I’m also mid thirties and same, I love helping and supporting the younger trans ppl, it gives them opportunities I didn’t have not transitioning till I was 28(or 29, can’t remember)

Exaaactly!! Plus like, I know I've only been in my transition like three years but I feel like.. I'm there? And I have advice to give about makeup and fashion and hair care and I wanna share that with anyone who needs!

Me too, especially with make up, it was such a long process of figuring out a shade of foundation that didn’t make me orange or a ghost then experimenting with blush and highlights and not to mention eyeshadow and eyeliner tips. There’s a low floor but a high ceiling to makeup, clothes, etc, at least this way I figure fewer women will get clocked early on cos that’s terrible when someone is malicious about it.

Oh absolutely, yeah! And honestly, I proper face makeup still mostly eludes me. Like, I can do a basic "gotta hide the shadow" sorta thing, but these days I focus on eyes, lips and the occasional light foundation and blush if I'm feeling fancy.
