If it really hurts when I start my jab, I'll move to a slightly different spot. I figure this means I'm close to nicking a vein--or I'm just too soft. 8D Also, you may be hitting a healing subcutaneous wound from earlier injections. I had a pretty bad bruise last week, but this week not even a dot of blood. -

And Gender Identity is different from sexual orientation but interconnected. One is who you are and other who you are attracted to. There is a whole range of identities and orientations but the only one who can actually determine for yourself is yourself. Try and be true to yourself (very difficult at times I know). -

I switched from patches to weekly injections last fall. Not that big of a deal once I did it a few times. This stuff definitely works! But suddenly, it's like I can't give myself a shot correctly anymore. Usually the needle slides right in, smooth with very little pain, boom and I am done. The past 3-4 times, though, have been rough. Needle struggles to go in (ouch!) and then I bleed a decent amount when I am done. I still have a bruise on my tummy from last week's shot ... Is it just in my head at this point, lol ? Anyone else have similar issues? Can't complain about results, though. I am mostly under-the-radar with folks around me, but it is getting more difficult to hide the effects at this point (hey, how did my shirts get so tight all of the sudden? ) -

Have been on a similar journey for more than a year ... it's pretty wild! ... Blessings to you ... this stuff does work! Just when I thought, "Nothing's happening!" I look in the mirror and something's happening... -

Indeed, I share a similar story as well (age 54) but alas don't really have an understanding partner ... Can totally relate to the "more I dress, the better I feel" and that this is increasingly taking over my life ... I started HRT about a year ago (mostly the under-the-radar, though it is getting harder to stay under-the-radar) ... Best wishes to you ! This is a great community with very caring, understanding folks ... -

@VickySGV you probably realize this, but it's worth remarking that such comments reveal insecurities of those who make them. That they need you to be a certain way for them to feel comfortable underscores their lack of personal development. Still, indeed it sounds real old & tired. On the other hand, I want to highlight that your response, especially to the teasing by the surviving family members, brings into focus the extent to which you have become integrated. It's remarkable that things that strike us as painful can serve as signposts of progress. For real and for certain, you are no joke. You are a deep, dynamic and lovable person who deserves respect and whom others should be honored to know. Many people are not ready for the emotional intimacy others of us desire. -

P.S. However, if the frame is too wide, it WILL emphasize the narrowness of the jaw. So, balance is key. Check out how Johnny Depp wears his glasses. Bold frame, avoiding angles that interfere with angularity of the face, and chunky brow. Good luck! -

Happy it helped you. I think that glasses won't make your jawline appear more prominent per se, but rather can serve to draw attention away from the jaw and accentuate the brow. Check out glasses with a chunky brow line, even glasses with only the brow line and invisible frame on bottom might work. -

Hi, Rosie. Welcome! Your story sounds quite familiar, and will likely resonate with many members here. Please feel free to ask questions or join in any of the discussions. Regards, Kathy -

This makes my heart happy. I love Bette so much too! It's worth acknowledging that the very act of transitioning - however grand or subtle - is an act of self-love, whether or not we are able to perceive it that way. Why else would one endeavor to seek the remedy to the ongoing distress of closeted life? One may frame it as "out of necessity" or "vital to survival". But the deepest core of that is self-love. Animals act largely on instinct (some animals are more emotionally sensitive than others). But humans have higher faculties to work with. And addressing emotional/psychological/spiritual distress is motivated by something deeper than simply the gut instinct to survive. I believe there's a seed of self-love in everyone. -

I am 61, been cross dressing as long as I can remember. Sister dresses my first, and been hiding this all my life. In recent years it has been taking over my everyday life. I do have an understanding partner, which means I can dress in the home, which I am not sure is a blessing or curse What I do know is whatever more I do, the better I feel, it’s getting hard to hide who I am -

That's so sad! I guess I just presumed we all found self love easier (even if just a tiny bit) after transition.
