No, you don't legally need it. Yes, it will help when companies get anal like this.

I wear these x-small and they keep everything in place. I then wear another pair of knickers. I have bought loads of them as there are the thing that works best for me.

I have a really dark, thick beard. I just went to this website (http://feminizationsecrets.com/transgender-crossdressing-beard-shadow/) and did an Amazon search for each item.

As for a colour corrector I used this one (which helps blur it out) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technic-Colour-Corrector-Palette-Shades-x/dp/B01H6W0UH2/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1486502323&sr=1-1&keywords=colour+corrector

Then if you're like me you'll have to use a medium coverage foundation, loose powder and finally powder foundation following that.

I was lucky enough to see a speech therapist, and almost everything we did was covered in this book! You can get it on Amazon "The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People: A Practical Guide to Creating and Sustaining Authentic Voice and Communication".

We used it as a tool during sessions, and you could follow along everything she was talking about page for page. I never liked you tube guides cause I always compared myself to the person and it made me dysphoric, but this book was incredible, I could just sit quietly by myself and work through it.

We used a pitch app as well (Android & IOS), it is very simple compared to the other app suggested, read a passage and it tells your pitch range - I was always told to aim for high androgynous low to mid female, as a trans woman.

Zoff Adhesive Remover wipes are like magic.

And as you have posted that you are overweight ... I personally recommend Dr. Greger/Nutritionfacts.org: a whole-food plant-based diet. I went from 75 to 60-65 without exercise over ~2 years. First went the meat and dairy. Then the fish and eggs. Then the added sugar and salt (I have no sugar bag or salt in my kitchen).

My go-to breakfast since ever: oats with stuff

• rolled oats cooked in the microwave for ~3 mins, covered in plenty of soya milk (ASDA brand) 1 part oats, 2 parts soya milk minimum. Add more later to mix well the following dry ingredients ..
  
  
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (ceylon!) mixed well together = cocoa oats meal
  
  
• put on one side of the bowl 1-2 tablespoon flaxseed milled
  
  
• cover the other side of the bowel with 2-3 tablespoon dollops of Alpro Soya Yoghurt
  
  
• 1 cut up apple, pear, banana, a handful of frozen berries (ASDA), add on top.

I used to use this when I had shadow and it worked really well for me:

I got these ones - only around 20 quid and arrived next day!

Sports bras! It took me ages to get someone to tell me this but if you're looking for something for 'subtlety' then sports bras are good. Also for sports.

I went with:

• This in medium https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A57T47I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• This in small: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YA2QG1Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  And took the padding out as it looked a little unusual lying flat as it did/mostly still does on me.

I can't seem to find the ones that I've ordered in the past (which is annoying as I could do with some more!) but there are loads of different ones to be so have a look around and see what suits you x

Its a little under £64 if you buy it on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/DERMATIX-GEL-60G-TUBE-SILICONE/dp/B007WDXAVY/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518703496&sr=8-3&keywords=dermatix&dpID=31kqLdskKsL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I used it after ffs on my trachea shave scar but tbh im not sure it did much.

PayPal are shitty. It took me four attempts whilst they turned it down because my deed poll is "not an official court document". I phoned them up, was assured it would be fixed and they rejected it again. Repeat three times.

ETA: My deed poll is a DIY job I printed out and I didn't stick any seals on it

ETA2: You can get seals from stationers or online [amazon] if that's easier than arguing with them.

When I was looking around for FFS, I discounted him because of the lack of before and afters, including from himself, and what there was, wasn't anything to write home about. I also didn't like the hairline incision and a couple of other little bits and bobs.

He's competent, and for what he does, he does well, and if you're getting it on the NHS, then take it.

If you were paying for it, i'd be saying "Look around, because what you think is cheap isn't actually that cheap".

Regarding your hairline though, cause a ton of people think "lower hairlines = feminine" when in a lot of cases, that isn't so, have a read of this, and while you're also reading, get a copy of the "FFS Bible". That book goes through all the types of surgery the father of FFS developed, the reasons why things are done that way, and even where other surgeons have fucked up peoples skulls because they had no idea what they were doing.

That way you can walk in being a lay-expert in it and know exactly what's happening and why.
