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.

Thank you for the kind words

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

Fuck my hairline so much. I miss my long hair every day :(

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

I got some peelable water based nail polish so I could paint my toenails. Figured I could stealth that super easily through the day.

Honestly, I am absolutely loving wearing it. 😊 Need more practice in the application though.

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

Thank you for the advice

I cant use it, but thank you for the advice
