A single unified LGBTQ+ conversation

All this is reminding me I hate not being out to everyone/everywhere.

I'm fed up with having to be ready to rush into my room to change my clothes and not being able to wear makeup until the evening and I'm sick of spending every shift at work feeling flat chested.

@Smokey: Obviously it's your choice, but IMO you're too cute to need to worry about your bust.

*hug*

You're closer than me.

I promise you both, it'll get better. It took me a while before I was able to present the way I do now, but its so worth the wait.

Also, I'll make my final decision once my chest reaches its full natural size. I might like it as a B cup, but I'd prefer being bigger than I am now. I'm practically as flat as my oldest sister.

My forms are listed as "500g 32C 34B 38AA" and the bra I wear them with is a 32C, but with how the bra is supposed to fit and how it actually fits I'd say they're probably more B cups.

Also I can only wear mine when I'm alone in my house or staying in my room.

Mine are listed just as "C Cup" but I'm wearing them with a 40DD in that photo. In the 44C they would lift every time I bent forward even when it was tightened off.

In my uniform shirt, for reference◊

I'm still bewildered by the utter unpopularity of uncommon makeup colours among cis folks. Seen so many trans girls sporting blue or green lipstick (h/t to Bisected8, you're cute as fuck), and looking ridiculously adorable in it; why the hell isn't that a more common thing in general ?

I know a few who have begun wearing it as a result of watching/reading Jojos Bizarre Adventure. I personally love the trend, and wish more stores stocked uncommon colors. I'm still on the lookout for yellow and blue, and maybe a green as well.

Unnatural colours being hard to find probably has to do with it.

It's taken me ages to find a green lipstick I like. Most lipsticks that are any good are emerald or another dark shade which makes my lips look thin. The lighter ones are either neon (which looks kinda cool, but's a bit bright for general use) or don't really have decent pigmentation.

In the end, via a cosplayer I know from another site, I found this site. The site's kinda primative, and I had to order from the USA (and thus wait a week or two), but it was worth it.

You've already seen my yellow nail varnish, so...

Guess that does play its part, but I'm generally seeing a very conservative attitude towards makeup among cis folks. I had a fellow student, back in my academy days, who was quite extravagant (but not flamboyant, mind you) in her fashion choices, usually matching her makeup colour with her clothes, at times even colouring her upper and lower lip differently. Never garish, always subtle, so you really couldn't accuse her of soliciting attention. I guess the upside is that it remains a unique look that isn't being usurped by trend culture.

A lot of guys seem to dislike makeup, but actually want girls to wear very subtle makeup. Thankfully, I don't care much what guys want, and will rock my bright purple lipstick.

You can probably rock everything. You have huge eyes and a whole bunch of freckles to counteract your lips, so you could very well wear neon green glow-in-the-dark lipstick with metallic glitter, and it would still not look garish on you .

I mean to be fair the yellow was a Cosplay thing so I probably won't go for it as a normal palette choice.

Heh, I know people with much larger eyes than mine, but thanks! Speaking of garish, I'm planning on freaking some people out once fall hits and it gets cooler out. I've got some very gothy clothing, combat boots, and a very creative use of eyeliner that should turn some heads.

Yeah, I don't like unnatural coloration, but you do you.

My girlfriend wears combat boots as her standard attire. Usually combined with band merch hoodies; your everyday metalhead outfit. She's mostly drawing looks for being very tall, quite a bit taller than me. Otherwise I'd reckon her look is pretty standard fare in Sweden.

Heh, when you're going for a gothy look, which usually involves mainly black, that's when I would advise to wear a very light and shrill lipstick colour, to a set a counterweight accent to all the dark (unless you want the focus to be your eyes, that is). At least that's what the filmmaker inside of me thinks .

I actually don't plan on using lipstick when I do that. I have pretty pale skin, and can use some eyeliner (felt tipped) to create facial markings that can turn some heads.

I never knew you were a stylist, TAPE?

Meanwhile I just have a load of anime / gaming shirts. I'm such a fucking nerd.

I'm a filmmaker by trade, at least that's what I studied (I have moved over to game design). I am by no means a fashion person, I simpy have a keen eye for colour, geometry and anatomical details. Seeing the world from behind a movie camera, so to speak .

Embrace thy nerdiness, DBL.

-is the biggest nerd here-

Here's a selection.◊

There's nothing wrong with being a nerd girl.

So, I've talked with my parents about coming out to the rest of the family. My mum really wants to speak to a doctor first. She's insisting on calling the clinic I've been referred to to see if any of their doctors can do a private consultation, instead of waiting for an appointment.

She insists that's how it works (based on her experience with surgery on her hip), but I'm not so sure.

I wish I had as good a wardrobe as you.

Where'd you get that Tomoko shirt? I think I want one. o3o
