Tips for transgirls

I’ve seen so many of these posts for trans boys but never for the lovely ladies, so here are some tips to feel a bit more feminine if you’re not out

Glossy chapstick, if asked about it say you just have chapped lips and it works well, or if you want a tint and can stand it, those cheap Pepsi/cola chapstick make your lips looks red [you can make them very red or less depending on how much you use]

If your family isn’t too judgey you could wear foundation or just buy it for yourself and say you’re embarrassed about acne or a scar or something,

If you’re more into emo/goth culture thats a good excuse to grow out your hair/wear makeup

You could wear panties under your boxers and just do your own laundry, and buy a feminine outfit you can wear when by yourself, and/or girly sleeping clothes

You can get yourself a pink hello kitty shirt or pink backpack or something like little girls would wear and say you got it to be ironic

If you’ve got a close friend you could get matching rings/necklaces/bracelets and say it’s for friendship or a cute girl/boy made you a bracelet in class and it makes you happy to wear it [or lie about having a close friend and just wear the jewelry]

Spandex. Like the thing to hide your tummy? It accents curves real nice and you can wear it under so many things, or if you can’t do that cuz you’ll get found out get long underwear, like the long black shirt and pants you wear in winter? They work amazing too

Get your ears periced if you can

Write your self a message on you’re phone, using the correct pronouns, or get your backround to “you go, girl!” Or something like that and just say irony/ it was a friends prank and you wanna keep it/ it just empowers you Nd u couldn’t find a “you go, boy!”

Change your blog to be a bit more ‘girly’ and make ur videogame characters girls and use your preferred name!! You can just say its supposed to be a random person or a celebrity really of you want

And get yourself a notebook and write about yourself in like third person using your preferred name and pronouns and if found just say your writing a story or it’s for school

Wear longer socks that cover your calf cause they cover your legs if you can’t shave them

Shave your legs if you can, if not your arms and armpits [just say you sweat a lot and that would help, though there are plenty of cis females who do not shave their arms, so don’t feel pressured too!! ]

Wear girls deordeant if you can

Use lotion. Sounds simple but rlly, mosteruise after you shower, soft skin and plus thats thought of a more feminine activity, plus u can get you some really nice smelling stuff and just says it works well or you didn’t realize it was that strong when you got it or didn’t realise it would smell like that at all

Pinching your cheeks makes them a bit blushy [not for that long] but you could do it when meeting people and such

Get a cute stuffed animal for your bed and just say its from a girl/boy you like or irony

Blow dry your hair instead of towel dry, it makes your hair fluffy and soft

Use girls shampoo or body wash

Wear light colors

Wear tighter clothes or floral things

And remember you are a girl whether you’re out or not or if people believe you

Spectrum outfitters is a new UK BASED company that is about to start selling binders

I know this damn website is so Americanised but PLEASE reblog this! Transmasculine people in the UK have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for shipping from America. This could change all that.

Support your UK trans community. Reblog this. Get the word out.

Announcement: Story Selfie Saturday!

We have a new tradition among us, which is, you guessed it, Story Selfie Saturday. We’ve decided we need more interaction among our blog, as it’s become a bit slow, so why not start a new weekly event?

The rules are simple: Submit a photo and/or a story (whether it be lgbt related, something funny, or a rant (please no discourse)) on Saturdays!! If you think your story may not be appropriate, don’t submit it on anon, or give us a number so we can let you know why we’re not posting it (for example, “anon 5, we can’t post yours because blah blah”). Please participate, have fun, and spread some love!! I’ll even start with my own photos!

I think we are going to start looking for a few trans feminine mods. If you’re interested, leave a comment, and I’ll make a form to fill out.

looking for follower advice

hey guys! i was curious if any of you are out as trans or nonbinary (or just as lgbt or queer) at school but not at home. i’m starting high school at a new school two weeks from yesterday, and i’m going to be out, however my mom does not accept me so i’m shoved back in the closet at home. if any of you are in this situation, do you have any advice for me? i know i’m the one supposed to be helping you all, but i’m truly stumped on how to make this work. thank you guys♥️

I've been getting into discourse and am feeling a bit bad for being nb and not dysphoric... Advice..?

If you arent dysphoric, that's a good thing, my love. Don't feel bad that you're comfortable with your body and identity. Some people are, and some aren't, and it's all okay. Because eventually we all learn to find and accept ourselves. You just found your happy place a bit sooner. Keep up the confidence and good work. We're all proud of you. I hope this gave you the advice you wanted, if not, feel free to write another ask. 💕- Bo 💜

music: daughter by Ryan Cassata

Ryan Cassata, a trans man, tells his experience of coming out and transitioning through his song “Daughter”.

You can already tell the song is powerful and meant to tell Ryan’s story based solely on the emotion in his voice. Watching the video, you’ll be hit with another wave of emotion. The scene that pairs with the lyric “This is who I am for anyone that cares” and the few seconds that follow are sometimes hard to watch, but need to be addressed. This song is like an anthem for people beginning or going through any part of their transition. 

Several times throughout the video and song, it’s emphasized that he didn’t change himself. He still has the same personality, and he’s finally comfortable with who he is. Acceptance from Ryan’s father wasn’t easy, he highlights. The whole premise of the song is seeking acceptance, describing to his father that again, he’s still his child, still his daughter. Ryan bravely confronts the challenges – and also the beauty – in acting true to ourselves, regardless of the forces that act against us. 

He did see love from his friends and peers, however. They had a name party and truly welcomed Ryan for who he is. One of the most touching parts is when he reminds his father of the memories they’ve shared together. He wrote notes to his dad about the past and how nothing has changed in a bad way – only improved and strengthened, with the end goal of being comfortable in his own body. Finally getting his father to acknowledge and accept his identity was a challenge, but he made it happen. 

Ryan’s dad came around to accepting him, loving him, and still considering him his little girl. Ryan is seen at the end walking on the rooftop, waving his trans pride flag. It wraps up the video to say that he has done the most important thing and accepted himself, and has pride in himself, giving others hope for themselves.

My mom is trying to get me to start T(I want to so it isn't forced) but we can't afford it if insurance won't cover it. Do you have any sources for me to look at, like which insurances(if any) covers going on T?

there’s a few links. My apologies, I don’t know much about the subject and it hurts me a bit to research about T. Good luck!-Adam

(Anon that asked about cheering up their friend) So my friend recently told me they're questioning their gender and their parents still don't support. So tomorrow, if they're able to come to my house, I'm planning on bringing them to my support group that offers free clothes and binders(since they can't buy a binder by theirself). If that doesn't work, I'm going to buy a binder for them myself. My mom is going to help me with this as well so at least they know they're supported by my family

That’s awesome, you’re truly an amazing friend. Keep us updated!!-Adam

My friend came out as queer to her mom today. When she called me she was crying and we talked a bit. I did my best to cheer her up, but she is all stressed because her parents aren't supportive. I asked if I could do anything for her and she said she didn't know. Do you have any ideas on how to cheer her up or even help make her parents supportive? I'm around them a lot this summer and I'm also ftm if that helps with anything.

Good for her for coming out though, it probably means the world to her that she has a friend like you to support her 💜. We need more people like you.

As far as cheering her up goes, here are some things that make people feel wanted and loved, and will show her you care:

-Make her a special music playlist of her favorites or songs you think she’d like

-Make some art for her, in any form! Writing, poetry, drawing, painting, carving, clay. Heck, even crayons! Something that says ‘I made this for you and I hope you’re having a good day’

-FOOD. Bake cookies or a cake and wrap it up all pretty!

-Compliments! Send a little extra love her way.

-Hugs and physically being there for her. Just spending time with someone can mean the world to them.

-A simple text, or reminder she’s on your mind and shes a freakin’ awesome gal for coming out and being so strong.

As far as swaying her parents on the idea, dont go overboard. Maybe casually mention something when the time feels right. Let them know that you support their daughter, and they should too. Cause she’s worth it. Time fixes a lot of problems like this one, dont let your friend lose hope.

Thanks, love. 💕

I'm at a band camp and there are multiple people with my deadname(they put the nane I go by on the roll) but whenever tgey say those names, I always look up and almost reply. Is that a bad thing?(I've been out since October)

not at all! i’ve been out to friends for about a year now and it’s difficult for me to respond to my chosen name (though i always look up when they quote the vine) and very easy for me to look up when someone says my deadname. things take time to get used to, and it’s a different amount for everyone -adam
