    I saw some ideas recently in a similar post: could try improving your skin care routine, wearing sunscreen, putting on body lotion after shower, paint nails, get ears pierced, etc. I’ll try to find this other post I’m thinking of

    Tight jeans and hoodies were my go-to early on. I hope you can reach a point where you dont have to hide from family or anyone.

    Karamo from Queer Eye says you let people in instead of coming out because youre the one with the power to understand yourself more than anyone else and your feelings are final. No one has the power to accept or deny you except those you decide to let in. You set those boundaries and be yourself and be comfortable too. Anyone else can get the hell over it.

      Letting people in instead of coming out. I like that. That’s a much better way of wording it and keeping the power with us. I love it, thanks for sharing

      Thank you for the kind words

      I personally find tight jeans, and jeans in general, to be uncomfortable but you do you

      Sadly the only one I have is an Eevee sweatshirt

      One I ordered on accident and not even to pass as fem, but it does its job and I love it(even if its hot as fuck outside)

    Maybe things that other people can’t see like wearing a sports bra and women’s underwear beneath your clothes? That’s what helped me at first. Also shaving body hair in places that won’t be visible if that troubles you too

    I paint my nails dark colors. It was scary at first, but I only ever get compliments on them. Black is a pretty acceptable color for guys these days.

    Shave your legs/body hair. Shaved legs is one of the best feelings in the world and even though it doesn’t feel like it, literally no one notices.

    Use feminine hygiene products. If you don’t already, you won’t believe how much better the scents are. I wish I had let myself try feminine deodorant/body wash years ago. Also, no one will ever notice that either.

      I do shave my arms and legs and yeah, nobody notices

      Thanks for the advice

      I’ll use it when I can, but I cant rn
