Hello

Welcome - I’m fully Transitioned ( Transwoman )M to F in Canada at 65 now - we have reasonable privilege to a degree but realistically there’s very few that truly have full passing luxury - I hate using the point looking authentic when I’ve always felt female from 5 years old 1963 when I new a natural sense of being , your soul - being forced through a puberty which there was no birth choice back in the day your body grows based on DNA genetics and these physical characteristics are hard to change after 18 bottom line - it’s far from foofoo in the real world - I agree be yourself but a person has to be prepared for biased none acceptance of CIS happy body and mind that don’t have a fathom of mind vs body in-congruency - legit Transgender people are born like this - I’m one of them ! At 6’ tall 240 lbs and not fat looking I’ll add and for the most part I get  90% of the time I’m accepted as a woman but it’s not guaranteed- it’s a price you pay for being born in a society of biased none accepting people  with a brain geared one way naturally and a body the other - be yourself , I agree but accept and understand the bias will never go away - the foofoo is very real !

Yes. I'm wearing a bra right now, and to shop.

I look forward to it also. Next week I'm presenting in public for the first time.  Excited!  I will be posting photos then.

Hi Betty! Welcome to the cause. Just remember, always be kind to yourself. And don’t try to fit a mold. Ever transition is different. And I don’t think we’re ever done. Not until we kick the bucket, that is. After that is a whole new journey. Or so I’m told. Stay safe, take your time. Peace
