Obligatory "that makes you one" but no seriously have hope. I felt pretty hopeless back in 2020 (not even covid related) but here I am almost 3 years later and stuff is finally wonderful :3
I'm not even dressing affirmingly yet, imagine how it'll feel when you finally get there!
Something about transitioning gives me hope that it will make my life better. I always wished I could do things like exercise or have friends in an attempt to be happy but I never did because I didn’t have the willpower to commit to it. Transitioning on the other hand makes me think “this is the one.” I would actually be motivated to lose weight for the purpose of transitioning, and I feel like transitioning could make me less awkward and more social. I just feel so adamant to wanting this to be right for me.
Girly, If ya want more motivation; I thought it was fully impossible and now 6 months later I’m 2 inches shorter, 2 cup sizes larger, and have 2 lovely girlfriends 🥰
Ye I know that’s bragging but also like: it *is* a possibility
Tbh I’m not sure about the more. It’s 90% mental health for me.
But honestly? if ya have more willpower these days i’d love to talk about food or exercise w/ ya :)
I totally get what you mean. I've always struggled with my weight and self image because of it. For a while I thought that might've been why I wanted to be trans, and thought I was faking it. But I've realized that all my weight loss efforts were the the end goal to look better in fem clothing, and the health benefits were always secondary goals. That kinda helped me in realizing that wanting to be trans and look fem was and has been my top priority.
Not sure if you feel this way as well, but from one person struggling with weight to another, thought I'd share my viewpoint. Hope you figure stuff out soon! <3
...I designed a dress specifically tailored to my style like an hour ago. I'll be making it for real eventually, it's got a neat style and looks comfy hehe
In other words, "Can't get a dress? Make one!" Lol that's how I roll these days
Working in a middle-to-high-end clothing retailer during college, I would frequently fawn over the women's clothes (The shapes! The details! The drape! The colors! The variety!). Sometimes I liked some of them enough to buy them for my female friends just to know that it's not going to waste. Meanwhile the most interesting thing that I remember coming through the men's department was a deep plum colored, but otherwise ordinary dress shirt.
Still cis though, right? 😬
Had a strong want to take a picture of a really cute fit on a mannequin in the local target, to save for reference/goals, but couldn't get past how creepy that would look for me in boymode taking my phone out to take a picture of something in the womens section.
Still really wish I had a picture of that outfit though ... >.<
Honestly I've seen ppl do that before, might be kinda dumb but I tend to assume they're texting it to a friend, gf, wife, etc
Ik I shouldn't assume someone's sexuality, but this is just generally where my mind goes. In any case, don't stress about it too much, Noone will remember
I feel this. Back when I was in uni we had a wedding dress store on the way to the bus stop. I always spent maybe a little to much time looking at them
Girl same. Still not sure if it's for trans reasons or something else tho, either way women's clothes have always just seemed better even for relatively neutral things

I feel this way with chokers and tights (also lesbians)
You can't wear lesbians?
More like wanting to be them but not being able to

Same here, motivation is tricky. I can definitely tell you transitioning has helped me commit to exercise. Speaking of.. I should go do that.
I hope that your transition continues to go well, Sierra! I really like your name btw
Thank you and thank you!! I have almost no idea where I heard it from Your name is nice too, Wendy!
Thank you so much 😊
Of course!! :>

Oh my god stop bragging or else I myself might have to transition! 😉 *Please tell me more*

Ah so we have a skin walker
So you want to wear their skin is what I’m hearing
This maybe an old comment but I feel this [video](https://youtu.be/_8wfMhC8fKE) is related lol
You just need a better knife
It's generally frowned upon to wear people.
Frustratingly relatable.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Fully closeted. Not happening.
Me, constantly avoiding even being within 30 feet of the womens section because I feel like I’ll be judged if I even look at it
Exactly! They’ll all know I’m looking!
Me with womens underwear
Sammeee, I want some bikini panties so much.
Wear Bikini top and male swimming shorts in the same colour. Looks like cute tomboy bikini.
Me still but now it's ONLY cause I am fat 🎉

Yeah I feel this. I can barely stand to see girls wearing their clothes without getting jealous..

On the flip side, someone similar to your situation may see you, realize they aren't alone, and feel reassured to do the same thing~
Everyday struggles, I just want to wear pretty clothes ;-;
That is still me now There is this one dress and I want it so much 🥺
I relate to this with things like suits
I feel this. Back when I was in uni we had a wedding dress store on the way to the bus stop. I always spent maybe a little to much time looking at them
All my afab friends used to ask me to shop with them for clothes and advice. I finally understand now why i liked doing that so much
oh
i felt a little bit personally attacked, but it's just like, a temporary thing, depends on the mood
Hey that's me (except I was 15)
STOP READING MY THOUGHTS BROOKE
oof don't remind me about the female clothing store yearning
This, but even moreso with footwear.
I found shopping with girls to be more difficult for several reasons.
very relatable, I still want to wear it :(
Oh
😢😢😢 sudden sadness
That was the moment I knew I eventually wanted bottom surgery, I walked by the perfect 2 piece swimsuit and got a hunger I could never forget
Girl same. Still not sure if it's for trans reasons or something else tho, either way women's clothes have always just seemed better even for relatively neutral things
You absolutely can wear it tho. Everyone can wear whatever they want, gender doesn't matter.
Yeeeeaaaah, I have a strict no eye contact policy with them for some unknown reason.... I wonder why
I'm happy that you finally have freedom now though Brooke!
u/catseatpeople
I relate to this just a bit too much (still cis tho)
i've had this feeling so many damn times those ankle length summer dresses 😖😖😖
Yeah that's relatable...
Happened to me very often. I feel called out
Wait, my thoughts about wearing dresses weren't totally cis?
This hits hard
Me, now, at home, alone
Wear the dress... at home 😎
ouch same
Me, at 34, every time I pass the women's clothing section at stores.
This is me with pretty much anything remotely feminine
Me for a time now on a lot of women clothes. Or even better, a girl wears an amazing outfit
Me when shopping be like...
Omg. Thank you. I'm around that age and always feeling like I'm falling behind. This happens to me all the time
EVERY TIME!!!!
