A little while ago, I finally come out as trans to my friends. They've been wonderful, supportive, and encouraging. They were honestly the whole reason I finally was able to discover myself, especially my GF. But, and here's the key, I'm in a very delicate living situation, I'm pretty poor, and I can't reasonably just leave where I am and live somewhere else, not right now at least. Between the world and my rather transphobic family, I'm kind of stuck. I obviously can't get more feminine clothing, hair, ANY makeup of any sort, or anything I really want to try. I don't wanna make this a whole sob story or anything, so basically. Does anybody have some advice to FEEL more like a girl?

Maybe you could try something that feels feminine to you that only you would see until you're in a safer space to be yourself? Maybe really cute pjs that your family wouldn't see cause you're alone at night, or undergarments, or something like that?

I did get some cozy bras and panties. I tried them on, felt good, like I was closer to who I wanted to be... and OMG, no one ever told me how SOFFFFTT women's undies are! I prefer to wear them just because of how comfortable they are, not even counting the whole gendered part of it XD
