Just got back from a convention in a progressive city where I went out of town with no guy clothes at all. Full femme for 5 straight (gay?) days.
So magical that I cried from joy several times. Had a harsh return to reality on the drive home realising that I didn't feel safe getting out of the car at a coffee shop we stopped at in a rural area, so I had someone order my drink for me.
Amazing experience overall, and gives me the confidence to keep trying to live an authentic life.
I got silicone breast prosthetics a few weeks ago, and at this point, I only take them off to shower and get changed. I wore them to work (trades) for the first time this week. They make for a sizeable amd definitely noticeable difference, but people either didn't notice it, or asked if I felt better with them, which I 100% do. Right now, I'm sitting in my car, inexplicably exhausted, getting really annoyed by how they are either pulling on my bra straps or on my chest and feeling glad I can still take my boobs off when I get home 😆
Regular exercise has shown results; I have a #BUTT!
It is small, but distinguishable from my thighs and back!
That and arm/leg muscles that are slightly visible without flexing. I am lucky in that i build muscle very easily, this is the two month ish mark.
God loves me, my wife loves me, and (this is the new one) I love myself! Work sucks and church politics sucks and American politics sucks, but my joy transcends all that, I am loved!
Good, how good it can be for closeted trans girl. At least stoichiometry is much clearer now :3
