Felt like shit all day and had a guy on an epower-bike ride circle around me while trying to get me to stop walking my dog and talk to him so, cute selfie time to make myself feel better.
Fourth injection done and some more intimate changes.
My nipples have become very tender and easily sore, and I seem to have a jiggle physics update, my very slight boobs jigged a bunch while going down stairs (I already had sort of breasts because of my naturally low testosterone levels). I’m so excited to start developing tiddies!
I told it in chat but I figured this thread might enjoy this story as well so today I called a dermatologist, you know I figure I’ll get a few things checked before I start hitting the E. Maybe ask a few skin care and hair related questions, make sure my lifetime of sunburns isn’t gonna cause me any troubles, you know normal shit. So I’m talking to the receptionist and they’re telling me that they’re booking out past fuckin December which like can’t do anything guess I’ll schedule it, but I ask anyways. “hey is there any way I can get you to like priority let me know for any canceled appointments cause i wanted to do this before I transition”. To which the receptionist asks “by transition what do you mean?”, and I simply reply “oh M to F transition…” awkwardly leaning towards expanding on what I mean. To which he cuts me off and responds “oh, I’m F to M” and apparently that was the fuckin magic question, cause he immediately let me know that they actually have a specialist on the team for just such an occasion that specifically keeps slots open for us and that’s how I jumped the line from December to June.

Sure is dusty in here... *sniff*
Cluck cluck, gibber gibber, my old man's a mushroom, etc.
My boobs are coming in much faster than anticipated. Tomorrow is my fifth injection, and in the last two days they've actually grown quite a bit. Left is slightly bigger than the right, and is like... a firm handful. Still haven't started to develop into proper breasts yet (haven't gotten the some of the signs of breast buds or the like) so I assume it's just fat re-distribution, but it's still very heartening. Also has made shaving my chest harder, as it's so damn jiggly.
I found a couple friends in the community that have been a major help in my life. When I'm at work I don't shy or feel anxious when I have to tell someone I'm non-binary, and am more comfortable explaining it to those who ask.
Oh hey this story has been sitting in a draft for weeks
So there’s this store in the middle of Salem. A shop I would walk past every day of my commute into Boston and every time I walked basically anywhere. Every time I would walk by I would steal longing glances at the dresses on display, and I didn’t know why. Sometimes I wondered if I was fucked up and like creeping on mannequins or something, or would just comfort myself, ‘you just like fashion’. You could tell the girls in town that shopped there immediately because of its stylistic distinction, even if I didn’t recognize the print I would recognize the cuts and silhouettes and accessories from the shop.
a couple weeks ago I finally went in to that store with one of my friends and I tried on dresses and skirts and sweaters for over an hour. Everyone in that store was so supportive. Like when I would come out in a new fit literally all of the girls near the dressing room doors in that store would tell me how good it looked, or rightly agree at its midness (this is important, you can tell when the one coming out of the dressing room likes or doesn’t like it and responding properly to reinforce the decision they’ve already made is the social interaction you’re looking for). Like other shoppers included in this, I’d end up with their opinion before my friend’s. I paid for half of the damage with a gift card my soon to be ex wife gave me for our last Valentine’s Day/my Birthday.
Before we went there, I went to a friend’s vintage shop and I like drive by came out to them on the way into the shop with multiple pairs of heels in mine and my friends hands (so you can see how the clothes dress with the changes heels give you). Like saw em at the register waved and said hi like normal, quickly introduced my friend, and then kept walking to a section I was trying to hit (but had gotten cleared out). Had to like take a lunge back, and was just like, ‘hey guys, btw, I’m trans as fuck, that’s why I’m about to go try on a bunch of women’s clothes”, and darted off. Now I did it like that because those two guys are married and super cool so I knew it wouldn’t be like a big thing they basically both said congratulations in unison before I said thanks as I made that escape. One of them came over to pronoun and name check me at one point while I was browsing an evening gown that I did not try on. To do something special, as I was closing out they pointed me towards a rack of jewelry and told me to pick something out, which gave me the fancy lady pendant (literally it’s a glass or resin avon pendant with an old timey fancy lady like embossed into it) that perfectly complemented every single thing I got from the other dress shop.
Between this, getting a bunch of hand me downs from an aunt (who definitely thought she was handing stuff down to my soon to be ex as we combed through her closet and my ex kept secretly checking with me on what to shove in her bag) I now have a workable wardrobe to pull many outfits from across multiple seasons when I actually head out in fem clothes.
Extra addition: yeah I’m just wearing these to work now, and out to do shit around town. Fuck it.
Also today I am coming out to my direct teamates at work. Just to you know clear up any confusion about my wearing full fem looks to work on the regular. Still not doing makeup. Probably gonna ask a friend to bring me out to help with that.

I love all but one detail of this story. That one I hope you are doing well with. Everything else brings so much joy to my heart.
No real changes for me on week six. Mind I may have screwed up my fifth injection, as the estrogen went in super easy as opposed to normal where it takes a little bit to inject because it’s so viscous. But hopefully that will change now that I’ve got injection six in me nice and proper.
Been a bit emotional, kind of determining if I want to try continuing things with my current partner which hasn’t been helping. Been crying a lot more than I have ever before, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing . Did make friends with a beautiful trans woman recently, so that has been nice.
Lurking this thread but Sleep, if you live in Salem, you gotta go to Modern Millie
Gorgeous vintage style, alt, and goth dresses and accessories! Ordered from them once or twice but I also use them as a sort of conglomerate of labels I can order direct from after seeing some amazing outfits they put together
I guess presuming this isn't that shop you're describing, anyway, it sounds of a Type

Well it's a cool enough store some random in Canada loves it so *excellent* first pick, frankly
Oh also got the weirdest compliment this past weekend
We had a friend in town visiting and she’s a lesbian. She was taking us out to a baseball game and I had decided to just go masc for it cause skirts in Fenway just doesn’t sound like a thing I want to do ever. So I get ready and come out of my room and my friend looks at me and almost immediately says, ‘you know you look like a butch lesbian right? Cause I thought you were aiming for masc and uh I didn’t know if you knew that you didn’t exactly hit that.’
I don't think I know of anyone who trims their eyebrows and never fucked them up. It's like a rite of passage
At least they generally grow back pretty quickly, or makeup can thicken them up right quick

I think I went a little to far up but nobody has said anything also one side is very uneven and the comb did not stop the buzzer like I expected

I got eyebrow tattoos years ago so I just shave mine all the way off.
I never liked my real brows (they made my face look too masculine) and I'm too lazy to shape them, it got old fast.
If people ask I just tell them I had an accident involving a flame-thrower/lasers, which as a physicist, isn't that far from the truth. 👩🏻🔬🔬
Oh hey I may have found a girl to teach me makeup. She’s a girl I know because she worked at the coffee shop I went to all the time years ago and I couldn’t help but compliment her wild October makeup set she did so we’d talk every now and again, just kinda cordial villager shit. Nothing deep. Like the most outer ring of friendship. Even kept up when she moved to a different shop in town. Tonight I ran into her at a drag show out of nowhere, I ended up going out for a smoke with her and awkwardly asked if she would teach me how to do makeup, and she got excited and said she would love to. Then she handed me her phone to text myself so she would have my number. At which point I, having just smoked a bowl, auto pilot text the number I am most used to putting into things. Which is not my phone number. And that’s the story all about how I texted my ex from the first number I have ever collected out at a bar.

I want to learn how to braid my hair but I want somebody to physically help me out with and not just muck about with mirrors and youtube videos but my partner doesn't know how to do it and all of our friends are short-hairs.

Ever made friendship bracelets or hemp necklaces? Cause that’s basically all you need for a braid

I mean you probably learned to tie at least a few knots during your time in the service, braiding hair is kind of the same thing where eventually you get a feel for whatever braid your doing and it then just becomes practicing enough that it feels like second nature repeating the pattern instead of constantly thinking of it.

Any three bits of string would work for practicing the concepts of braiding. It is mechanically simple and just requires a bit of practice to do. Fancy braiding is a whole other thing but all seems built on the same basics just used in slightly more intricate ways.
And then just translate those movements to behind your head
In my experience, that's the hard part.
Very much so. It takes a lot of practice to get it just right. There is a reason it is so typically shown as a communal bonding/grooming exercise. The good news is that it comes out easily so you can practice in private as much as you like.

Not a fan of such greasy moisturising creams myself though. And I pretty much never wear make-up in summer.
