Containing The Excitement

Ladies:

I will ask you all to think back to when you first started hormones and the rush of feelings and excitement that race through your mind. The first number of weeks really nothing was happening; the last week or so some tingling in the nipple area but the last few days my skin has absolutely gotten soft.

I keep rubbing my arms and hands to see if it real, and it is - My skin is much muhc softer. I have to wait about a half year or so before I can jump out into the world as a woman, but I am hoping the physical changes will be well on their way and I am SO excited about the upcoming changes and can only hope that the fat redistribution, the breast and areola/nipple growth and the mental changes are well on the way.

I have never been so in tune with my mnd and body and I can begin to imagine how wonderful and different a bath will feel; I have been a shower type of person in the past. Has anyone else started to enjoy bathing more often as opposed to showers?

I enjoy reading the stories and experiences and I am learning so much from all of you and thanks for everything!

oooo hot bubbly bath nothing like it to sooth the soul. In the nearly 4 months Ive been on hormones my skin has softened beautifully, the hairs have started softening and lightening out, I seem to be one of the lucky ones since it has nearly clobbered my beard growth (YMMV on this). The scales say I am putting on weight but I can't for the life of me see where. Now if I could loose this cycle my body is setting up id be fine

I love a long hot relaxing bath,showers are for when I have some place I must be.

And new sister,Welcome to your womanhood and the journey of your lifetime.

Yes our skin gets baby soft and freaks out those who knew the old us that it has

become so girlishly soft.I am Angie,in transition thirty months today...yay.

Wait until those womens arms start coming,and that wonderfully hairless body.

You have a lot to look forward to on this magical long journey,as the changes

keep slowly but steadily happening.

Big Soft Hugs Paula,

Angie

Oh my....

Welcome to womanhood, Honey...

I'm 9 months in and it's all happened to me , too....

Soft skin is the thing that I REALLY like (breasts are great, too, but......)

And taking care of it is paramount!

It cuts/tears so easy now....

So, long hot bathtub soaks are in order followed by a nice fragrant lotion!

Yes... that skin is soft now...I love it!

Huggs!

My favorite scent is Lavender.I use it with my liquid soap and body lotion.

Mmmmmm so feminine.I lotion immediately after bathing,while my body

is still damp.My skin absorbs it so easily and I feel so silky soft and fragrant.

I love being a girl,truly I do.

Angie......

I tend to have dry skin and here in the north, winter plays helll with it. The dry air from the furnaces and such...

I use a product from Melalauca called "Renew"...

It's silky smooth and has a pleasent smell that doesn't clash with your perfume...

Kinda pricy, though..$20 for 20oz......

But after a shower or bath it is wonderful!

Stay soft, Honey!

That's the one thing I don't like about larry and my new apartment, just a shower. Because our place is designed for the disabled a roll in shower is what we got stuck with. I miss my bubble baths as well as long soaks in dead sea salts for healing some of my skin aliments.

All this talk about baths is making me want to go home and soak in a nice warm tub!

I'm not on hormones, but I've found after showering and shaving, putting Aveno moisturizer on my arms, legs (partially shaved) and shaved middle parts feels awesome! I get a nice softness that last almost all day! It got a little tough when I was shaving my underarms. I use mineral salts instead of anti persperant and it stung a bit. So I use baby powder on my underarms and the middle parts.

Any alternatives for delicate areas?

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.
    • KathyLauren
      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      I enjoyed my Saturday moka-pot coffee this morning while doing something I love: processing astronomy images.  I didn't stay up late to watch last night's spectacular aurora, but my all-sky camera did, taking pictures every minute.
