Feminine Body Care

As we transition, our skin becomes a lot more softer and sensitive. Which means, we have to take good care of it! Naturally, we'll have smoother skin than men. However, it's not going to prevent us from growing body hair, and hormone imbalances can cause acne breakouts for newly transitioning folks. 
So, here are some of the things I do to maintain my lovely skin!

Scrub!

Scrubbing is important while taking shower. Make sure you use shower scrub to get all the dead skins off for a smoother skin! Scrubbing your back and around your chest can prevent them from going rough, and it's one of the important hygiene to keep! Don't scrub too much or too hard though, as it irrupts the skin. Scrubbing your body nice and clean little by little everyday can give you the best results within weeks!



Shave!

It isn't quite necessary, as there are many CIS girls that don't shave. But isn't it nice to have your skin as smooth as a dolphin?... no? Well, I like my skin smooth so here are some tips!

Choose your razor. 

I use the men's Gillette pro glide. It's multi blade, and works very efficiently.
I've used women's razor as well, but men's work way better compared to women's.
The only difference is pretty much the design. If anything, women's razors are made for more sensitive skin, but that makes it less efficient than men's.



Don't shave everyday

Shaving everyday is actually quite bad for your skin as it irritates. According to WikiHow, it's good to shave every other day. I personally do that and it works perfectly as I don't have any problems with my skin being irritated or anything.

Be patient go slow.

Shaving too fast is one of the reason why your skin could be irritated. It's also the cause of razor burn. 
So go slow!

Moisturize!

Moisturizing is quite important (imo) as it helps maintain the smoothness of your skin
Some of the products that I use for my body are from Victorias Secret.


This one is called Velvet Petals. It's a scented moisturizer.

Drawing 7 Viles of Blood: I passed out

Image
Bonkers, they made me draw seven viles of blood. At least they didn't do it all at once. By all means, I had to come in again on the next day because I passed out on my fourth vile. It's probably because I was nervous. I do hate needles. I mean there are only few things I absolutely fear in this world: bugs and needles. I mean, needles and bugs are on the same level of fear for me.  The 7 viles of blood were drawn for Estradiol FSH Lipid Profile LH Comprehensive Metabolic Profile Testosterone, Free,Total & Bioavail Hemoglobin A1c CBC w/ Diff & Platelet Count I think every transgirls would have to suffer through this before their first HRT. It's mainly to check your testosterone levels (hormone balances) and to see if your body is capable of handling the hormone replacement therapy. In other words, it's for your safety.  For teenagers like me, the physician will check my physical status by drawing the blood every 2 months. Simply to see how we’re doing. Based on

Coming Out to Dad

Image
Me: "Dad, I'm gay" Dad: "Yea no sh*t, just look at yourself" He actually said that. I mean, There's no way that my dad would've ever thought that I was straight because he knew that I was into crossdressing, was never into sports, and also because I looked oddly feminine compared to most boys my age.  As previously said, " Coming out, based on my experience, is just a matter of luck. By all means, you're either lucky to have an accepting parents, or you're unlucky to have ones that would bash you for being yourself. But either way, you are who you are, and that can't be changed. It's not guaranteed that a parent would always be accepting of who you are, but you do need to let them know that you're a daughter and not a son at one point in life  " Coming out to my dad was probably one of the things that I feared for the longest time. Mainly because he's literally a boomer, born in the year 1950. Even when I came out to my

Coming Out to Mom

Coming out, based on my experience, is just a matter of luck. By all means, you're either lucky to have an accepting parents, or you're unlucky to have ones that would bash you for being yourself. But either way, you are who you are, and that can't be changed. It's not guaranteed that a parent would always be accepting of who you are, but you do need to let them know that you're a daughter and not a son at one point in life.  For me, I first came out as homosexual when I was 14. One summer day, I said "mom, I think I like boys more than girls".  She thought that I was just bicurious at first. Even during the time I was dating a boy, and I specifically told her that I had a boyfriend. She just thought that him and I were just really, really close friends who had a lot in common. Maybe I should've told her that he ****** me, and then ******* and then I ***** and **** **** **** with him. Maybe that might've helped her understand more... or not because
