...even without shaving I still look kind of feminine.

Right? or am I crazy?

I'm trying to get some hair electrocuted off in a couple days so I can't shave today.

Kind of nervous posting. Just passing the six month mark of HRT. On the 5 Year plan.

If you have your eyebrows done, it will make a big difference, but of course people will notice it, so I wouldn't go for that unless you're out to people about being trans.

And electrolysis isn't fun. I've had about 140 hrs! I still go back about every 6-8 weeks for 30 min or so... :(

Anyway, good luck! You'll do fine :)

Shadow aside, you seem to have softer features which would probably lend fairly well to your target gender, from a strictly an "on view" point. Adding things to that facet such as a female voice, mannerisms, walk, and basically how you carry yourself, all add up to a total presentation. :)

Thanks, I'm really happy to have the hair I do but at the same time I do have a bit of male pattern that started up before I began transition so I can't never really pull my hair completely back. My bangs protect me.

Your eyes look so sweet, so very sweet.

Take away the beard, and you look like a sporty girl :D

I'm so bad at sports. Glad to know I'll look like I'm good at them!

You look like a girl I knew in high school. Her name was Waunna.

That's good to hear! I'm happy that I look like a cis girl!

Oh, the cat's out of the bag... I just moved to a new town so I figured it was best to tell people early on. I'm proud of the fact that I'm transgender and I'm scared to think that anyone else may be in hiding and not have someone to turn to. Currently I have a pair of 38c's and I just started female growth not too long ago. I couldn't hide for much longer anyway.

(My dad, brother, and I all have had major gynomastia. So much in fact that they checked my brother thinking he has XXY Syndrome but it came out negative. Some times I think I may have some sort of genetic something but I've never checked into it. Also, I used to be fat.)

lol, I swore I would never sleep on my back ever. Like with a passion. Boobs (and an appendix that blew up) changed that.

140 hours beats taking two epilators to the face for 8 hours.(I broke the first one halfway through) That was one of those dumb decisions I made early on. Then again... some of the hairs never came back.

Heh, heh, manurisms check, walk check, carry myself check... still failing at working on the voice.

My voice is ok from the standpoint of being perceived as a female voice but not from a standpoint of sounding how I want to sound - I think I come across as too meek which is DEFINITELY not who I am! lol but then if I get too assertive or raise my voice, it starts to sound more masculine :( The Universe's way of making me calm down? Maybe! lol

yup, your a pretty one. Hate to repeat what everyone else is saying, but it's true, your eyes are pretty!

It looks like you've got the girly face thing down pretty well. That took me a while >.<

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!

      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer

      The source of estrogen can matter. I started HRT at age 50. My avatar was the result. I started on pills, and moved to estradiol valerate injectables. However, there was a shortage, and I had to use a compounding pharmacy. The estradiol would evaporate in the vial, and couldn't get 5 doses out of it. I eventually move to the patch.    Over time I realized the patch wasn't working properly. And, the last time I visited my doctor he told me my estrogen levels were low. He asked me if I wanted to change to estradiol valerate. I jumped for joy. So I started my script for estradiol valerate. My prescription was ready, but I didn't receive my script for needles for a couple of weeks. So I bought my own (legal). I started with intramuscular injections. This requires a longer needle, and the estrogen is released into the muscles. It has a powerful effect right away but isn't stable. So by the time I took my next injection 2 weeks later, the estradiol in my bloodstream was almost gone. When I finally received my script for my needles, the needle was shorter. So the injection was subcutaneous. What is different with this type of injection as that the estrogen released is more even over 2 weeks (before the next injection). Interesting the syringe/needles my doctor prescribed are so much higher in quality. I am going to follow his path. My breasts are now perky again. And I will let my doctor guide me.    I wish you success on your journey. Let us know how things are proceeding. I am happy for you.   Jennifer
