the first picture is me on T for about 2 years taken about 2 months ago, second two were taken today

the first picture is me on T for about 2 years, second two were taken today (sorry for the filter i feel awkward taking pics without one) only a few weeks-1 month after stopping T and detransitioning. i almost didn’t detransition because i thought i could never look or feel cute as a girl again and even though i still mostly feel that way, even only being less than a month off of T (i still don’t even have my period and my hair is still super short) i was still able to make myself look and feel more feminine almost immediately by doing these things:
- although my hair is super short, even just cutting my bangs differently in a more feminine way instantly made my hairstyle pass as more feminine. i’ve also been using hair growth oil and taking womens vitamins with biotin in it and i already see a little hair growth in just a few weeks.
- the same week i detransitioned i went out and bought cute bras and underwear. i’m still a bit uncomfortable wearing super feminine clothes out since being on T made me gain weight and made my body shape more masculine so wearing skirts and certain shirts make me feel ugly, but i found wearing brown or white sweatpants with an oversized t shirt with a bra on made me feel cuter without making me uncomfortable. of course u can also still dress more masculine while being a girl, for me personally i just like looking cute. i didn’t own any bras or underwear while i was identifying as male i only had binders and boxers, so the switch to cute underwear instantly made me feel more feminine. i also got cute press on nails and got a lot of compliments on them combined with wearing minimal makeup (if youre not comfortable suddenly going all in with the makeup like me) and that itself has made a lot of people view me as a girl already.
- after detransitioning i’ve been able to let go and act more like myself, when i was trying to pass as male i tried to force myself to be more nonchalant and in a sense not caring, but after detransitioning i’m able to express myself better and be a more caring, expressive person and that itself makes me feel better.
i’m happy to answer anything !
