Absolutely! I went with a swim skirt until I got my orchi, it worked well enough but yeah much easier now. That pool takeover day sounds so fun! The only tucking swimwear that I’ve found works halfway decent is Leolines (etsy store), but tbh I just don’t like how two-piece swimsuits looked on my body.

Glad I could help! It was so nice finally wearing swimsuits and dresses without feeling self-conscious about tucking
That understanding would be incorrect at least for my case, I can assure you! My partner is a cis woman and we have no issues with that over a year after my surgery.

eliminates the possibility of conceiving children, but if HRT already greatly affects that for you like it did for me, it really wasn’t a trade-off. But everything still works sex-wise
Congrats on the night out! Glad you have such a supportive partner & friends (grew up in rural Ohio so I know what it’s like).
Voice training is super hard! Honestly early on I just had to get used to hearing my voice on a recording and not get overwhelmed. But it was 1000% worth it getting to that point, helped me pass earlier than I thought I would on HRT.
About your spoiler paragraph, there are lots of non-op trans folk out there. I’d recommend looking into getting an orchiectomy if that’s something you’d want.

It completely got rid of any bulges and I no longer have to worry about tucking. Being off Spironolactone is super nice for my body and I can still use all my parts the same as before. I highly recommend it for non-op trans women, it was a super easy operation and recovery - I was walking around after a couple days.
I use shampoo once a week for my wavy hair but all good tips!
When I started E I was exhausted for the first couple weeks. Had to take naps almost every day just to keep up. Just remember that second puberty is taking a lot of energy for your body to initiate, I started feeling less tired around the 4 week mark.
