If you want the feminine figure fast, I got shapewear with hip pads and silicone breast forms because I'm an impatient little freak. 😜 The hip pads definitely help with a curvier shape and support a tuck really well, and I have found breast forms make my incredibly broad shoulders basically a non issue. If those are things that make you experience dysphoria, those are options if you need a crutch.

A friend of mine also uses a henson razor, and I got to try it out (with my own blade) a little while ago. Miles better than a cheap safety razor, but not really better than the cheap dollar store venus razors I normally use. Not sure if it's simply because I wasn't used to it or not tho.

First off, I didn't see anyone link the gender dysphoria bible in the comments, and it was absolutely massive for me to read. Linkie

As someone who just cracked her egg a few months ago, I can tell you talking to my wife was the biggest aid for me to figure out what I wanted. A lot of your experience aligns pretty closely to mine, so you're not alone there. My wife also thought she was bi, but without telling me, determined she was straight because only male me turned her on, but after I worked out that I was trans, she had to rethink her own sexuality and realized she's actually demi, because the idea of me as a woman still turns her on and nobody else does. I won't lie, it was a rough week for us, especially seeing as we're coming up on 10 years being together, and we're eachother's only adult relationship, so the possibility of our marriage ending was terrifying, and seemed like it might happen. Coming out was the most anxiety enducing experience of my 31 years on this planet, but I would do it again in an instant if I had to.

Miraculously, my wife and I wear the same size clothes despite a full foot difference in height, so she got me to try her clothes, which really helped cement in my mind that I wanted to dress feminine.

I'm not on e yet, just spiro, so no boob as of yet 😭 so I went online and got silicone breast forms and I'll tell you, going from no boobs to needing a bra to support D's (which, if my mom and sister are any indication, I should end up in that realm🀞) without the slow ramp up in weight to strengthen the muscles you use regularly to hold youself upright has been rough. I wanted my bra off pretty regularly, but I can't take it off without going back to no boobs. Less of a hug and more like a waiter for me lol. You have to have the awkward small talk, but they bring you food!

I'm in the exact same boat right now! My wife got me out of the apartment in women's clothes for the first time a couple days ago, and when we bumped into someone she was in school with, she introduced me as her spouse and we had talked about using the word wife, and i thought I'd be fine with it, but I was shocked by how much it stung! Dysphoria is weird, and I keep saying meat was not meant to think lol

I am in a state of absolute shock. I can't believe there are people who hate pointlessly in this world /s

I'll take a look at that brand! Thanks!

The trick of wearing the front of the gaff lower than I expected seems to have done what I needed! I thought ordered a hipster gaff, but it appears I got something closer to a slingshotπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈI was intending to return it if I didn't like it after trying it on for a minute, but because of my hyperfixation, it's been wedged up my ass for days, so I guess I have a really minimal gaff now!πŸ˜…

I'm pretty sure I'm good on that front lol

I was this close 🀏 to going out to costco tonight tucked in my gaff and a pair of my wife's bike shorts, but I was too nervous about a ball popping out and being rather obvious and chickened out

 

I have been trying every evening for the last few days to get a good tuck for an hour or two, but no matter what I do, my balls pop out of place in short order. I tried doubling up on panties and that was decent, but things still wouldn't sit still, and now I have a gaff I've been practicing with. With panties, it feels like they're just not putting enough pressure to keep my sack in place and keep my balls up, and with the gaff, but also to a lesser degree my panties, the crotch is so narrow, my sack will inevitably hang out one or both sides enough that a ball can pop out and hang out in there instead. I haven't tried tape yet because I have done 0 hair removal because I'd rather get that area done professionally at least for the first time, and shaving has always resulted in a red, irritated mess, down below, or on my face. I don't know if I just have a particularly large and fleshy sack that refuses to be contained or what, but if you have any tricks you use, I'll try anything right now.

 

I had my epiphany moment about 2 weeks ago, and that lead me to explore any resources I could find to help me determine if I was actually trans or just conforming with my friend group, which has an abundance of trans girls. I've considered the question of my gender dozens of times over the years, and always came to the conclusion that I was a man, and I was happy with that, but in retrospect, I was probably just telling myself that because I wasn't "allowed" to be trans because it would take attention and support from my trans friends. The experiences I read here, and especially the link to the gender dysphoria bible let me finally identify what I had been feeling was wrong my whole 31 years of life without knowing what was wrong, like the guy from spongebob who's just standing there on fire. Since then I figured out I am a woman, and because of that I was able to come out to that friend group, I'm sharing clothes with my wife, using a new name and she/her pronouns, I shaved my denial beard, and I've been able to cry. So. Much. Crying. As a man, in almost 10 years since my wife and I started dating, she saw me cry 3, maybe 4 times, but I have been a goddamn wreck since I started questioning because of all the gender euphoria and worry for my wife, who I am forcing to question her sexuality. She previously identified as bi, but felt more and more straight because she only felt attraction to me, but she has started fantasizing about how I'll physically be in the future and is getting more turned on than usual, so the scared tears are over for now and we are still very much in love. It has been an intense, insane, exciting, terrifying, and validating 2 weeks, and without the information from all of you, I would still be in limbo and more confused than ever, so thank you all so much for existing in this community and sharing what info and experiences you can! πŸ’•
