ATTENTION EVERYONE This is a light-hearted list of suggestions as {Dorothy Smith, replied below there is a serious side to being Trans and Dysphoria

Please read below for what it is. It’s just a light-hearted laugh 😊👍🥂 x

DON’T Compare Yourself to Others

There’s no winning the comparison game. Comparing yourself to cisgender women or other trans women or crossdressers will only make you miserable.

This isn’t a competition. Instead, focus on being your own best female self.

DO Find Female Role Models

While you shouldn’t compare yourself to other transgender or cisgender women, it IS a good idea to observe and learn from them. When you see somebody who looks especially good, observe the details. How does she dress, speak, move, and behave?

You don’t want to be a copycat, but it can be helpful to incorporate some of these details into your own image.

DO Invest in Great Shapewear

The shape of your body broadcasts your gender, so it’s a great idea to invest in quality shapewear. This is even more important than splurging on expensive clothes!

Here are the essential shapewear pieces you may want to own:

Breast forms in an ideal shape/size for your body

Waist cincher or corset

Padded panties (with **** and hip padding)

Control top tights

DON’T Forget Your Voice

There’s nothing quite as jarring as a beautifully made-up woman with a voice that doesn’t match.  While you don’t need to have a perfect voice, working on improving your feminine voice can help you create a more congruent image.

DO Dress Age Appropriately

It’s always a good idea to dress appropriately for your age, but this does NOT mean you have to look boring or frumpy after a certain age.

The key is to choose clothes and accessories that make you look your best – without looking too young or too mature.

DON’T Overdo It

The biggest mistake you can make is overdoing it. This applies to all women!

Wearing too much makeup, dressing too sexily, and over-exaggerating your body movements are mistakes that can attract the wrong kind of attention. Instead, think subtle and stylish.

DO Get a Second Opinion

Seeing ourselves objectively can be tough. That’s why having a trusted friend for a second opinion is important. If you don’t have a friend nearby, consider checking out transgender or crossdressing forums, or Facebook groups. They’re great places to ask questions and receive helpful feedback.

DO Seek Support

Whether you dress in private or live as a woman full time, you deserve to be supported. This could mean a lot of different things – from coming out to a partner, joining a support or peer group, finding a therapist, or just connecting with others online. Of course there's the Beaumont Society! Being supported makes the journey a lot less lonely – and way more fun!

DO Practice Your Moves

Your body language and movements communicate more about you than almost anything else. Pay attention to your movements by keeping them fluid and feminine.

DON’T Forget to Have Fun

Whether you’re at home or in public, being a woman is supposed to be fun! Drop the guilt, the comparisons, and the need for perfection and enjoy being the fabulous woman that you are!
