older woman who is colorblind checking in here. sorry if its all a color mismatch. this was the only Halloween wig I could afford because I am very bald. 😭 but I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't stop smiling. 😁 i love all of you!!!

i took my first dose of estradiol valerate and spironolactone this morning. i have unfortunately had a spike in blood pressure but i'm monitoring it.

It's a good look!

I'm just glad to finally have a dress and shoes to wear around my place and feel like myself in 😭

thank you so much for the compliment, everyone here is always so kind.

The hair and shoes look great con you! And the color of the dress is very pretty :D.

I love that dress!!! Awesome floral pattern.

You got this, grats on day one!!

I do love blues and I think it's the color I look best in because of my blue eyes! thank you for noticing! I'm still so bad at painting my nails lol

You're killing it! 🔥🔥🔥

Love the dress, nails, and envy your tolerance for wigs! You look great! ❤️

If I can handle this crummy wig, I can't wait to have an actual quality human hair wig, honestly.

You look great! Looking forward to more pictures and seeing your smile grow 😊.

Thank you I still can't stop smiling and I only just noticed I managed to be so excitable that I uploaded the only photo I'm not smiling in lmao

You look great! I think the hot pink really suits you. Thank you for including us in your journey, I hope the blood pressure thing resolves quickly.

Have you ever tried one? They're hot and itchy. But if you can tolerate it, try a lace front.

has good, basic information. Good luck!

Congrats, mission accomplished, good job deciding what would make life better and pursuing it, it will continue getting better from here! Also, the hair is a hot pink and the dress is a mix of greyish greens and blues, so the hair really pops!

Slay Queen, go knock em dead.

Do you girl!

Everything is perfect! You look beautiful 💜

I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn’t stop smiling

clothing has two primary purposes: the functional purpose (keeping you warm/dry), and the "does this clothing make me happy" purpose. sounds like you found a perfect outfit!

If you're ever wanting to match colors to something in the future, and you're okay with physically going into stores, you can bring the item and ask a sales person to help you. I worked in an accessory store ages ago, but my favorite task customers gave me was building a look around an item.

I love that silhouette on you, and I'm a little jealous of the freedom you gave with wigs :) Grats on your first doses!

Holy shit, another colorblind trans girl?!

There are dozens of us!!! Dozens!!!!

let's go day 1! you are a golden goddess!!!

Lovely dress and your feet & those look amazing!

Looking good. Keep it going.

I love your outfit, it looks great for warm weather🩷

Nice fit. The glare on the floor makes it look like you're floating lol

I love the wig. Good eye.

Gentle does not depend on your looks.

Gentle depends on what Linux distro you are using.

Hiiiiiii!!! Congrats on the HRT!!!!

You look amazing! Welcome to the community :3

Love the hair and glasses combo!

Hey youre looking great and thats a great dress on you.

Congratulations and I'm glad you're here! :)

The dress suits you so well!!!

I wish I knew how to type out the onomatopoeia of the happy squeal I made

Thank goodness for ugly 70s tiling! Thank you!

I kept it going so long I woke up on my bed and I had pulled the covers over myself, still wearing the dress.

lol, I mean, it's whatever, I do like the side-swept bangs look, though. I like bangs in general though. Thank you, though, I mean I do like it too, I just wish I had a better one.

must be why it was on sale since we're entering the winter months here lol. Thank you, I love it toooo! 🩷

I know that one of the main things I need to do is bring attention to my assets, so I'm going to spend a lot of time making sure my legs and feet are the center of attention.

I wish wigs felt like freedom, but I understand from my own experiences with my own hair when I still had it when I was young, sometimes it doesn't matter what you want to do with it, there's just no making it look how you want without having a different type of hair entirely, thickness, tensile strength, curliness, color all impact how hair is able to be styled.

Anyway, thank you for the tip on going in to stores. I don't live too far from more open minded areas, so I might be able to do that when I visit the west side of the state sometime.

Yes I did, thank you!

squeeeeee!

Thank you, and it's actually two sizes two big, I was able to get another cute one in the right size and shipping this one back to get replaced with the right size. I measured myself based on the size chart online and i guess it was off by a bit lol

Thank you I am so happy to be here!

Thanks so much!

The great news is I am just a dingus who was using my blood pressure cuff wrong. Went to a welk-in clinic. Nurses tested twice and I was fine, just having a panic attack thinking I wasn't. So, it's resolved because it wasn't actually a think hooray! lol

Thank you so much, I love it so much aaaaaahhhh!

Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I've been here on blahaj for years on a different account, but now I'm really here. 😭

Heyyyyyyyy! Thanks, it's glorious already!

Thank you so much, I was anxious about the glasses before all of this, because I got them as a man to suit a man and I was worried they couldn't pull double duty. But then I got put together and realized they're not that bad at all. I do wish my head wasn't so friggin wide so I could have some slightly more feminine frames but que sera sera
