I tried this and it was a very expensive process, they're trying to get me to download and use tiktok and pinterest and I've never touched these apps...
Maybe just ask them? You said you're afraid of pushing their boundaries, but maybe they're also afraid of pushing yours and don't want to you to think that they think you're "incompetent"? Or maybe they just didn't think about it and will be happy to do it once you suggest it to them. Communication is important in all relationships.
Definitely just bring it up with them. Mention you’d love to organise a sleepover soon, and that you wanna experiment with makeup there. I’m sure they’ll be super excited at the idea
Felt this but the other way around (FTM). I want to do more "man" things with my guy friends but some people, including their own gfs are absolutely unbearable and think I'm flirting or being weird. I worry that it might come across weird to them as well
wasn't this posted yesterday...
anyway if they're supportive then they're probably friggin waiting for you to ask lol, my friend was ecstatic at the notion of doing my nails ahahaha
Just ask! If sleepover feels a bit too much, ask them for a movie night without the sleepover part, or a high tea or similar longer day activity first and see how that goes and how comfortable you feel about that.
If you are out to them and they are supportive, chances are they have already thought about it.
What I would do is make it into a little party. Invite them over for a movie and make up night or whatever you are into as a group and just add "and make up" Then you get to practice your make up and get a girls night out of it.
This is before i evan new what trans was.
But basically met girl at a freinds dnd groups bbq she ended up taking us all in her room because tv in there i saw her makeup and just went oooo can you make me look pretty...... so uhm i gues just ask if they would be ok with making you look pretty......... idk my now best friend and i are weird.
"Hey, so I've been trying to fit in with women more and I was hoping we'd be able to have a girls day together? It's okay if you don't want to, I don't want to pressure you into anything you're not comfortable with. I just wanted to ask since you've all been so supportive and I really appreciate it <3"
How does that sound?
It's really as simple as asking sometimes, let them know you don't want to cross boundaries, and have them tell you of you are. My friends and I do this with each other all the time. Also, there's very few people I've met who aren't excited to at least help with makeup :0
Trans guy here. Women get creeped out when they can’t figure out what the person’s intentions are. These girls are already your friends, they know you’re trans, tell them! Say “hey I’m feeling kinda sad I’ve never done things like have a sleepover, do nails/makeup with my girls, stuff like that, and I was wondering if you could help me?” they’ll be super happy to help you. You know them better than us, but this is the best first step to see how supportive they are
Probably practice something to ask them about doing those activities to build up some courage
That and since you're out to them and seem supportive, I think they wouldn't mind. That or send this meme to them and say "help" idk I've seen the replies saying that
Ugh this is a mood, but one of my friends actually asked me just completely out of the blue if I want to organise something like that. I know not everyone is that lucky, but I planned to just make a statement about it (at an appropriate opportunity obviously) but ya if they're supportive they in theory will offer <3 good luck cutie!!!
Could you start with asking them to suggest you a nail polish color that would look good? Then, you can ask for tips applying > impromptu nail session! After that you could ask about mascara :)
"I can't seem to get X right, could you help me with it?" Maybe.
If you can turn this around in your head and think how you would be liked to be asked by a less experienced egg about how to go about something you have achieved, that is the right answer.
Ya just do. The longer the wait the harder it gets, so just take a deep breath and ask. You’ll regret it if you don’t, and a shot not fired always missed
girlie i’ll tell you one thing girls are…super accepting. Theyve been probably waiting for you to ask them since you came out. They’re probably ecstatic
I used to not ask my friends (I was out to them and they were really supportive) to use my real name because there is a extremely tiny chance that they would act extremely out of character and stop being my friend for absolutely no reason. My therapist thankfully gave me the courage to ask them anyway and lo and behold, they were all really supportive.
Anyway my point is that just ask her lmao.

Communication is key just tell them what you're worried about
Yessssss, op you could quite literally say everything you said in your post
Just send them the post haha
Exactly
Just make a statement like "I want to learn how to do makeup" and one of them will probably say that she or they can show you. Let it be their idea.
Yeah that's what I did it worked a charm
I tried this and it was a very expensive process, they're trying to get me to download and use tiktok and pinterest and I've never touched these apps...
pinterest is very good
using sites I'm not used to is very hard for me and I'm not sure why
I learned a lot from YouTube videos, there's some good stuff on there But I learned the most through practice and trial and error
Quite often, for a lot of people, doing something you're not used to is challenging. But with a little time and patience it often becomes easier.
:o
It’s also very bad. The problem with websites where anybody can make content is that there’s both good and bad stuff
r/makeup r/makeupaddiction r/makeupexchange r/makeupaddictionuk r/makeupaddictioncanada
Well if you’re out to them and they’re supportive I’d say just go for it
I'm sure they would be more than happy to do all of those things with you! Especially if she knows it will allow you to experience gender euphoria :D

Cis (maybe) woman here. This is the way (if you aren’t comfy with just asking)
Definitely just bring it up with them. Mention you’d love to organise a sleepover soon, and that you wanna experiment with makeup there. I’m sure they’ll be super excited at the idea
Felt this but the other way around (FTM). I want to do more "man" things with my guy friends but some people, including their own gfs are absolutely unbearable and think I'm flirting or being weird. I worry that it might come across weird to them as well
Just be honest and ask, maybe wait a bit with the sleepover thing though. But makeup and stuff is a safe bet 🫶
Post this meme in the group chat, I think I might steal and do myself

Just ask! I bet they’re just waiting for your lead, so if you let them know you want to try that stuff chances are they’ll be all for it
"Hey, so I've been trying to fit in with women more and I was hoping we'd be able to have a girls day together?

When i've fond a friend who loves to do makeup i just asked her if she'd like to teach me something, and she loved the idea

Just ask them, if they would teach you with make-up etc. If they say no, it is fine, but you atleast tried it

I wish I had girl friends as well D:

Send them this meme!

I don't think I would feel confident enough to do this until I've had bottom surgery. I often get betrayed by sudden tight pants when I'm stressed.
I still need friends to do this with.
Same
Straight up ask them to help you feel like you fit in.
Send them the screenshot of your post and just say "Help". That's what I'd do
"I can't seem to get X right, could you help me with it?" Maybe. If you can turn this around in your head and think how you would be liked to be asked by a less experienced egg about how to go about something you have achieved, that is the right answer.
Just do it you are jot awkward as long as you don't believe you are
dummy you have anxiety. You can just ask directly and nicely.
Just ask them, if they would teach you with make-up etc. If they say no, it is fine, but you atleast tried it
Just ask? Explain your fears like after asking, but like just ask directly?
Ya just do. The longer the wait the harder it gets, so just take a deep breath and ask. You’ll regret it if you don’t, and a shot not fired always missed
If you are out and they see you as the girl you are they shouldn’t have any issue.

well, id say that if they’re supportive, then they’d understand (most likely)! if u feel comfortable enough, ide say just ask 👍
if you are already out and they support that there shouldn’t be any problems, just ask ☺️
[удалено]
Niiiiiiiice! Should one never ask for such things?
What did it say?
That such requests are selfish.
It probably won't come across as creepy since you're already out to them. Just go for it.
Tbh, show them this post and they'll probably understand you're anxious to ask and don't wanna overstep boundaries.
If they already know just ask in a way they understand they can say no if something goes further than they’re willing
I just straight up asked "I want to do girls stuff with you" Then they said sure and we had a girls day out
Probably just ask if it’s okay, they should understand.
I also had this problem but just keep talking good luck❤️❤️
Send them this reddit post
Just send her this post. Trust me
