A lot of us experience dysphoria about a lot of things. Personally, one of my biggest points of dysphoria is my facial/body hair and masculine sounding voice.

We believe this should be a community where all trans people are welcome to give and receive support on their journey.

Feel free to rant about what's been bothering you and try and comment on someone else's comment with some encouragement! It can really go a long way to brightening someone's day!

Love to all my trans brothers, sisters, enbies and all other flavors of people who live as they are ❤️

I went for clothing that was a bit more unisex in nature and then having some "accessories" to femme things up (or masc things up if I'm having a rough self conscious day)

So examples would be experimenting with different colors on you. So before my egg cracked, I just wore grey, black and navy blue. Very drab and unapologetic.

Now I wear all sorts of colorful pieces. Pink, purple, maroon, whatever looks good for my skin tone.

Also, you can femme up most outfits with a nice cardigan and if you're feeling extra cute, a nice necklace or bracelet. Still femme but a little less "noticable" If anything, I'm probably clocked as gay or queer but not specifically trans yet.

Now, once my boobs grow in that'll be a different story but it's a good transitionary approach to wardrobe.
