Transition Progress

Hi All,

Just thought I'd share my former self and how I am progressing in my transition.  I have been in transition for a year and on HRT for 7 months.

Wow....  I really did not see the changes really until now that I've done this post.  This was fun!  And I thank the old me for paving the way to the new me!!!

You look lovely dear and the smile lets me know you feel right as well.  I found HRT and simply being myself with time gave me a feeling of happiness and comfort i hadn't known before.  Storms will (and do) come but i love today.

 

Hugs,

Takes about 3 times being True Gendered while you still see yourself as too masculine (feminine) and in your old grundgies of prior life before you can start seeing the changes.  Its when you are shown an old picture from pre-transition days, and you have to think who it is in the picture for a minute or two that you have really arrived.

Wow yes interesting. I suppose In the future when I look at my most recent pic, I will find myself saying the same thing :-)

I had to look really closesly to match the facial features to compare the before and after Milani. If you hadn't said I would not even think. Two different people.

You look beautiful :)

Thank you Tracy!  My signature marking that can identify me is the beauty mark at the bottom of my neck :-)

Well that's no giveaway except to someone who knows you really well :D

Side by side it is easier to see matching features but in my opinion your earlier photo could just as readily be FTM. There is only a slight hint of Adam's apple giving a male slant.

Very true about it not being a giveaway except to people who know me!

A more current b4/after  :-)  So happy with my HRT results.  I don't even recognize the old me anymore...

Pre-transition, from your first pic with friend Becky to the pic of you in your late 20's, I see a pretty significant change.  If I knew you then and saw you later, I'm not sure I'd recognize you.  You had a baby face then!  LOL 

You made a significant change in more ways than one for sure.  I think you look absolutely wonderful and the happiness shows.

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
