- Dangly Earrings.
- High-heeled shoes that let me really swing my hips when I walk.
- Tucking things away with some tight panties and wearing snug fitting pants/shorts over them for that smooth look.
- Pulling the girls together with a sticky-bra to help create cleavage where there is otherwise none, lol.
- Ohhh, mmm, waist cinchers or corsets...

Talking about boys with my mom and sisters!

I thought of some other things that make me feel feminine, but in an indirect way:
* Not getting picked to do a physically demanding task or chore.
* No longer being invited to hang out with the guys when our family gets together
* knowing that I'm not strong enough to protect myself; feeling fragile

Relaxing. Looking at shoes and clothes online. Collecting patterns and materials for those someday dress projects. Daydreaming about crushes. Having my living space clean and pleasant smelling. Lace curtains. Connecting on an emotional level with other people. Being skinny (haven't been that for a few years). Candles, baths. You know, the usual stuff.

Honestly for me it's simply any time I feel like I want to express my self, or when I feel like I'm expressing my self. It could be something as unrelated like putting a poster up in my room or office of a movie or game I like.

Very nice!  These activities are ' happy place' material :-)

Yeah but don't some of the things you experience make you feel more feminine than the rest??

my undergarments
enjoying scented candles
shopping for clothes and going into the women's changing rooms
and most especially being included by other women as one of the girls

Yes! That is such a wonderful and safe place to be, in the company of other accepting women :-)

Shaving my legs. I'm not out to anyone yet, but one of the first things I did after accepting that I was trans was to shave/trim my body hair. It's now a month later and shaving my legs has become a sort of Zen/meditative activity for me.

Yes. Today I searched for such a place while running outdoors, but it was difficult to find one because here is too much crowded or there seemed to be various insects if I see some quiet places. I need to tan my buttocks. Hopefully I can find one near the beach.

Shoes and lots of them. I love high heels and boots!

Lately when I see another female and I feel her vibrations and a wave of emotion goes through me as I identify with her.   I wear padded bras all the time for the past seven years so it feels like I have real phantom breasts.  I have pushed my penis straight back in so is has reduced itself inside.  Occasionally, my testicles are pulled up so it feels like I am wearing a feminine pad which I have in the past.    Every day I feel more and more effeminate.

The other thing that I have done for the past 16 years is to take digital pictures of my feminine self and use them on my computer as wallpaper and screensaver pictures.  I see myself differently depending upon the mood I am, but I have built up a positive feminine image of myself erasing my dyke picture of myself I had in my mind for the first 53 years of my life.    I had real long hair way down to my behind for 11 years while I was identifying as a dyke.

Always a nice feeling if you can get away with it.

Also wearing Great underwear
Going shopping in the girly section
Getting shot of the body hair

Those all work for me.

Last night I watched my Cubbies win the National League Division Series over the Cardinals; I cried I was so happy.  A good cry (which I do often-not out of sadness but simply because emotions) just puts me at ease.  I always think of my mom and all the Cubs games we went to when I was little, especially last night.  I was looking at her picture when we got the last out - it was one of the last ones that we took together.  This was at a minor league game in which I sung the National Anthem.

Shopping for clothes with my wife is a blast, along with a girls night out with some of her friends.  I guess just being me has the biggest and most positive effect.

Skylar, I had to laugh when I read your post about sitting and peeing.  As some of you may know, I'm the patrol supervisor for a police department down here in southern Alabama.  What a pain in the butt for me to sit and pee.  I have to take off six belt keepers, then my duty belt, then hit the bathroom with gun in hand.  Fortunately, I have my own office so I can unload all my gear in there.  Then I have to put it all back on. 

I love it!  lol

Y'all be safe  )

Yes. A merit of wearing skirt is that it is far easier to pee in the bathroom. Yesterday I wore trousers in a long time and just realized how much it is bothersome to take off them.

All the usual things. Heels, skirts, makeup, curling my hair, etc. I don't usually feel very masculine nowadays though

Such a fun topic

- Cute pair of undies
- Listening to dance music (Zedd, Avicii, and Ellie Goulding (girl crush ))
- Curling up on the couch (just a t-shirt and panties), and window shopping online
- Being able to just be me

Just to list a few

At the top of my list would have to be when I had my mammogram at the women's health center of a hospital. Also, besides shaving the legs and arm pits, would be letting my nails grow long, shaping them, then applying clear nail polish to them. They still shine when using a matte finish. Acetone works great as a remover, then re-apply. And, of course, bra and panties.
