  • A decade ago this was less true, but dating apps on smartphones seem to be, as you say, for hookups. I just find it appealing to have a menu, which seems like an efficient way to select partners.

    May I ask, how did you meet your husband?

  • I prefer men. I enjoy uninhibited male sexuality, especially since I'm a bottom. It's not that I dislike women, but my sexuality has never been a good match for women outside of BDSM. I do not like vaginal sex and I do not understand all the cultural bullshit of gender roles which obviously don't apply to queer relationships.

  • Pre-transition me went out with another crossdressing guy I met on an app (which wasn't exclusively a gay app) because we had similar experience in free software stuff, so it seemed like there was a lot in common. We walked around and talked for a couple hours, and he told me that he thought he might be interested in guys, but after seeing me he wasn't. I'm not bad-looking either, but at the time it was low-key devastating.

  • University of Oklahoma has an organization and there are probably more at other colleges in the state. I can attest to the difficulties of online dating. There may also be LGBTQ resources in your town or nearby, like a social gathering at a community center or something.

  • Replace him with a suitable substitute on some dating platform. If you're in a major city, that shouldn't be difficult. If you're out in the sticks like I am, alcohol may be your only friend. Maybe get a job or attend a college in a place where gays can be gay.

  • I've been in femboy mode for the past 6 months, and it has not delivered results. Unless you count some negativity from an old lady on a bus. I've only been using nail polish for a couple weeks, and I did get a positive comment on that. Unfortunately, I'm tall and have stress lines on my face, so it's hard for me to feel cute, and I get into a negative feedback loop because of that.

  • so that everyone knows i'm still cis tho

    I'm still figuring out what a femboy is, and to me it seems to be just a new term for a male or enby-identifying transvestite or girly boy. In my experience as a half-slavic 31-year-old in the rural northwest, when I crossdress nobody knows my gender but everyone assumes I have a dick. I could be trans, it could be performance art, it could be laundry day. (Why the short shorts and mascara? Must be a fag.) All queers are the same to folks outside of this community, so to them your choice of gender matters less than how good you look overall.

  • I shave with specific brands of disposable twin-blade safety razor (Dorco, BIC, whatever gets you closest without cutting the skin) and shave gel. Gel seems to work a lot better than Barbasol cream.

    You can also use hair removal cream for touch-ups, though my facial hair is unfortunately a lot tougher than hair removal cream alone can handle.

    I hear that epilators (basically like an electric razor that goes a little deeper) work well, at least for body hair, though I haven't tried one yet.

    I hear that an epigenetic medication (not HRT) reduces the thickness of non-scalp hair to the genetic level you would have without androgens, but other factors like a history of shaving and your specific ethnicity may reduce the de-hairing effect. Many cis women shave.

  • I don't know why people are downvoting this. Thanks for reviving a dead board. In the same way that BDSM represents at least 80% of the LGBT community (see: leather pride flag), furries and the like probably represent a similar portion. (I might be a rare exception as someone who isn't currently a furry, but I do wear cat ears sometimes.) There are furry pride flag designs with a paw in the center, which I think look better than your design. I realize the ears and tail probably represent a broader range of diversity (like the progress pride flag vs the gay pride flag) but symbol recognition is important when so few furry-adjacent pride flags are currently flown (at least in the spaces I frequent).
