Just need some suggestions regarding the following:
I'm 22, M, Pansexual. Grew up being extremely androgynous. Depending on how I wore my clothes/hair, I looked like a girl, or a boy. Was very fond of this, but from K-8 I was routinely beaten up, and picked on for my looks, and my sexuality. Wishing to become more transparant in society, I adapted a more masculine persona, and focused on becoming more masculine in appearance, and otherwise became a social recluse. Around age 17, lost my job, parents got their wages frozen. I couldn't afford to be in sports/play In the Groove competitively anymore, so I went from 5'4, 155, to 5'4, 240.
Starting September of last year, a friend of mine introduced me to the world of low-carb diets. I've been closely following Atkins, mostly due to ease, since it's the most well-known of low-carb diets. Lost 48lbs so far, and dropped from a 46 waist back down to a 36. Met an amazing transwoman, dated her for a few months, and it's given me the strength, and desire to return to what I personally believe to be my "true" self.
Right now, my problems are both social, and just a general lack of knowledge. My family is mostly comprised of christian conservatives, and they took it very badly when I came out to them as Pan, to the point that I never mentioned my Ex was trans. I'm very uncomfortable with expressing my desires in public, at least, whilst I'm still overweight. Ideally, I'd like to be able to transition smoothly between being boyish, and being a tasteful cross-dresser. Not because I want to imagine being a woman, but because cross-dressing, wearing make up, and otherwise just being beautiful makes me feel good. No gender confusion in this thread.
I want to know things, such as:
*How to appear more feminine, naturally.
*Ways to be louder, with a softer tone of voice. I can speak in a refined, neutral voice at low volumes, but I'm not sure how to project, or even yell. I want to avoid falsetto as much as possible.
*When would be a good time to start taking testosternone blockers? I'm 5'4, so should I start at 150lbs, or closer to 130?
*Should I take dietary supplements, or just stick with a ketogenic diet? I'm considering taking stimulants that melt fat cells, but would like opinions/to do more research.
*Feminine hairstyles for a male with a naturally round face.
*Techniques for thinning eyebrows
*Ways to bring more life, and vibrance to sunken-in eyes.
*Ways to slim my muscles. I'm naturally VERY muscuclar, despite not working out.
*How to properly apply make up.
*clothes to buy.
Lazily copy/pasted from my /ADV thread. Would like to see what SWF had to say. :3
