Hello @rebaia

I'm sorry to hear you have been dealing with gender dysphoria. I'm glad making the picrews and wearing bras has been helpful for you! I'm not a transwoman, but I do know of a couple tips that might help. How would you feel about using women's' shampoo/body wash/deodorant? I've also heard some transwomen say wearing Chapstick or a hair tie on their wrists helps. Do any of these tips sound helpful? You can also find some resources on coping with dysphoria here and gender expression here. I hope these help!

Hello @rebaia

I understand your battle and fight it too. I find practicing my makeup skills and wearing a nice tunic dress and tights helps me. I bought a couple of each inexpensively so I can feel myself while I make my transition. I found that understanding what dysphoria is that I am able to control it more. I have found this resource to be invaluable to me https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/ I hope it can help you and others.

Its gonna suck but you need people to give you feed back on your looks and put your self out there and be vulnerable. Find a friend to show yourself to and adk what they think. If its hinesty you want then say so. But if youd rather them lie. Then also say so
