To be fair, my therapist place is chill too, but on that one regard they were a bit stuck. It’s unfortunate as they’re one of the best in the country for this stuff.
Also, heh, yeah, the denial beard… I had that too, and exercised extra for the masculine muscles in denial.
I also was very uncomfortable because my experiments with feminine clothing had been extremely dysphoria inducing. It served as a reminder that my body wasn’t the way I wanted, and I was too broke for stuff like breast forms
Yeah exactly, I had the same! I felt like dressing femme while still looking masculine, was like an extra slap in the face that it still didn’t “match”. It was nice, but it was at the same time… yeah no.
For the breast forms, hugs. I would’ve gotten them for you - I have some that I no longer need.
And god, I’m jealous - you got the hrt before the hip bones fused?? Damn. I actually considered HRT when I was 23 (that’s at the border), but unfortunately I wasn’t sure whether my family would’ve been accepting. In hindsight they were, but god, I waited too long… though better late than never. I unironically would consider hip and pelvic widening surgery if that existed.
And yeah same, I’d have started HRT before even appointing if it were over the counter. Fuck the cistem.
I did learn to do makeup, but I don’t bother with eyeliner myself because I find it a hassle. Lipstick and mascara, maybe some foundation, and that’s it for me, basically.
