Let me just preface this by saying that I’m not yet 100% sure that this is who I am. But I wanted to try out another name, to see how it feels. Maybe I will realize I’m transfem one day, or maybe that I’m NB or fluid.

What I do know however, is that I want to express myself in more feminine ways, but I wouldn’t want to waste my entire wardrobe, if it’s possible to make something femme out of it.

I thought that you gals would maybe have some tips concerning that, or maybe some good resources you could point me to.

For example, I own a bajillion generic mens’ tshirts, what could I do with those? Tuck them in a skirt? Tie them up to be cropped? Idk

I guess I’m just generally someone who has great fun in making the best out of what they already have.

Also, shoes. Holy cow, shoes. I’m a EU 48, which translates to a UK 13, a US mens’ 14 and a US womens’ 15. Not much choice, is there?

So many new thoughts zooming through my head right now, but this wall of text has to be enough for now, otherwise I wouldn’t be done typing until next week.

Who knows, maybe you’ll hear more from me over the next months of introspection.

      Hi^^
      I have to be honest, I’m both excited and nervous to have made this post. I’ve learned so much about myself in the last two years, but it seems that my journey isn’t over just yet

        TWO YEARS?! 😱

        All gender questions, or two years of general learning about yourself?

        I’m a little more than two months in and my therapist reassures me that it’s a long slow process, but my 'tism yells at me, “no! We need answers now!”

          Just general self-discovery, including things like sexuality and neurodivergence

          I feel that last sentence… Like I said in the very first sentence of this post, I’m not yet 100% sure about it, I still need some more time to self-reflect.

          I want to have the answers right now.

          Well, I have a few answers already.
          Does it make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you gals call me Nathalie, or when I put that name under an email to see how it looks?

          Yes. Absolutely yes.
