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!

Okay, so I woke up my Brother laughing, whatever, its all good.

Autumn, what HRT are you taking? Hottie... R... R...

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:

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:

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

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

LOL......Honey.....1/2 of us end up "average" and 99% of us want to be that way!

Trust me you are above average......

Don't sell yourself short!

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.

      Welcome to the Forums Amanda, there are a number of us here who took that long or longer to come to grips with our personal reality.  Join right in and enjoy the company you have.

      I'm Amanda, and after 57 years of pretending to be a male crossdresser, I've recently admitted to myself that I'm a woman. It's pretty wild. I don't think that I've ever had a thought that was as clearly true and right, as when I first allowed myself to wonder, "wait, am I actually trans?"   The hilarious part is that I owe that insight to my urologist, and a minor problem with a pesky body part that genetic women don't come equipped with (no, not that one). I'll spare you the details, but the end result was him talking about a potential medication that has some side effects, notably a 1% chance of causing men to grow breasts. The first thought that bubbled up from the recesses of my mind was, "wow, that would be awesome!"   <<blink>><<blink>> Sorry, what was that again?   That led down a rabbit hole, and a long, honest conversation with myself, followed by a long, honest conversation with my wife. We both needed a couple of weeks, and a bit of crying and yelling, to settle in to this new reality. Her biggest issue? Several years ago, she asked me if I was trans, and I said, "no". That was a lie. And honestly, looking back over my life, a pretty stupid one.   I'm really early in the transition process - I have my first consultation with my doctor next week - but I'm already out to friends and family. I'm struggling with the "do everything now, now now!" demon, because I know that this is not a thing that just happens. It will be happening from now on, and trying to rush won't accomplish anything useful. Still, the struggle is real . I'm being happy with minor victories - my Alexa devices now say, "Good morning, Amanda", and I smile each and every time. My family and friends are being very supportive, after the initial shock wore off.   I'm going to need a lot of help though, which is another new thing for me. Being able to ask for help, that is. I'm looking forward to chatting with some of you who have been at this longer, and also those of you who are as new at this as I am. It's wild, and intoxicating, and terrifying... and I'm looking forward to every second of it.   Amanda Joy

      Rain here. I went to Asheville yesterday, and stayed later to visit some before going down the mountain.  Down here there were a lot of trees down in the northern part of the county.  The power had gone off at the house, but was back by the time I got home (21:00).  There was a thunderstorm during the night.

      I used to get ma'am'ed during my 45 years of boy-mode and it drove me nuts.    Now that I have accepted girl-mode I find it quite pleasant.    Either way, being miss gendered is quite disturbing. I upon a rare occasion might get sir'ed by strangers and it's quite annoying.

      Good morning Ash,    Welcome to TransPulseForums, I have a young neighbor who plays several brass instruments who lives behind my house. He is always practicing and I could listen to them for hours, well I guess I have listened to them for hours, and my favorite is when they play the low tones on the French Horn.    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,    I had my first cup of coffee this morning with my wife, my second was a 20oz travel mug on the way to the airport. Once clearing TSA, I bought another 20oz to pass the time at the boarding gate. I’m flying Indy to Baltimore, then driving to Wilmington, DE for my last teaching engagement at the DE State Fire School.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In my opinion, the gender neutral version of sir or ma'am is the omission of such honorifics.   "Excuse me, sir" becomes simply, "Excuse me", or better yet, "Excuse me, please."   "Yes, ma'am" becomes "Yes", or depending on the context, "Yes, it would be my pleasure" or "Yes, that is correct."   Else, to replace it with a commonly known neutral term such as friend, or credentialed or action-role-oriented term depending on the situation such as teacher, doctor, driver, or server.   And learn names when you can. It's a little known fact that MOST people are bad with names. So if you've ever told someone, "I'm bad with names", you're simply affirming you're typical in that way. A name, just like any other factoid, requires effort to commit to memory. And there are strategies which help.

      @KymmieL it’s as if our spouses are two sides of the same coin. We never know which side will land up. Loving or Disliking.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      almost 45 min later. Still in self pity mode. I cannot figure out my wife. I shared a loving post on Facebook to my wife. Today she posts, you are my prayer. Yet, last week she puts up a post diragitory towards trans people. Does she not relate to me being trans?   ???

      Well we have the white rain, about 2 inches. Work is still terrible, with me making stupid little mistakes. Yet, to the boss it is the end of the world. Still on the hunt for another.   life just still sucks for me. I just wish I could be happy for a day. I'd even settle for a couple hours.   Kymmie
