4 months update

[Guest Maria_B]

So, from my 3 month mark on hormones to my 4 month mark on hormones, a lot has changed.

Physically?

Boobs have really sped up in development.

I haven't shaved my arms the whole month and next to no growth (genetics are funny O.o, on T I was the hairiest gorilla out, and no I have next to zero hair growth)

So physically they are doing their thing.

Socially? Thats the biggest change.

Out and about outside of school I am me, not him. Everyone everywhere I go treats me as me, school mates, strangers, people over the internet. My voice is now naturally a female one, but I go back to male for school, but from the moment I wake up, its stuck in F mode. It is also passable through real life and electronics. :3 Which is nice.

Thats the best change, not being him anymore.

Mentally?

I'm just hopelessly happy and optimistic for the future.

... But, this month, I also lost a friend really dear to me. I thought it inevitable, but tried my best, to no avail. His Dad's stance towards TG people was also his adopted stance, which I though would be the case. I cried a lot. He'd been there for me for a long time, just not this time.

I also lost my Bird. He had a stroke one morning, and passed away. That bird was older than I was, been there my entire life. No one really understands just how much a pet can improve our life, and how much we value and love their company, until that pet goes.

Can't help but feel like I'm missing stuff.

Anywho XD Thats about it. Love ya'll.

Sounds great, it sounds like the HRT is doing its job. It is also nice to see people seeing you as you and not him.

About losing your friend. It is hard sometimes when people don't accept us for just being ourselves. I hope your friend eventually comes around someday on how transgender people are like any other people.

About your bird, you mentioned your bird was older than you. I was thinking when I read that, I know dogs live 10, 12 years etc, fish a few years but yeah! but birds can live quite a long time. Parrots come to mind, probably living 25 years? Just guessing.

Mostly good news - a lot more good than bad so congratulations!

The friend might actually come back around one day when he decides that his father is wrong about this.

I understand the loss of the bird - my sister had a talking parakeet that lived with us for almost 15 years, it was so much like losing a family member - I still miss hearing him chatter away to the Television.

Love ya,

Sally
