Need Guidance: Becoming More Feminine

Hello. I am a 35-year-old male-to-female crossdresser. My height is 5 Feet 6 Inches, weight is 82 Kgs. I have a decent petite figure, but have a naturally broader frame - thicker thighs, broader shoulders, arms, and wide feet (Size 9 India). Now, I want to move toward a softer, more feminine appearance. I want to enhance things like – 1. A more feminine body shape (especially around chest, waist, hips, legs, & feet) – More fat in chest and hips 2. Smoother, softer skin with less body hair 3. More feminine facial features & overall presentation 4. A more feminine voice & mannerisms. As of now I am not planning a full transition due to personal reasons. But expressing femininity in my body, appearance, and energy feels deeply important to me. I need guidance on tips, food, supplements / medicines, and also in terms of fitness, grooming, styling, skincare, or voice training. I am very much desperate to be very much feminine and womanly. Truly appreciate your guidance.

Bone Cracking Sound issue knees

I have been experiencing a persistent cracking sound in my knees whenever I bend them deeply or sit with my legs crossed, and this issue has gradually become more noticeable over time. Recently I also noticed similar sounds beginning in my shoulder, which has made me more concerned about what might be causing these sensations. Although the cracking is not always accompanied by pain, there are moments when my knees feel uncomfortable and even slightly painful after repeated movement or extended periods of sitting or standing, which affects my daily routine and makes me more cautious about my movements overall.
