I’m wondering if that’s going to change once I get on E. It’s possible I just have (literally) thick skin.
Ex-egg. Turns out wishing you were a girl does work.

Looking at a chart I guess maybe ash blonde? It started almost white when I was very young (and bits of it are heading that way again). Facial hair is a bit more of a dark reddish-brown.
If I end up prepping for SRS, I think that’s going to have to be electrolysis (TMI? sorry)
I have already altered the deal gender; pray I do not alter it any further.
That’s cool; you do you!
“What, these? No, they belonged to the last guy to misgender me.”
That’s a very good way to put it; I know exactly what you mean. (There should be PSAs on TV for this kind of thing: hey, kids! If you experience this, you’re probably trans!)
I’ve always (until very recently, of course) really hated buying clothes. One of the factors leading up to my egg-crack was my wife (justifiably) nagging me that my clothes were all falling apart and I really needed to get some new ones. She even very kindly offered to order some for me online. But I just… couldn’t. The idea of buying and wearing this stuff wasn’t something I could recognize in myself. And, at last, I realized that there might be something bigger going on.
That’s genius! Just watched a tutorial, and I’m going to destroy some T-shirts!
I wonder if it would look good over a tank top? Still haven’t quite figured out the “layers” thing.
Haha, alright. I’ll try to get a shot with Blåhaj :3
Hooray! Good luck!
Oh! Good idea!
I should get some pretty belts 🤩
Yeah, it lets the cats come in and out of the bedroom at night without having to open the door for them.

The label’s in Chinese, but the internet tells me it’s 60% Rayon. (I got it as part of my shotgun “buy everything cheap and girly on Amazon” experiment)
Now that you mention it, the collar might be why I don’t feel too stupid wearing it. I’m used to seeing my face sitting above a collar, but the whole thing is obviously feminine which keeps the dysphoria at bay.
Yay, thanks for the update!
🤣 Damn it, I thought I hadn’t posted any photos online…
Same! I know there must be some kind of selection bias, but it’s encouraging.
Given that I currently look like a recently-shaved walrus in a dress, if I’m not supermodel-grade this time next year, who do I speak to about a refund?
There’s an important difference between recognizing that things are better / easier now, and ridiculing people who transitioned in a less supportive environment, particularly for their appearance. The latter would seem like a pretty bad attitude to me; perhaps your comments come across with a nuance that you didn’t intend?
Hopefully future generations will be more understanding and look at us with sympathy and compassion rather than mockery.
Ouch! That reminds me of one of the episodes which led to my egg cracking…
Scene: me, out drinking with some friends who just happen to all be women (no hint there, obviously). Fairly well-oiled at this point.
Me: Since everyone else is a girl, maybe I should just become one too, ha ha!
Fren (surprised): Where did that come from? Are you transgender? That’s cool if you are, I’m bi by the way.
Me: Ha ha no, only joking, just felt like the odd one out that’s all, let’s change the subject right now…
Me (to self): fuck fuck fuck where did that come from, I mean I do want to be a girl, but cis people don’t say that kind of thing, dumbass
Get home; wake up with hangover and gender crisis.
Fingers crossed! Let’s show that beard the door 👉
