Reply To: Trying to get a woman’s advice/knowledge

[Val’sheril Starsong]

First of all, echoing those that have gone before: count your blessings. If you haven’t opened up to your SO you should, for her sake if not for hers. As a celibate girl I just opened up to my first GG friend (who wasn’t a gf or ex) and she is very supportive. That said… your best options for advice on makeup and passing in general may come from the CD/trans community and not the GG community as there are some differences in how we genetic males can best present as female vs. how genetic females do so. Youtube is an excellent start, as is reaching out to your community here. That said, there’s nothing quite as validating as getting a GG’s support in this aspect of your life, so… pick your moments but don’t be afraid to start that conversation.
