just hanging out here.

  • depending on where you want to go, consideration of oil on the nails and different coatings are important. there are also noticeable differences between fabricators, but i you just want pretty nails, i'd say just start!

    first thing you'd learn is applying consistently, that will take some time no matter what polish you use. my routine is this:

    • decide on color
    • decide on a movie
    • prepare everything for the night (pj, brushed teeth, glass of water? ...)
    • start the movie (90+ min.)
    • start painting your nails (i use some magazine to protect my sheets)
    • watch the movie. dont't do anything else, that requires your hands too much.
    • turn off the device and sleep.
    • in the morning wash your hands thorougly. if there is a little nailpolish on your skin here and there, it'll break and wash off quite easily.

    a transparent top coat might be nice if you work with books/paper a lot. else you'll leave colourfull stripes.

  • er hat diese wirkung auf leute

  • keep.

    i can't explain, only rationalise.

  • stimmt schon darüber hab ich noch gar nicht nachgedacht.

  • i would have to be way cooler to work with something as cool as lasers.

    oh wait. you mean styropyro (yt-link, sry), when you say 'big laser', don't you?

  • good luck! trust big laser. they are really nice.

  • i had similar thoughts. stuff like planing my bodies surfaces ... did not do. :) it got better after i came to think of myself as trans and even better with hrt. i once plucked every aingle hair in my face with pincers, though. that wasn't a good day. but laser has helped a lot on that end.

    i have come to even like my body. :)

  • es ist auch einfach gut und führt ironischerweise dazu, dass mein dörfchen (in D) nun ne bessere anbindung an Luxemburg und Paris hat, als in irgendeine deutsche Stadt. außerdem: Luxemburg (Stadt) ist seither viel weniger stressig. wer hätte damit gerechnet?

  • I often need that time before I can come to a proper conclusion

    i do too. but that delay decreased over the last months when i started hrt. i'm curious how that works out for you. this thing abt color intensity i heard of, but i did not expirience it. for me is touch.

    as always, have a good ride!

  • oh yeah, girl! <3

  • hang in there! you got this. :3

  • eggsaggtly :3

  • ok, so i'll give it some time and a bit more practice. :) thanks for sharing your story

  • ... we did have quite a bit of experience with phonology and linguistics in general, which was definitely a HUGE help.

    oh yeah i did too. unfortunately i soon realised that all my focus in phonetics was about consonants. (i am really good at those!) so my knowledge about vowels could be better and thus more helpfull. :/

    we found that when speaking english it sounded better in a recording than it did when we were speaking out loud, but in german language it is the opposite.

    i made a similar observation. in those laguages i do not use often in everyday life (which includes my native language) it is easier to apply the new voice. maybe in part, bc i don't hear the nuances or don't have much comparison? for sure it is also that i am not that stuck in my habits, when speaking those. in languages i am not remotely fluent, i have to much else to think about, and can't 'do a voice' yet.

    we still do a lot of "1, 2, 3" etc. prior to speaking, just to feel on the safe side.

    you do that in prep for a meeting or giving a talk? or like also in between shops? i haven't really thought about including small preparation units in my day

    thank you for sharing!

  • i knowwwwa. ... trying to sing makes me cry rather quickly. my primary school had a choir in which all kids sang. i did not. i had a 'special class' with like 5 others, where we clapped with these music stick thingies. i did learn early to please stop singing.

    it sounds super logical, that that would be a good training. atm i just recite poems in the fem voice and try to not sound high while doing so ... hm.

  • we will all nail this somehow. :) i hope ..

    it is really super helpfull to have someone correct you immediately. my guy is really strict. when it's falsetto time, it is falsetto all the time, even in the small syllables no one cares about. this is a topic i could never diy, i feel like. because i don't hear if i do the practices right, i only start to get a feel for what to do, through his instructions.

    i wish you a lot of strength! 💖

    voice training – i guess i like it?

  • ich wünsche dir eine gute zeit. :)

  • wheeeeeeee! i'm glad for you. this is a very exciting moment. i'll give you my two pennies, do as you wish with them: if possible, and you are ready for it search for local support groups. for me it was very important to semi-regularly meet those other trans people, and actually see their faces. online discourse is helpfull too, but knowing there are other trans people in town you can connect with (more or less) was a "i am not alone" moment. (i got dragged there by a trans friend, i came out to first, so technically i already knew, but .. there were even more of us! 🤩)

    enjoy your day. and go forward in your pace. you will find even more joy. :3

  • ahhhh this only adds to the list of solutions to a problem i am unsure about. ;)

  • Trans @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    what did you learn from being trans?

  • Transfem @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    i told my friends my name. am crying.

    learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what?

  • Transfem @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    HRT is great. (for me. and it's a bit scary. for me.)

  • Transfem @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    i feel like i didn't do my homework

  • linuxmemes @lemmy.world

    at least i found a reliable man
