Why limit yourself to the US? Many other countries, including just about all of the other English-speaking countries, offer more trans rights than the US.

From what I experienced working retail, Frozen merch was very successful amongst Disney properties up until a couple of years ago.

I never encountered the likes of the crossplaying AMABs in the article.

Maybe the kids from that era have grown out of it by now, but yeah it was pretty successful.

Hmm, good question.

I spot checked 3 articles on parents, kids and Frozen, and found 3 different writers.

Although I do have to add that the NYTimes has umm, a weird obsession with Frozen, moreso than other mainstream news orgs that I read.

There's a collection of related articles at the bottom of the article page with titles like:

"My Son Loves Elsa From ‘Frozen.’ I Had to Learn to Love Her, Too"

"The Kids Who Love ‘Frozen’ and the Parents Who Love Them"

"Achieving Transcendence on the Millionth ‘Frozen’ Viewing"

I guess I worded it poorly.

I meant to cleverly say "Don't hate your nose" and apparently failed.

My apologies.

My advice on contouring makeup: don't.

It's like one of those perspective illusion paintings. It only works when viewed from one direction, and looks somewhat unnatural when viewed from any other.

I prefer just making my skin look less flawed with foundation, then following my natural blush areas, adding a little blush color to make the foundation look less pasty.

p.s. Your nose looks fine! ~~Don't do a Michael Jackson!~~ Don't hate it!

There are some stores that are noted for being CD-friendly: M.A.C., Ulta, Nordstroms

You also want to look for a local CD group. This page listing active support groups at the time has been down since 2021, but it's still the best out there. https://web.archive.org/web/20210518050654/http://www.abgender.com/support.htm

They'll know all the "safe" local places, but most importantly is being able to socialize and not feel like you're alone.

edit: Aha! I just found this directory that looks like it's maintained https://tgguide.com/transgender-support-groups/
