I'm a bit wary sending this because I don't want to make you uncomfortable, but... Do you mind talking about your experiences with certain things? More specifically, being intersex.
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS by my doctor, and I think it just... Makes sense? I have always struggled with my femininity, and despite trying to embrace it, I always ended up being treated as different by the people around me, as well as being 'masculinized' in some way. I think this ended up as more of a rant rather than a question, I apologize ^.^" I've been trying to learn how to do my make-up and I'm growing out my hair (I had cut it short in hopes of it making me feel more comfortable, though it kind of did the opposite) I would appreciate any help, really. Whether it is fashion/make-up tips or just affirmation... Thank you lots! :,)
I’m glad you thought of me for this. ♡︎
I know your same struggles; I was masculinized by my mother until there was proof that I was “feminine” enough for me to actually be seen as a girl (periods, in my case). Being latina didn’t help with feminine socialization either, jajaja … Point is, there are many intersex people who will understand & You certainly have a community. I’m happy you can embrace yourself now, dear! Please know that no matter what others say, you’re feminine enough ー femininity is not just appearance, it is essence, and you certainly have it.
The number one tip I give anyone transitioning into femininity is!! Tuck your shirts into your waistband!! It gives a more feminine silhouette. This can even been done wearing sweaters (There’s a lot more than just this video! Just search ‘tuck and crop sweaters’). Embracing skirts helps too — if you feel self-conscious, then wearing tights under can help!
Generally, form-fitting clothes are good for gender-affirmation … Body dysmorphia might be blockade in this, but I think working towards presenting the way you’d like will squash that issue partly too ^.^
I hope some of this can help … I hope you can get to a point you’re proud of. Your journey will be fun, I promise! I’m so glad you can embrace yourself ^.^
