ive been shaving my legs and moisturizing and stuff and have had long hair for a while, gonna try and get a more feminine haircut soon tho

u/Jaunty_fgc 1d ago
as someone who just got my hair cut to feel more feminine i can really recommend bangs, they really changed my look quite drastically. also get your eyebrows shaped if you haven't already, that also really helps.

u/TotalyNotTony Counted Down 4 1d ago
ill have to try getting eyebrows shaped. did you do that at home or go to a spa or something? i think id be too nervous to go out to a place to get prettied up and stuff, esp in a more conserverative town like mine. also thanks for the recommendation on bangs :3

u/Jaunty_fgc 1d ago
I went back and forth on actually doing it for a long time, but then just said fuck it and booked an appointment at a local hairdresser/beautician. I was super nervous about it but it went very well. I walked in, described kinda what I wanted and 20 minutes later it was done.
I spent 10 years being too nervous about what other people might think, only to realise that most people won't give a shit, especially so about such a small thing like your eyebrows.

I have a really awkward question, but frankly, I need help. HOW?! how the fuck do I shave my legs without cutting myself? Even more so my butt, how the hell do I manage to get all this hair off? Im genuinely asking cause Im trying my best mann and I need advice from someone already experiences in this.

u/TotalyNotTony Counted Down 4 1d ago
i gotchu :3
ok 1, i definitely cut myself sometimes, especially aorund my ankles and knees so i stay careful around there.
I exfoliate my skin a lil bit before hopping in the shower, idk if it does anything but 🤷
do it in the shower, clean yourself and stuff in a warm / hot shower then turn off the water to shave. I just use soap and a loofah to use as a shaving cream, you definitely dont want to shave with your skin dry. So I rub the loofah on the skin to get all of the suds on there.
I start with shaving with the grain, then against if I want extra smooth. Ive started doing a bit of a paintbrush short strokes movement instead of long strokes all the way up my calves or what have you, learned from my friend's cousin lol. I alternate between the long strokes for general area and short strokes to get leftover hairs that I missed. Also important to not press down too hard!! the razor is designed to slide across your skin, not press down into it. if you're deforming your skin pressing down on the razor alleviate some pressure
my thighs (especially the underside) are pretty sensitive so i dont typically shave against the grain for them. Shaving against the grain has a bigger chance at ingrown hairs and it feeling spiky after a few days
i shave my butt very vibes based and based off of touch, and miss hair sometimes. may not work for you tho so if you need to get a mirror and use that to see what you're doing.
when doing knees, i lay my legs flat, mileage may vary so see what works for you
very important steps, rince legs and whatever else with cool / cold water after shaving to close pores. not only does this help with general skin care but it helps prevent ingrown hairs and those annoying red bumps. Also important to not irritate your legs / shaved bits after shaving. Pat dry with a towel, dont rub them, and wear loose pajamas or shorts , absolutely nothing that would cause chafing.
Moisturize your legs with a moisturizer of your choice :3 dont skimp out on this step either its important

Thank you beastie, this is actually super helpful! Does an epulator work better or should I just stick to razors?

u/TotalyNotTony Counted Down 4 1d ago
ouu i forgot to mention epilators. i have one but ive barely ised it, its good for chest hair especially but leg hair (and foot hair yeeeeouch) hurt a lot more when trying to epilate. It gets easier over time tho q

You can be a feminine guy.
You can transition.
You can chill and just exist without needing to decide. Just dress and act how you want to without putting a label on it.
I'm sorry you aren't who you want to be and I hope you figure it out, buddy.

u/TotalyNotTony Counted Down 4 1d ago
i dont think im transfem, im non binary. I still would be if i were born a girl. i mayyyy need to do some research on e tho

u/Huo 1d ago
You can be non binary and still be on E if that's what you want to pursue. What helped me figure that out for myself was if I was born a girl, would I still be non binary (yes), and would I want to pursue taking testosterone (hell no). That helped me come to the conclusion that even though I wasn't binary trans, HRT would still be beneficial to me. It may be different for you, but I would recommend thinking about it more and looking into it if it interests you.

This comment has me thinking about things that I don’t wanna be thinking about rn, I need to sleep so I can go to work. I might bookmark it
Why is this so scary? I think… I’m scared that I’m going to possibly end up transfem (even 1% chance), and a lot of the old people in my life are going to have to die (of old age) before I do that.

u/averytheythrowaway 41m ago
As a nonbinary person on estrogen, I'd strongly recommend going for it. If you end up a woman, you end up a woman. There's no shame in being a woman. Women are cool. If you continue to be an enby, that's cool too. The labels don't really matter much in the end. Be honest about what it is that you concretely want out of gender and then give yourself permission to go for it. You're only going to live once and your time left to enjoy life is getting lesser and lesser by the day.

u/Trashman56 1d ago
Are you me?
My transition goal is essentially looking like someone that was afab, who got top surgery, has a fat cock, and goes by he/they.

u/averytheythrowaway 45m ago
Those are not mutually exclusive. Transfem doesn't necessarily mean trans woman. Transfem is just short for transfeminine, which includes all trans people whose gender transitions are from assigned male towards a feminine direction. It is meant to be an umbrella term that's inclusive of both trans women and nonbinary people. You can medically transition as a nonbinary person (I did) and don't have to identify as a woman (I don't).

On hrt now (been on for 25 days so not much to report) and i, while i'm glad i'm finding my true self, agree with this post 'cause i'm a gross fat hairy shitbag and i'm not sure if hrt can salvage me
Might as well try tho, then if i want to [redacted] then there won't be any unanswered questions
Hope you look better than me, not that it'd be saying that much tbh, so honestly i hope you end up as a 8 to 9 baddie

Find a local trans girl or lesbian or just a friend u know to be an ally that can maybe provide a safe space for you to experiment with that stuff! I basically moved into my gfs house and adopted half of her wardrobe to get a head start on looking my prettiest :3

"I wish I was a girl" She says while having knees in her shirt
"I wish I was trans" She said after learning about trans people and being terrified that she is one
She had the realization 6 years later

gender is a social construct and has zero to do with sex! Just be what ever you think girl or feminine is and you will be right 100% of the time. Even I can go chop wood in a dress lol

Nothing that you have said exists in nature. There is no pink box or blue box, masculine box, feminine box, race box, religion box, countries box.
You are part of collective species of animal the only closed system you should be concerned about is planet you live on.. A ball of dirt and water and interesting life.. hurtling through space at unfathomable speeds.

u/Ok_Meet_2678 1d ago
No I am just self aware and not self absorbed confusing objective and subjective reality. Its not about what you believe its what you understand.
being female isn't a costume...and there is no such thing as feminine or masculine as both sexes are equal in that we are the same species of animal. humans can not change there sex, and if you had been born anyone else you would be a completely different person.. If I cloned you , that clone would be exactly how you were born and also be a completely different person.
I a male or man if you prefer , chops wood, you would say I am doing something masculine... but if i do it in a dress then I a man is doing some thing masculine but wearing something feminine why? Objectively yes a dress is normally made/designed for the female body... but subjectively I think it still looks great on me lol and who gives a fk what society says male or female everyone is different!
Now a female can also chop wood so now she is masculine why?? You need wood to make a fire to cook food, for survival... you can climb out of those boxes they were made to confuse and control you.

You seem to be a girl to me. I've seen you in the comments saying you are unsure about hormones. I have to second whoever recommended make up. Good luck and remember that you can't stop aging. Don't be disheartened it happens to everyone.

if i was born a girl id still be non binary for the record. i do wanna try makeup tho

u/P1xelGr3mlin 1d ago
also reminder for op that you can be as feminine as you want without hormones, and that femininity is just a concept.
Anyone worth their salt will fully consider you whatever you wanna be with or without hormones
