"my investments" -TSLA bagholder

I bought femme clothes from thrift stores. It's cheap, I could swap out equivalent masc clothes that I didn't anticipate needing. It got easier over time as a sense of style developed. I'm 3.5 months HRT and 90% of my clothing was purchased pre-HRT, no significant size changes yet. Exception: Bras were mainly purchased after.
For makeup, even in boy mode a little foundation and blush made me feel cuter. The key with makeup is subtlety. And a lot of foundation to hide shadow, if that's a concern.
Finally, a skin care routine did wonders for me, especially once HRT began. I use CeraVe cleanser, moisturizer, and a Neutrogena retinol cream between them every other day at night, plus a Neutrogena sunscreen in the morning. It had super noticeable softening effects on my face within two weeks.
What helps me is: you can experiment with all this stuff without necessarily taking it out of your bedroom if you don't want to. You can wash off the makeup. Or you might feel great and go out.
Good luck!
Love this album. I have it on vinyl and put it on display sometimes.
My first slept like this a lot. Lots of folks like you stopped and commented to tell me that it looked dangerous. Thanks for your concern but it's just the way the baby cookie crumbles, sometimes.
NDP and Liberals are not the same party. They are as different as Liberal and PC. Referring to them as spoiler candidates is slightly disingenuous because it implies we have a two-party system, which we don't.
I fully place the blame here on FPTP and I would not at all discourage anyone from running for office because of vote splitting.
Maybe I'm just terminally online, but I've seen lots of people boast that they've "never gotten intoxicated" and view this as some sort of moral boon. It just reads as fear to me. Not that I'd force them to get high, but don't knock it if ya haven't tried it.
The anger I could work around, but saying "I can't control it" shows a lack of introspection that would be an instant giant red flag to run away, fast and far. Good luck, friend. We all deserve love.
Sometimes the point of alcohol is just to get a little bit drunk.
Similarly, asking anyone to defend their position on why sobriety is superior will eventually have them sound like they are insecure and judgemental.
Was in line for shawarma. The guy in front of me was getting "sir" this, "sir" that from the cashier. I braced for my turn. To my joy, I received absolutely no gendered honorifics.
Ah, that makes more sense than "farting during holy month"
This isn't bad, it's poor taste but great execution.
