Simply amazing

[~Nova~]

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 .

She does look very beautiful, JJ...

Might wanna reconsider your choice of words, though, with juvenile minds like mine runnin' 'round the playground! heheheheee....Svenna

[Guest Krisina]

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!

Autumn

[Guest Maria_B]

Its okay Svenna.

I laughed.

Very much.

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

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

it made you hot -runs off-

[Guest Svenna]

Svenna, you are right behind me. ;-)

I sure hope so, I surely do...

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

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

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....

Love, Svenna

Little magic pills.

Plus a patch. :-)

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.

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

[Guest ranse]

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.

[Guest Karen K]

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.
