Cringing at My Old TikTok’s

[@yumenozen]

It feels like some of your style is going more towards higher fashion which looks good, but is a different vibe than summer dress Icky. Both are good.

[@WinoaKaronhiatens]

This is sort of me. I'm a bit more dressier than casual. I see Icky as wearing casual clothing generally, whereas I wear business casual clothes. I feel Icky has a natural appearance, which is great.

she's so pretty she can basically wear anything and still look cute. same with F1nn! I'm a cis woman and I still would love to look like them because they're just that pretty ❤ I do think I'm pretty of course but they're just super cute

"I have a baseline femininity that no-one can take away from me" - Icky 2024 Love this!

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

Yesss!!! You don't need to present super feminine or masculine on the outside, you just need to be secure enough on the femininity/masculinity that you just always have

[@mywïfeïsadoctor]

your waist advice actually helped me (ftm), I've never noticed myself that men and women wear trousers differently, and this really helps with passing, thank you, Icky! 💚

[@hammerth1421]

And then the jeans threaten to completely fall of my ass because I load my pockets with all sorts of crap while also refusing to wear a belt because autism...

[@echo.1209]

I always thought my skirts looked off in some way and it wasn't until I paid more attention to other fem people that I realised they wear the skirts much higher. Icky's video confirmed that it was what I was missing the whole time 😅

[@oranges3675]

@ville__ you are no older than 12

[@Kiasae]

same lmao! I just wanted to write this! I’ve noticed it recently from studying some eastern fashion, but with icky confirming it helped drive the point home haha. I wanna try to wear my trousers lower than im used to! I don’t pass that well but it’ll make me feel a bit more masculine

[@InsaneNines]

"I've stripped back on layering" was an amazing pun and I don't know why there aren't more people mentioning it

[@emilynelson5985]

I really like the fashion advices as something connected to the trans advice. It’s the stuff you seem the most enthusiastic about and while I have a different look, you’re offering a lot of universal insights.

[@Ancusohm]

I'd like more trans fashion advice too!

[@Rogers1977]

I got a pro tip for anyone thrifting clothing. Say you find a piece you like and think it might fit. But where I live, thrift stores don’t have fitting rooms. So I’ll look at the label and see who the brand is, then find their website on my phone to find a size chart. That usually gives me a better idea for fitting, along with knowing my body shape and what kind of cuts work well.

[@OftheBriar]

That's...actually genius.

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

This is actually such good advice, I'll definitely be using this in the future (as long as I remember it when I need to lol)

[@georgehermitage4704]

Yay a Tank appearance. I thought the sqeaky noise at first was coming from F1nn. 😂

[@reedgoodman2450]

You're so kind to your past self! Its so lovely to see

[@bunbunjackalope4415]

I'm a little over 2 years hrt, and trying to get more into fashion as I'm gaining confidence in my body. I actually enjoyed going shopping for my clothes now instead of dreading it. It's still a little tough bc not only am I seriously shopping for women's clothing for the first time in my life, but also trying to overcome the hurdle of being 30, so I often feel like a lot of clothes are either made for girls in their early 20s or women in the late 40s and my god is it tough to pick out an outfit that doesn't make me look like someone's elderly aunt while staying away from things that makee look like I'm trying to relive missed high school girl days 😵‍💫

[@QueerCodedBees]

Relatively new to the community, stumbled in from my r/egg days over a year ago and I'm now out and starting HRT soon, and you've been such an absolute godsend for my mental health! Thanks for being so cool, and kind, and visible

[@ajsteffen41]

I agree with a lot of the tips and the changes in the vid. Starting off there was a lot more of my focus on trying to ensure it was a femme style or to hide parts that were dysphoric with layers or different femme clothing styles. After 4 years of transition it just doesn't matter, I wear what I like and don't think about the perception because I just am female.

[@natashag4]

omg definitely do some fashion content, not hauls like you've done, but just stuff about putting together outfits, and talking about fashion, styles, trends and clothes

[@someoneweird4439]

Honestly I think how to put together an outfit is both fashion and trans advice content because holy shit did I struggle in my early days and still do the moment I try to do anything that isn't the one flavour of goth that I've grown accustomed to. And don't even get me started on colours I still have no idea how to wear colours!!!

[@harrisonlaws4866]

This advice was so helpful to me when i first came out. Like seriously the baggy bottoms tight top instantly got me compliments.

[@meeshaf2859]

I am a mother in her 50's. Probably not your typical demo. I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you are. You are helping people in so many ways through your informational videos and in building a safe community.

[@Sploberrie]

I do hip and butt exercises semi-regularly but I'm not on HRT yet, and I live by the baggy bottom rule. I don't like jeans as much, but baggy sweatpants also do the job very well. Also, tops that aren't that tight but that are in a specific shape that curves at the waist and opens back up towards the hips. It's all about creating the illusion. I also live by the "new waist" rule, I hate wearing any bottom that doesn't go up to or above my belly button.

[@ArgKnoxville86]

The "how to wear a skirt" is how I first found your tiktok channel ❤

[@Remmeeee]

prettiest person on the internet and absolute goals Your content helps a lot so thank you so much!

[@PongoXBongo]

That "pieces of layering" advice reminded me of the "piece of flair" bit from Office Space. 🤣

[@Taigan_HSE]

Layering is tricky for me because (1) I’m pretty overweight and (2) I tend to run hot. So unless I’m outdoors and it’s below 60°, more than one layer usually means I’m going to sweat. 😓

[@carimeslockdownedtree2654]

Very valid! There's no need to layer if it makes you uncomfortable. I don't layer too much myself. However, if you _do_ want to do it, have you considered really lightweight fabrics? Maybe a really thin and fresh shirt and another, also light, layer? It could be a thin cardigan, a light jacket, or oh! A beach wrap! It could be wrapped around your shoulders in fashionable ways while not being too stifling. There's many options you could try out if you ever wanted to! Or maybe one of those small and light scarves tied around your arm. And about the being outside thing, people, from what I've seen, don't tend to keep many layers on while inside, so you could dress up nicely while outside and then take off the extra layers indoors no problem. Hope that advice helps, if you decide to explore that route. But if not, that's fine as well! If you ever decide to try it out, I'd love to hear how it goes :) Either way, I hope you have a nice day!

[@blaireshoe8738]

Along the same lines as the other comment, this is why I love sheer layers. Visual pretties with breathability! I really only layer them on top of actual solid clothing so it doesn't touch my skin (sensitive lol), but you can play with contrast or just add a subtle texture over all/part of any part of your outfit. There are sheer tops, shrugs, pirate sleeves, skirts (you can cut the criminally small "liners" out of some very long sheer skirts and put them over ANYTHING), lace, embroidered, plain, the possibilities are endless.

[@chrisheartman9263]

Honestly being so blunt and going for "IT'S ALL IN YE FUCKIN NOGGIN" actually works. Because, yeag, you're gonna notice things that other's don't, but also, yeag, it *is* in your head.

[@iaincoombes4614]

Big icky all grown up now .... love all your work mate

[@SimplyMavAgain]

would absolutely love more fashion content. you have such an incredible eye for it and i feel like learning more about fashion from you would be really fun!

[@muddymudkip15]

More fashion videos would be great. Personally can't use much of the advice, but it never hurts to learn about stuff anyway.

[@mochigotbored]

I think summer dress and cardigan Icky is super cute! I wanna look like that

[@BreeMcdonagh-kg7le]

I love how icky has an actual office and f1nn has an attic

[@johnrmclin12]

I for one and super grateful for your transition to long form content.

[@ruglund]

Icky videos are always good- seeing babytrans icky was adorable

[@holydezmondgamez1728]

Ironically enough I never really liked short form content and never really used tiktok because of that, I always preferred KZbin in that sense

[@livvy94]

Same. I never downloaded TikTok so I'm glad that she's doing KZbin more

[@yourgirlkafka]

Could you possibly do a video showcasing all your outfits along with the specific names of the clothes you're wearing? For instance, the jeans you wore in this video, which also resemble a skirt to some extent, I wouldn't even know where to begin searching for their name :c

[@sagemcmichael8320]

One of the most helpful bits of information I've received as a trans man about my height dysphoria is that an inch or two is not gonna make you not short, so obsessing over finding the shoes that will give you the most height boost is ultimately pointless. I feel so much more confident accepting that I'm a short guy instead of having the perspective that I must do everything I can to try to make myself appear as masculine as possible. And the best part is, that advice came from a cis guy's video with a presumed cis male audience. It's so freeing when you understand that even cis ppl have a lot of the same insecurities about their bodies that we do as trans ppl. Granted, I am in a privileged position as a passing trans guy, but if I could go back in time and tell baby trans me one thing, it would be to stop obsessing over the small things....I was getting misgendered either way, so I might as well have had more fun with it🤠

[@ElIa600]

Funny when I first found myself out I looked through your complete tiktok backlog and watch every video haha

[@ColourlessQueen]

Yes PLEASE more fashion, I am hopeless on my own

[@rickyx1474]

You came along way, since then you’ve gotten better with it. Can’t wait to see more content

[@keatonium3298]

I watch these even though I already have heard most of the advice - it just makes my day better to know how many people are hearing it

[@jamessmurf7937]

Wow Icky you have progressed rapidly over 1 year, you r so comfortable being yourself, lots of love x

[@DirtbagLexi]

Lot of those old tik toks still live up, ballin since day 1

[@nevuberbean]

I look forward to your content every week. ALSO! what are those pants!

[@mooki-forever]

The most important tutorial she can make is how to cope with the loss of pockets

[@zenebean]

I got a nice handbag at a thrift store, but to be honest I mostly just use jackets with big pockets

[@mooki-forever]

@@zenebean the actual solution is to stop fake pockets

[@hammerth1421]

Dresses and skirts with proper pockets are rare, but do actually exist.

[@IllusiveChristie]

Normal stores kind of suck when you don't know size and have not come out yet.. I had to find my size 12 years ago way before I came out. Dressing private. Drove to a decent size city and go to thrift store in the early hours. No one there, and workers really don't care. Now Amazon let's you try before you buy, and also buy 3 sizes and just send back l what you don't want.

[@moonphase420]

Damn watching these tiktoks is giving me déjà vu from years ago when I watched these... Edit: Also, you should do a full makeup tutorial! I need to know how to do those freckles.

[@venusmora6033]

i love watching all the progress uve achieved since joining the internet, sending u love from costa rica!

[@bbbmd2007]

I've gotten to the point with my femininity that I feel comfortable wearing masculine clothes and still feel fem, but I can get myself to wear a dress shirt and pants, it can be one or the other, but not both (thats my gender dysphoria talking lol)

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

I'd definitely enjoy more fashion advice mixed in along with your usual content! Just making a fashion video every once in a while, or maybe even creating a separate channel just for fashion stuff would be a great idea

[@somnvm37]

I'll def watch the style and fashion content, ik style theory channel was a blast, and now that something like that would be from this channel it's gonna be even better.

[@reij007]

I agree with the layering bit however some MM6 and other high fashion pieces are very complicated and sometimes look like two or even three+ pieces

[@lizardlace9510]

The higher waist thing with skirts is one I’ve mentioned to a few trans fem friends over the years as they’ve started wearing skirts and such it can be such a game changer !!

[@JG-pj3bg]

Ashley always looks really nice ❤❤❤

[@issahslabe39]

Your videos always feel good to watch. It's a good vibe. I don't know if you take requests from the comments or things like that, but I was wondering if you had any advice for voice training? As someone who is very self-conscious about my voice, and it's the primary thing that gets me misgendered no matter how much effort I seem to put into my appearance, I'd love to hear tips, advice, anything you could offer.

[@mizlpix4027]

Thanks for making these videos, Icky! Your advice has been very helpful to me, both in the past and presently. I wish you, F1NN, and Tank all the best!

[@kuposamurai6045]

I just want to say that I really love your new summer outfit, it's very cool and unique looking and also very cute! Thanks for your fashion and trans advice videos, they are always a joy to watch.

[@Zoe.Phoenix]

As a trans women who didn't start until 36, OMG YES, just today I was looked in the mirror at work and was like wow my boobs look great! 11 months on HRT this weekend! That said the shoulder dysphoria is not from appearance, it is from clothing. I will be in a dressing room trying to get a dress over my head and I can hear the seems start to rip as i am putting it on. I cannot physically wear anything with arms because of my broad shoulders and im only 5'6". 100% of the dysphoria is literally from clothes not fitting because dresses with arms are so cute!

[@here4thecatvids]

I know it's outside the scope of this video, but I also noticed that the pronunciation of words is clearer now then the tiktoks that were shown. I don't know if it has something to do with showing a tiktok in a KZbin or anything, but I definitely had some audio processing problems with the tiktoks I don't have with the main video or most other Icky video's.

[@sihlgritsenko805]
