Just left the dust gross buthole of texas, and now love my new home in the Minneapolis Metro,and that's despite not having found the right combo of housing/job. I live in my car and have never felt more safe (from antitrans hate) than now.

can't really leave that recommendation without qualifying it: thats probably of because I'm not a POC. I do have interactions with the police fairly regularly. And i'm accutely aware of my privilege each time.*

Yay! More of us! More of us!

Ya look great, love the glasses hun!

Wonderful news! Its lovely to see so many people gain more freedom and equality in such a concrete way.

Lets see the mental contortions the right wing tries to make about this, i'll grab my popcorn...

Hear hear! I did just that last year from TX to MN.

Infinitely better.

Im surprised left of right media hasn't seemed to remembered the lesson we learned the first time the dork ran.

There is no lead, because polls don't matter and we haven't voted yet. Polling is just news media for the town gossip.

I wish I could be a tenth as happy as you seem. I'm stuck with just gross ones from just a horrible relationship with food all my life.

I've never said this before, but we should put a TW on this. I didn't want to read this rn, and wouldn't have if I'd have known. (I thought it must be some other thing that just was being called stretch marks or something)

🥺 i hope you are able to find a way out.

You may be safe exploring some androgynous/unisex emo/punk expressions. The whole "Man with long hair" look is common enough that signaling a few "Hippie" or Hipster or maybe emo/punk themes (I.E. dark hair, dark clothes,or even monochromatic clothes, etc) should more than "cover" you.

For something just around the house in private, I'd actually recommend going to a thrift shop and finding inexpensive clothing that fits you. Some thrifts won't let you try things on, so when the "hold it up" method doesn't help, coming with your correct measurements will make things go smoothly. Also, in the event your safety is coming into question, ditching your clothes when they're thrifts at least reduces the financial trauma.

Good luck, stay safe!

And what kind of styles/scenes are you trying to fit?

[–] KillingAndKindess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Thats totally valid. Makeup scared me even though I used some during my "maybe I'm just a falmboyant man" phase. If you ever do feel comfortable giving 1-2 things a try in the makeup Dept. then I would recommend buying a 12-16$ mascara from your local drugstore. Mascara on the eyelashes goes such a long way into femme for how little it is.

What length of hair are you working with?

Fair point. I guess I was using femininity and femme interchangably without realizing it. Not all women express their femininity through being femme.

If you're looking for tips on femme styling or makeup, I can maybe help you out. I've somehow come to terms with, and even like, how femme I've made this later in life 6ft frame of an ogre.
