So, I just had the realization a few days ago that i’m probably trans. I shaved my legs for the first time today and WOW! Physically it feels great, all smooth and soft, but mentally it just feels RIGHT. Like this is something i should have been doing forever. Its kind of overwhelming for such a small thing, but i just felt like i needed to share this with someone. Now i need to figure out how to buy girly clothes that fit…

Also it look forever and im sure i missed the hard to reach places, so id appreciate any pro tips!

    Congrats on cracking your egg! Welcome to the family! A few things that I suggest to start out with is to begin wearing panties under your boy mode clothes. Also paint your toenails. Long flowing skirts are amazing must-haves in your new wardrobe, look for “maxi skirts” and pair them with any old T-shirt and a cardigan for an instant easy girly look!

    I was overwhelmed when I finished shaving my legs, belly and arms for the first time and ran my hands over my smooth skin and started to cry. I felt so much euphoria. After 2 weeks though I got tired of constantly shaving every 2 or 3 days and the stubble feels so bad. My friends gifted me an epilator for my birthday and I’m so glad that I powered through the pain because now I only need to do it like every 4 weeks and there is no prickly stubble.

    You shaved your legs with a regular razor, or electrical?

    Perhaps try hair removal creme (something like Veet), just throw it on your legs, let it soak it for several minutes and then remove your jellified hair with a spatula. Your skin gets smooth as a baby face. I love it :)

      I tried an electrical razor, but ended up using a regular bladed one. Ive heard of those cremes, but kind of assumed they didnt work very well. I’ll have to try that out! Sounds much easier.

        I have really thick and dark hair on my arms and with the creme the hair just looked away for several weeks. It was magical.

        So yeah I don’t think that legs will be any different.
