Reddit reviews Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story

For a second I honestly believed / had hope that you were my mom writing this post. I recently came out to my mom in March (been on HRT since June) and it's been a mostly negative experience. Your first couple of sentences directly relate to my situation (like the 3 boys that are now 1 daughter & 2 sons).

My mom knows I am on Reddit and until I got to the part about your daughter being 24 (I am 29) I honestly had a small glimmer of hope she was trying to reach out to me in some weird way. Now I am over here crying because again I feel cheated by the universe that my mom is being the way she is.

I apologize for the above, but I really just needed to get it off my chest.

To answer your question:

• For me I found clothes to be the most rewarding (even if I could only wear them around the house). Online shopping is much less stressful than in store shopping when first coming out.
  
• Makeup can be daunting initially and I am still hesitant to even attempt it for fear of failure most days... but every woman is different, some are all about it right away!
  
• The initial shave is pretty brutal and takes a very long time. But after that (as I am sure you know) it's just upkeep. I find that my old beard trimmer works EXTREMELY well for all of my shaving needs!
  
• If your daughter is into reading, I would recommend this book.

  Honestly, any of the options you already mentioned are fantastic. Also, flowers! My wife buys me flowers now and it is the most amazing feeling when she shows up with them! The biggest and most meaningful gift that you can give is something that you are already giving.... your support and willingness to accept her.... because not everyone has that, and this whole process is a LOT more difficult without support.
