hi, I am Dustin or Dustyrose, still trying to figure that out, though i use the latter everywhere but at home. i joined this forum in high hopes of some help of people who have obviously been where i am. i dont really think i can pull of the whole feminine look, though i would love 2. i will have some pictures up soon, thanks to a friend of mine who talked me into make up, i don't really like them, but she says they were pretty good. i hope to talk to all of you soon , oh and i am 100% open about EVERYTHING, so feel free to ask, no fear .

Hi Dustyrose,
I'm glad to meet you. Many of us here

Quotedon't really think i can pull of the whole feminine look

thing off. But with a little education on makeup, posture, voice and confidence that can change.
I more how you present yourself than it is how you actually look.
If your look for friends and or information about gender issues this is the place.
Please read the site rules if you haven't at:
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,2.0.html if you haven't already.
Then check out the Wiki, with ton of info on the gender topics. Oh and check out our chat and links section too. Have a great read.
Welcome to Susan's.

I am a believer that anyone can at least do 10 major things to help bring a more feminine persona or self. Even many born females have to face certain weaknesses to overcome to be feminine. Although I am not the prettiest or most beautiful, I am proud of how far and how many obsticles I have overcome to present how I am or can be now.

Hi  and welcome to the site.

Hi Dusty and welcome!
I remember being where I thought I could never do it. We're our own worst critics and I do quite well now. I'm sure you do better than you think.
