I wore a cute green dress with black leggings and new gray shoes for the first time in public yesterday. And I did my eyeliner with PROPER wings vs blotchy ones. So that was nice. Tho I was unnerved the whole time, likely bc I was walking alone in public and didn’t want confrontation. And BC it was my first public femme appearance. My cis girl friend was proud for me , so I got that going haha

• I dyed my hair and painted my nails and now my bigot mother FINALLY stopped talking to me, BC I’m not the (and I quote) “man she rose me to become.”
• needless to say, I am VERY happy. Had I known this would have happened, I would have delved into cosmetics a LOT sooner.
• edit: no idea how to do line breaks on jerboa so that’s why I’m using bullets.

Talking to someone in times of stress is SUPER helpful! There’s nothing wrong with reaching out, no matter what gender you identify as! We want you to be successful and supported. Nobody said you had to do this alone.

I wanna add something!!!

You’re strong and amazing. I’m so proud of you. We’re here for you as best as we can. Much love and positive vibes!!!

Yay! Super happy for you!!

Eyeliner is fantastic, I love wearing it too! I recently bought some eye shadow and lip stuff from SugarPill, excited to wear it when it arrives! Best of luck with your journey, we’re glad to have you!

I have no clue what i am doing either, i go with the flow. Lately i habe been picking out tops that make me feel confident and accentuate my figure. I like to be colourful too, greens and oranges galore!

Yup! Growing up with two cis females, they would complain about sizing issues sooooo much. I forgot, and I ran into this personally when i bought a handful of femme shirts online, all xl. One was a med, one was Large, other was XL. Very frustrating.

I am on the same journey! Let me share my tips.

1. Thrifting / second-hand clothes are a great starting point. It allows you to dip your toes into femme clothes shopping without blowing a hole in your budget.

2. Shop with a close friend. I personally have a cis female helping me out when I shop in person for femme clothes. Getting real-time feedback helps soooo much!

3. Be cautious about size options from online retailers. A Large shirt from company X may be different than a Large shirt from company Z. This is a known “feature” of femme clothing.

Dont worry too much about a specific style. Find clothes that resonate and make you happy and confident.
