Sam.....

First off, I think that you look great!

You might want to give HRT a shot at that face and shoulders before considering surgery...

The Estrogen will melt a lot of that shoulder muscle and leave them much less wide in just muscle alone...

As to your question...I've never heard of a shoulder operation for MTF...But, I'm sure that it could be done ...but extremely expensive..

And of course FFS can shave down a jaw...

But, Honey...don't get in a rush for surgery....

Oh, Honey....are you saying that you're 8 months HRT?

Look...here is my shoulders at 17 months...I used to be pretty husky in the shoulders...

Samantha,

I'm probably in a similar position as you. I was a classic muscular gymnast athletic build, with very large shoulders and no hips or bottom at all. I was a classic "V" shaped man. My skeletal structure hasn't changed, but my bottom sure has and it's really going now.

We can't make our shoulders any smaller, but we can get a waistline and hips, which will balance them out and give you a girl look. I'm getting it now and can easily wear a size 14 top now (medium), where it used to be 18 or 20 to fit my upper body.

Let the hormones work. It takes years, you know.

Samantha you look good for only 8 months in. I think you should give it a little more time before thinking about surgery. I am only 4 1/2 months in and don't even think about any surgeries yet until I find out what HRT is going to do for me. It is hard sometimes to just wait to be ourselves but think about how long you already waited. What is another year or so?

Hi Samantha,

I have really large shoulders but over 2 years on hormones has reduced the muscle part quite a bit, i would not worry about it, i do not as i see many genetic born women with larger shoulders than i have, body fat redistributes some on hormones so wait at least a year or more before deciding on FFS.

Dear Samantha,

You are so beautiful, I get jealous :P

At least in the picture you posted, your shoulders don't look big. And your face is sooooo feminine, IDK why you'd want to go through surgery.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.

      I admit to wearing make-up. Actually, I'll admit to enjoying wearing make-up. For me, it's been part of learning about myself as a woman and finding a style and look that reflects my personality.    Sometimes, it will just be a bit of mascara and a touch of lipstick. But, most often I wear foundation with setting powder, gel eyeliner, mascara, a little blush on my cheek line and lipstick. I also use an eyebrow pencil to darken my brows a bit.  Infrequently, I will add some eye shadow.   Most of my make-up is from Mary Kay although my lipsticks or from various manufacturers and eyeliners are mostly Maybelline. My wife purchases most of her make-up from Mary Kay and so we order together from our local representative. Of course, I don't have much brand experience but I'm happy with the Mary Kay products and find myself transitioning almost entirely to their line of make-up.
