Here are 5 tips that I have picked up while watching YouTube and reading blogs for people who want to or are just starting to or are well on their way to transition. 1. Haircut. Getting a female haircut or mail haircut depending on if you are a MTF or FTM can make a big difference. Sometimes, like me, this is not an option and wigs are the way to go but if you can get the style of haircut that you are transitioning to. That way when you look in the mirror you see you are on the way to become the man or woman you should have been born as. 2. Hobby other than transitioning. When you start transitioning it takes over your life. When I started I almost gave up on the hobby that I have done all my life, Technology. This was a mistake. While your hobbies my change you need something outside of transitioning to keep your mind occupied. Like I said mine was computers, and although I have not started YouTube again I have started streaming again. Transitioning can take time. Think of your mental

 I have now been out as a trans woman for almost 2 months and I must admit, I didn't thing it would go this well. So far everyone in real life has been very accepting of the real me. I was nervous of coming out at first, but I had the support of my sister and cousin and his missus. They have given me strength while I started to stop wearing men's clothes and started to live full time as Kira. When I first started to dress as Kira I was wearing sports bra, a baggy t-shirt and some trousers, although they was women's clothes they was not that far from Unisex clothes. I am now currently while typing this post out sat in a coffee shop wearing the t-shit that is pictured above, a black leather skirt, false boobs on and a shapewear bodysuit that my cousin's missus got me underneath. This is only the second time also I am out in a skirt with no tights on. It feels natural. Now I do have headphones on due to my PTSD but no one has said anything to me. A group of us have been cl

 As the title suggests, this is about clothes that make you feel better as a Trans Woman. Now this is of course my personal experience and thoughts, not everyone will agree with me. Skirts I love wearing skirts, with out without tights. For me, it makes me feel confident when I am out and about, especially after you have shaved your legs. I would recommend wearing some kind of undershorts with skirts. These can be as simple as sport shots like the ones pictured or specialized ones. You can get them quite cheap from Amazon. Shapewear Shapewear are body suites that look like 1 piece swimsuits but are made from special material that shape your body. Think of them as a bit like corsets. The main difference between these an swimsuits is they can have a built in bra or pads to hide your boobs. When I put one of these on a friend said it made me look a size lower than I am. Woman's T-Shirts Women's t-shirts are generally more tight fitting than Men's t-shirts, especially around th

Baby Trans, which I am, are trans people who are not on or waiting to go on HRT. When you come out as a transgender person obviously this is a big step in your life to who you want to be. Instead of having to pretend being the opposite sex all the time you can concentrate on being YOU. Here are some of what I think are important things to note when you do come out. Passing is not the be all and end all. So this might be controversial but if your only goal in life is to pass then you are not guaranteed happiness when you achieve it. There are other things that are just as important: friendship, relationships, mental health, economic security, healthy hobbies, etc. While yes, passing is important to many to either relieve dysphoria or achieve safety, it is not the end-all-be-all of existence. There is more to life than just looking like a cis person. Cis people are not the gold-standard for everything. To think otherwise is to buy into cis normativity. But look. I get it. When we’re firs

 When I go into town, as a Transgender Woman I obviously go out dressed as a woman, as that is what I am. I have been asked a few times Why are you dressed like that, are you a Cross Dresser. Well here in this post I will discuss what is the main difference between a Cross Dresser and a Transgender person. Cross Dressers A cross dresser is someone who wants to dress up as the opposite sex for sexual pleasure and/or comfort in general. Now there are different stages of cross dressers. A lot of them just like to wear women's or men's underwear. Very few people go the full monty and dress fully as a woman/man. All cross dressers have one thing in common, they DO NOT want to be a woman/man full time. They only dress for sexual pleasure or comfort. Drag queens generally only dress up as a woman when they are performing an act, but dress as a man otherwise. Transgender People Transgender people, which I am one, want to live the opposite gender they was born in, there mind is of the o
