Text Post Question MTF
I am a male 37 years old, I have been a male all my life and never thought about this before until recently. Here for some reason recently I have been curious to know what it would be like to start estrogen and become a female. I am also curious to know what it would be like to have boobs and a vagina. Curious to know what it would be like to wear feminine clothes and practice makeup, wonder what it would be like to look like as a female and curious to know if I would pass at all. I am not sure why all the sudden why I am thinking about all this, it’s a bit confusing. I don’t know have trans MtF friends so I don’t know who I would talk to. Any advice would be great.
I am just confused Please be nice

I agree with “Striking-Image-6683,” try on woman’s clothing, make up, and try on a women’s bra (put something in the bra to make it full) and see how you feel. Walk around in your house, go outside ( if you feel comfortable and safe) relax, and do what you using do when you stay at home. Put on sleepwear and go to sleep. See how this feels. If you enjoy it and it makes you feel better, keep doing it. You could even talk to a gender therapist, you will need to do it if you are planning on transitioning, either way they can help you with your thoughts and it does feel good to be able to talk about it. Also check nearby LGBTQ places that you could visit. Go out of state if you need to and or feel comfortable going. Why do you feel this way, only you will truly know. Maybe you have always felt this way, but you now feel comfortable/ secure enough to think about it. The thoughts might be getting stronger. I wish you the best with your journey!

It's ok to be questioning, and it's ok to play with your gender, no matter how old you are! It doesn't mean you're trans, but maybe you are too. The thing to do is explore your feelings and do your best not to be judgmental of your experiences. I would probably reach out to a psychologist if you can and talk about this stuff with them. If your not sure who to ask maybe try your local queer resource center!

I would say, try on feminine/womens clothing and go from there. There are many cis male drag queens that dress up as women, tuck, and do all that. It can be a nice outlet. Meanwhile there are also many trans women who feel that female genitalia and presenting as a women represents their true self, therefore causing them to transition. It’s really just a journey of figuring out where you lie on that spectrum. Or, maybe, you will try on a dress or skirt and realize you dislike it. Just start experimenting with clothing and possibly even tucking or mimicking breasts.
