Just FYI, smoking can lessen the effects of hormone therapy

Congratulations! My turn is next year!

It’s just a few people that really want this. The rest absolutely doesn’t want this.

I made similar experiences. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to see the woman in the mirror (although it’s getting easier every day) but other people especially people who didn’t know me before my transition very quickly only really see me as a woman.

The paths we take can be so different. I came out when I was almost 31 and socially transitioned completely in the following 2 months and then started HRT 4 months after that. I just couldn’t wait to tell everyone about it, haha. It also was very apparent that something changed when I went from full beard to clean shaven after having a full beard for like 10 years.

I always go with a base coat, 1 or 2 colour layers and a top coat to finish it off. The number of colour layers depends on how good the colour is covering the nail.

I find that a good brand of nail polish is worth it as it usually smells better, the colours look better and it’s easier to remove afterwards. My favourite brand is Herzlack, they have a great selection of colours.

As for how often you can wear nail polish: just look at your nails, if they look a bit unhealthy or brittle, take a break with nail polish. I think it’s mostly nail polish remover that can be damaging to the nails but I’m not 100% sure.

I’m talking about this kit: https://frame.work/de/de/products/framework-laptop-13-pro-chassis-kit-graphite?v=FRANKK00A1

Did they say what the full chassis upgrade kit will cost? There is no price in their shop, only a selection for the keyboard language with a price beside it but I doubt that the full chassis kit only costs 200€.

US price is without taxes and the German price is with VAT already included. It’s still more but not as drastic.

Magic 🌈

I think it’s also important to encourage other trans people and show them what’s possible to achieve. Although as always: your mileage may vary.

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you, can’t wait to finally wear it out! 😁

It’s one of the things I was always jealous of so I practised immediately!

I’m glad you think so 😊

Thank you for the kind words! ♥️

That sounds like your T levels were too high during that time.

That is probably it, I also noticed that I don’t have this urge and need to play pen & paper RPGs where I could try myself out in a female role, now I just play female characters and have fun playing. I don’t quite know how to put it in words, I guess the best way to describe it is that playing pen & paper RPGs seems optional now and not mandatory anymore to be able to survive (as in “get through the day” and I could barely think of anything else in the week before meeting up with friends to play).

It’s not maintained anymore but there is a fork. Someone else posted the link.

I think I always created a mix of the most attractive character to me and my ideal self. But I noticed since coming out that I’ve gamed less and less and feel less of an urge to dive into worlds in games probably because I don’t need much of an escape any more since starting HRT and planning to do bottom surgery next year.
