Liz's progress (wait, what progress?!)

Here's a collection of pics that I've taken the last few years to hopefully show myself and others what changes I've gone through for the last 2-3 years. Maybe if I see it in contrast to older pics I'll be able to see a difference because, to me, I don't think I've changed that much or that drastically.

Okay, wait, I don't think I've changed that drastically...until I saw one of the very first pics of me all made up (it's at the end). wow!

Okay so here's the most recent, 2/25

Nearly 2 years HRT with 1 year of laser and almost a year of electrolysis during that same time.

Also 30 pounds lighter than I was last year.

Well look at you, Lizzie!

I can't really think of anything else to say besides you look great!

Sorry. I'm usually more in depth, but I've got nothing this time :s

God Bless

You do look maaahhvalous, Lizzie. You have certainly changed a lot. But I have one pet peeve; next pic should be sans the sunglasses, hon. I want to see those lovely eyes. :)

Hey Liz!

I certainly noticed the changes in you between our two meetings - about 2011 and then this year.

I believe that I even mentioned how great you looked.

It's working for you, just one tall beautiful woman to another. ;)

Love ya,

Sally

Okay, so, there were more pics I wanted to add but every time I received an error message about reaching the amount of pics I could post, so I'd delete one..then try again..delete one more..try again..etc. etc. So I cut it down to those in the original, and now I'll add 4 more to show a wee bit of progress. It was brought to my attention to just upload them to my gallery and have people go there but I don't want to give you ladies (and gents) a chore to do!

Okay, so you want a non-sunglasses pic, so here you go. This was taken about 3 days ago. No sunglasses. No makeup.

(barf bags available in the seat back in front of you) :P

Going backwards: 2014. Not sure if you can see it but the red bumps on my chin area are because I had electrolysis just a few days before. Experimented with purple so it showed when my hair was down. This was short lived because the purple wasn't permanent and washed out fairly quickly. Ah well, live and learn.

2013 - Another year of a great selfie. Btw, I practically live in my sunglasses because they're prescription and they look fabulous. You would too for those reasons! Don't judge me. :P

and finally, we go back to 2009. When my name change was finalized and official. Legally Liz! (well, Elizabeth) woohoo!

Hi Lizzie,

You look lovely, and it is really groovy to see how you have changed. :thumbsup: Your hair is so thick and beautiful, I am quite envious, I must admit. :)

hugs,

Stephanie

I could show off more pictures but once I got to a certain point in my transition, all my pictures pretty much began to look the same.

Yep, that's me from a few months ago...and I still look exactly like that now. I guess I've reached a consistent girl look that is easy to maintain, manage, and completely passable so I just stick with what works.

The only thing that really ever changes is my outfit and my hair color, but even then it's nothing too drastic.

I am at the point where people meeting me or have been acquired as new friends have no idea I'm transgender until I say something about it. They almost always say "I had no clue, I couldn't tell" so that's a great compliment.

I'm also still not used to this male attention. Huh? Me? No, that's for the hot, skinny chicks. Not...me, I'm neither of those. Apparently I am but I don't see it. Maybe in another 50lbs I will, who knows.

There are other girls here hotter than I am. I'm just the fat, funny one. :P

(yes I am!)

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath. 
    • Ashley0616
      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
