Do you have "that one thing" that always feels affirming? Something that you continuously return to because you know it'll make your day better?

I've been a little scared to try thigh highs and skirts. I want to but really nervous? That's usually a sign of something that is going to be super affirming.

Felt the same way about needing a bra and my wife finally just bought me some. Tried them on, saw my reflection and was like "yep, that's the good stuff" 🤣

I've been on HRT for over a year and just recently got my first skirt and thigh-highs. Absolutely worth it! I've not worn them out-and-about yet, but I will eventually.

I'm much more happy and confident with HRT, but I live in a deep red state. So...yeah. I am wearing fem clothes in public though, including a bra, but it's more subtle. Although my breast growth is forcing my hand here. 😅️
