i posted two pictures of me in another thread and when I looked at them I was shocked. I have been in hormones just shy of 6mths. I'm 46. If people say hormones don't change you, I say bunk

I'm amazed at the difference. No wonder people keep telling me I look different, I do!

Some people keep saying that about hormones. I don't know why-there are just people who love to run around with pins bursting children's balloons too. Strikes me as the same mentality.

You are living proof that HRT does change and feminize you. And any claims that it is just that you took 50 pics till one looked good are sort of debunked by the fact that it's a driver's license pic and I'd be willing to bet you only got one shot at that.

You look amazing Autumn-no wonder you are having to learn to redirect masculine attention into more appropriate channels :D.

Those are some great changes. Your nose has changed too, it doesn't seem as wide how did that happen. I thought people needed FFS for that or is that all just part of fat etc redistribution on the face? Your around the same age as me, so there is hope for me too (not on HRT yet)

Do you have to wear a wig too? Something that us older women have had to do because of not getting on hormones at an early age.

I edited it. Is that better? Kind of stuffy sounding but better? Can't help your mind Svenna, but I suspect you wouldn't be the only one. Teach me to post before the 2nd cup of coffee.

I looked at the two pictures and was completely taken aback. Everyday someone tells me I look different and I just shrug it off. I live my life as Autumn and actually had a lady ask me if I was having a hot flash the other day because I was fanning myself

Svenna, you are right behind me. ;-)

Krisina, yes, it's a wig. I will get a hair transplant eventually, but for now, it's a wig. My nose has changed, but my roomie still hates it so I will be getting it fixed. Along with my chin.

When in first came out, my sister told me that I would never be more than a guy in drag. Um, OK!

I sure hope so, I surely do...

Dang roomies, they just can't let us be, can they? You look great already...

My GT just gave me a book on toxic people the other day, seems the very people we should be getting love and support from are the very first to start throwing stones. Shame on her, and bless you, sister-of-mine....some people, grrrr...

Autumn

You just keep on keepin' on.... :thumbsup:

Love, Svenna

Autumn, as I recall, I've been telling you that you're beautiful ever since you got here and posted your first pic.

I am delighted that you finally see it, too. :goodjob:

At this point, I just want to prove my sister wrong. I'm well on my way to doing that.

I never really understood the inner makings of a woman. I was never a "ladies man". I certainly understand It now. Even tho you all are so kind, I don't see myself as anything more than average(?) at best. Even that's stretch. However, it does appear that quite a few men see it different. Maybe it's all the alcohol? :-)

All that's moot anyway. I really just was amazed at the changes. When newer girls and guys now ask if hormones will change your facial features even at an older age, the answer is yes, absolutely, yes.

Some of that is skin care, but not all of it.

Autumn,

My changes are not as dramatic as yours but still amazing to me:

http://www.lauras-playground.com/forums/index.php?app=galleryℑ=5323

This was taken back in February, at my mothers house.

http://www.lauras-playground.com/forums/index.php?app=galleryℑ=5324

This was taken Aug 31.

Main differences are 1) my hair length and 2) Reduction of facial hair shadow, but I do see changes in features.

That too is a great change Karen K/Laura Jane. Very feminine too in only about 7 months HRT. I'm really beginning to think I might have a chance YMMV.

It is nice to see examples from people here who are older, not just the amazing results of the lucky teens and early 20's too.

Thank You

You look fantastic. Very pretty. How long have you been on HRT? For me, it's ~2 weeks shy of 6mths.

It's wonderful and fun to look at the pictures as we change. The final result will yield a complete and competent woman. Regardless of beauty.

Hi Autumn,

I'd probably forgotten that you started HRT about a week ahead of me. We do keep running in parallel!

But the picture? HRT has been so good to you! I'm way happy for you!

Love, Meg

You really are beautiful, Autumn. I can't believe you're 46, either.

Karen, you might not be able to see your own changes as much, but it is happening.

I've been amazed at people's before and after pictures, even after only a few months. I knew the changes for FTMs were usually fairly dramatic, but even the MTF folks seem to have pretty good luck with softening and feminizing of their features while on hormones.

Autumn, Krisina,

Thank you both. I have been on HRT now for 1 year. I started with a low dose of Premarin and that was gradually ramped up and Spironolactone and MedroxyProgesterone were added. Thing have progressed slowly, but as with you Autumn, I was amazed when I did the comparason. Looking at my face day after day, I did not notice anything. This proves the benifits of HRT.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Willow · Posted

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      Voting for Trump

      By EasyE · Posted

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
