've also been trying to buy new tops but only buy clothing that's more androgynous leaning toward feminine.   My wife is helping there, but she won't let me buy any woman's tops with buttons yet to wear to work, too obvious at this point.  I wear t-shirt style nightgowns to bed and around the house (kids have not said anything yet).

I also have begun to show my feminine side by adjusting my walk, sitting posture,  How I cross my legs and feet.  Slowly adding more feminine hand gestures.

At home the other day I wore a pretty purple head band around the house, got a few strange looks and a couple of quick questions from the kids.  I wore it again last night and not one question was asked and I didn't get one strange look, they just accepted it.

I've filed, sanded and polished my finger nails smooth, no one at work has noticed.

I'm currently planning to get my ears pierced in February when i start hrt.  I'm also trying to find a few pairs of woman's shoes that i can wear while in boy mode without it being to obvious.

Anyway just like transtastic I too keep trying  to add more feminine mannerisms each week,  including vocabulary.   

Oh and I also switched to peeing sitting down 100%, now that I tuck everyday 24/7.

Every time I reveal something more feminine in my daily routine the more genuine I feel.

A few more when I came to think of it...
Try not to occupy a lot of space when sitting, keep arms close to the body.
Hand in front of mouth when coughing, yawning and I don't do it but it would look very femme with hand in front of mouth when
surprised or laughing etc.
Also, become a vegetarian!

I decided to present female anytime I was not at work.

I want to do this. Any suggestions on types that are more or less comfortable?

That is beautiful, I love that idea.

It's great, I don't know why I didn't do it before! If you don't mind my asking, are you able to "go" while tucked? I've never tried, though I am interested to try, but I don't really have a good idea about the finer points.

Me too. I hadn't thought about how many little but significant things one can change without becoming conspicuous. It always felt like the slightest thing would get funny looks, but it doesn't seem to be that way. This is all so new to me that I have some anxiety about whether I'm really doing the right thing. But every time I take another little step, I feel more me, and want to take the next step even more.

Paint your nails. Use clear nail polish if you don't want people to notice.
Wear underwear. Heck, wear a bra too. Worn properly few will notice (unless you want to be noticed).
Wear pantyhose and tights below your clothes if you like those.
Shave all your body hair. Legs and arms especially. When I shaved my arms I couldn't stop looking at them for a good few days.
Dress up femme at home. Does wonders. I am full femme at home most times (except when I'm doing home renovations or car repairs/maintenance and don't want to dirty my good clothes).


Some that may be a bit more daring:
Wear women's jeans. Some are similar to men's but they fit differently. They always fit me better actually.
Wear v neck t shirts, women's. Wear women's t shirts in general?
Wear women's shoes that don't look too obvious.
Wear eyeliner... I can't begin to tell you how many times I've worn eyeliner in guy mode, even.

I like briefs and hipsters. Hanes cotton is what works for me. Make sure you get your proper size. The pack usually has size guidelines. I have a few silk ones and they are OK but for most everyday wear I prefer cotton.

You're really only tucked when you have your underwear on. You'll have to re-tuck after you do your business. Sometimes I don't even bother tucking, depending on what I'm wearing. If I'm wearing tight pants, sure I'll tuck and it looks nice and flat. If I'm wearing a skirt I will do a minimal tuck. If I'm wearing jeans I won't make much effort tucking since the bulge isn't really noticeable.

Most people do not pay attention to you. So enjoy yourself, be yourself.

If youre working out at home or out running even.... yoga pants!   

Id be careful with the bra thing.  I did that and someone patted my back and noticed.

Shampoos, lotions, anti bacteria, hand soaps, hair care, perfume. ...as girly as you can get away with.  Then discard all male smelling stuff.

That's true. But I try to keep people away from there anyway. I don't like pats on the back or similar and I avoid them.
