Just curious. Sometimes I may overlook something or not notice something because I'm too caught up on details about something else that I either forget or just totally miss it. Just some quick details: yes I'm full time, no I'm not on HRT (yet). Hair is up in a ponytail. Tried bangs but I didn't like how they made my forehead hot so I let them grow back out. Top is a military green-ish tank top, black fleece jacket because it was a tad chilly in WI-IL-IN when I was traveling through. Oh and then jeans and simple black sneakers to make my feet look smaller. and yes I'm wearing makeup. foundation, powder, mascara (though you can't see it, trust me I have it on), blush and lipstick.

Ok I do notice the clasp on my necklace needs to be moved back behind my neck. Argh! Gets me every time. At least the necklace isn't turned around in this picture (for once).

Also...would you say I'm...pretty? I still think of myself as just average. Just being nosy...

I've always thought you are pretty Lizzie, I don't remember any pics without your sunglasses though. No pressure, but I bet you have beautiful eyes.

Looking good Lizzie!

I have seen her in person and she does have beautiful eyes - the blue one in the middle is my favorite!

Sorry Lizzie, I lost my edit button now whenever a thought pops into my head it leaps right through my fingers onto the Internet.

Really very attractive and no joke about having beautiful eyes - only two and they are a matched set.

Love ya,

Sally

Easier said than done, my dear. I still have that "ugly duckling" mentality from when I was growing up.

Oh the conflict....

Fem side: I want to claw your eyes out from jelousy of how amazing you look

Male side: (cant be said and maintain PG-13 rating)

I'd say two out of two personalities think you are passing 100% and are very attractive.

BTW, how DO you get your foundation to look so smooth? Mine always looks like chalk no matter what I do.

The only thing I can think of is that I don't have any beard shadow to cover so it's not as thick as it once was. I'm not doing anything special other than putting it on, and it's not expensive either, Covergirl foundation.

Why am I hiding my eyes? Well see, it's day time. Whenever the sun's out, the sunglasses are on! That and someone said I looked glamorous like Jackie O with them so I'm more inclined to wear them often.

Goodness, I guess most of the pics I've taken lately have been day time. I don't have any good ones with my new regular glasses. I've got some good ones with my old frames though. Here's one I think is pretty good.

Lizzie, you look great! I can't believe that your not on HRT since your face and arms look beautifully soft and rounded. Ignore the mirror - trust the reality of the need for your ring, the convos with strangers about make-up and creepy guys and all the other great stories that you tell us. You're a natural beauty, inside and out.

Love and hugs, Tami

The new icon pic I am using I tried no foundation or powder, just some lipstick, eyeshadow and blush. I think it turned out not too bad. I have been shaving in a way that gets so close I can get away without shaving for a day or so after, as long as I am not dresisng up. I've got a concealer stick that matches my natural tone nicely so I use that over the bear area just in case.

BTW, that pic makes me want to claw your eyes out even more! You look amazing!

You DO look absolutely amazing Lizzie!

The only thing I may suggest is to perhaps "shorten" your eyebrows.

Get in line.

Maybe a shadow or something on the second picture made them look much longer. They're under control. I do that line from the edge of your nostril to the corner of your eye to your eyebrow to determine where it should end. That and my laser tech waxes them every time I see her. When you're spending $250 for a session, what's another $15 for fabulous brows, right?

My only question is; when your blowin by on the road, how many guys are in your mirror chasing your tail lights with their foot mashed flat on the floor. Quite a string and more with their left signals on? Girl! You are hotter than a cylinder head pulling up Battle Axe Pass!!! BTW that's a 12% grade, I mean HOT! Hug. Jody

PS---You have a very nice female forehead and wonderful ladylike hair line. Please don't crop it out of your photos, it's really a wonderful feature for you. Jody

Guys don't usually look at truck drivers, not usually a whole lot of women in the drivers seat. Have done a couple of double takes in the past LOL

Lizzie dear,

You should be very proud of yourself. You look like a genuine girl and your eyes are very beautiful.

I would even hazard to say that you don't need HRT or FFS. You are already there.

I know it is easier said than done, but please don't be so hard on yourself.

All my Love.

Lol..other truck drivers do! If a guy is cruising down the road and he glances in his mirror and sees a pretty lady driving that truck, he will continue to try and catch glimpses of her while both are driving down the road. I've had it happen! Truck drivers, dump truck drivers, pick up trucks. I had a guy take his eyes completely off the road to turn his head around to look through a back window to get another look at me..and we were going down a mountain! I just shook my head at him. That's what I usually do. First couple times, if I notice it, I smile. After a while if he's still straining to check me out, I just start shaking my head. I had one guy keep pace with me going through Atlanta in a construction zone. I'm busy trying not to hit any cones (or people) and I have this jerk to my right checking me out and staying right next to me looking at me. Ugh! I should get hazard pay for this. lol

Many truckers of any gender just arent much to look at. I "escaped" OTR driving with my youthfulness intact. When I did drive I looked in nearly every car, but rarely other trucks.

I expect I might have transistioned on the road like you Lizzie if I has continued driving.

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.
