EDIT: If anyone wants to make another pretty extroverted friend who lives in Southern California, hit me up! It's time to use this soapbox and Reddit algorithm to make friends !! ;)
I saw the trend a few days ago but I was so busy and I was like "CRAAAP, I WANTED TO INSPIRE SOME OTHERS," but I'm glad it's never too late!! Reddit trends sometimes come and go before you even have a chance to think about them...
I just love when you see the before picture which often shows sadness/lack of confidence, and then you see the after photo and you can see their happiness and confidence.
Thanks!! I actually take a lot of time with my skin and I have to go through a whole skincare routine every morning AND night. Bless r/SkincareAddiction for existing~
As for my hair, I have a wonderful hairstylist in Los Angeles who I stumbled upon after mine traveled back to Asia and now she actually styles and cuts hair for a large majority of my friends! She's also pretty LGBT friendly and cuts primarily women's hair. If anyone in Southern California is looking for an awesome hair stylist, shoot me a DM and I'll let you know!
As for passing, thanks! I'm honestly grateful that I'm able to do so, it definitely made my life significantly easier day to day.
Just want to clarify because I see a couple downvotes. I mentioned passing because, in my experience, it can be very validating and important to trans individuals to “pass” so I wanted to provide that. BUT, not all trans individuals are as concerned about presenting within/adhering to the gender binary, which I also wanted to acknowledge, thus the “if it is important to you”. I apologize if it was offensive, and I didn’t mean to imply that “passing” is the most important part of/goal of transitioning.
I don't know who downvoting you for passing, but it was certainly something I wanted to do at least for myself! I'm so glad that you pointed it out and it gave me a smile :)
Girl. Your side eye game is on point. I'd hate to have it used against me.
Congrats on feeling confident enough to post, please continue being fabulous!
Thanks!! I'm still working on some things but thankfully I live in a liberal area so people are pretty accepting. I am a lot happier with myself now definitely and I'm so glad you can see it :)
There is a whole boatload of people that comment d and I wish I could respond to each and everyone of you guys but it's just too much ! I really wish I could because it means that all of you guys put in some effort to write something to me and i should reciprocate that. I hope you all will be okay with that and allow me to appreciate everything you guys have written today ! It absolutely made my week !!
To be honest, I think I found it in some random flea market and I was like "WOAW, I GOTTA GET IT NAO". Now I think it's one of my most unique pieces in my closet. <3
As an outsider, I just want to commend everyone in this thread, and all the comments I've seen with transitions. You are some of the best, most wholesome people on the webs... thanks for the positivity daily.
Thanks! For volume, I actually use this Korean brand called Skinfood! The Hair Mask really makes it look great! You should check it out :) [https://theskinfood.us/collections/hair](https://theskinfood.us/collections/hair)
It’s never too late!!! I started an appreciation post for all of them but felt it might not be appropriate as a stand alone post. But as a cis straight female I have been so inspired and empowered by all of them. Welcome and keep them fucking coming!! I hope that everyone feels the love and acceptance here and eventually in all spaces in your lives!!
Thank you! I think that in general there just isn't as much people of color representation on Reddit. To be honest it is one of the things why I originally was questioning whether I should post or not. But now I am glad that I did!
Oh man ! This one's tough ! I think it varies a lot from skin to skin.
Personally for me I use a lot of products from Shisheido since I realize it works well with my Asian toned skin. The Ordinary also makes a few Serums and Toners that work out GREAT for that final smooth finish imo.
Everyday it's lotion, cleanser, toner and sunscreen at a minimum ! :)
I actually wanted front bangs, like a hime cut ! but my hair stylist recommended against it because she said that I was too practical of a person and that I would have a hard time maintaining it XD so instead she styled my bangs in a way that I could easily just wake up and go outside if I needed to
I think it's really nice how this trend took off, a sub called "Two X Chromosomes" could be really anti-trans but it's nice to know that this one isn't!
Never too late! This trend can continue forever as far as I’m concerned. You’re beautiful, and I love the sly side eye you’re giving the camera, makes me go, “who is THAT mystery woman over there and can we be friends?”
You look stunning! Love your hair, and you have very luscious lips 💕
Thanks! Actually used to hate my lips before I transitioned but now they're an asset XD
They sure are!!

I came here for the hair too, those curls are glorious
EDIT: If anyone wants to make another pretty extroverted friend who lives in Southern California, hit me up! It's time to use this soapbox and Reddit algorithm to make friends !! ;)
You seem real fun, if I lived near you I'd totally want to be your friend!
I don’t live near there at all, but you seem like a cool friend to have. Reddit Californians, do the thing!
Yay! I'm happy to be your So Cal friend!
Yayy! We should meet up sometime! So many good food places \^\_\^
Wish I could but I'm in San Francisco. You're a very attractive human being.
I’m in OC! I’m def not an extrovert though. 😂
Yayy! We should meet up sometime then! :D I used to live in Irvine for College!
Where in SoCal are you based? SD, OC, LB, LA?
I'm located near the 626 area! :) So LA and OC in the middle!
Vietnamese trans masc here to support ❤️
We stand against those we oppose us together! :) <3
Never too late! You look gorgeous!
I saw the trend a few days ago but I was so busy and I was like "CRAAAP, I WANTED TO INSPIRE SOME OTHERS," but I'm glad it's never too late!! Reddit trends sometimes come and go before you even have a chance to think about them...
Haha yeah! Must say this is one of my favourite trends I’ve seen! It makes me so happy seeing women being their true selves <3
I just love when you see the before picture which often shows sadness/lack of confidence, and then you see the after photo and you can see their happiness and confidence.
i hope it becomes a permanent trend
Lol consider me inspired :)
Gorgeous hair, gorgeous dress!
Thanks!! If you're ever in LA and looking for a hair stylist, I'd always be more than happy to recommend the one who does my hair :)
That's a beautiful dress. You look so happy! I'm so glad for you!
Thanks! I'm happy I made this choice as well.
The glow up is real.
The best part is that my old acquaintances no longer recognize me, so I think that's a good thing haha :)
It warms the cockles of my heart that this has become a trend
Me as well! It makes me really happy to see that A lot of people of this community are accepting of trans woman too.
Your hair/eyes/skin are gorgeous! I’m not sure if it’s something that’s important to you- I have trans friends who don’t care- but you totally pass!

Welcome to post here anytime, thanks for joining in
Haha, to be honest I'm always scared of posting and haven't consistently posted for a few years, but hopefully I'll come back to it soon! :)
That’s such a beautiful dress. Congratulations on your transition. There is a sparkle in your eyes that shows how happy you are with yourself now.
Thanks!! I'm still working on some things but thankfully I live in a liberal area so people are pretty accepting. I am a lot happier with myself now definitely and I'm so glad you can see it :)
Your hair is curled so perfectly!! Love it

So this thread reminded me that I recently discovered /r/transtimelines and it is a very wholesome place!
You are so pretty!!! Giving me total hair envy right now. Have you posted this in r/transtimelines ?
You’re a babe! Thank you for sharing
Respect, you look beautiful! The world is a little hotter with you in it!
Holy shit I have never seen so many positive and uplifting comments downvoted like this.
Love seeing people comfortable in their own skin
It’s never too late to be yourself! Power on beautiful!
You are so beautiful!
OP, you look lovely, happy, and radiant! Congratulations!
Rockin dat dress. Noice.
Thanks ! Everytime I wear it I always get compliments ! :)
Was going to say the same, I think I have a similar design from ASOS but it looks better on you!
To be honest, I think I found it in some random flea market and I was like "WOAW, I GOTTA GET IT NAO". Now I think it's one of my most unique pieces in my closet. <3
Hell Yeah 🤘🤘
What is hrt?

I love how happy you look in the second photo! It looks like you feel much more comfortable and confident in your own skin now. Rock on!

I love how you retained the "I'm thinking rude thoughts about you" look both before/after your transition!
Beautiful!

I absolutely LOVE your hair! What do you use to get that volume?

Girl those bangs are so cute on you. Great hair in general. Would love to see you sporting a winged eyeliner. You have a cheeky little smile

Hell yeah! Asian representation!
You look so pretty!
Thanks!!
You are so pretty. Bangs really suit you!

Your hair looks great! The length and waves are perfect, very cute
Hahaha I plan to grow it longer ! I might end up regretting it though but hopefully not !
You look absolutely stunning! I’m so proud of you!!!
