hey. i've never posted here before, but this community seems like a really positive and informative place to be a part of.
i want to begin some type of transitioning soon. i don't pass as male at all at this point. i only recently made the decision to begin the process. but i've already told the people who matter (friends, not family. i am not looking forward to that conversation...), and i'm just waiting for life to give me the opportunities i need.
mostly, i'm starting out with a less feminine/more masculine hair cut and wearing more men's clothing. i haven't been wearing makeup actively for a few months now, more out of laziness than conscious decision, but i do like the way i look more without it. i want to start binding, but my chest is quite large and i don't know how well it will work out.i haven't done much research on binding or top surgery just yet because breasts sorta squick me out. um... yeah.
if you have any advice for a newly identified trans person, drop me a comment!
