Hello Nicole,

I am very curious what you mean by that you transitioned for two years before your surgery. Was hair, clothing, makeup, and bras not part of all that? Was it just a social transition, such as name change, identity documents, and medical records? Were you seeing a gender therapist or mental health professional during this time? What obstacles did you encounter with transitioning, and how were you able to overcome them?

We look forward to knowing more about your journey.

Hi Nicole,

I'm Sarah, 50 from the UK. It's lovely to meet you.

I dumped a load of possibly useless bra info on one of the threads you commented on. Might help you there.

Make up wise there is a section on here all about make up tips so could be worth browsing there but to be honest I have found that a combination of YouTube tutorials and Google Gemini has been invaluable to me for learning makeup. I only really started learning properly since around March time and have made many mistakes along the way! I would recommend taking selfies as you learn and try to do make up everyday if you can. If you have the pics you can work out which styles work best for you. Don't be afraid to experiment too.

Anyway welcome to Susans!

Sarah xx

Hi Nicole,

Learn your skin tone and undertone.  This will help you choose make up colors that look good on you.  It  will also help with selecting clothes.

Contact the stores around you to see if you can get a bra fitting.
It is a very competitive industry so any sales person who is disrespectful will likely be out out a job.

Yes, skin tone and undertone. This is important!

Hi there, Nicole!

Yes, skin tone and undertone. This is important!

Undertone? What is that?

[Stottie Girl]

Hi there, Nicole!



Undertone? What is that?

Your skin can have either warm, neutral or cool undertones. These subtle tones affect what sort of make up (like foundation, concealer etc) suits your skin. You can tell your undertone by looking at your veins. If they are blueish or purple colour that means a cool undertone, if they are greenish in colour that is a warm undertone. If you are somewhere in the middle that is a neutral undertone. Cosmetics usually state what colours are for which undertones to help you get a good match.

[Laura Squirrel]

Ohhhhh! Well, mine look blue. But nowadays, I don't bother with it. The way I saw it, if I can pass in a tiny restroom when being nose to nose with women, I'm fine. I will never, ever believe that someone not tripping out in the women's room is "just being nice". Nah. I don't buy that at all. I've seen far too much hatred in this world to believe otherwise.
