Same car, new girl. Left is about three years before transition, right is about a year in with HRT and five months out from FFS

These pictures are about 13 months apart. Crazy what HRT and happiness can do! (And eyeliner/peircings 😝)

Ive been on HRT just over 1 year now

Today marks 7 years since I began my transition and started hormones. I also turned 40 this year and this past year has been filled with so many memories. Many are happy, but not all.

From a transition standpoint, no new changes happened in the last year. My body feels like my body and I am working very hard to keep it working at the highest performance levels. The only remaining possible big changes that I see as a possibility in the future, with no definite timeline, would be voice training, and possibly Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). Vocal training so I am no longer called “Sir” over the phone or so strangers and children do not do double takes when overhearing me speak. FFS, brow and tracheal shave, to further feminize my face. Vocal training takes time, and consistent effort, something I struggle with especially in my line of work. FFS runs the risk of nerve damage and loss of muscle control. Which is why both things have not happened yet.

Reflecting on the past year, the growth I have experienced has been more relationship focused. Learning to explore a new dynamic within ENM, new experiences, feelings, and impulses that come along the way, and learning to communicate better with those that I want in my life.

The past couple weeks I have been reminded how much I am loved by the people around me and I cannot express how wonderful that has made me feel. I look forward to this weekend of breakfast, broadway, and baking in the sun by the pool. I look forward to a future where my rights are not constantly eroded, where my peers don’t struggle for healthcare, employment, or acceptance by society. I look forward to the “big beautiful day” but know when it happens not much will have changed. I look forward to and will work towards the better future that we all deserve.

4 months of HRT + another 15 of social transition and self-love ☺️

Happy egg-day to me (July 27th is when my egg cracked. I’ll be going out to breakfast 🍳)

A little over two years into my transition, based on my progress I feel I have another two to three years of
puberty left. I'm wanting to get Pelvic Plasty and Clavicle Shortening Surgery. Still have LOTS of voice, corset, makeup, and sissy + cardio training/fitness to do. My regimen currently is just SubQ Estradiol 0.3ml @ 6mg oral equiv weekly + 100mg Progesterone Daily.

Shoutout to the girlies! And if you're a mod, DM me if you have ANY concerns!

e: Oh and yes my hair is real! Very thick and naturally dark brown. For some reason people ask me that a lot lol. I just get split ends trimmed off here and there plus the occasional jet black dye with a cosmetologist. I have yet to start any training/feminizing fitness; Just calorie counting. And no, I'm not wearing one of those chest thingies, these girls are real! PLUS, I did get lucky with swayback as well as hip widening from just the HRT alone (I started in my early 20s)!

I think I'm starting to look like my mom 🙂

I FEEL SO HAPPY NOW. It was quite literally the best decision i could do and i’m happy that i’m here.

time goes fast.. and boom its almost a year❤️

almost 6 years on t ♡

​

I don't know if this changes are normal, or if i have to increase the dose, i really still hate my shoulders i have too much muscle

4.5 years HRT and some weight loss and I am starting to be able to look in the mirror and smile. The road has been hard but it’s worth it.

Kinda changed a bit
