at one point while getting my desired face, i believe my eyebrow hair genuinely filled-in a little more. first pic is from 2/2025 and the other from 7/2026. someone in another subreddit said it was "just a difference in lighting" but I really thought my brows were changing and it made me feel dumb when they said that.
Over the past year or so i've really been taking my trans identity seriously. So I started manifesting higher testosterone on and off since 2/2025, and one of the big things that i could notice differently right away was thicker/more filled in brows. At first I thought it was genetic (my dad is an insanely hairy guy), but it seems to be a common pattern i've seen with other trans friends. I'm thinking it probably *is* genetic since no 2 people are the same but idk.
Idk it's just weird. All through my life so far, i've been a typical, casual, name brand sneaker-wearing guy. But over time my style evolved into more of an athleisure look from seeing other guys look cool in slides and sweatpants. I got a pair of Nike slides, simple black Nike slides. But something about the shoe being open-toe and me not wanting to wear socks with the slides as a preference is a problem to my mom?? Like she acts like me not wearing socks in colder autumn weather is gonna make my toes freeze off. It's 66 degrees relax 😭 Part of it might be because my previous style (that didn't include shoes) was very artsy/French with turtlenecks and monochromes, so seeing this sharp transition is maybe jarring? She even said one time "you used to dress so well.." My sense of self is just evolving, I've just realized how much I like athleisure..
