Post your old photos compared with your new photos here.

Maybe you should start with placing your own first! Might give the rest of us a nudge to start! I think this I a great idea for a thread. Its a great way to see progression and results, not to mention the complinents and ego boost it will bring. I believe it also helps others get hope when they see how far others have come.

Annah, you looked cuddly in your before.
Now you're all boobage  :D

I think you're one of the more impressive transitions.
I thought you were in your very early 20's before i learned you were 37[or 36, i cant really remember]

Post by: Annah on October 02, 2011, 12:32:07 PM
lol thanks. I turned 37 this past August. Im in the middle of helping to form my 20th high school reunion so yeah, im almost 40 lol.

And thanks for the boobs compliment lol. Those things i kinda had before transition (long story) so it didnt take much for that to happen!

I got Brad Pitt and Mark Wahlberg a lot (Wahlberg was more of a body comparison). I inhaled 4000+ calories and lifted 1000+ 30lb tires by hand every day for 7 years at my previous job. I was a machine, and a sex object with no sex drive that hated her body. Things are getting worse but I feel a lot better.

I wish I got some effects from estrogen? nearly 12 years I've been taking estrogen and it's just not working on me! I have no hips, very little breast growth, no changes in fat distribution apart from unwanted changes like a fat belly and increased upper body mass.

Wow, yeah estrogen has done well for you, softened you up alot.. I never would have guessed you were that hot as a guy =)

I haven't taken any hormones yet, I'm afraid it will turn my face to mush since I already have no jawline and I have less than 10% bodyfat (naturally store all my fat on my neck, chest and gut.. ugh)

:D I do have quite a few ladies come up to me and call me cute when I'm out now. You know, that whisper sort of guilty "You're really cute." Guys are silly. They just smile and stare. I don't flirt with anyone, because I need more permanent and drastic changes to build my confidence. I'm an "I" sexual- if you like me, I will probably give you a shot.

Though you look alittle unhappy in the pic :( I think longer 'boy hair' works really well for you Mahsa :), and I want to say from the 2nd pic onwards I thought 'girl', are the early ones pre HRT? :)   Finally I really like your last pic 'tis my favourite :)

LOL. That wasn't a boy's hairstyle... *looks around*

HRT two years now.

Early ones are pre hrt. I always had a very femme look... It was kind of Miki mk1. Lots of people thought i was a girl even with the shaved head(Yeah, even in SF..LOL)

I used to wear lip gloss, foundation, and mascara too... I remember when I used LJ I got hate mail from people saying, "You're a dyke.." I was like, "That sucks they hate me, but damn thanks for the compliment"

I think it was in certain pics honestly. The early pics of the actual transition, I really looked like uhh I don't know what. The term we use around here is "hot mess". LOL. I think those photos are locked in a freighter.

Adele, you should post your photos! Pretty please with candied jimmies on top!

And yes, I've worn this type of hat every day for years because I HATE what testosterone has done to my hair. I'll be fixing that very soon.

I love this look, reminds me of my art teacher from high school.  Cute, Fun, had a for wearing similar shirts with wild hair or hats.

Believe it or not, I've always had this figure(aside from a blip in high school where I ballooned up to 185). As a result, I had never found men's clothes that fit. Ten years ago I even told my wardrobe designer in the theatre department "tailor my clothes like you would for a woman because if you don't there will be way too much fabric in the midsection and I'll look blocky and 50lbs heavier."

The thing I find most startling about this thread is that so many of you looked so effeminate even as "men". Knowing that the opposite of this occurs often in ftms, I guess it's just another sign that we are, indeed, on exactly the right path!

Actually, I really feel like I was the opposite. I was tall and buff in HS. I only got really fat afterward. And then I thought it would be a great idea to shave my head and grow sideburns, hence the picture. *shudders*

But even more than that, I tried to act as metal as I possibly could. I was hardcore into being as badass as I could. Forced a bit me thinks? Yes, very.

The look fits her like a glove.

I wish I could wear short hair. But it doesn't normally attract the kind of men I like. Plus, I am a nightclub chick.. Yah. But you wear it extremely well.

I love it on certain women though. It is refreshing seeing ts's with short or andro hairstyles. But short hair has became a trend on women...

Thanks all!  Not to disappoint, but I will be going long eventually.  I've never had my hair long and I'd like to know what it's like.  But yeah - after that novelty has warn off, I'll most likely go back to short.:)  Even as a guy, I had boyish looks, so I'm carrying that forward into my girl appearance.  It's like hiding it in plain sight!  The look also makes sense for me since I'm trying to attract femme women.;)  Now I gotta go back and give props to some of the other lovely ladies in this thread so that I don't feel like a total douche...

It's only been about a year, but it really does feel like another lifetime.  ;D

Yeeaah... all my pictures have terrible backgrounds.

That year has been crazy kind to you!  You look great!

Thanks all!  Not to disappoint, but I will be going long eventually.  I've never had my hair long and I'd like to know what it's like.  But yeah - after that novelty has warn off, I'll most likely go back to short.:)  Even as a guy, I had boyish looks, so I'm carrying that forward into my girl appearance.  It's like hiding it in plain sight!  The look also makes sense for me since I'm trying to attract femme women.;)  Now I gotta go back and give props to some of the other lovely ladies in this thread so that I don't feel like a total douche...

I attracted a lot of lezzies when I was bald and had the short pixie. It totally makes sense... I looked at your age, too...I thought you were a lot younger...Like a teen. You look amazing...Please post more pics.

The thing I find most startling about this thread is that so many of you looked so effeminate even as "men".

Allow me to provide a counter-example then.

The left was taken in the fall of 2006, at the school where I was teaching. this was about two years before I came out to my spouse, three years before I "went public in November 2009 and I never took any sort of HRT until march of this year.

but what you see here is substantially just like what you would have seen the day before I told my wife except for the clothing.

The right side was taken Saturday night last.

Agreed, I wouldn't entirely write off the short hair. While, from what I understand, some people feel long hair is necessary for their transition, it looks very good and modern on you while still being feminine.

Reeaally good, lol.  I was actually pretty scared of transitioning back then, but everything's gone so smoothly. I feel better as a person, my ties with my family have actually improved, every aspect of transition is covered flawlessly by the gender team here. Haven't needed any anti-depressants since HRT.  It's just been the best decision I've ever made. Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good these days.  ;D

I've been on hrt two years and been doing this 3 years. What you gotta understand is that is an evolution...it's not gonna happen overnight. All of the people on this thread are at different points, some of us have just started...others are starting to experience female life.

This is just a look at your growth and how much you've changed since presenting as male.

before transition, i had lots of people thinking i was much younger than i really was. i have that type of cute look that is basically a no go for passing as a male that will be taken seriously. as a girl, people still think i'm cute, except they don't think i'm younger, but that i look more "correct." i don't have pics that were significantly before transition readily on the computer, but my change was more of just becoming to look like something that doesn't look twisted.

Oh I'm trying, but you know that old saying, "All good things take time," is really holding true in this case. The biggest factor towards me having to wait is that I'm waiting to get paid! Once I have enough money I can start seeing a therapist and start buying clothes and start getting makeup etc., etc., etc. But hey, at least I have a job now, and soon I won't be able to use the "I don't have money" excuse :P.

Once you have the money in hand. Transition and being all you can be is your first priority(besides errr rent and stuff)... Which means hobbies, etc have to be temporarily put on the backburner to embrace the real you. This is just my opinion,do what you want with it.

Once you have the money in hand. Transition and being all you can be is your first priority(besides errr rent and stuff)... Which means hobbies, etc have to be temporarily put on the backburner to embrace the real you. This is just my opinion,do what you want with it.

Actually, I'd suggest still having some money for hobbies and a social life (if you have one).. If all you are doing in life is transitioning, you'll find life gets a little tedious..

You look like Lea Michelle! :o

I will be posting 2 before photos soon. One from a few months ago, when I was still in denial, and another in a bit after having taken a shower.

Let's see makeup, boys, fashion, etc

Yeah, I have one of those. I've always had one of those, that isn't going away... I am appearing as Lily Munster for a stage show this weekend.

I can't really pinpoint a specific feature that makes you look like her though, you just do. :)
You're very beautiful!

Now for some lesser beauty ...
Here's a photo from a few months ago, when I wasn't out yet. Look how miserable I look! I honestly couldn't find a single photo where I'm smiling, so I decided to go for the one with the best quality ...
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZjhbvPmq31w/TpTWm36ZV8I/AAAAAAAAAio/4qT_u53cXo4/s720/P9060043.jpg)

And this one was taken about 5 minutes ago, after having come out for only a few days.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CF7qRlm9qIs/TpTVwrEI6bI/AAAAAAAAAig/tgM0o9kQEKo/s720/P1010113.JPG)

I put my hair down for the occasion as well, as it's really long and I'm proud of it. I have strange hair though, you can kind of see it on the photo ... the front of my hair is almost blonde and really thin, while all the rest is red and quite thick. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it's always been like that.

Also, just look at how much happier I look right now, even without having started anything yet. I just feel like such a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders!

I did the makeup today. It is really drag queeny... Takes like an hour to do. I will have the pic as my avatar afterwards.

Yeah, if I didn't have a b/f...I'd be embracing my bisexuality to the extreme. Relationships are fun.

I'm actually having a bit of trouble organizing my priorities at the moment. Like I just had an offer to buy a ps3 from a co-worker (one of the good ones that can still play ps1 and ps2 games) and it's very tempting, especially since Dark Souls just came out and I want to play it online with my friends. On the other hand, saving up for therapy and laser hair removal and other things will help a lot in the long run...It's quite a conundrum to me at the moment!

Heh.  I've never done makeup more extreme than prom stuff.  I think it could be fun to do sometime for a costume or something.

Relationships are fun!  As much as college is great for hooking up and all that, relationships are a pretty cool thing and I'm definitely hoping to find some reasonably long-term attachment.  I'm happy that you're enjoying your partner right now, but just remember that should anything happen, your options are open! :)

I'm still a witch and a Christian Pastor. Just thought it would be neat to compare the contrast in the spirit of the thread :)

what does being witchy poo and a pastor have to do with before and after? doesnt quite compare and contrast that well.

Try gushing to someone about how much you love their art after being told they're trans and cool talking about it ( by other people), only to find they're not trans. That's awkward.

Try gushing to someone about how much you love their art after being told they're trans and cool talking about it ( by other people), only to find they're not trans. That's awkward.

Boo berry awkward.

Not to get off topic.  I voted for Chyna Phillips over Chaz Bono on DWTS. For the simple reason that Chyna can dance. Someone being trans isn't an "automatic like" for anything... Let's not get the artistic expression mixed up with the artists identity.

Needs more youtube.  A picture my be worth a thousand words, but a video is comprised of streaming pictures at 30 or so frames per second. 30,000 words per second beats 1000 words. ;-)

The thing I find most startling about this thread is that so many of you looked so effeminate even as "men". Knowing that the opposite of this occurs often in ftms, I guess it's just another sign that we are, indeed, on exactly the right path!

Surely you mean 'feminine' not 'effeminate.'

i love videos. Videos can show the real you versus a picture that took hours to get the right lighting, etc.

Usually, when someone seriously asks me "Do you think I pass" and they want a very thorough answer, I ask to see a video of them. Also, when they talk I listen to their voice since they asked me if they pass, the voice, in my opinion, is the biggest attribute. And it's more than just the voice. I see how they reflect, their gestures, and a video shows more of a person than a picture carefully taken.

A video, other than being there in real life, is the strongest media to see any changes on a person. Pictures not so much. And this is one of the biggest reasons why you don't see me in the "Do I pass" thread as much. Cuz, it takes more than just a picture for me to know.

i love how you are still insinuating its a wig.

My bangs goes down to my bottom cheek bone and I can cover my entire face with it if I wanted to.

The hairline...its called Dutas/Avadort. The drug tends to replenish hair.

But thanks for thinking my hair looks fake. Care to post some of your pics so I can "evaluate" you? Because, at this point, I would love to comment.

well, if I thought I needed your suggestions or evaluation, I'd post a b4 and after.
but, I've completed my transition several years ago, am fully assimilated into society as a woman and I have fully permeated every aspect of society as a woman........so, I ask....what purpose would it serve for you to comment on any photo of mine other than to serve your own futile attempt at "payback" for a mistake?

whatever annah, you're a bit of a cyber bully.  mistake, no mistake, wig, no wig, drugs, no drugs......doesnt matter.  I simply made an observation and commented on that observation that you're hairline is too low and too close to your eyebrows, that's it.  If it's a wig, might wanna pull it back and if its not a wig might wanna change your style. 
tact? like in the last sentence saying "at this point I'd love to comment on a photo of you"......

I went back to look for them and, I'd love to comment on them but the after photo's colors are very off and I can barely even see your face as it's almost just a white blur.

But I am still in the process so I don't have an after photo.
I do hope to take a couple of new photos soon.

I think you can click on all of these to make them at least a little bigger if you want.

Amazing job!  Who was your surgeon?  You look incredible!

Trust me everyone, Amy is gorgeous in RL. The pictures only tell half the story. Voice, mannerisms, body, she is the whole package.

Anyway, I'll slink off again into the dark and try not to feel hurt that nobody has said anything about my picture posts. Sigh. This feminine ego is quite the fragile thing isn't it!

PS Amy, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE  the Doctor Who reference!

Same here but I keep coming back to lurk!

Summer 2002 (age 33)

I can't find the pic at about age 36 where I gained a lot of weight, had my head shaved, and looked very tired and depressed, but those were very dark and miserable days.

I started transition at age 38. I was actually pretty amazed at how much hormones did for me at that age. Here's a pic from the first summer I was on HRT (Summer 2008).

And here's what I look now. I'm about 40 pounds heavier than I am in the last pic; the weight filled in my lower face again and so my face doesn't look as youthfully curvy as it did in the last pic. I'm currently exercising and dieting in order to get back to the "skinnier" me and just feel healthier overall.

I went back to look for them and, I'd love to comment on them but the after photo's colors are very off and I can barely even see your face as it's almost just a white blur.
I think, judging from what I can see, that's you're a pretty lady ... but I just can't really tell from that photo. Any chance you can get a new one up we can properly judge? :)

I actually posted a bunch of before and after images earlier in the thread here:

Did you get hair plugs or something?

I have an unholy pact with dark pixies and do works of mischief and sneakiness in return for magical fairy dust to provide me with lustrous locks. ;)

No, my follicles were sadly devastated by pattern baldness by the time I transitioned, and even if I had spent thousands of dollars I didn't have, I wouldn't have had great results. As an affordable alternative, I shopped around for places that could provide me with human hair units that I wear a week at a time and replace whenever the hair eventually becomes too damaged. Even people who know I'm trans can't tell face -to-face that the hair is part of a unit, since I can style and part it however I like and you can see my scalp through it -- it looks very very real. non-trans women have actually touched my hair and commented how jealous they were but of course I don't say anything.

I wish I had my own hair (like yours -- I saw your pics, you're so fortunate that you could grow yours out!), but as an alternative, this is still working well for me. At least I can wear it swimming, showering, and whatever else.

... I love these threads, since it's just amazing what hormones and time can accomplish, let alone other measures. Things like this gave me hope when I thought I could never fit in visually as a woman, and so I kept going and didn't give up.

I actually was really depressed, to the point of self-harm, before transition because I thought I would never blend in without facial surgery; but I couldn't afford it (I'm supporting my three children). I decided to go ahead anyway with transition and hormones, because I needed to do it for my own sanity, and I was incredibly and pleasantly surprised by how I changed.

I actually did confer with Spiegel on a whim after I was full-time, he was doing free consults after a presentation he gave, and he informed me that I actually had excellent proportions in my face including the space between my nose and lip, and not much brow bossing. He said I didn't "need" surgery per se, although he was still willing to do some, if I wanted, lol. If I had money, at this point, I'd reshape my nose a little, and reduce a slight bit of bossing at the outside of my brows and have them curved a bit... but since I don't have the money nor do I technically need the surgery, I don't know if I'll ever do it.

Okay, I'll give it a go...  My story in pictures:

First, the Before:

This next picture was taken the same day as the first.  This is the first-ever Colleen picture:

This was at Christmastime last year, just after I got a department store makeover (and spent $300 on makeup!):

Okay, those pictures above I consider "Pre-transition", because up to that point, I was only part-time.  These next pictures are more recent, and reflect my day-to-day looks, now that I'm full-time Colleen:

This is one of my best wigs:

Allow me to provide a counter-example then.

The left was taken in the fall of 2006, at the school where I was teaching. this was about two years before I came out to my spouse, three years before I "went public in November 2009 and I never took any sort of HRT until march of this year.

but what you see here is substantially just like what you would have seen the day before I told my wife except for the clothing.

The right side was taken Saturday night last.

I have avoided these kinds of things but I really don't care anymore.

The one on the right was taken in the spring or summer of '06.  I began transition late in '07 but started letting my hair grow a little after the picture was taken.  I remember thinking I'd do one last stab at the guy thing before seriously considering transitioning.  I took the picture thinking I'd use it for some online match making thing.  I never did. 

The one on the left was taken around October of 2008, about 4 months after FFS and BA.

One thing I do know, that smile in the picture on the right was about the biggest smile you'd ever see on me in all my guy pics.  Since then, practically all pics of me have smiles like the one on the left.  I wonder why?

Colleen you definitely look better without the hair extensions. Not so much because of the length of the hair, but mostly because your natural colors suits you a lot better. So I suggest to keep on letting your natural hair grow, and go for a slightly shorter look than the extensions were. I think it'd look great on you!

Also for what it's worth, with your previous look I might've been able to clock you on a bad day, I don't think I still would now.

"Natural" color - LOL!  Um, thanks, but no, my natural color would be gray.  But thanks especially for your last comment.  It's going to take a LOT of courage for me to walk into church tomorrow, and work on Monday, but I'm determined to make a go of it.  What you can't see in this picture is just how thin my hair is on top.  Hopefully time and Minoxidyl will take care of that.  And hopefully I can get used to this.  I think I can.

If that's not your natural color, then I can only assume it was once a color very close to that. It just fits so well with your face and it's hard to imagine another hair color on you.

Colleen dear, We both know that tears happen much easier now then ever before.  Crying is a good sign. Shell Shocked? Um... Not so much.  But you know me and I have always been an honest Critic whom has shared my view with out embellishment.  I have to say the NutraCap and hair treatments are working you hair is filling in. Infact your hair is not unlike my mothers was last year. You pass fine as you are but I  think if you keep up the NutraCap and other treatments you will continue to fill in nicely. You look good I am happy for you.

Although in my opinion your hair needs to grow out some more I do real think it looks way better then the extensions.
You look 100% passable now.
I have hair that is about 4" below the shoulders now and plan on letting it grow till it reaches the center of my back at least.
So I am prejudice that way ;).
Hug,
Jillieann

I have avoided these kinds of things but I really don't care anymore.

The one on the right was taken in the spring or summer of '06.  I began transition late in '07 but started letting my hair grow a little after the picture was taken.  I remember thinking I'd do one last stab at the guy thing before seriously considering transitioning.  I took the picture thinking I'd use it for some online match making thing.  I never did. 

The one on the left was taken around October of 2008, about 4 months after FFS and BA.

One thing I do know, that smile in the picture on the right was about the biggest smile you'd ever see on me in all my guy pics.  Since then, practically all pics of me have smiles like the one on the left.  I wonder why?

Thanks, sweetie, you've made my day brighter.  And I've had a closer look at the top, and I think the minoxidil has been working. I do feel a bit better now, thanks.

why did you take the extensions out if it was so traumatic?

I just updated my timeline.

The first picture is from when I was 18 and the second is a few months before starting hormones. I am finally starting to feel some satisfaction with the progress I've made.

Mod: I had to delete your image because it had hormone dosages on it which is against the Terms of Service Agreement.  Please feel free to edit the photo, with the dosages removed and repost.

Update: I removed the dose information from my timeline. I was trying to be informative so others might get an idea of how dose affected my transition but I guess you will have to check my blog if you want that information.

Oh and the ToS highly discourages the discussion of dose, in my book that does not mean that it prohibits it. If it does prohibit it, it should flat out say that it is not aloud.

Anyways,
here it is!

Thank you! I wish I had some amazing hair secret but before transitioning I pretty much just used your average shampoo/conditioner from cvs. I usually shower every other day. Starting in 2010 I used Rusk Moist shampoo and Smother conditioner and it worked well but costed like $13 a bottle!

Now I am using a solution of baking soda (1tbps/1 cup water) to wash it and a solution of apple cider vinegar(same amount) to condition. It works surprisingly well and costs far less. My hair looks a little dryer but it could also be that I haven't gotten it cut in over a year.  :P

I can't find the pic at about age 36 where I gained a lot of weight, had my head shaved, and looked very tired and depressed, but those were very dark and miserable days.

I started transition at age 38. I was actually pretty amazed at how much hormones did for me at that age. Here's a pic from the first summer I was on HRT (Summer 2008).

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi54.tinypic.com%2Fs6rxnt.jpg&hash=4e0d5897f965d0337fa10765bc2e36601ee01c62)

And here's what I look now. I'm about 40 pounds heavier than I am in the last pic; the weight filled in my lower face again and so my face doesn't look as youthfully curvy as it did in the last pic. I'm currently exercising and dieting in order to get back to the "skinnier" me and just feel healthier overall.

Allow me to provide a counter-example then.

The left was taken in the fall of 2006, at the school where I was teaching. this was about two years before I came out to my spouse, three years before I "went public in November 2009 and I never took any sort of HRT until march of this year.

but what you see here is substantially just like what you would have seen the day before I told my wife except for the clothing.

The right side was taken Saturday night last.

if I came away from transition looking like her I would definitely count that a WIN. I never thought to make the comparison before though, thanks for the thought.

LOL

One word to you: WERQK

Honestly, if you want improvements don't rely on hormones. Wear makeup, get clothes to fit your body shape that are actually in style, do you hair, etc.... Taking hormones and putting on girl clothes is not how success is measured. Honestly, you have to work 10x as hard as a cisgirl. Even a pretty former male can be awkward if she does not WERQK.

Right now however I need to save for a car first before I can update my wardrobe, hair removal, etc. And since I work 6-7 days I wear a uniform 90% of the time anyway. Woo. [-_-]
Although I am proud to be able to say I am probably the best dressed Technician in my factory. If I had to spend so much time in uniform I was going to accessorize and color co-ordinate. Everything else is just learning to let go of some fears from living as a male and just being myself. Oh and just accepting some things that you didn't want to admit.
Like I said, work in progress. ;)

Trista you were an extraordinary looking guy.  You had very fine feminine features which with HRT have been further refined and enhanced making you wholly compatible with treatment and a  a gorgeous girl.  You carry it off tremendously and having watched your videos i know you invest time in your looks.  Its paid off. I would be overjoyed with a fraction of your success. x

Pebbles you seriously look like you could be my sister. At a glance I actually thought that before photo was a photo of me. That is eerie D:

It does give me courage though, because that means I have very similar features to work with, and seeing what you've achieved with these features give me great hope! :)

I know it's what I thought too. Only minor differences in the thickness of my neck texture of my skin, no visible facial hair shadow ect but I wasn't ever really identified as a female before... however now it happens all the time.

There are some amazing transitions in this thread. I can't believe how short of time on a lot of them also. 1-2 years? I never knew medicine could work so well on this. I always assumed before that plastic surgery was the main transforming tool. Learning so much here.

I hope it was ok to bump this up, I needed to see something like this tonight with all thats on my mind and just had to comment.

It's great to see so many able to pass so well. Make up or hormones. Even with some very encouraging comparisons in this thread though I still don't feel I ever could. I have completely the wrong body and face type. I'm glad to be able to talk here about it somewhat though. It has helped a little.

If you had long hair and makeup in the before picture I'd think you would still look quite pretty!

I was like you at 17 as I was underweight and weighed about 93 pounds at 5'6, now weigh about 105 and haven't changed for years!

Ok, got it, thanks, Natalie!

Here it is, basically it is a "work in progress" video, to be never completed until perhaps, I die. :) For 2 years so far, I ve taken a pic everyday. I had been taking everyday pics for a year until I came out as transgender (so I was lucky already to have a year worth of me as a male) then by the second year I was slowly changing to female.

Read the description below my video on YouTube for more info about this video. (you ll have to open it in a new winow to read the description) Also I release a new video very 6 months with new everyday pics added, so you also can subscribe to me when you are on the Youtube website with my video.

Well I'd prefer to see it all the time myself. I just don't think the internet could handle that break in the blissful ignorance it builds up through walls of compliments peppered with trolls to dilute the actual honesty.

I'm just rambling now, I just "came out" to someone on another forum in PM that happens to be a mod and I'm waiting to see if it was a trap to boot me or not, so I'm a bit scared I like that place even if they wouldn't like me. I probably shouldn't have done that.

Bliss ignorance is the life. LOL

But that aside, I feel people empower certain individuals on this board... Meaning, if I was in a different position in my transition, I wouldn't have the power to just say what I want... I feel there are several people here whom we given the right to express what they'd like, I think it's due to admiration. I am not tryin to hurt anyone with my opinion though.

But I love being respected and hated here... It reminds me of how I am IRL. My fb wall is basically Beavis and Butthead meet Tim Gunn from "Project Runway".

I can see that already about the admiration. It's definitely one of the factors for me on a few people. Also I think that's the problem some may have with you, unfortunately they see honest opinion as being mean. I don't think I've read anything of yours that I would take as mean. People can get hurt easy though, I fall into that as well, but so far thankfully I've seen very little real mean words around the board and none towards me yet.

At least some of us appreciate those like you who are willing to be blunt. *hug*

Transition for some people is like renovating your house and replacing the entire house frame with glass. Basically, if you live as a male and are good at being male, its hard to live as a female. Believe me, it took me a long time to develop a tough shell...Because people are gonna say and do stuff that will shatter your transition...No matter who you are. I've been offended by my coworkers more times than I'd like to count. But guess what? I dealt with it, processed their opinions, and proved them wrong or simply didn't give a f****. But I had less distance to travel in my transition, as I was already fairly andro as a boy. A lot of people don't have that option or have parents who didn't care how their son presented herself.

No one wants their "passing" shattered or anything else. I even posted a photo of me without makeup, because a few people on here said I wore too much makeup or whatever in some feeble attack of "trannier than thou". In the world of plastic trannies, that took balls. I look exactly the same without makeup, maybe even better LOL

But I didn't always have a high opinion of myself. In high school and college, I was timid and weak. It wasn't until I started living as a gay male that I got the power to be bad ass. I think my male duality has helped me through a lot and on a board where people are in essence transitioning(wanting the priviledge of genetic females). Ego stroking and raunchy humor can be hard to bare. But I am also very supportive of many people here...they WERQK it and are awesome individuals.

Post by: Amalina on January 04, 2012, 04:57:11 PM
Yeah unfortunately for me I fit the "good at being male" part. I'm not the typical super macho homophobe jock type but most would probably be hard pressed to ever see me as anything but male with how I look now, big guy, facial hair etc. things hard to get rid of since thats always been you so it will really make people question any major change, like shaving would for me.

I wish I could post pics but the thought that somehow i might be outed if someone i knew stumbled on it in a search or something is too much to deal with right now. I am pretty sure I already know my likeliness of ever passing. I am pretty sure also where my life is heading. I have a few things to do before then though so not committing to anything yet one way or the other.

I definitely envy your strength, I wish I knew I'd get there myself someday. Thanks.

You should really go through this thread and look at the older pix.  I am stunned at how macho the before pictures were on here.  Absolutely floored at the transitions.  I thought that an andro type of guy would transition and pass better but I've seen that's not necessarily true at all.

Be who you are and the rest will follow.    Find yourself don't ask others to guide you to yourself.  Only you can do that.

Just don't emulate my "powdering of my nose". I don't want you to get in trouble LOL

Well I am very flattered. I think you're cute as well...I love the lighter hair.

But again, transition is different things to different people. I did because I could...other people did it because of dsyphoria or whatever.

Yeah I lurked here for a bit before joining and went through pretty much this entire thread, there were some amazing transitions. I have always had an insecurity about myself that I did my best to hide, guys aren't supposed to be insecure  ::) , looking at myself now and what it would take to get remotely close just seems so impossible.

Most of the people that transition really well seem to be already slightly feminine in body, the closest I have to that is my arms/hands aren't overly bulky, the rest of me is huge. Since I've been trying to figure this out, on if I should attempt transition, I can't seem to control the self esteem issues. It's like now that I'm not pretending to myself so hard to be the "guy" on the inside my emotions are breaking to the surface. I'm not even sure that makes sense since it's so fast and I'm not on anything other than anti depressants. I've never been particularly stable anyways but still.

Mahsa, that is an amazing transition there. Thanks both of you, I hope I don't bother people here too much being such a downer about myself. I just don't have anywhere else beside my blog to figure things out about myself. My normal forum I used to frequent a lot is faith based so obviously they are of no help and I feel awkward there now :( . Please let me know if I need to hush up or anything. I will totally understand.

I don't see much difference, but I did start HRT with a very low dosage for 6 months. Now that I'm at almost full strength I am seeing a lot of difference.

I think a lot of it is about presentation. 'Cause HRT is more like an aid than a magic potion.  It's just not gonna do all the work for you.  If you went for a more feminine presentation (brows, makeup, clothing choice, etc) you would probably see a lot more of a difference.

Just some thoughts. Not trying to criticize.

I know. But, As I have stated many times before, it's hard to look feminine when you cant wear make-up because it comes off due to the heat from molding plastic and spend 90% of the time in uniform. But eyebrows I will work on when I have time. I'm working 7 days this week.*sigh*


I need a career change -_-, this one is getting bad for my health and sanity.

I think most stuff with plastic is bad for your health. Eyebrows are a good thing to work on.
I draw mine on everyday so I do not worry about those things.
Also you have changed a bit, I didn't notice how, or what, but you did.
I guess it'd a bit like me then. :U


But anyways a girl I haven't seen in a long time noticed I looked different.
Apparently I am "a lot more glowey" tthan I used to be. lol
Whatever that means

And Jenny She looks a lot different, maybe a combination of lighting and freckles...
Good comparison though, same face, and yeeeah, girlish no doubt.

Same thing happened to me. They wanted to play it safe with me and then around the 6 or 7 month they were able to go full steam ahead. I've seen a huge difference in my appearance. I've also lost a lot of my guy face and my thighs are bursting and my boobs are growing in such amazing ways. I'm still having some issues with weight but I know I can get a hold of that eventually. Give it time girl.

No, thats not it. I was still sleepy and  I didn't have my glasses on, so I couldn't reply  properly. I just don't subscribe to the theory that real women have pencil thin eyebrows, No eyebrows that have to be drawn on, etc.
having said that, yes, I know they need thinned out, But I have worked 7 days a week for almost a month now. Other things are more important right now (unfortunately). BUT, there is always someone who thinks my eyebrows are too thick, no matter what I do.

So, don't feel bad. *huggles*

You may not subscribe to the theory but the advice is sound - your bushy eyebrows aren't doing you any favours - pluck them a bit.

(btw...... it's not a dig at you, but talking about "real" women offends some of the more touchy girls....... that's why you see the terms "cis-women" or "born women" etc   :))

Okay, I did some pruning. But I refuse to paint/draw/doodle my eyebrows or make them super thin. I don't have a very steady hand these days. :P I'll also show off my hair coloring that I have mixed feelings about. Love the color, just wish the highlights came out as highlights, and not like a bucket of redhead was splashed on me :P But it looks interesting anyway. ^_^

Some of you girls have changed dramatically in such a short time aswell.
I want to mention a few in particular; Karii Cloud, Samantha Marie, LifeInNeon, Cadence Jean and A Dresden Doll.
But like I said, everyone is looking great! :)

I guessed that my features would be a good base for the hormones to work on - I think it turned out alright! ;)

No, not pencil thin. Just better. waxed, then about 2 hours or so plucking to tidy, and shape them. Just in time for me to go shopping today. I picked up 2 tubes of lipstick, lip stain, eyeliner, mascara and some concealer, a green lace-trimmed camisole and a pair of oh so comfy running shoes and a hat.


my new hat was Mixie's suggestion a while back:

I love that you post more pictures without the hat, (though I love this one!) but it shows you are more confident about your hair.  Really the pictures look wonderful.  I am so happy how pretty you've been looking lately!  We still need that picture of the dress!
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Keaira on February 21, 2012, 12:58:58 AM
Thank you Mixie. I don't mind not wearing a hat. Especially since some of that hair has grown back in. Before I though it looked awful. Now I worry about facial hair the most. I'm going to order some derma blend shortly. Unfortunately I'm probably not going to be able to wear it at work because of the heat, but I don't see a point anyway since they all know me there anyway.

Also, that dress should arrive this week. I bought a black bolero to go with it. So I think I'm doing well with this fashion project. I hope the dress fits ok. I don't tend to order dresses online because of  sizing differences.

God I hope I don't look like a guy in a dress when I try it on.  That's what I'm worried about most.

Oh wow, KateConners, your pictures prove my (and many leading scientists') theory that a truly handsome man (and I mean a truly symmetrically handsome man, not a man that has a huge chin, nose, and forehead and is only considered "handsome" by a 1950's sports-minded aesthetic) will also make for an incredibly beautiful, sexy woman. You're insanely beautiful, and I can tell from your male picture that under all the hair, you had a very symmetrical, incredibly symmetric, playful, youthful, healthy face. It can make transitioning very easy!

And Keaira, your appearance keeps getting better and better with every new picture! To be completely honest, I've always been a bit worried about your HRT, for awhile it's seemed that some of the problems you had with your male image still persisted pretty strongly (thicker follicles, acne/scarring, quite a bit of masculine facial fat distribution). It seems like things are slowly improving, but for the time you've been on it, I  may suggest getting a second opinion on your treatment plan, or to look for outside treatments for these traits beyond simply HRT. I've just studied which traits are caused by testosterone and male androgens, and just from looking at your image, it's obvious that your going to make a very cute girl, and that this is definately the right path for you, it's just it hurts me when the progress gets "slowed down" for anyone, possibly because of unexperienced doctors, so I really want your doctor to be sure that he's created the right plan for you! To me, it just seems as though some of these traits should be more improved by now, but then again it also seems like there is indeed some slow progress, so it may just need more time. At any rate I think you have a really unique look that will only keep getting cuter and cuter!

Unique hm? Well I could say I am that. :P
In what way do I have a unique look? I'm just curious.
My Doctor started me off on a low dosage because she found that a lot of people were disappointed with their breast development if they were put on a maximum dosage. Something about tubular breasts or something. Right now, I'm almost at maximum dosage, which I will probably be put on when I see my doctor on the 6th of March. I'm not the only TS patient my Doctor see's so I'm confident in her advice.
But I do appreciate your concern. *hugs*

Also, Today marks 1 year of HRT for me. Happy Anniversary to me :P I can't wait to see how I change by next year.

I agree with jdinatale. A little heavy with the make-up perhaps, but I'm curious as to what you were thinking at the time you took the picture because you have a surprised expression. As many have told me I'm passing the same advice to you. Smile. If you want something to smile about, think of a happy memory or something funny that happened to you. ^_^

Everyone knows that I'm always complaining about too much make up.  I think this is an excellent example of someone who can get away with a lot of makeup. It's tastefully done and very dramatic. I think you look gorgeous beyond belief.  This is "lots of make up" done very well.

Kiera more and more you remind me of Kate Jackson.  I'm going to PM you a couple pix since Torn wigs out when I post them on here.  (sorry Torn,  (((Hugs))))

I just took these with my webcam, sorry that the webcam sucks for pictures. I really need to invest in a quality camera that isn't a stupid gigantic DSLR. Just over a year on HRT.

I already had to cancel one electro appointment because I was weak and gave in and shaved it all off to go out on Saturday. I'm covering up like three day's growth here with pretty minimal makeup. :-\

Whoa!!!!
This is great evidence of us being our own worst critics, as you have changed a tremendous amount. I honestly struggle to see the pictures as the same person. You look very happy and if I saw you, I wouldnt question you at all. Have more confidence in how you look, because you have no reason not to.

I agree.  I can't get over how different you look.  You look like a big burly guy in the first pix,  and then his sweet demure sister in the after ones.  I also agree you should have more confidence.

Whitney, let me echo some of the other responses by saying you look beautiful.

Your statement about looking the same?  There's some truth to that in the sense that eyes are a reflection of what's inside your soul.  You're the same person, but now you see yourself as the person that you identify fully with.  You look 100% female and don't let anyone tell you different.

Way to go sister!

Thank you!!!

I'm actually the exact same weight right now. I lost about 10 lbs from start to month 2. Now, my muscle everywhere has turned into fat. I had pretty decent size pectorals, but now I have a full A cup. My thighs used to be all muscle but now they're flabbier. I used to hate looking at myself in the mirror with only a bra on or no sleeves.. now my shoulders aren't as muscular. My body looks much more feminine than my face does.

Here's mine, they're about two years apart if I remember correctly and are the results of one year of hormones and FFS. No make-up in either (the bruise on my jaw is cause I'm still recovering from my FFS).

Personally, I don't think a whole lot has changed. If I struck those same poses without makeup as in the before shots I'd probably look the same more or less. Though, I'm absolutely my harshest critic, no two ways about that, so who knows. And before anyone says anything about the shadow, you gotta grow some to zap some. I already had to cancel one electro appointment because I was weak and gave in and shaved it all off to go out on Saturday. I'm covering up like three day's growth here with pretty minimal makeup. :-\
very well done! Whitney, you have had a beautiful transition with great results, you look stunning! You go girl!

I hope so. Truthfully though I think it may be possible, but I'm not sure. I still (barely) lift that impact gun every day so I don't know. I'm sure it will be one of those things, like my face, where I didn't notice any changes until one day when I was tied my hair back in the bathroom and cought my reflection in the mirror.

Nope, no nosejob (I kinda want to get one though). I think it might be a lighting thing? Though, I do think my nose is a little thinner maybe? or something ~shrug~

Post by: Alyx. on March 19, 2012, 03:31:21 PM
Um, well, I've been self medicating for three and a half months, then I was on the same dosage but doctor prescribed for a month.

Then I took a blood test to determine my correct dosage and now I've been on that for about two-three weeks. :)

And I'm working on growing my hair out! Hair grows REALLY frickin slowly!
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Alainaluvsu on March 19, 2012, 03:36:39 PM
And what were the test results? Its okay to list your levels here, just not your dosages.

Hair grows .5 an inch a month (on avg). Your hair should be 3 inches longer than it was in the first pic, assuming youve been letting it grow since september.
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Alyx. on March 19, 2012, 03:41:27 PM
Well, I did trim my bangs so it could look like I have a more female hairline. But other then that yeah I've been letting it grow. :)

The test results said that my testosterone was on the low end of male range,, and estrogen wasn't high enough. (I think)  So my doctor didn't increase my spiro dosage but she increase my estrodol dosage by 50%.

Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Alainaluvsu on March 19, 2012, 03:53:42 PM
That makes since. As estradiol increases, testosterone will be further suppressed. Im sure you will start seeing results once testosterone drops below 100 ng/ml. Low end of normal for males is about 300-400. Thats probably your problem. If your libido drops off considerably, and your skin starts drying up, thats a good clue of female range teststerone. If you start developing breasts, thats also a good sign of being in the proper range.

As far as your hair... it looks like its grown slightly, maybe an inch or so but... well maybe the photo is bad for determining that.  Maybe your hair grows slowly. What i do know is that youre about to reach a point where youll start HATING your hair. Just stick with it. Itll be worth it, promise :)

What i do know is that youre about to reach a point where youll start HATING your hair. Just stick with it. Itll be worth it, promise :)

Oh, I've been developing breasts for quite some time. :D How do I know if my skin is dry? It certainly doesn't feel WET or OILY!

Yeah, every time I grow my hair out I chop it off cause I can't stand it anymore. I'll take your word for it. :P

Hahaha, Alainaluvsu, my head thanks you profusely (or a bit, depending on the size/material of the shoes :-D) I do love the cute bookish/librarian thing you have going, though, regardless of shoe size ;-)

Boy my shoes are only a 9 in womens! But that's close enough to keep my shoes from flying I guess lol. TY  :)

Look at your knuckles, are they cracking? Is the skin rather hard? Can you see any dry, dead skin cells on your skin (not just on the knuckles)? If yes, then it's dry. If you look closely in the mirror, are your pores noticable? If so, then it's oily (although most people have combination skin on their face, that is "oily" around the nose and drier as it goes outward from the face)

I started growing my hair out in Sept 2010. I used to never get complimented on my hair. Then I started getting the compliments around July, August? Now I get compliments almost daily. It's worth looking in the mirror for 10 months or so saying "I HATE MY HAIRRRR!!!"

To give you an idea what a difference hair can make, this was taken in September.. right after my last boy haircut:

Haha, holy >-bleeped-<, that IS a difference! ;D

Alright, alright, I'm growing it out as fast as I can. :P

Nah, I don't have any cracking or dead skin, and I can see the pores on my nose rather easily. My labido is down but I wouldn't say it's super noticeable. Should I contact my endo about this?

@ Alainaluvsu:  What did you feed your hair to get it to grow so fast???  My hair is just now that length and I shaved it off a good year and a half ago.

@ Alyx:  Oily skin is relatively normal and they make different items to help out with it. :)    I have oily skin and have to use a certain face wash to keep it from getting too bad.

@ Everyone else:  I love seeing all of these pictures. :)  Someone I know is pre-HRT though she really wants to start soon and I think these pictures are an awesome way to inspire confidence and to help people get through the tough times.

Hahaha, thank you. :)  My hair is just notorious for not growing at the normal speed though it fluctuates in speed, or so it seems.  It's rather annoying since I'd like to get it long enough to cut it and donate it.

Aww.. I'd give alot of stuff, but my hair is staying on my head lol!

You can always eat lots of protein. Hair is made out of keratin, which is a form of protein. Diet is actually quite important when it comes to the health of the hair.

I probably should put more protein in my diet anyway, but if it helps with hair health...

I plan on donating once my hair is down pretty far because I think my mom might kill me if I try to cut it like I did when I was trying to pass as male (which worked, at least in pictures).  Yes, she doesn't live with me, buuuuut one more word of being a "butch lesbian" and I'm going to die (lol). 

I will be trying for a slightly shorter hair cut because I look more androgynous (face wise at least) that way.

Ladies ladies ladies, too much... This thread is hottie overload. You all look absolutely amazing. Pardon the creepy lurking, I'm just snooping around. MTF friend just started HRT so I figured I'd pop over for a bit, peek in on this thread and get a basic idea of what to expect and may I just say... 'Hi. How ya doin?' ;-) (Absolutely mimicking Flynn Rider, btw...) I feel a bit like I'm peeking into the ladies locker room, but for all the shoes you can throw at my head, it was worth it, :-D

I won't throw shoes, I like mine too much. But I have plenty of pointy, round, dull and heavy items to chuck from my tool box. :P
Since you were nice though, I won't. Good luck to your friend and I hope all goes well in her transition. ^_^

Hey Joey
Yes thats my own hair.  It does have a "kink" in it when it starts to grow out.  I am hoping it will be a nice attribute when it is longer.  At the moment though, it's a real nightmare as it will never sit right.  Some mornings It drives me crazy >:(  However I wouldn't trade it in for my old hair cut, a number 2 crop :o never going back there again.

Post by: The Passage on April 01, 2012, 09:33:43 PM
I just thought I would add to the community and stop being so anti-social... so um, I don't have ANY before pictures of me. They've either been deleted or lost in the harddrives of various computers that I've used in the past 3 years. I've never actually been picture-friendly, as I always knew something was missing about me. I always HATED seeing myself in pictures that my mom took. If you left me alone with them in a small room and one lighter, they would be burned to a crisp by the time you came back. I hated myself that much. Now... it's a little more manageable, I guess.

So, since I can't provide a before picture, I'll just try to describe what I looked like right before I figured things out. Which would help narrow it down because I have been through so many changes and styles, aesthetically. Not that anyone would particularly care without photos... but, ya, anyway. I was a lot heavier then, since I was exercising a LOT about every day. I was thin but athletic, and I weighed roughly 170 lbs at 5 feet 7 inches. I was going through an identity crisis phase so I decided to cut my hair down to about a half an inch. Regardless, it helped add to the "bad boy, super male, punker kid" look I was trying to pull off. Which never worked well at all, for obvious reasons. In other words, it went HORRIBLY. I cannot even begin to describe how badly I was acting, trying to be someone else -- the very thing in males that I find attractive. Doh.

I've been on HRT for about... 7 months now? I now weigh approximately 140-145lbs, still the same height of course. Still feeling... not all there, body wise -- of course. :P

Here's a picture, that I'm not very proud of, so please bear with me:

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1094.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi442%2FThePassage-JonaSylvan%2F0125122343b.jpg&hash=06ad2c5de1460e30b70de5ea84d01574389d8fa9)

Yeeeeah... as you can tell, this was taken by my phone, so the quality is, well, bad. I chose it, though, because it kind of highlights a point in my transition where changes in my body are actually visible. I also chose it because it's rather blurry and that comforts me because I think it buffs out the acne and crud that I tried so hard to conceal... LOL! So, when I'm feeling more confident, I may return... to torture you all with my really long posts, with lots and lots of words. :P

HAHA Ms. O'Brien, fancy seeing you here! It has been a very long time indeed since I have popped my face, and keyboard, in here and I am so happy to see a familiar face, even if a new name. You were always a huge inspiration to me and I know you were to countless others as well. You were always there to welcome the newcomers, including me back in 2009 (has it really been that long?). So, what is the member count today? ;)

You are looking wonderful and I still see that smile of yours. Bravo on keeping to the road, even though many have passed - both of us - over the years. I don't know if you remember that thread from before I meandered away to live my life. I do remember it well. Even though it was a sad point in your life, it was beautifully worded and struck a chord with me. I'm sure more than one of the other casually progressing girls felt the same as well. I seem to remember someone having some profound response like, it isn't how fast you get to the end (or was it whether you win the race or come in last?) it is how fabulous you look crossing the finish line. I'm still looking for my finish line finery. :)

Okay, it has been a long time since I have posted in the forum, or even visited. So, I see that I have missed a good of transitioning photos. I guess I'll go ahead and myself to the roster.

Starting off in May of 2009, when I was miserable, depressed (as I usually was up till that time), overweight and hating my life. I was at the heaviest I had ever been - over 230 pounds. This was also about 6 months before I would discover the Holy Grail, and that I was a transsexual woman. Okay, there was no grail, but the other bit is certainly true. This was also one of my happy, bright and cheerful days. I was co-hosting a networking event for industry professionals and was getting to see some good old friends and meeting plenty of new people. And there was food.

Last month. My how things change for the better. I am now down to 150 pounds, 5'7" (or 5'8"?), and thrilled to still be alive. There were a few very serious close calls with the Evil Suicide Demon, but I managed to dissuade him from taking me. I have been on anti-androgens for 19 months, estrogen for 8 months and I am now 4 months full time.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.deannasquest.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Ftimeline%2F03212a.jpg&hash=2ca369f561839147f93002fe63a7304394e36474)

Do I pass all the time? Probably not, but I don't really think about it. Do I get seen and treated like a woman? Oh, yeah, all of the time. I have not gotten a sir in months (except on the phone and drive thru windows). I rarely wear makeup, no more wigs or breast forms. I'm wearing a size 38A bra now and it is really starting to fit properly - WOOOHOOOOO!!!! I go out in the world as myself, with confidence and the world sees me as a woman. That is enough for me at this stage. I am even getting to the point where I not only don't hate myself, but I actually think I am a lot more attractive than I ever thought possible even a year ago.

I think for a half century of living and hating myself, I look and feel pretty darned good. As do all of you other ladies brave enough to post and even more so, live your lives.

Sorry to get spammy again :P But I finally put together some of the pictures I been taking through transition. Figured the before / after thread was a good spot for it.

Very nice. Quite a change there too. It's funny, I dont even notice  the changes going on with my face, except when I get up in the mornings. lol. then I stand there wondering when I stopped looking like a guy. ^_^ I should do one of those videos sometime. ^_^

You look great!  I am inspired but terrified to post my transition. I don't know why. Maybe because I feel a little fragile. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey!

Ok...here is my official "before" pic ;)

the fact my wife took it just a week or so ago is quite amazing! she has been very understanding and actually has been having fun going thru her clothes and has given me a bunch of her cute designer things that dont fit her anymore.

I really need to work on hair, makeup and so many other things, legs are nice and smooth since that pic (feels great btw)
suggestions from my sisters here are more than welcome :)

btw, this outfit looks much better with black tights which we added later;)

The Passage - nice picture. To me, your face looks quite soft and feminine already :)

Deanna Renee - Wow, what a transformation. And your shoulders look narrow, in a good way :) If I saw you on the street, I wouldnt second guess you.

Ms Obrien - Your most recent picture is definitely the best; the happiest looking :)

Thank you. When I looked at my picture from when I was about 20, the first thing that came into my mind was, " I look like a Disney characature!"  But I don't smile like that often because I do have such a wide smile that can look cute or downright creepy, depending on the rest of my facial expression, lol

You might need to trim them too though.
The trimming was a problem for me because I didn't get why my eyebrows looked off.
It was just that some of the hairs were too long.

I don't mind guys posting here at all. In a way, I value their input more than other women because guys generally look at girls way more than we look at each other.
I am happy. Honestly, I never thought I would be.  before my transition I would hate waking up in the mornings. I tried to put on a smile and be in a good mood at work but I had this deep self-loathing and hatred that I couldn't shake. I just wasn't me. Now, I wake up and just have this sense of peace. I like my appearance, I feel free from a role that I was really bad at and I don't have to hold back anything anymore. I'm not angry at the world anymore. ^_^

Well, I can honestly say that your smile portrays so much joy and happiness. The difference is astonishing. I can see a woman's soul in your eyes in the before pictures. The recent pictures are for sure that of a beautiful, confident woman. I looked at your photo and I couldn't help but smile. I am glad that you are happy now. You are a lovely woman. I just wish I could meet you in person and give you a huge hug.

I will stop now however, because I am a little tipsy, and your cute smile makes me want to flirt with you. :D

Oh my goodness, that is amazing TheAetherealMeadow!
There is a lot of careful work in there.
I wonder how long your morning prep takes?

This isn't a before and after as in before and after coming out, but rather this is a before my morning prep (hair, cosmetics, etc.) and afterwards. It makes such a huge difference, even I am shocked it's the same person!  :o

Oh dear, no! I am very gay, but I can honestly say that I am a shameless flirt! My husband always tells me that I am terrible about that. :D I just think you are a lovely lady. Please do not misunderstand me at all, you are a beautiful woman. I just wanted to express my thoughts. You really are a very lovely.

LOL Don't worry Ayden, I didn't misunderstand. I'm very much a Lesbian :P But thank you for the complements, It put a smile on my face.

TheAetherealMeadow, what can I say but, wow. That's a lot of prep work and it looks great! I bet you turn heads with that look. ^_^

Tazia, I really like the pixie cut on you. it's very cute.  and works very well with your small frame. You've certainly changed quite a bit too. ^_^

I want to grow my hair down to my chest. But I may not be able to since I am a technician that works around heavy machinery. Although I'd be able to wear it as a bun and under a hat.... hmmm...

Spent some time going through this thread and all I can say is wow. The changes are incredible. Not going back too too far but Monica, Tazia, and TheAetherealMeadow you all look amazing!

While I haven't been on hormones for too long, and I'm still at a fairly low dosage of estradiol, I still feel that I've seen some changes that I'm very happy with. There are also days where I look at myself in the mirror and I think that things aren't going anywhere. I can't wait to go back to the endo in a month so we can hopefully up my e dosage, I want changes faster hehe :) I know I'm still at the start of my journey, and I've got a long way to go, but I can't wait for what comes next.

Anyway, the before (I think these were back in '09?):

And feeling much better about myself later today:

Sophomore is your second year of high school or college and for high school the age is typically 15

I never heard of there being names for school years! Good to know. I'd always wondered what a freshman year was.

I'm also just now learning that y'all don't separate grades. Like, it's not primary 1-6, middle 1-3, high 1-3 or anything. Interesting...

Anyway, as to your pictures... Well, please have another shot from my envy flame thrower.

I have to agree with Monica.  This is an amazing transformation.  Now doubt you will give much hope to the girls who are just starting out.

Spent some time going through this thread and all I can say is wow. The changes are incredible. Not going back too too far but Monica, Tazia, and TheAetherealMeadow you all look amazing!

While I haven't been on hormones for too long, and I'm still at a fairly low dosage of estradiol, I still feel that I've seen some changes that I'm very happy with. There are also days where I look at myself in the mirror and I think that things aren't going anywhere. I can't wait to go back to the endo in a month so we can hopefully up my e dosage, I want changes faster hehe :) I know I'm still at the start of my journey, and I've got a long way to go, but I can't wait for what comes next.

Anyway, the before (I think these were back in '09?):

Thanks, y'all.   And yeah, I finally got convinced by a stylist to embrace the curly, its way easier to maintain since I just let it air dry and not worry about doing much to it other than keeping it cut and keeping the gray at bay.

I suppose I got somewhat lucky overall, haven't had any ffs or anything like that, my transition has been strictly hormones and time and a little effort.

What is it about cute guys and girls that when they transition they're still cute or pretty? :p

I did for a number of years before that, but then I thought I would give trying to be what others expected another shot for a few years and stopped plucking, didn't wear anything in my pierced ears, grew a beard, etc. In my twenties, lots of people made comments about me being gay behind my back, even when I was married.

It does tend to make many of us look younger, could be due to the way we start picking up more fat under our skin, the way it makes our skin a bit more translucent and just generally softer looking.   

When I didn't smoke for a long time, most people thought I was in my twenties and were surprise to find out I was forty-something.  Losing some weight did seem to add a few years in appearance over the last year though.

Its a butterfly that is on the necklace, haven't worn it in a good while though. These days, I usually just wear earrings and a watch for jewelry and that's it.

And being skinny isn't all that great, I only weigh 134 or so at 5'10" now. I liked it better when I was closer to 150-156, but I can't keep weight on. As it is, I have to eat even when I don't really want to just to maintain my current weight. I'm hoping to eventually gain it back so I don't have to buy all new slacks, jeans and such.

Thanks for your comments:)

I don't have any "pre" digital photos. I recently found some old photos of me when I weighed nearly three hundred pounds and had a beard. I was shocked. (You would be shocked too but you will just have to trust me on this.) OTOH my high school yearbook photo shows a slim "pretty boy." Before Stanley Morgan Chase and the Bank of America paid for my $80,000 in surgeries, I often rued the fact that I could not transition in high school and wondered how pretty I would be had I done this earlier. But after all the work, I don't regret a thing. Sometimes, I have to pinch myself.

Hmmm I am almost jealous now ;). It seems that so many start off with a pretty good face, but as for myself I am not that lucky :S.

I was on for HRT for more than 2 years now. However, here is the big however, I self medicated for the first year and half. During that time I didn't have much estrogen so i was pretty androgynous. It definitely put doubts in my transition at that time. It wasn't until this past January that the doctor I go to now increased my dosage, which I noticed amazing results now. Also its not just the hormones, I've been doing a lot of things to help feminize. I guess its what some girls call "werq it" hehe. But I've been doing a ton of facials, dieting, got my gal hair-cut (yay), learned how to do make-up and what the heck foundation was for lol, I even do facial exercises e.g. some exercises to get my eyebrows to lift up naturally. One thing I also did was get non-ablative fractual resurfacing, I was doing it to get rid of some severe acne scars on my face (yuck). That actually also rejuvenates the face by building collagen. Altogther It definitely took way much longer than I expected it would.

Oh god yeah. Those pix are pretty long between. The boy picture was right before I got into a really bad depression for like 3 years.  Between those years I gained a bunch of weight, lost lots of hair, I just looked like @$$ and I just didn't care about anything anymore. I pretty much lost myself to the world. So I try to avoid some of those pix. But I was about 21 in that boy picture. I started HRT when 24, but really wasn't on a good dose of E until this past Jan. Now I'll be turning 27 in the next couple of months. 


Love you all.

Two+ years of HRT has been rather good to me. My hair is such a mess. I prefer to keep it short. And I haven't finished electro yet - I only have maybe 20 hours left, and I really should finish.

You have made amazing progress and have overcome hurdles that would trip up a person of lesser character.

You have nothing to apologize for!

Love the look.  Absolutely perfect!  I see the dress!  The make up, the hair, the necklace.  All perfect!  I can see a big difference in your cheekbones from even just the few months I've been gone.  You look mighty purty ma'm.

But, thank you for all those wonderful comments. It put a big smile on my face. :D

I'm about five and a half months along today!

I finally figured out a way to upload images from my phone to the computer (You can send them through e-mail? Really?)

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi491.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Frr274%2FHeartwood256%2FBeforeStartinghormonesSeptember2011.jpg&hash=9308c2c04770e5eee75b5995ab4dd4b22f764b47)

Here I am back in september.

And here I am in a pic I just took now. I tried to strike a similar pose... Do you guys see a lot of changes?

(And what's up in my left eyebrow in these pics? Lol seriously, it doesn't arch like that in real life. Photographs tend to do unflattering things to my face. :P)

What I notice with your pics alyx is your face getting fetter and rounder in a short space of time. I've now been on HRT for over 12 years and my face has got thinner and thinner, which is the opposite of what I would have expected. It has made me quite depressed and I'm now in the process of inquiring about fillers etc.

What HRT are you using? are they shots? if so that might be the answer? as we are not allowed shots in our country and have to make do with pills and patches which I think are less effective. Also what anti-androgens are you using?

Hi everyone...this is a first for me but I really wanted to share what I've done so far.
I am turning 40 on Saturday (OMG! I'M IN DENIAL! LOL) and I've gotten a late start.
As you can tell, I'm new and my original intro can be seen at https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,123433.0.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,123433.0.html)

I know this is more of the "before and after HRT" thread and it's important to say I am currently Pre-HRT". Yet in the past year and a half, I've been working very hard to prepare myself for the big event. This is what I have done by just growing out my hair, starting a daily facial and body moisturizer routine, laser hair removal and beginning to lose weight. I have my first endo appointment on Oct 4th. I'm only out to my wife, 2 best friends and the medical community. This is the first I've shared this on-line  ;D

Here I am from 2005
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F1.jpg&hash=38553bba42cb4a447f9bffd2a07a2565d97a1e1c)

Let my hair grow out for the first time in winter 2011
This is where I decide to begin transition...and start shaping my brows.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F2.jpg&hash=d179918d9642cc135ad172544d512beed4ee510c)

Jump ahead 1 year to January 2012.
I have had 5 laser hair removal treatments and I am down 10 pounds from the previous photo.
This is no makeup.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F3.jpg&hash=0f938902cd19e295f5d90bf1abd4c1ea6816f0fb)

Here is May 2012 - I am down 15 pounds from my starting weight and with makeup.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F4.jpg&hash=5fc2d481df1f42dd081de2180a52866b1f99e955)

June 2012 - My hair has gotten long enough to pull back! 9 inches
Received my 9th LHR treatment.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F5.jpg&hash=73bc149e356408dc44fe07839adde891a26e5bdb)

Here is a current photo in July 2012 - This was last week. I am down 25 pounds from my starting weight.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F6.jpg&hash=2bbef644dcae3d5802efe89ea52f9e78a824d194)

Finally here I am from 2003 compared to about 2 weeks ago.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F7.jpg&hash=053a5be4038ddc1b26dc8d916c6e47313e923ed6)

I usually sneak out like this on the weekends to places I feel I wont run into someone.
I still want to lose another 20 pounds before starting HRT and I'm getting very excited to do so.
I shoulda put this on the official "do I pass formum" but the more I thought about it, this really is kind of my "before and after"! BEFORE I had the nerve to pursue what I wanted and AFTER a year and a half of working hard at reaching the goal!!
Thanx for looking ^_^

SarahAnne,

You look just fantastic. And, a huge inspiration to me. I'm at the weight loss, grow out hair stage of the game, and I plan to begin laser fairly soon. Would you mind sharing your daily facial and body moisturizing routine?

Keep going, SarahAnne. Your results are dramatic and with HRT, will likely be even more dramatic.

Post by: Sarah Anne on July 26, 2012, 09:05:59 AM
OMG!!! Thank you all sooooo much!!!!!! ;D

When you live with yourself every day, you know that you never see yourself the way others do. It's quite a chore to make guy parts look feminine and quite often I am unhappy with the way I look. Being the first time I have put myself "out there", you have NO idea (well yes, I'm sure actually some of you do!!) how I am feeling right now!! I had to dry my eyes before responding.

I've seen amazing transformations on this forum and I've been beating myself up that I waited so late in life to start this. Many who have done this before age 25 have been able to achieve truly feminine qualities and I was so afraid that would be unobtainable for myself. Even so....EVERYONE on this forum who has shared images of theirselves are indeed beautiful!! And it just feels so good to present as "yourself"  :)

@delia_dunno - It's a fun place to be in right now isn't?? LOL! You know that people start noticing, but out of respect, most won't say a word! I started my skin care regimen 2 years ago and I follow it faithfully. And at my age, wrinkles are also a big concern as they have been becoming more prominent in the past 3-4 years. I don't wanna sound like a commercial for L'Oreal products, but I've been quite happy with the outcome. Everything below is a L'Oreal product...

Every morning after I shave (which I do MUCH less now), I wash my face with Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Gel Cleanser. Next I apply Youth Code Eye Cream. Then Revitalift Double Lifting Day Serum. Finally comes Youth Code Day Moisturizing Cream. At night, I remove makeup and wash my face with Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Cream Cleanser (a newer addition to my regimen). Then I smooth Youth Code Serum Intense over my face and neck, let it dry and add Youth Code Night Intense Moisturizer.

In the morning and at night after a shower, I apply Golbond Sheer Ribbons Silksoftness body lotion over everything else. Though my body moisturizer has changed a lot over the past 2 years, the key is still to make sure it happens! I also shower with some fragrance of Bath and Bodyworks shower moisturizer and use an exfoliating sponge. It ain't easy and lord knows it's not cheap! My wife frequently asks me "why would you voluntarily go through this work and expense when you are lucky enough to not have to do it!?" By now she understands why...and just going through the motions is a wonderful feeling!!

Thank you all again for your positive comments! There's a long way to go but I don't regret anything that's happened so far!!! ^_^

Sarah

You look so happy and it is very impressive the progress you have made. I especially think so in the July picture. If I was just shown that picture and told nothing about you, I wouldnt have doubted you at all.

SarahAnne,

What an inspiration you are! You are amazing! You look so beautiful and feminine!!! And o HRT, yet!?!?!?!

Are you sure you are not a girl who used to have hirsutism and dress masculine? I am serious, I have never seen anything like this. It's like you are already a woman!!!! Is your wife jealous of you?

Please, keep us posted when you start HRT!!! I can only imagine how beautifully feminine you are gong to look.

PS How tall are you?

Congratulations and love from my heart,
Andrea

Post by: Sarah Anne on July 26, 2012, 09:03:54 PM
You can't imagine how wonderful it has been to hear such positive reinforcement. I had a therapy session today and I told my therapist that I had made my first post and shared some of the comments with him. He said "See? Told ya!" I have a pretty big self esteem problem and he said posting here was another major step in my coming to terms.

@Make_it_good - Thank you so much! The July pic is one of my favorites.

@Madison Leigh - Thanx! I wish my body felt good but I guess it's aging worse than my looks :D

@[Redacted] - I avoid the sun as much as I can. Two summers ago I started working with self tanning lotions. I find some work pretty good without turning you orange! In the past two months, I've actually started having some issues passing as a guy when I'm trying to and that's the thing that scares me about HRT. I want to tell people when I am ready, not because of changes I can't hide. Yet I'm excited to see what's in store!

@NotThereYet - Thank you soooo much! I didn't know what hirsutism was so I had to Google it. I can assure you that is not the case. At times I still feel like I'm not passable and struggle with going out. My worst enemy is indeed my height. I am just under 6 feet so I make a pretty tall woman. When people in public do glance at me, I like to believe it's just because I'm tall and not because I'm not presenting well. From my first moment out, I never noticed many people looking at me, but the few that did seem to get less and less as time moves forward. My wife has commented a couple of times that I looked better than she did. She's not happy during those moments and understandably so.

@JasonRX - ^_^

SarahAnne, 

People like tall girls.  I'm 5'10" and am forced to go out as a girl for various reasons.  People always compliment me on my height (both sexes do this) and it's one of the things that most guys I've dated have rather liked.  Height can definitely be awesome.  I know I like seeing girls taller than me (partially because I'm like "oh, god, I'm not alone" and partially because it's a bit awe-inspiring to me).  I don't think I'm doing a very good job at explaining it. =/ 

Anyway, I think you look fantastic and I couldn't believe you hadn't started HRT yet.  I also love your snazzy top in the last picture! <3

Yes, I can guarantee you that they glance at you because you are a pretty tall gal, which is not a bad thing, on the contrary it is a very attractive feature: men love tall women.
That said, I personally don't think height is that important, at all, I am 5'8"-5'9" myself, therefore definitely not short, more important is how you carry yourself: you can be 5'5" and look clumsy and graceless, and you can be 6'2" and be like a beautiful gazelle. I saw a woman in a store, last week, who was at least 6'2" and her friend, who was with her, was just about as tall as I am. Well, people were looking at her, obviously, since she was pretty tall, but, nonetheless, she had a way about her that was very nice and fluid. I don't know you in person, but from the pictures you have posted I can tell that you have a lot of grace and style. You will be just fine, just get used to being looked at: people love tall women, especially women themselves. Also, just a tip, don't only wear flats: you will appear to be taller than you are, rather wear low heels. :-) Talking about shoes, what is your shoe size? And how is your voice? Congrats again and talk to you soon, you beautiful princess!  PS Your wife seems to be great at embracing your true self: how did you manage that?

I often do wear low heels. I'm quite happy with my shoe size as I vary from 9 to 9.5 in almost everything. People have told stories of losing up to a whole shoe size on HRT....8.5 would make me a VERY happy girl while an 8?! I can't even imagine that!!

I never had a really deep man voice and I sing in the baratone range so I can do tenor or bass very well. I've been working with several on-line "vocal instructions" trying to get locked into the female range. I'm still nervous when I speak so that sometimes causes some hesitation and volume problems.

My wife is really "my world!" As I began wearing more female things and changing my appearance, she always got sad that the man she fell in love with was disappearing. Now 6 months later, she tells me that seeing me in "guy mode" is becoming the "more awkward" look!  ;D Our relationship is closer than it has ever been!

Here's a pic that I quickly snapped yesterday in the mirror before heading off the therapy. It's so hard sneaking into the car hoping the neighbors don't see cuz we don't have a garage, just a driveway!

Is there a specific forum I can move my "progress and adventures" to? I don't want to keep eating up space here in the "before and after" thread. But I would like to keep everyone up to date on my progress ^_^

Hi Sarah,

I think you are not "eating up any space", at all, you are actually being an inspiration to us all, especially me! We are about the same age, we are in the same situation in terms of relationships, and you are just a bit taller (I am 5'9" something), but your feet are smaller: I am a women's 10, sometimes even 11, depending on the shoe!!!!!

I am very interested about your vocal training: do you have some sites to recommend? Do you have any tips for me? I would really appreciate any help.

Also, may I ask you where you stand at in terms of romantic interests, in a purely hypothetical way, since I sense that you are very happy with your wife, and you are strictly monogamous, just like myself, are you hetero, bi? If you feel more comfortable to talk privately abut this, please, feel free to send me a PM.

I send you lots of love and admiration, you beautiful, classy lady,
Andrea

Hi everyone...this is a first for me but I really wanted to share what I've done so far.
I am turning 40 on Saturday (OMG! I'M IN DENIAL! LOL) and I've gotten a late start.
As you can tell, I'm new and my original intro can be seen at https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,123433.0.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,123433.0.html)

I know this is more of the "before and after HRT" thread and it's important to say I am currently Pre-HRT". Yet in the past year and a half, I've been working very hard to prepare myself for the big event. This is what I have done by just growing out my hair, starting a daily facial and body moisturizer routine, laser hair removal and beginning to lose weight. I have my first endo appointment on Oct 4th. I'm only out to my wife, 2 best friends and the medical community. This is the first I've shared this on-line  ;D

Here I am from 2005
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F1.jpg&hash=38553bba42cb4a447f9bffd2a07a2565d97a1e1c)

Let my hair grow out for the first time in winter 2011
This is where I decide to begin transition...and start shaping my brows.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F2.jpg&hash=d179918d9642cc135ad172544d512beed4ee510c)

Jump ahead 1 year to January 2012.
I have had 5 laser hair removal treatments and I am down 10 pounds from the previous photo.
This is no makeup.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F3.jpg&hash=0f938902cd19e295f5d90bf1abd4c1ea6816f0fb)

Here is May 2012 - I am down 15 pounds from my starting weight and with makeup.

June 2012 - My hair has gotten long enough to pull back! 9 inches
Received my 9th LHR treatment.

Here is a current photo in July 2012 - This was last week. I am down 25 pounds from my starting weight.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F6.jpg&hash=2bbef644dcae3d5802efe89ea52f9e78a824d194)

Finally here I am from 2003 compared to about 2 weeks ago.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sarahsmagickingdom.com%2Ffiles%2F7.jpg&hash=053a5be4038ddc1b26dc8d916c6e47313e923ed6)

I usually sneak out like this on the weekends to places I feel I wont run into someone.
I still want to lose another 20 pounds before starting HRT and I'm getting very excited to do so.
I shoulda put this on the official "do I pass formum" but the more I thought about it, this really is kind of my "before and after"! BEFORE I had the nerve to pursue what I wanted and AFTER a year and a half of working hard at reaching the goal!!
Thanx for looking ^_^

Sarah
Sarah, you look great! 
It's never too late...I am 48.  Good for you on living your dream and going for it!
Best wishes,
Jen

Still just started this journey and I hope that I will make alot more progress and eventually pass in the future.

Hi again!
I tried to PM you but it told me I'm not allowed to do that yet. Guess I'm still too new :)


I don't mind responding here though...The voice training I found the most effective was at http://www.exceptionalvoice.com/ (http://www.exceptionalvoice.com/)
I've realized you don't need to get up very high to be in the "female range". It's ultimately more about how you speak and how your words flow compared to sounding like a poor Mickey Mouse impersonator! However, because I'm often nervous about presenting, sometimes I speak softly and people can't hear me. I'm getting better with time though...it's all about experience.


As far as my love interests go, I'm still not clear how to classify myself. I'm hetero from a male perspective but lesbian from a female perspective. I'm never quite sure how to say that. I love my wife with all my heart and I have never been attracted to males. Yet I have come to realize that my attraction to females has always been more of a "desire to be" rather than male lust. But I am fine with that. Some have claimed that once on HRT, they began "noticing" men. I'm happy the way I am so I hope that doesn't ring true, even though it seems to be the more natural acceptance.

 Hi Sarah!!!

Yep, you need only five more posts (total of 15) and then you will be able to send PM"s :-)
I took a look at that page you mentioned (http://www.exceptionalvoice.com/ (http://www.exceptionalvoice.com/)) and I must say it looks like you need an advanced degree, like a PhD r something, in some technical field in order to digest all that!!! J How expensive is it, though? How much has it cost you so far, if I may ask? Also, what software program(s) do you need in order to do the stuff that they recommend you to do?

Well, I am very glad that your romantic needs are covered, I think you can rally call yourself super lucky! J
What I find interesting is how many, rather feminine, not butch, TS/TG women are exclusively attracted to women. Maybe I will have to start a survey like thread to see what the percentages are. J

Once my b-shadow in the face is gone I think it will get a little better. And after my nose is adjusted I might be able to accept what I see in the mirror. Yay it feels good :D.

Fundamentals of the Female Voice comes in 3 .mp3 files. The cost is $87.00. I purchased it after looking at several programs that claim to help train your voice. Really the only other thing you need is a pitch tuner (which people use to tune musical instruments). There are free pitch tuner apps available for both iPhone and Droid. I use my Droid and it works great. When you speak, the pitch tuner shows the range in which you are speaking. The fundamentals program has a chart and shows where males typically speak and where the female range is. I actually found I didn't have to go much higher to hit the female range, but again, it has a LOT to do with HOW you speak. The flow, the intonation and the vocabulary you use are what matters most. Lost of bio women have low voices so take comfort in that. That website does seem complex but once you start listening to the .mp3 files, it's rather straightforward. Yesterday for the first time, I went out on a limb and tried to pass as Sarah on the telephone. The guy I spoke with didn't seem to question me and closed with "have a great day ma'am!" ^_^

Tessa, I really appreciate that you've posted these photos which are so close together in time.  It is very inspiring to see how much it's possible to change one's look without actually doing much 'heavy duty work'.  As you say, you're not really long into your journey.  I've viewed so many of the other changes members have posted here and been amazed at how often there was little visible connection between the old and the new.  I personally struggle to see the possible end result I may acheive when I look in the mirror.  This isn't a matter of criticising my features, mind you, it's just that I have to keep in mind that what I will look like, even in the near future, is an image I may not even be able to imagine in advance.  Certainly your own progress is impressive!  (And totally cute ;))

But, ultimately, Ive seen some of your before and afters, and it has inspired me to post up. I think ive changed a lot lol, and hopefully I can inspire one person as much as those others who have posted in this thread have inspirted me!

I'm not sure I understand the question. I was intentionally bald for a while and then I grew my hair back. I had been just letting it grow, as you'll see in the following picture. But, I got tired of taking care of all of that so I got it cute short.

Oops Connie Anne, sorry, I thought you had male pattern baldness, and I was wondering how you got your hair to grow so well. I thought maybe it was a wig....

The reason why I am asking is that my hair is thinning on top and I am looking at the different options.

Make sense?

Most definitely! It was probably the best decision I made in my life so far aside from deciding to go forward with transitioning. :D

Self acceptance is one of the most difficult parts of transition. No amount of time can go by, nor the volumes of hormones, and the most expensive surgeries can do the work that self acceptance can. I have found for my own battles with this that many of the Budist teachings on this are CRITICAL. They are teaching me how to search out the inner me and how to gain happienes and self acceptance to gain an inner peace. It may be worth a look...

I've come to the conclusion that the 2 most important things needed for a successful transition are: 1) Self-Acceptance - without this, the confidence required to live day to day is very hard to acquire and 2) A sense of humour - This is needed so we can laugh at ourselves when we make a mess of things and so we can smile when faced with other adversity.

Awe, thanks, V M! : )  I am definitely much happier, much more together, all around, and more confident.  Sometimes, the journey amazes me, and I still go through points where I feel like I look terrible, but there has also been enough time that my past almost seems like remembering another person.  Thanks again, it's nice to hear : )

Here's my first transition slideshow! 8 months of HRT. Started at 29 yrs old. I've been part time since March 2k11 and went full time 2ish months before HRT.

From John to Jess (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y5lCbA46k4&feature=youtu.be#)

You're beautiful!

thanks!
I wish I did, which is probably why I'm posting these pictures... like if I can find other people that like me... maybe I can like myself? but thats just silly.  I know it is, loving yourself comes from within, so why am I still here posting pictures of my transition?

The boy in the photo looks quite sad. What do you see when you see yourself in these photos? When I see your before and after photos I feel a sense of euphoria and elation for you. If you've only been FT for 5 months, your feelings are perfectly understandable. I was totally paranoid at the start. I presumed everyone was reading me, but the opposite was the reality. I was quite incredulous and I still have a little sense of that disbelief that won't go away 15 years later!

HRT 'appears' to have given you a brow lift. Your eyes have opened up quite a lot. Wrinkles appear filled out. I think you started with a good structural base.

You looked a little like James Marsters, who was drop dead gorgeous in his Spike days.

Thanks for the comments :) I'm still pre any FFS but there are a couple of things I want to get done. As I am now I seem to be "passing" but honestly you never know. I've only just started really living "full time" and I'm constantly surprised when I find out people had no idea I'm trans... I'm always like "what? Seriously how could you not know??"

Seriously, how could you possibly know? Isabelle, the only really masculine features in the before photo are the whiskers and unkempt eyebrows. Anything masculine about your chin appears to be a non-issue in the after photo perhaps the influence of a little makeup and HRT. Good job Isabelle, no go with it honey!

I think it's totally normal to look in the mirror and see something other than what other people are seeing.  I am really bad at scrutinizing and criticizing myself.  The truth is that I pass, and I'm pretty much stealth.  But when I look at myself, it's hard not to see all of my insecurities, and that fact that *I* know I'm trans, so I end up overlaying that on myself.  I guess it's probably pretty normal?  Anyway, your gorgeous, your side-to-side pics are astounding, and I don't think I would know, if I didn't already : )

Congratulations again,

1 year.

The legs are actually larger now, but with a much greater fat percentagem. The torso was dissolved by hormones and by my own body when I continued working out my legs and purposedly starving a bit, so that would happen.

"Life partner"? I like the way how you're polite, philosophical and avoid specific gender tags and marital titles altogether... iuaehiuhaieuhiuahiea

Yup, she's my girlfriend =)

And thanks for the compliments, guys =) I really appreciate how they treated me during the entire process and the reults of the operation.

I often do wear low heels. I'm quite happy with my shoe size as I vary from 9 to 9.5 in almost everything. People have told stories of losing up to a whole shoe size on HRT....8.5 would make me a VERY happy girl while an 8?! I can't even imagine that!!

I never had a really deep man voice and I sing in the baratone range so I can do tenor or bass very well. I've been working with several on-line "vocal instructions" trying to get locked into the female range. I'm still nervous when I speak so that sometimes causes some hesitation and volume problems.

My wife is really "my world!" As I began wearing more female things and changing my appearance, she always got sad that the man she fell in love with was disappearing. Now 6 months later, she tells me that seeing me in "guy mode" is becoming the "more awkward" look!  ;D Our relationship is closer than it has ever been!

Here's a pic that I quickly snapped yesterday in the mirror before heading off the therapy. It's so hard sneaking into the car hoping the neighbors don't see cuz we don't have a garage, just a driveway!

Is there a specific forum I can move my "progress and adventures" to? I don't want to keep eating up space here in the "before and after" thread. But I would like to keep everyone up to date on my progress ^_^

Too Cute Sarah ....  I completely understand the driveway thing.

I dunno, that "thick, solid and tight" business went right over my head unless you're referring to the before pix!

Serena Lynn, you look fabulous and it must have taken a lot of work coupled with the effects of HRT to get down to feminine proportions. Nice figure Ms!

Shan, even though I am well past my prime, I can still appreciate a young, feminine, hard-body.  Feminine does not necessarily mean soft and girlish.  Just think of all those female Olympic athletes.

I did have quite a bit of mass prior. Three months before I started HRT I stopped going to the gym and went to just straight cardio. Up until two weeks ago I was running around 25 miles a week. I also cut my diet down and went to a low carb diet and just watched my calorie count. I now have stopped doing any fitness and I'm just trying to put a little fat on in the "right" areas still watching calories and carbs though.

Good plan for anyone here wanting to achieve the same kind of results! I did the same and went from 235 to 168, still do the gym three days a week, 40 minutes cardio and another half hour with very light weights and a lot of reps for tone. None of it works without a radical change in eating habits and watching calorie count. The body has a memory and will put it all right back on unless one sticks with it for six months after reaching the desired weight. I was doing five days a week, now just three to stay on top of it. (Exercise, eat low fat and few carbs with plenty of water)

harmonic_dissonance, I really have to ask, how old were you when you started?

(No, seriously, life is unfair. I was already fat, large-boned and hairy in my childhood. I demand the abolition of my genes and the commercial distribution of others'.)

Padma,
       Changes a-plenty! Your first photo looks really masculine and your facial features were much fuller, I don't see those cute dimples there and would imagine that you were probably a bit heavier then. Now you look night and day different from that fellow, quite feminine and possibly much happier.

Unfortunately there are some issues with my face that nag me very strongly of my once masculine days.

Nothing else, yet. 

Working toward FFS at the present.  :o
If you have other important expenses coming up, I'd suggest to wait for FFS. Unless your pictures are misleading, I don't think you need it, really. I'm not saying you shouldn't get it ever - many don't need it objectively but do to feel good about themselves, and I might be included in that - but be really sure of your decision. Because FFS is really expensive. Annoyingly, even if you just want a little bit off, say, your chin, well, a chin reduction is a chin reduction, and you pay the full price. Bleh.

I myself, even though my face isn't - from the looks of it, eh, pictures are pictures - nearly as feminine-looking as yours, I'm not sure I'll be getting FFS. Well, our situations aren't really the same since my estradiol dose is way too low and even if it weren't, I've only started HRT this year, but I definitely know what you mean by masculine features that don't look so bad to others but annoy you a ton. But still, I'm telling myself that maybe after a while being full-time, I'll stop caring so much about it and will want to spend that almost-two-years' income's worth of money on something else. But well, I have all the time I need to make a decision. With tons of clothes to buy and electrolysis to have done from next year on, I seriously doubt I can even start saving up for anything else before 2014 at least.

Thank you for the advice.

I've been on HRT for four years and I love my results, but I didn't start early enough to effect the outcome of some prominent bone structures.  I allowed hormones to work their magic before deciding fully that I wanted to undergo any cosmetic alterations.  I'm well aware of the costs of FFS and have talked about assessments with everyone from Spiegel to Suporn (lots and lots!)  Finances aren't too big of a concern at the present and I am looking forward to scheduling next year with Bensimon, it's something I have always wanted and dreamed of getting and is peace-of-mind for me.  All the requested procedures are small alterations (I don't need/want a new face).  Not sure what else to say, I am glad everyone thinks I look pleasing however I want to look pleasing to myself first!  If that makes sense.  :x

Seriously, everything about you makes me jealous. xD

Of course it does. I feel the exact same, and you shouldn't feel guilty about it at all.
Oh, by the way. My girlfriend shopped around surgeons quite a bit too, and she said a lot of good things about these, mainly the first one:
http://facialfeminization.eu/ (http://facialfeminization.eu/)
http://www.chet-plasticsurgery.com/ (http://www.chet-plasticsurgery.com/)

She got a quote from the first (Belgian) one. She asked for all the procedures she thought she might maybe want, so it comes up expensive, but naturally, you can substract the stuff you don't want and get an idea of his prices. According to her (and she's pretty awesome at searching), he's pretty expensive but has amongst the best results.

Here's an ugly version of it. I saved the PDF as a Word file to remove private info, and it ended up that way. :p

So jealous but also hopeful right now, Michelle you remind me alot of Tracey from Birds Of A Feather one of my mum's favorite UK shows. I can attest to the expence of facial surgery as about 4 years ago I went to have my nose straightened(I'd had a deviated septim for about 11 years at that point) and also remove some other things from inside my nasal passages(can't recall what they were called) and all up it was about 3,500 here. My parents paid for it and got a good amount back on medicare but it is enough for me to dread the cost of getting more done like my chin for example.

WOW, Joanna that was a terrific transition you are beautiful! It is just so amazing how you lost all that masculine man-bulk and femmed down to such girly proportions. I felt a twinge of envy at those bushy dark eyebrows you had to work with in the first place. I barely have any eyebrows and have to pencil them in if I want them. Funny how a face looks as if something is missing with no eyebrows. Congratulations on a really successful transition doll face!

Thanks girls.  Although the vid is before and after, I dont feel as if transition is complete by a long shot. I am 13 months in with hopefully more to come.  I hope so anyway (I want bigger boobs! ;D).

Shan, as for the brows, well they are high maintenance.  I have to pluck everyday and they grow back so fast.  I have a very good magnifying mirror and an excellent pair of tweezers!

Good luck with those boobs! Meantime, the thing that really strikes me is not just how much cuter you look as a woman than a man, but also how much happier, more natural and more relaxed you seem too. Such a happy ending!

Sorry, that's wrong. What I should have said was: such a happy new beginning! :)

No. I eat like one meal a day. Food is expensive! I dunno how people can eat and eat. Even when I have a lot of food in front of me I can only eat like half of it before I feel like I don't want anymore and start to gag.

But I've always been thin. Really thin. I don't think much has changed.

I'm jealous of both your HRT dosage and your thinness. I'm closer to underweight than overweight now (healthy weight range according to BMC), yet I still appear fat, sort of. And i'm not very far behind you in terms of HRT time, yet with my sucky dosage I haven't changed much if at all.

November 26th, my appointment. I seriously can't wait.

My dosage sucks too lately, apparently I've had male levels of testosterone in me for several months. :I I'm going to get a new prescription dec 3rd but until then I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

Thanks girls.  Although the vid is before and after, I dont feel as if transition is complete by a long shot. I am 13 months in with hopefully more to come.  I hope so anyway (I want bigger boobs! ;D).

Shan, as for the brows, well they are high maintenance.  I have to pluck everyday and they grow back so fast.  I have a very good magnifying mirror and an excellent pair of tweezers!

You know, electrolysis works on eyebrows too. My electrologist reminded me of that early on and I told her that we'll look at that option once my face is cleared. :)

Gotta be careful though with electro. I've seen someone who'd had her eyebrows way overplucked, but it was electro'd, actually. Ruined eyebrows forever. :x

Back in the 1930's and 40's women would shave them completely off and then pencil on the brows they wanted. Some had eyebrows that never grew back!  ???

Just putting it out there.. I wanted to show the effects of hormones so yeah.. Here's a set. Hope I don't get flagged.

*note I was on spiro in the before picture. I had no estrogen yet though.

That's quite a leap visually, you actually look pretty nice as a senior woman, nice eyes, jawline looks good for a woman your age. BTW - I can say this because I'm probably your senior, so the critique isn't coming from a youngster. I think you look great!

The exercises is a "once every other day" routine. Something between 1h and 1h20, focused solely on the lower part of the body. But that is because I have the arms from before. For those who don't, 6x a week on the gym, one day for lower body, other for upper body.

The diet is more of simply "eating well". Chicken or fish with some kind of salad or vegetables for the main meals, just a sprinkle of rice and beans or pasta, and white cheese and turkey on the sandwiches for the breaks... to drink, a cup of milk or natural juice. No soda, no dessert, no red meat, and most certainly no cheetos and the like =P One meal every three hours and a bit of protein before bed - milk, or fish or chicken - so you won't catabolyze your muscles during sleep. That is, dissolve them to feed the body.

It's hormones, and the fact I had never focused my training in there before the transition. And yeah, that's my butt =P 96cm of it to be precise. The only place i'll be doing implants is in my breats, the rest i trust the gym with. My goal is getting to 120.

Fantastic body Myra kudos! I can tell you've put in a lot sweat labor to get to that point. I do my crunches and eat a lean high protein diet but haven't come anywhere near that sleek sculpted look that you have achieved after three years at the gym. Of course there's a big age difference as I'm almost 70.  ;)

My moto is "do what you can, with what you have, where you are." So as long as you're better than you were the day before, that's awesome. Screw the others =) There are thousands of women, XX, XY and otherwise, that are better sculpted than me. They serve as an inspiration, but not exactly as a comparison.

And thanks, my friend, for the compliment =) Yes, those are six years of sweat.

This thread is super duper inspiring. I am on day 12 of HRT and it makes me giddy thinking of the things that will happen to my body after seeing the beautiful changes that have happened to all of you. It also inspires me to continue eating well and start incorporating some lower body exercises.

Thank you girls for sharing your amazing photos and progressions. It will be a dream come true if I can look half as beautiful as any of you. Cannot wait to share some pics of my own in the coming year :D

Hello again,

You are a good example of why some consider Brazilians the most beautiful people in the world.

Actually, I consider brazilians to be ugly as hell in general. Specially men. I'm more into the nordic/scandinavian/german/american stuff.

But girls... yeah there's plenty of pretty girls, but only in very specific parts of very few towns.

Welcome back, Tazia!  You say that you haven't changed much other than your skin....well, uh, yeah you have.  Your face shape is a LOT more feminine now.  Just from the two recent pictures (your avatar plus this new one), I wouldn't have EVER, EVER taken you as anything but a cis-girl. 

And Harmonic, the bottom picture looks just like a young version of my former therapist.  Pre-FFS or not, you still have a cute face.

Hopefully FFS will pick up where I've left off and make things more bearable! 

I'm not really sure what you would be doing with FFS. As far as I can tell, you're pretty cute.

I hope it goes well for you, but I think you could probably do without if you wanted. :)

Thank you, Catherine. I am very happy about the progress. Thrilled to bits that I have come as far as I have. Never would have expected anywhere near this two years ago. But, proud? I can't say I have much to be proud about. I owe most of it to hormones and nature. I just came along for the ride. The beginning of the journey was more than a little bit harrowing and nerve wracking, but this past year has been absolutely amazing. The difference between driving down a heavily forested mountain and nice, smoothly paved roads. :)

I need to follow your diet plan Deanna, I have a belly that needs to be slimmed down. my arms... well that probably wont happen since it's all muscle. but if I can slim down, I'll be really happy. But you made amazing progress to drop so many sizes in so short a time. Well done ^_^

My diet plan is nothing special. I simply started eating smaller portions and more regularly (three meals a day, rather than one or two), cut down on desserts and soda. Perhaps the biggest thing was getting rid of the stress and working 80-100 hours per week and feeling good about myself - for once. I believe hormones also had a major impact. I lost a LOT of muscle mass as well as fat. I've also been walking a lot this past year, since losing my car. I walk an average of 20-40 miles per week. Nature and proper hormones has done most of the work.

Deanna <3

Most of the muscle is gone now. Scrawny arms and legs. Flat butt though. :(

Jessica,
     Looks like you lost a ton of weight since 2008, good going! You have a long oval face type rather that a short, round oval which is nice enough. You'll want to continue the facial hair deforestation and consider a hair style with bangs to diminish the height of your forehead. Eventually a little FFS to get the nose recontoured and probably some other tweaking I can't pick up on right now. But you do have a nice platform to begin with. Hope you don't mind a well meant critique coming from a friend who has a bona fide mutt face. You'll notice you don't see it in my avatar for good reason.  ;D :D ;D :D

Thank you for the constructive critique. I definitely want my nose redone.  I can probably get away without tweaking the brow bossing but it would look better to have it done at the same time of a hairline advancement and mini face-lift to open my eyes more.  Thanks for the compliments!  :-)

You have been fighting your urge to go full time for quite a while now.  I seem to recall you saying that you were going to have a little FFS and then go for it.  I thought this was a good idea and took your advice.  I am now full time.  It is now your turn xxx

Aw Thanks Mintra.  I did not really know how things were going to go.  I never really expected to look the way I do now.  So much is a gamble when you transition.  Genetic, age, health and body type all play a role in your success.  The only guarantee is that you wont become more male!

Keaira, quite a transition thus far which is always encouraging to others as they ponder the possibilities for their own lives. Like the commercial said, "You've come a long way baby!"

Thank you. :)

Truthfully I think that smiling helps. And after 2 years of HRT I couldn't be happier inside, despite all the BS I deal with from Valeo Sylvania. Because of the people at work, I sometimes don't realize I am passing until Someone calls me Ma'am, lol
But, I'm no different from anyone here. We all face our own life's challenges.

I am glad my post (above) has been taken by most the way it was intended.  I poke fun at myself at times, as a reality check.  You see, for some of us, for any number of reasons, the "before and after" can't be recorded in photographs.

Shantel, for instance had to recently stop taking her HRT, because of a DVT.  I had a brain bleed (cerebral hemorrhage) in March, and a smaller one in August, and there isn't a doctor anywhere near me who will again prescribe HRT.

Our future transitions will need to be measured on the emotional and mental and spiritual levels.  In my case, I hope to continue putting my male self into the background, and emphasizing my better part.  Auntie Shan was pretty far along, and I am sure she will remain the sweet spirit I have gotten to know.

And there are others here, who because of family situations, or work, or finances, can only dream right now of achieving what some of the other folks here have been able to accomplish physically.  But that does not mean you are at an impasse.  Perhaps the most important things to change are your heart and mind.

Early days yet, but sometimes early before and afters can be interesting too. ^^ Some time ago:

And now, after four months (hence the four fingered salute) of the fairly light dose of HRT my doctor put me on until I get back from Japan:

Some days I feel like my whole world has changed, and other days not so much. ^^'' All my spots have gone, anyway, which is always nice. And the other day I was getting changed and found out my boobs were growing. :'D So change is definitely afoot~

You're cute honey and kinda sweet looking. I prefer the eyewear in your first photo over that of the second which seems to break up your face and make the statement "Look, I'm wearing glasses!" Other than that you have all the makings of a very nice lady!

Just got a new haircut today! So I took some photos and then I realised I had taken photos in this location like 3-4 years prior!

So back then...

Here's a pic I look showing how I look when I'm not trying to look pretty. I felt bad and I was beating myself up for being an ugly boy... Plus I hated my curly hair. Still do, which is why I straighten it to avoid looking like THIS again.

Here's me with no hurr. Dunno why I cut it all off... I think I just wanted to look cleaner.

And now!

Just got a new haircut today! So I took some photos and then I realised I had taken photos in this location like 3-4 years prior!

So back then...

Here's a pic I look showing how I look when I'm not trying to look pretty. I felt bad and I was beating myself up for being an ugly boy... Plus I hated my curly hair. Still do, which is why I straighten it to avoid looking like THIS again.

Here's me with no hurr. Dunno why I cut it all off... I think I just wanted to look cleaner.

And now!

15 months or so along, and trying to look pretty vs not trying, plus a distance of about 4 years. I've changed quite a bit. ;)

Hi! Your changes are impressive! And... You're marvelous! :)

I like your haircut! Perhaps when going the other way. I'm for now letting it grow until... sometime. In the future maybe I'll just cut it very short (when "female", who knows?), I like to shower and quickly dry the hair and sleep :)

About the fashion sense: thank you! I've been reading many things about fashion since before discovering I'm just "not male" :) These are my day-to-day clothes to wear, I can wear something and post here :)

Yes! I never really liked being that person. But then, I just didn't know what was happening. And then all of a sudden I realized there was something. Something I had to ponder and... and work every detail for it to be natural. There is still a long way to go, but now a road can be seen! I'm just happy (haven't I told it before? haha) :)

Looking good, MaidofOrleans - you have a very sweet, happy look.  Your 'brother' has some middle brow bossing (as do I), that I don't see in your current pics.  Did HRT help with that?

The fat deposits along my brow line and eye brows have raised and evened the area out I guess.

Wow, that's amazing.  When did you really start to notice the change?  I'm at two months now and I can't imaging I'll be seeing so dramatic a change in just another two monts.

I guess this is another real life example of why it makes sense to wait for HRT to do its thing before considering FFS.

Hey everyone  :)

Its been soooooooooooooooo long since I last posted, about a year ago now I think when I had just started transition.
My lack of confidence and other life stuff kinda took me away from here.
But I'm back! and I thought I would show where I am now.

Its been one hell of a year in every possible way, but worth every bit :)

Before (1 year ago)

Wow, thank you so much, that really is so awesome to hear :)
Its taken me this long to post up a pic, I was always too apprehensive after seeing all the wonderful photos up here.
Don't get me wrong I'm still not uber confident far from it in fact, but the difference is now I am happy and proud of what I have accomplished.

So far as FFS goes, yes I did have a bit (wanted much more but too expensive atm)
I had:
1) Rhinoplasty (Open)
2) Lips fillers (restylane)
3) Jaw reduction via (Botox injections into Masseter Muscle)

Hey everyone  :)

Its been soooooooooooooooo long since I last posted, about a year ago now I think when I had just started transition.
My lack of confidence and other life stuff kinda took me away from here.
But I'm back! and I thought I would show where I am now.

Its been one hell of a year in every possible way, but worth every bit :)

Before (1 year ago)

Laura,
     I like this one especially, the eye makeup accentuates those pretty eyes and of course your expressions seen in the "After"photos indicate that there has been a vivacious woman hiding in the seemingly unhappy person that was your former self. You appear to be an extremely attractive woman and someone who would be fun to be with.

Post by: blue.ocean.girl on January 30, 2013, 11:48:17 AM
Wow, thank you everyone! You're all so amazingly sweet. I've hit a bit of a rough patch the past few weeks, and its so encouraging to read what you all have said.

@shantel: Thank you. I really am a much happier person. A lot has changed in the past year since I came to terms with myself. I feel more of it has been been inside than out. "The eye is the lamp of the body." Your comment reminded me of that scripture--I'm an atheist, but I find that older texts like the Bible do still have a lot of wisdom to be found in them. Ok... I know, random. lol Just came to mind. :D

Thanks everyone, I'm still a little surprised myself, I really didn't think the change had been that great until I went back through my pics.  Really glad 've been taking a photo each day.
I measured my neck and it 1 1/2" smaller than it was when I started.  That really surprised me and I think it's the single most noticeable change.
And Yay!  I love Anne Hathaway :D

I look like a giant in the before pic, the two girls are only about 5' tall.

Hey everyone  :)

Its been soooooooooooooooo long since I last posted, about a year ago now I think when I had just started transition.
My lack of confidence and other life stuff kinda took me away from here.
But I'm back! and I thought I would show where I am now.

Its been one hell of a year in every possible way, but worth every bit :)

Before (1 year ago)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1233.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff397%2FMiyasstuff%2FBeforeA_zpsc92743e1.jpg&hash=4ddff93c918296bbfab40a0399b6d1dfcea90c45)

Now (2 weeks ago)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1233.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff397%2FMiyasstuff%2FJAY-A_zps3df4bfda.jpg&hash=f864035df3a5cfa8a93baf37ef119c01aa58df6b)

This is one of the most amazing things I've seen on this website and fills me with new found hope.

edit: and I can't believe you're in your mid 30's based on the after pics, I mean in the before pic, you looked 30, but now you look several years younger!

Flandre, to my eyes there has been a lot of changes in your face. It's almost scary, that so much can happen in 25 days. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or what, but your skin definitely appears softer and more "lighter". In short, more female.

Also there has been changes around your jaw and cheeks which are more smoother and rounder now.

Amazing!

Ok, I did not think I'd be posting on here yet but I was looking through my day by day photos and was really surprised by how much change I already see.

Two Months ago.

Wow! You - and the hormones! - have done a really great job. The change is subtle, elegant and absolutely 100% effective. A really classy look.

Flandre, to my eyes there has been a lot of changes in your face. It's almost scary, that so much can happen in 25 days. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or what, but your skin definitely appears softer and more "lighter". In short, more female.

Also there has been changes around your jaw and cheeks which are more smoother and rounder now.

Amazing!

I think the lighting in the first one is kind of harsh, so that plays some part in it. My skin is definitely getting softer though, and my pores are shrinking. With all things considered, I know things are going well when my favorite picture of me is the most recent one!

The difference is just incredible. Hormones really are working wonders for you!

Wow, your NECK! It looks so much smaller. Amazing.
I've been taking measurements and I lost an inch and a half from my neck. I couldn't believe it!

Me too! Rule of thumb, don't accentuate thick neck or thick waist with necklaces and belts, it only serves to draw attention to those parts.

Hey y'all!

After a considerable absence, I've finally decided to show my face around here and update anyone who's interested :)

Please bear in mind that this is still a work in progress, so hopefully I can look back on this post in a few years and have a right good chortle!

Me on the left, 18, on a lad's holibags (I rarely sit still, so most of the shots from around that time were either 'action shots' of me being annoying or me drinking!)

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQX4EAmQ.png&hash=b7efab23be5bc527be3d53d21f7340b2bb50dcc9)]

A year or so after that trip, my discomfort with my body caused me a lot of depression, and in a way to suppress it I hit the gym and gained a lot of muscle. I became misogynistic and a "player", and hated who I was.

I would include a picture from that period of my life, but even seeing one can still cause me mixed emotions of repulsion and shame, so hopefully you'll forgive me for skipping them!

Fast forward 2 years (12 months HRT) to me last night, right before going out, ...

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Ftvz1HeV.jpg&hash=a09eb94792733617bc4cc0e2c6266e7b18b06942)

Contrary to what the pictures look like, I'm a generally cheerful person! There's still a while to go, and hopefully I'll lose the muscles around my shoulders and thighs that have been bugging me, but I no longer look at the reflection in the mirror and feel disgust or a degree of antipathy.

I'm finally happy, enjoying being 'me' and am enjoying life again, which - personally - makes it all worthwhile.

I know that the estrogen will take time to really have an effect on me, but I've also been busy getting laser hair removal and getting my eyebrows done and things. :3

This is me two weeks before starting:

Hello, everyone! I know I'm new here, so you don't know me yet, but I just wanted to say a HUGE thank-you to everyone who has shared their pictures on this topic. This very topic, and seeing the absolutely amazing changes that HRT can bring on, was one of the primary motivating factors that FINALLY gave me the courage to embrace my transsexuality after a lifetime of self-defeating thoughts where I constantly said to myself "It's not worth it, you'll never look good as a girl."

So THANK YOU everyone! This is a HUGE positive to have all of these amazing transformations. They really are helping a lot of people, like me, get the courage to go for it! I can't thank you all enough!

(And I hope to be able to post my own pictures soon, so that I too can join the lovely ladies in this forum. :D)

Yeah, this topic gave me a lot of huge source of encouragement for myself too, and even though I'm still relatively early into my transition, I'm at a stage where I'm finally comfortable with what I see in my reflection!

It really is amazing what can be achieved with determination, hard work and a desire to change.

Can't wait for your pics!

Frostice, I'm at a loss here. You're already a beautiful girl and you pass easily. I WISH I looked 1/10th as pretty as you!!! Three months HRT isn't a long time. Like it or not, (I love it!) we're going to be on estrogen for the rest of our lives.

You look like an old friend that I used to know, before she disappeared and I never heard from her again. I hope HRT does wonders for me as it did for you in three months.

All righty, so I know that I'm only one month into this (officially started HRT on January 11th,) so the differences really aren't that great yet (and I still don't really look that great in my "girl mode,") but I've just been itching to join this thread ever since I've joined this site, since it has helped me so much.

So here goes!

*takes big breath*

5 years ago: (not going to post the actual image up on this reply, since it is freaking UGLY!!! (Don't look directly into it! ACK!) But I am going to provide a link to it for those who want to see my real "pre" picture.) This is the version of me that I HATED for so long, and the version that kept me up at night so much because I hated the way I looked so much.

"Boy Mode" picture taken earlier tonight, (this is just for the purposes of being able to compare facial differences directly, since my wig COMPLETELY changes which parts of my face are accentuated.) Anyway, 1 month of hormones later, and:

And finally, girl mode! This was also taken tonight, (in the exact same clothes and the exact same location.) And yes, I know I have a LOT of work to do here, and I'd probably look a lot better if I would get my bushy eyebrows plucked and put on some makeup or actual feminine clothes, but whatever, I'm just trying to be honest here.

Cheetaking looks like you already are moving forward.
Hormons take time and there is so much more to learn about being a women.
The journey was well worth it for me and my female friends are still teaching me.  :)

From the point where you were reading a paper in class, almost to the end, you were working the andro look really good.  But you have definitely moved into feminine territory.

This thread has been absolutely inspiring! Scanning through these 66 pages has given me a lot of hope for my own transition and really helped quiet, if only for a while, so many of my fears about passing. You are all such beautiful brave women, thanks for being so open.

Here's a timeline starting from where I decided I was going to finally transition and going left to right to the bottom is tonight. I'm seeing some definite changes in my face. I havent put this together until now. I cant pinpoint where the changes happened but it seems they did!

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg18.imageshack.us%2Fimg18%2F1160%2Ftimelinecm.jpg&hash=55a47cdc741bb11f404c2ef987f35db9ac2e2e95)

Post by: Miranda Catherine on February 17, 2013, 01:49:10 AM
(//)It's wonderful to see all you beautiful girls/women now, compared to who you once were and where you came from. I can tell you this, I had never been happy in my lifelong role as a male impersonator, and I existed in abject depression, self hatred, and anger until my transition, but I can honestly say I've rarely had a bad day in my 17 months and 10 days since going full time as the woman I've always known I am. For those of you who have only been on HRT for a few months and you're less than thrilled with your changes so far, have patience and faith in yourselves and these wonder drugs. The estrogen and anti-androgens will do incredible things for you if given the chance, but you need the right drugs for you, their proper dosages, eating right and so much more. Remember, we'll be on HRT for the rest of our lives, yet so much of our changing is from the inside out, watching other women, learning to think and behave as women, and doing whatever it takes to look, feel and be more feminine. I lost 64 lbs., going from 226 on July 13th, 2011, to 162 this morning, but I still have another 12 lbs. to lose. I've also tried to learn how to wear makeup for me that accentuates my feminine features and hides my masculine ones, and I attempt to select my clothes the same way. As I said earlier, I've only been full time for seventeen months and a little more than a week, but I only 'made the decision' to transition once I came to after my third suicide attempt. I'd run completely out of options, and knew I had to try to live female, or my next attempt to end my pain was only days or weeks away, and this time it would have been successful. No more intentional overdoses, or stabbing myself 5" deep into the abdomen trying to commit ritual suicide again. For my fourth attempt I would have used my brother's 9mm pistol and it would have been 'successful'. Now I will never have the need again for suicide instruments or drugs and alcohol to dull my senses enough to survive another day. I'm also involved with a really great guy I'm in love with and I believe he loves me too, my first relationship in more than 21 years!!! I'm not bragging, because each of you can be very happy, and if you're on these pages you've taken an important step toward finding peace and happiness too. I've seen my future and it gets brighter by the day. I hope and pray yours do too!

P.S. Will somebody please, please tell me how to post some of my before and after photos on this thread? I must be mentally challenged, but I can't find the way to put attachments here!  Till then, you can see some before and after pics on photobucket, although they're not quite in chronological order:

On the image link on the page of each of your pictures, there is a link with [img] code at the start and end (5th one down if I remember correctly), copying and pasting that should do the trick.  :)

And you're looking good! I'm glad that you've finally found happiness in your true self!

"Wow Miranda, I am impressed!" Shantel

Thank you Bexi and Shantel, that is sooo nice to hear! I try not to look back too much, but unfortunately, I wasted 33 years between my first beginnings at transition in 1977-78, and finally transitioning in September 2011, at 57 years old. I don't want any of the younger girls here to make the same terrible mistakes I did. Gender dysphoria never goes away, it only gets worse! I was barely 23 when I first began electrolysis and going out in public to gauge my chances at being successful in transition. I was very successful, but I was also afraid to hurt my family, so I became a heroin addict instead, lol! I really saved the family name and my parents grief by becoming a junkie instead of transitioning! Why do you think they call it dope?!?! Once again, Bexi and Shantel, thank you very, very much! Hugs, Miranda

This is what we all need to hear about putting it off, unfortunately I did the same as you for similar reasons although never finished transition and will turn 70 in August.  :'( 
But there you are now, clean, sober and beautiful. Congratulations!

Thank you, Jilleann and Bexi. I went down to the other computer, went to the img code, clicked it and it copied right away. Then I pasted them. Shantel, I'm so very, very sorry about your late transition, but you didn't have the opportunities that even girls my age had. And the differences for teens to 30 somethings is simply amazing to me. Still, better late than never, girl. I'm proud of you for the decision you've made and the lifestyle you've chosen. Hugs, Mira

Thank you, Jillean for the wonderful compliments! Most girls/women love to hear compliments and I'm far from an exception. That said, the main reason I put these photos up is to use some of the photos of my life as a cautionary tale, but unfortunately, very true story about wasted decades, and that nobody has to take the self destructive road I took for sooo long. Other than my nine month stint living happily as a female in prison, it took me 57 years to find peace, joy and true happiness. Anyone reading this who hasn't made up your mind to follow your heart and dreams, please don't wait another day, your gender dysphoria will only get worse until it crushes the life right out of you.

All righty, so I know that I'm only one month into this (officially started HRT on January 11th,) so the differences really aren't that great yet (and I still don't really look that great in my "girl mode,") but I've just been itching to join this thread ever since I've joined this site, since it has helped me so much.

So here goes!

*takes big breath*

5 years ago: (not going to post the actual image up on this reply, since it is freaking UGLY!!! (Don't look directly into it! ACK!) But I am going to provide a link to it for those who want to see my real "pre" picture.) This is the version of me that I HATED for so long, and the version that kept me up at night so much because I hated the way I looked so much.
http://oi50.tinypic.com/2dqqzo0.jpg (http://oi50.tinypic.com/2dqqzo0.jpg)


And now on to the pictures that I'm not completely embarrassed about.

Official pre-hormone picture, taken almost exactly 1 month ago:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi45.tinypic.com%2F154f0g7.jpg&hash=eb10daa5a79386b2c694404e4f42454035e20414)

"Boy Mode" picture taken earlier tonight, (this is just for the purposes of being able to compare facial differences directly, since my wig COMPLETELY changes which parts of my face are accentuated.) Anyway, 1 month of hormones later, and:

And finally, girl mode! This was also taken tonight, (in the exact same clothes and the exact same location.) And yes, I know I have a LOT of work to do here, and I'd probably look a lot better if I would get my bushy eyebrows plucked and put on some makeup or actual feminine clothes, but whatever, I'm just trying to be honest here.

I have a hunch HRT is gonna treat you wonderfully. ;)

Hi Heather and thank you sooo much! You're very sweet. I was fortunate enough to grow up with too much estrogen and too little testosterone, hence, no Adam's Apple, or other typical male facial characteristics, but I have ancient needle track scars on both arms, and 13 knee surgeries from working as a drywaller and carpenter, a job I had no business doing with my thin body type, but I was always trying to be a man. The injuries were how I found out about opiates, culminating in being a junkie for 13 years, two prison terms and 3 yrs, 10 mo. and 6 days of being deemed unworthy of living in society. In 2001 I jumped off a 70' bridge on the Columbia River to prove my virility to myself and one of my best friend's two kids, but I ended up landing just a little wrong on the water, which is like concrete at that height if you hit wrong, crushing two vertebrae and breaking seven ribs. Worse than just being stuck on stupid, I was stuck on crazy too!

It's really nice to get some encouragement - I really hope HRT and laser does some more miracles on me.

Miranda you look amazing! You look like a completely different person in the other pics than the second one.

I have the same feeling, HRT will do you very well, girl. Don't be angry with me, but losing a few lbs. will do you wonders too. And if I've lost 62 lbs, and Jillieann 85 at our ages, a pretty young woman like you can lose weight much faster and easier than us, and the results will be spectacular! You're also right about your hair accentuating your feminine features. When you decide to do your eyebrows, you should go to a makeup artist, because they can make a woman eyes pop or make her look like a clown. And what's you name, young lady? It isn't cheetaking, is it? Anyway, you can do everything you put your mind to when you want and need to, and transitioning will be one of, if not the most wonderful thing that any of us will ever do.

Thank you both for your very kind words. (This week, I've been feeling REALLY negative about my female appearance, and really impatient about when the HRT changes are going to get substantial enough for me to actually feel comfortable going out as a girl in the "real world," so it REALLY does help.)

Miranda, you'll be happy to know that I am indeed dieting like an absolute fiend right now, rigorously sticking to the same "paleo" diet that helped my roommate drop 70 lbs from her body over the course of a 1-year period. In my first picture of the four that I posted, I was at my absolute maximum weight, 286 lbs. In my official "pre" picture which was taken just over 5 weeks ago, I was at around 262 lbs. And as of this morning I am down to 249 lbs, which is within three pounds of the lightest that I have ever been in my adult life. So this really is going to be a COMPLETE transformation for me, hopefully from an overweight miserable guy to a knockout girl. (I can dream, can't I? :P)

And my name is Carrie. I just use the name "cheetaking243" as a screen name because it was the same name that I've been using on the Eunuch Archive for years, WAY before I officially admitted my transsexualism and embraced my female identity, and it was with this exact username and avatar on the EA that I finally did discover who I truly was, so that name has become very personal to me over the years, and I just wouldn't feel like myself anymore if I changed it, even though it technically sounds like a male name with the whole "king" thing. ("Cheetaking" was the name of a Pokemon that I invented in 7th grade, so I've been using that username FOREVER on just about everything. And the "243" is added because when I signed up for my very first e-mail account under the female name "Carrie" when I was like 14 years old, it was "meowmeow243." So that's why I use the name "cheetaking243." Yeah, it's dumb, but it really is a part of me. :P) Seriously, though, my name is Carrie. So just call me that. ;) (maybe I should start signing the bottoms of my posts or something so that people know.)

Carrie just be patient you will look great, it just takes time and when you look at yourself every day it is hard to see it. You'll start seeing glimpses soon... you'll catch yourself in the mirror a certain way and start to see a girl looking back. As time goes by you'll see that girl more often and more clearly.

Stephanie, looking good in the bottom photo. Get plugged into your local VA hospital, they handle HRT and endocrine expenses for me and several other MtF veterans that post here. Be sure and tell them during your initial screening that you are TS the rest will happen.

Carrie,
A diet only helped me while I was on it. As soon as my will power faultered I gained back what I lost. :(

For weight lost that will not come back you need to change your eating habits.
Because of changing my diet not only did I lose 85lbs but have not gained any in the last couple of months. :)

Hugs,
Jillieann

Stephanie, you have a great start - your face has already feminized from your first pictures.  Plus, you are thin and have suggestions of feminine shape already. 

I would second the other post here about the VA.  Here's a person who knows ALL about the ins and outs of dealing with transition using the VA for meds and so on.

I'm sure she would be glad to advise you....

Keep posting, girl, and good luck to you!

Stephanie, you don't look old enough to be in the military! The bottom photo looks very different and very cute/pretty. You're already getting feminine shape and at your young age the HRT is doing fantastic and will continue to make you a beautiful young woman. Staci, the change in you is profound too. I love to see how much happier everyone looks after they've walked away from the illusion of being male and toward their true gender. I wish we could let everyone know what not nearly enough people in the world understand. It's far easier emotionally and satisfying spiritually doing HRT and Gender Reassignment Surgery to become the finished product of who we are as women, than waste another day trying to be someone we're not and will never be, men! I know it's hard to have patience, but the wait will be worth it for every single one of you who are reading and posting in this thread.

Carolina, you are a pilot? That's awesome! We need more female pilots and judging by your after photos, you're 100 percent female. You really look great. I know it's hard to stop and really see yourself externally as others do, but I just think you're a little hard on yourself sometimes. I know I'm new here, but I'm completely obsessed with this site and literally haven't left for days other then to sleep and work, so I've read tons of posts. Either way, you're beautiful. And  if I passed you on the streets, I would never ever think twice. If i didn't think this, I wouldn't say it. I'm not a fan of false hope. Great progress, girl!

Thank you so much for your comments... OMG these tears... Holy wow how easily they come now!

I have been working really hard to do what I can, and reading these comments is the by far the best validation coming from you all.

I did lose quite a bit of weight the first month and a half on HRT, almost 20lbs. Male body, meet a low sugar diet and estrogen!! Take THAT! Lol... Good riddance, excess male fat and muscle. I'm trying to maintain my weight with healthy fats like avocados, nuts, coconut oil, and of course my biggest vice: veganaise. I've gained back 3-5 lbs and I'd like it to stay!

Thanks Dee! I'm glad you like my hair, I've been learning a lot on how to properly care for it and style it in a way that suits me and I think I want to keep growing it out for a while. Maybe another 4" or so... When sutures come out on Monday and I get back to LA I'm going to get a little trim to add some more layers.

Girls, thanks so much for these kind words, y'all have already made my day. I cannot wait to fool around in the castro today. I'm going to wear my favorite pair of heels :D :D

Jennygirl, you look fantastic! I'd say you've earned a good strut down the street in nice heels. How was the trach shave? Was there a lot of discomfort in the first couple days?

Words cannot describe how I feel right now

Thank you SO MUCH omg... Thank you! Here come the tears again... Lol!!

There was minimal discomfort after the trach shave. I had the operation early Wednesday morning and pretty much just passed out for the rest of the day on Percocet & Valium. Thursday I had some minimal bruising lower on the neck, just slightly yellow skin with a red ring around it. When I asked if there were any herbals I could supplement with, Mira (Dr O's assistant) suggested Arnica & Bromelain to help with the bruising/swelling. I think they have been helping- possibly a lot? Yesterday I had a pretty big yawn and felt a slight bit of soreness around the remaining cartilage but today I am happy to report no bruising and it is barely even sore to the touch. The incision is still a bit raised but I think it's from the stitches still being in- they come out on Monday! Yay! Because of where he made the incision though (underneath the chin) it's already almost invisible under normal viewing unless I look up to reveal the frankenstein neck ;)

Ok y'all have made me so happy I've decided to celebrate and go get my ears pierced with one of my girlfriends. I'm nervous but very excited! It's a big step for me, I've never had any piercings. I checked with Mira to make sure it would be ok seeing that I just had surgery and she said "go for it!"

Thank you again for all of the amazing responses. Heels GO! :D

Gah! So jealous! You're going to have a great afternoon! I can't wait to get my ears pierced but am saving it for a treat for myself for after I come out to my parents. That's something I'm going to need a reward after.

Today, as I normally present (one year on HRT):

To my critical eye, I haven't changed a whole lot, face-wise. Maybe gotten heavier...my chest is an "A" cup (or just a bit bigger...let's call it an "A+" cup  ;) ).  Most body hair is gone (no one sees that unless they're in bed with me LOL), a lot softer skin. I smile more often, and more sincerely now. I like to think I'm more personable, as well.

@Beth,

I am seeing some positive gradual facial change and your hair is growing out nice waves and curl. Sometimes growth has different pace compared to others. As the saying goes, slow wins the race. Patience. You are looking mighty fine lady.

Hugs

I'd like to thank everybody's whose posted in this thread. I'm still very new to this. I just realized I was trans about a month ago, and every time I look in the mirror I think that there's no way I'm ever going to be able to pass as a woman. However, I'm seeing a lot of people who started off looking far more masculine than I am, and becoming very passable and natural looking, and it gives me hope.

Caroline, it's funny, but sad sometimes when a pretty girl like you sees no progress when we see progress in leaps and bounds. I don't see you as a woman fishing for compliments, but I think you started flying from a good base (pun intended!) in that you weren't exactly a masculine looking male, and I see some huge changes in you. You look like a pretty woman, Caroline, stop thinking (and worrying) so much, you pass. Keaira, I see big changes in you too. In fact, I see changes in every single one of us. I think we all need to lighten up a bit on ourselves. It's one thing to try your hardest to look your best, but another thing altogether to find every flaw in yourself, real and imagined. I took about three to four months to start losing the image of that ugly, fat, pathetic, and suicidally depressed male impersonator I saw in every mirror and begin to see the woman I was becoming and am right now and will still be becoming years later. I think the biggest change in me besides losing 64 lbs., (29.1 kilos for you metric girls, lol) is hmmmm? So many things are completely different about me from HRT and living full time I can't even begin to put any level of importance to more than a few, but I know this, I'm really glad that I was given the opportunity to transition to full time only six weeks after I began HRT, because it forced me to watch, listen to and emulate those women I thought were pretty, classy, and/or carried themselves with confidence even if they were overweight or older. It made me see that how a woman looks is but a fraction, albeit a large one, of who we're becoming and strive to be. Also, I've learned that cis women come in all shapes, sizes and behaviors, and for any girl in this particular thread who feels she doesn't pass and never will, go to a mall, sit down to coffee or tea and watch the women who are in there. I wouldn't think of dressing like lots of the women in there, but they don't have the feeling they absolutely have to look like women because they were born female. I also realized early on that being a woman is sooo very different and better than I ever imagined. Living full time forced me to 'grow up' and into being female at all times, because it's who I am now, and this is the life I've happily embraced. But for instance, to go out in public without makeup is something I would never do now, even though I have few worries about passing even without makeup. I don't want to take even one day for granted, because it took sooo very, very long for me to get to the point of living full time that it would be like slapping God in the face after He allowed me to live through three very serious suicide attempts, several heroin overdoses, and at least four other near death experiences. I lived through these things because I was meant to, not from happenstance or just blind luck. I have become on the outside what I always was on the inside, a dyed in the wool. flesh and blood female. The thing I never counted on was being this happy and at peace with myself, God, and the world in which I now live instead of taking up space. I'm sorry for my long winded thoughts, but I crushed, stuffed and bottled up who I really am, along with my needs, prayers, hopes, dreams, pain, hurts and depression for over forty years, telling only my family, my closest friends and a few women I was involved with about who I am, who I wanted to be with and why I was so unhappy. I have a hard time once in awhile even now reconciling my former existence with my present happiness and if I deserve to be here. And the answer is YES! Hugs, Mira

I wouldn't think of dressing like lots of the women in there, but they don't have the feeling they absolutely have to look like women because they were born female. I also realized early on that being a woman is sooo very different and better than I ever imagined. Living full time forced me to 'grow up' and into being female at all times, because it's who I am now, and this is the life I've happily embraced. But for instance, to go out in public without makeup is something I would never do now, even though I have few worries about passing even without makeup. I don't want to take even one day for granted, because it took sooo very, very long for me to get to the point of living full time that it would be like slapping God in the face after He allowed me to live through three very serious suicide attempts, several heroin overdoses, and at least four other near death experiences. I lived through these things because I was meant to, not from happenstance or just blind luck. I have become on the outside what I always was on the inside, a dyed in the wool. flesh and blood female. The thing I never counted on was being this happy and at peace with myself, God, and the world in which I now live instead of taking up space. I'm sorry for my long winded thoughts, but I crushed, stuffed and bottled up who I really am, along with my needs, prayers, hopes, dreams, pain, hurts and depression for over forty years, telling only my family, my closest friends and a few women I was involved with about who I am, who I wanted to be with and why I was so unhappy. I have a hard time once in awhile even now reconciling my former existence with my present happiness and if I deserve to be here. And the answer is YES! Hugs, Mira

Looking great Colleen.
Lucky girl you have made it all the way.
Hopefully you are mending well.
The posting I made a few pages back is still before and during.
On the bright side my psychologist is working on the letter.
But then I got to save up the money for surgery.
I'm ahead of you in one respect I have been on HRT for 3 years and 2 months now. ;)

Looking good!  I am about to start HRT and my hairline is like your before picture. Looks like you had nice hairline growth from HRT or did you do something else to get your hair to come back?

Minoxidil and finasteride. And I think it's working better post-surgery.

Congratulations, Colleen!!! You look sooo happy, pretty and fulfilled. I can't speak or anyone else, hun, but you're where I want to be so much! I have to ask you, even though they may be even though they may be too personal and private for you to answer and TMI for some women. But how hard is it to do the actual maintenance of keeping things open in the very beginning and making it functional as you heal? How esthetically real and right does it appear and are you satisfied with your results. Believe it or not, my mom has been intimating that she might pay for my surgery. She's 85 and will leave everything to my brother and me, and since she finally has the daughter she so desperately wanted, she wants me to complete my transition before she dies or has another, even more serious stroke, which frightens me terribly. Anyway, I'm so very happy for you, and again, congratulations!

Post by: Colleen Ireland on March 05, 2013, 05:13:18 PM
Thanks, Miranda!  And don't worry, for me there's no such thing as TMI, I **provide** TMI, lol.

As for dilation, I have to say I never found it difficult or painful.  For one thing, when they take the stent out, it's a LOT bigger and wider than the puny little dilators you start with, and the vagina is not all that quick to tighten up.  At least in my case.  Number 1 and 2 were never a problem.  I had some trepidations when I moved up to #3, but seriously, no issue.  Even #4 was no problem.  Now I use #2, #3 and #4, and #2 is the only one that's slightly uncomfortable at first (a little pain, nothing really).  The important thing is to FOLLOW their instructions EXACTLY.  One issue I had in the first few weeks was a constant foul discharge.  It was so constant, it kept the perineum from healing properly.  I was eventually put on Flagyl, and the problem finally went away, and everything healed up nicely.

Okay, now for aesthetics...  I will say that up until recently, I was somewhat self-conscious about it.  I didn't feel it looked entirely natural, because it seems like I have no inner labia, and I have not yet been able to locate my clit.  Well, I recently participated in a cool little project where hundreds of women of all types and sizes posted pictures of their pussies, and lo and behold, there were LOTS of cis-pussies that didn't look all that different from mine!  Wow, was I ever happy and relieved!  My boyfriend also reports that it seems very natural to him, even in terms of aroma and flavor.  And as for function, it is self-lubricating, and I have sensation inside, and I can tighten it with my muscles (I confirmed this for myself the other night, when I had a finger in). 

:D

The only thing is... no orgasm yet.  Soon, I'm sure...  :-\

Thank you, Colleen! Your candid honesty is exactly what I was hoping for. I've read that lots of post SRS women kind of awaken the clitoris with vibrators and masturbation. I've also read that most post SRS transwomen eventually end up having orgasms just like cis-women, including multiples, even without toys. I'm in a relationship with a very good man, and he wants me to have the surgery, not that his opinion would change my needs or desires if he wanted me to stay the way I am. I want (and need) it so much regardless of anyone else's opinion, but since my mom is very prim and proper and knows we make love, I'm also sure that with the body I'm in now she wants me to have the 'proper' plumbing. Hence, the idea of giving me the money for the surgery. She's 85 and I don't think she and my dad ever french kissed, let alone any of the other wonderful erotic things men and women can do for ever closer feelings toward each other and just plain fun. I'm still dumbfounded my brother and I were ever conceived!!! They were married for 42 years though, and it seems they were really happy. I was the biggest disappointment in either of their lives, especially hers, till the first day I went full time.

That's kind of funny Miranda, my eldest son now in his mid forties told me and my wife that he had a hard time wrapping his head around the idea that we had ever engaged in any kind of sexual behavior. I had to pop his bubble and inform him that he wasn't brought by the stork after all. My wife and I had to chuckle over that because we're going through some late life thrills and gymnastics catching up on all the lost time during which we never had any privacy while raising kids. I know for certain we enjoy more sexual intimacy than he and his spouse do right now because history repeats itself in each generation and they are where we had been at their age.

Since this is the before and after thread, I decided to share something I wrote several years ago. I'm a singer/songwriter (like everyone else in Southern California!) and wrote this song in 2007. I've had several very real opportunities to 'make it' in music, once in a band and three times as a staff songwriter, but blew every single one, either consciously or subconsciously, all because I'm transsexual. This song is about being a transwoman and feeling at the time that I'd waited too long and that my window of opportunity had long since passed. Believe it or not, I was sometimes a pretty good looking woman until 2000, when I had a knee replacement that went horribly wrong and I almost died from blood clots in my lungs, then almost lost my leg when I got MRSA in the filthy hospital the butchers disfigured me in. Within eight months or less I went from 155 to 248. I was stuck at 226 for years until I finally transitioned. That's also when I stopped drinking and started dieting for real, since I can't really do much because of my back and knee. I'm at 162 right now and will get to 147-150 before Summer. I think it really is a good song, (why wouldn't I, I wrote it, lol!) so please listen and tell me what you think. It was definitely a 'before' song. I'm singing it in a male tenor voice, as I was in typical male impersonator mode. I hope you like it. Here's the link: http://youtu.be/ZKHmd-lTnzA (http://youtu.be/ZKHmd-lTnzA)


"REFUGEE"

I am just a refugee
adrift in a wooden boat
yes, I am just a refugee
on a blazing sea I float

I am just a refugee
adrift and bailing fire
yes, I am just a refugee
condemned as a thief and liar

a stillborn soul in a uterine tomb
my spirit burned while still in her womb
and it was lonely

my stupid prayers depend upon
a skiff in a sea of flame
with sails and rudder in ashes
I'm sinking and I'm to blame

I am just a refugee
lost in a flaming swell
yes I am just a refugee
in the firestorm of Hell

I am just a refugee
in fire breathing gales
yes I am just a refugee
without an oar or sails

a stillborn soul in a uterine tomb
my spirit burned while still in her womb
and it is lonely
yeah, a stillborn soul in a uterine tomb
my spirit burned while still in her womb
and it is lonely

P.S. I'm on guitars, bass, vocals and harmony, other than the "I am" which is my late close friend and sometime songwriting partner Todd Tabor, one of the best guitarists and people I've ever known, who died in my arms on February 3rd, 2011. It was probably the worst single experience of my life. I never told him who I really am, but I like to think we'd still be close friends. He left a wife and two young sons. I loved him like a younger brother and still miss him a lot.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Carrie. I was 41 in the first photo, 56 in the second and the last one was taken last week at 58. And yes, anything with "christojihad2" on it is one of my songs. There are 27 uploaded on youtube I wrote and performed. All of the ones where I was playing live where you can see me playing I was almost certainly drunk and weighed between 225-230. I keep talking about my former weight because I was always thin and wirey like the first photo until my knee replacement and getting the MRSA staph infection in March 2000. It was such a virulent infection they nearly amputated my leg because of it. I went through four more terrible surgeries where they had to physically dig the infection out of my knee and I was in the hospital for 25 more days. My depression over it and the fact that it never healed right was complicated by unbelievable pain and my inability to play sports anymore, my only defense against my transsexuality. I'd always thought I'd eventually transition, but after the surgeries and weight gain I thought it was too late at 45 to transition caused me to attempt suicide three different times, the last one on July 12th, 2011. God, how wrong I was! 45 is young, and so is 58 in a way. I'm finally, finally becoming who I've always been inside. Carrie, please listen to any of my songs on youtube if you like "Refugee". Listen to "The Devil Rides (in a limousine)", "Ice Cream Headache", "If You Really Love Me", "For My Sin", "It's Endless", "Don't Let It (get you down)", "Politicians", "Man Against Man" and "Food Riot". I'm not necessarily unhappy with any of the other songs I have on youtube, but seven or eight are just me singing and on acoustic guitar, no bass, drums, harmonies, lead guitar, harmonies or anything. I was writing a lot of music at the time and was often writing so much I put them on tape just so I wouldn't forget them. I was living a total lie and I knew it, so I wrote some of my songs in stealth, and never didn't know who I am, ever. Anyway, Carrie, thank you for your wonderful compliments on my new looks and "Refugee." Hugs, Mira

I love acoustic guitar songs, though. Singer-songwriter is like my favorite genre, because the emotion is so raw and pure in the combination of the voice and simple guitar chords. I love those songs because you can really hear the passion and the emotion in the lyrics and the choices of chords that you use. I was especially thinking of "Give Me Salvation" and "One-Eighty" when I was mentioning the other songs on the channel that I liked. Because again, I could REALLY feel the passion and the emotion that went into them, and they both really had something important to say. Yes, they're rough and kind of in a raw, natural, unrefined state, but I still really like the songwriting. I really feel what you're singing.

*Repost from my other thread*

My face has definitely changed. I looked back an old photo of me and compared.

This is me about 9 months ago right before coming out

This is me 5 seconds ago  ;D

ah the miracles of hormones

The difference in your face is incredible. It is inspiring.

I noticed that your nasolabial folds have almost completely disappeared. Do you think it's from the hormones or have you discovered a way to reduce the appearance with makeup? I hope mine disappear!

Probably doesn't help me with all the smiling I do these days.. Maybe I should try to give it a rest... Nahhhhh ;) Ooh and just noticed, 3 month anniversary on hormones... Here comes more smiling! Nooo!! My smile lines... I can feel them getting deeper!!! j/k

Gratz on three months!

It must be from the hormones because I'm not wearing any makeup in that picture.

P.S. I'm on guitars, bass, vocals and harmony, other than the "I am" which is my late close friend and sometime songwriting partner Todd Tabor, one of the best guitarists and people I've ever known, who died in my arms on February 3rd, 2011. It was probably the worst single experience of my life. I never told him who I really am, but I like to think we'd still be close friends. He left a wife and two young sons. I loved him like a younger brother and still miss him a lot.

Miranda,
        I needn't repeat all of your story and photos again, but I do so admire you for what you have been through and survived so beautifully, you have a sweet spirit and great heart. Consider me a member of your fan club lady!

Well I had super bad acne my first few months on HRT, especially on my back and shoulder area. It definitely cleared up a lot now but still flares up from time to time. HRT has made it really glowy and soft though and I've also been taking Biotin 5000mg every day. Don't know if that's been helping too.

Really? I had super bad acne from my first puberty up until I started HRT. Then it all went away.

Thanks again, Carrie. I'm really glad you like the acoustic songs. I've since thought about my reluctance in recommending or even showing the acoustic songs, and it all comes down to everybody seeing me as I was before transitioning. I looked awful and that was only a peek into how I felt mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I loathed myself and seriously considered killing myself every single day, unless I was writing words or music. They're the only positive things I have to show that I've ever been on this planet. Truthfully, I can't even watch them and felt that way even when I put them on youtube. I think the songs are really good, but I'm not a good guitar player. I love great acoustic based songs too, and really wish I could play like that, but I'm very lefthanded, and unfortunately, learned to play right handed guitar and it's made a big difference in my playing. If you wanna hear a really heavy song that's just me on acoustic, listen to "Because I Am (a killer)". It's about getting a high school girl pregnant when I was in college, then a girl I lived with pregnant twice and though I never say it in the song, she refused to have either child because she knew I'd eventually transition and didn't feel she could count on me to be there for her or the kids. She was right. Enough of my soap opera! I do think though, that the lyrics to "One Eighty" are one of the two or three best lyrics I've ever written. I really appreciate the compliments, Carrie! Hugs, Mira

Thank you sooo much Shantel, I've vowed to not just survive anymore, I wanted to actually enjoy life and cherish it, and now I do! I say it too much, but I love being a woman, especially because I never thought before I transitioned that I'd ever be at peace no matter what I did. Someone on these threads says it doesn't take courage to transition, it just comes to the point that you can't live another day as a male (impersonator), or something like that. That's where I was the day I took my first progynon shot. I was simply hoping against hopelessness that I'd be able to breathe without dreading the next breath and stop living the lifetime lie I'd been burdened with and constantly saddled myself with even more pain than necessary. I watched a few seconds of one of my acoustic songs on youtube a few months ago and was astonished by what I saw. That person is long gone, and although I recognize the voice and melody lines, the person in the video just made me sad, so I turned it off. But if anyone wants to hear any of my songs, they're in two playlists, one with 11 songs and the other with 14. The two tell a story about one person's life, then what happens to America and the world. It's pretty wild stuff and part 2 is apocalyptic.
Jedem Das Seine, 11 songs.   http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8536C07C3878EA67 (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8536C07C3878EA67)

Hi's :)
I noticed today much to my pleasant surprise my face is actually still changing! I actually saw a woman staring back at me in the mirror.
So to mark this momentous occasion and 15 months on HRT I thought I would post another Before and After. (Gah, thought it was 14 months, darn ticker)
I took these this afternoon, well the 2 on the right ;)

Anyone having doubts about HRT and its effectiveness, perhaps this will help somewhat.

You are extremely talented Miranda, no doubt about it, and I used present tense although you have put the past behind you just as I  and so many others have, and rightly so! It seems like another lifetime doesn't it? At least that's the way I see my past life. I listened to some of the songs and the lyrics in which, knowing you now as we are able here at Susan's, we can get the feeling that there was something ethereal missing from your life back then. Glad you made it sweetie, I'm happy for you!

Wow, Jay-Bird, wow! You went from looking like some of the guys I did time with in prison, to a gorgeous woman in fifteen months, obviously a lifetime ago for you. You look fantastic, girl. You have much more changing ahead of you, but if you never had another change, you're already a very pretty woman! Congratulations! By the way, my ticker's off too, by one day, because today is my 18 month anniversary living full time. It has gone by so very, very fast and I wish I'd have appreciated it even more.

Thank you, Shantel, so very much for listening to my songs and adding the present tense in 'talented.' I've thought a lot about really getting back into writing again, although I have never really stopped. I'm now writing as Miranda, but haven't been thinking much about something I know I should. I've got some really catchy melodies with incredibly depressing male lyrics. I have more than 1000 lyrics and 150 songs. Most of these songs are just sitting around on cassettes and CD's and lyrics w/chord changes, languishing in one notebook or another. I've been thinking about revamping many of the lyrics or starting them over from scratch from both a woman's point of view, and from a positive vantage. Shantel, It's such a trip to say it to myself, "you made it", but to hear it from you or someone else who knows who I really am and where I came from makes it even cooler! Unfortunately, without your own belief that you're a woman, passing, and unique, you can be the most beautiful woman alive, prettier than any cis-woman, and you'll still be unhappy. I know an absolutely beautiful transwoman in that category, and no matter what I tell her she can't get past the fact that she apparently needed to have FFS to make her so gorgeous. She still sees a man when she looks in the mirror. It's made me cry to see her so unhappy still, so I keep telling her how beautiful she is and pray for her sometimes. But the fact is that we're all wondrous, incredible women who know more about the human spirit and both sexes far more than any doctor, psychologist or anyone else who's only seen and felt what we've been able to tell them about our lives and our unique vantage points. It's kind of like trying to tell a drug counselor who's never had a drug problem what it's like to kick heroin, it's impossible. Hugs to everyone, Mira

I used to look at these threads exactly the same way, there was a time when I thought I would never post "after" pics of myself.
Its only been in the last few months I have felt confident enough to do so.

Hell, I can't even post 'before' pictures of myself. As a man, I was never handsome. As a woman I'll never be pretty, but I can cope with that as long as I'm able to pass, but I've got a lot of work to do before that even becomes a remote possibility, and I'll be lucky to have the money to pay even for LHR.

Hey thanks Tiffany :)
It is kinda my hope that my "before & afters" give a positive push for people considering transition or who are in the early stages and are afraid how effective HRT will be for them. These kind of things really helped me to push through in the early stages, just seeing the amazing changes people had gone through and where they are now can make such a difference. It just takes time, longer for some but its nothing short of breathtaking :)

Oh' and I never beat anyone up, I just looked scary, it was my final battle and my last stand as an Uber Man - yuk.
I was always told my personality was so different from the way I looked, go figure :)
At some stage I will put up a full body before and after, that will surely make some eyes pop.

Jay-Bird every time I see your before and after it just amazes me. You must be so happy now. I just hope I can pull off a stunning transformation like you have. :)

Miranda is very right on this, its only been 2 months and I can really already see the fem features if your face starting to appear.
Trust me 2 months is hella early days, so you are doing awesome!
You just gotta give it time, took me 15 months to get to this point, tis a long time but very worth it and yes I am very happy :)

Hey and we are pretty much the same age, I'll be 35 in a few months (gawd). I always thought things wouldn't work very well because of my late start but I was er somewhat wrong ;) so you will be just fine I am sure of it!

Heather, I agree with you on Jay-Bird's amazing transition, but you're already on your way too, sweetie. And I totally disagree with your "trying to look adorable and failing miserably." You look great and you haven't even been on hormones for three months yet. Ease up, girl! You're coming along great! Hugs, hun. Mira
Thank you Miranda! I've been meaning to change the looking adorable failing miserably thing. I was having a low self esteem day when I came up with that. I've actually gone to change it several times and ended up not liking what I was replacing it with.

I've had a few VWs over the years  8)  A friend and I would buy wrecked bugs and make 'Calibugs' out of them  ;D  He was a bodyworker/ painter and I was a bit of a motorhead then and had a thing for hopping up the engines, not sure if all of our fine creations were actually street legal  ::)

I'm sure they weren't.  The last VW motor I built was for a sandrail.  About 275 hp. Big turbo.  That's fun.

One night I was coming back home from hanging out with my girlfriends while driving another quick bug I had (it could chirp the tires hard in 3rd), and this guy driving a mustang wanted my number.  I told him, that if he could catch me, I'd give it to him...

He didn't get my number.

To my critical eye, I haven't changed a whole lot, face-wise. Maybe gotten heavier...my chest is an "A" cup (or just a bit bigger...let's call it an "A+" cup  ;) ).  Most body hair is gone (no one sees that unless they're in bed with me LOL), a lot softer skin. I smile more often, and more sincerely now. I like to think I'm more personable, as well.

Amazing what a good haircut will do...I like this a LOT better:

It has been a while since I was an active participant here, but life has just been too much damned fun to stay inside. :)

It may be high time for me to share some before and now [after?] pictures.

Back in August 2008, about 6-8 months before coming out. I ended up putting on another 30 pounds after this picture was taken. I topped out at 245 pounds. [by the way, this was one of my happiest days up to that day]

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.treewalker-designs.com%2Fworkfiles%2Fdeannaaug08.jpg&hash=ee22a5bba1bc43416c39ceacd94f71a70cf3f846)

Fast forward to September 2010. This was still early in my transition, at the Southern Comfort Conference (SCC) in Atlanta, GA. I had only just begun taking Spironolactone about a month or two before that. I was still nearly a year and a half away from starting estrogen.

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.treewalker-designs.com%2Fworkfiles%2Fdeanna91210.JPG&hash=f2c23ca0ea61f255570c61328ae0aff055d18518)

And now! This was taken March 15, 2013. Over 2.5 years spiro, and over 1.5 years estradiol. I've lost over 100 pounds from before transition. I have been full time for a year and a half. While I'm not stealth, I do live completely accepted as a woman. And a very, very happy one to boot.

Deanna, you're transition is remarkable; maybe it's just me but I can see the difference in just your eyes. They seem to shout how much happier you are then in the first photo! And bravo on the weight loss, you look great. I'll have to ask you how you managed it sometime since I'm going to aim on getting down to 145 from my current 220 while I transition.

Vanessa, I may not be the one to ask for diet advice. All I did was eat a bit less, eat a little better, exercise a little more, stress a LOT less, and start transitioning. I did not have to work at it at all really. I'm fortunate, I know. I was always skinny before my 40's. Now that I'm in my 50's I'm revisiting and staying in the skinnys. Now hovering right around 140.

Deanna

Oh, and thank you so much for the compliment. I am infinitely happier than I had ever thought possible in the before years.

Deanna,
       That's a remarkable transition and it show's what's possible for those who have a can-do positive attitude and want to be a great looking woman more than anything else on earth. Good job and thanks so much for sharing!

Ok why not. I haven't been in transition as long as some others but I'll share anyway:

Me taken around March 2012:

and this one was taken this morning:

but I'm sure in 6 months from now I'll look different from now so I'm still a work in progress :)

Hi Keaira, thank you.  :)

I also feel too muscular still, I think a lot of us will always fight those feelings.

I don't do any upper body workouts any longer, not even high repetitions. I did high reps to get so big back in the 1980's. I was taking anabolic steroids back then, it's a huge regret I have now, but it is what it is. The number one thing that helped (besides stopping the steroids) was eating very low calories, muscle mass will definitely decline if the calories aren't consumed.

I'm considering a more vegetarian diet, I'm concerned about not having enough variety with that diet. I'm still working on reducing muscle. I have to be very careful, if I increase calories just a bit, the bulk tends to start coming back fairly quick.

OMG Kim, anabolics are kind of scary. I remember Lyle Alzado a NFL defensive end, he was huge, the steroids gave him his moment in the sun but he eventually wasted away as an unwanted side effect. Glad you got off them dear friend, you're looking good now lady! I found that I can lose weight keeping meat, fish and chicken intake to 5 oz., fresh veggies and fruit and water about 1100 calories a day and light exercise. Better to graze like five small meals rather than two or three stuffing sessions. Early man never had weight problems because they were hunter/gatherers and grazed as they moved from one place to another.

Wow Di you look simply amazing! I hope I can change that much and look as pretty. BTW, and I hope you don't mind me asking, but the tip of your nose looks so much more delicate. Did you get cosmetic work on it or did the hormones change the tip? I ask because my nose used to be a lot more delicate and then around 20 the tip increased in size, mainly fat and thick skin. I love love love your blog too.

Anyway, the important thing is going to the gym every other day, keeping your halterofilic exercises on series of 3 for each one, each series from 6 to 9 repetitions, maximum weight. And the usual eat-healthy-every-three-hours shebang.

Splendid! :) And what exactly is halterofilic exercise? :) I tried to google this, but failed. And I was exactly going to ask if the loss of Your muscle mass was because of those exercises? Your "male" build was above average and in some parts it resembles my, thought I am smaller, so I would very much like to know how to get rid of the shoulder muscles and trapezoids. You did got Your trachea shaved too, did not You? Or it is not very prominent on You.

It´s muscular exercise focusing on the growth or rippling of muscles, in opposition to work outs that focus on weight loss or cardiac capacity increase.

In order to lose the upper body mass, I´d say it´s important, on the few first months to starve yourself. Not in the sense of actually drooling to death, but eating little protein while working out heavily will make your body dissolve unused muscles to sustain the ones you´re exercising. Of course, that means killing any and all exercises for the upper side of your body. So you´ll work out legs, and your body will eat your arms and torso in order to sustain the legs' growth.

And I actually had a full facial feminization procedure, shaving apple, forehead, nose and chin. Or you think I was born with that? Lol not by a long shot xD

You all look amazing too, this is by far my favourite thread and its such a powerful tool, it really shows whats possible through transition and can bring a lot of hope for people. It certainly did for me in the early days which is why I still post those terrible scary man pics here and there, hopefully it catches some peoples eye who are unsure or afraid of whats possible and give them a gentle push in the right direction. Something along the lines of "Holy #*&$*@! if that Uber Man Beast can do it - so can I!

EmeraldPerpugilliam - So far as hair removal, all due to Laser and Hormones, works a charm.
There are other options too like electrolysis if your the wrong hair type for laser.

EXACTLY!!! This thread pretty much did that exact thing for me. For my entire adult life, I gave up on the possibility of ever transitioning, because I thought that it was impossible that I would ever look good. But then, because of this thread, and because of many Youtube videos in the same vein, I seriously did say "Holy ****! Most of the girls in these pictures/videos started out with way more masculine features than me, and look at how great they are now! I can do this!!! I really can!" And I finally did. So yeah... exactly. I also LOVE this thread. And thank you for continuing to post the amazing transformations. They really are an inspiration!

Jay-bird and Mayra, I showed my wiife your pics and told her I was going to start an extreme exercise routine and diet.  She said good get on it, I would love it if you looked like that as well. She is super hot. So far I have felt unsure as to how she would respond to the extreme shift I have planned and now I know I can push hard for it, and I will.

   It has been SO long since I have posted in a picture thread, I can't even recall. I have had a lot going on since the last post. I hardly think anyone will remember me but, alas, I don't care!  >:-) Well since my last post, my pseudo male life has been taking off at an incredible pace. Depending on your perspective it is either helping or hindering my transition. I have gotten 2 promotions at work, with substantial raises. With my new found income, I decided it was time to become a home owner. However, little did I know that that would entail moving back in with my parents for the past 6 months, while my home was being built. About 2 weeks ago, I finally moved into my first home! So exciting! So I have gotten to be me again for two weeks now.  Even though, outwardly, I had to take a couple of steps backward in my transition process. But I am alot better off in my transition fincancially. My new position will be much easier to find work once I do transition to full time. It is full time designing work, now and I am sitting in front of a computer with 0 manual labor. So after about a year or so I will have enough experience to become employable anywhere in the country.
   As I am still very much not "out" to almost everyone I know, I am not sure if I belong in this thread's "after" portion. Again I don't care!  >:-)

This is the one and only "Before" picture of me that I own. Enjoy it it won't be up very long. I can't really stand to look at this one... :embarrassed:
*deleted* Bleh! This one was sometime in December of 2009

This one is from when I got together, with my now best friend, for the first time. She decided we would raid her closet, hair extensions and make-up. This was the result! This one was early Feb. of 2012.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic100.picturetrail.com%2FVOL888%2F13480272%2F24332877%2F406222499.jpg&hash=8986b277cb4e91f8e1c45b736d8cee320e957194)

This was a similar situation a week or so later. Still some of my favorite pictures. She is really good with make-up. This one was Feb. of 2012.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic100.picturetrail.com%2FVOL888%2F13480272%2F24332877%2F406222500.jpg&hash=1f69ea92d86e79c16b15e03dccf453df09ca095e)

This one is me on the way to get my first "hormone" prescription filled. I put it in quotes because the dose that I was put on was proposterous. It has taken sometime to get the correct cocktail. But that is a story for a differant thread. This was late June of 2012.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic100.picturetrail.com%2FVOL888%2F13480272%2F24332877%2F406222506.jpg&hash=184533589c5cfb0761f21cf88bee51b991eb7140)

This one is of me sometime that same weekend. The cardigan I'm wearing was my favorite that was left at some store that weekend. :( So, because I miss it, I will post it to honor its memory.  :P
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic100.picturetrail.com%2FVOL888%2F13480272%2F24332877%2F406222504.jpg&hash=e9961ffcb3e6dae9fb53056abd0cd2548a5d64bd)

This one is of me when I took my hormones into my own hands a little bit. Again, a different thread. But this is in Nov. of 2012.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic100.picturetrail.com%2FVOL888%2F13480272%2F24332877%2F406222502.jpg&hash=c7bc3e0110a8da278a3afa7740ca5d8151f14a48)

Finally, the rest are all from tonight. I was feeling a little photogenic tonight... ;D I'm not sure if I have changed much or not. To me the only thing that seems to change is the length of my hair? *Shrugs*

   I still struggle to see the changes. Every now and again I will notice a possibility that something visually has changed. But that thought is always too quickly disected to have any lasting affect. But I think I should clarify a little bit, I am actually pleased with the way I look. I just dont think its that different other then now I have longer hair and make-up on.  ::)
   Thank you for the compliment on my hair. It is one of those things I take great care with to the point of obsession. But it took me 2 years to get it to this length. Like watching paint dry as I'm sure you know.

<3 Liv

P.S. That's not the first time I heard the Brad Pitt thing.  :'( Hopefully, one day I will look nothing like that "before" person...

You struggle because you are intimately familiar with the "before". Trust us, you look GREAT!

OH MY GOD, I was so depressed about my perma-scowl when I first started transition, and had to seriously WORK for a month to stop tensing my brow. Now, no problems at all!

Edited to add: Thank you, that seriously almost made me tear up.  :)  :)  :)

Well yeah, the tensing of the brow is kind of a learned guy thing, I would bet that the calming effect of HRT laid you back enough to be able to stop it.

You'll be fine! Once I finally managed to stop squeezing my brows, there were fairly noticeable lines leftover for a few months, but now even they are gone. A surprising amount of muscle dissipates from the forehead as well.

lol.. Work has been really good been fulltime now for a little over 90 days. I haven't had much of a hard time the first two weeks I got outted by customers a few times but just kept it in my mind I gotta get threw this phase to get to the next if you know what I mean. That is awesome you started a new one. I wish sometimes I could leave my job go somewhere else start fresh as me but I can't. Isn't that the best feeling in the world being ma'amed! :)

You know, Serena, actually I think we are so lucky, you know? You are a few months ahead of me, you are approaching the one year mark, I am just at the six month mark, but look how beautiful and happy you look! You look like an amazing young woman! Can you believe it happened that fast??? You are truly amazing. I remember you telling us some time ago about a couple of people acting all weird because they realized they were buying a car from a lady who was possibly not born a lady, but it seems like that type of stuff has been going away rapidly. Chances are you will never encounter that ever again.

Me, I started a bit later than you did, like I said, you are a few months ahead of me, and I am not even half as beautiful and glamorous as you are. I am just the sporty type. Nonetheless I am truly amazed at how fast things have been happening!!! Contrary to what I had read and what my doctor had told me, changes are happening so darn fast: my hips are wide, my behind is beyond puffy, my thighs are round and very female like. I have lost a ton of muscle mass. Then the upstairs: everybody had been telling me to be patient... I started out with nothing, maybe a triple A... Then 3 months ago I was a 38A, and now I am a 36B (exact same bra brand and "model", btw), which means I have lost a couple of inches around my rib cage, and I gained a full cup size. Can  you believe it? I cannot!!!My face has gotten so much softer... Nobody ever calls me nothing but ma'am... Everywhere!!! It is amazing!!! Is it really happening??? This fast??? But the absolute best is how guys have been looking at me, smiling at me, and flirting with me lately. Men's attention is the best thing in the world. It is so addictive. I can never have enough of it. Tonight I was driving home from work, and at the light, this cute guy in a SUV, pulls up next to me, looks at me, and smiles at me in that certain way... :-) :-) :-) He had a wedding band and a kid in the back... I felt like saying "thanks, but I don't think your wife would be happy about this... " I just love guys. The best inventipn since... ever!!! :-) :-)

Is there a line of men forming outside your door, Serena? :-) ;-)

Take care,
Andrea

Ha! Yep!

Tanning destroys the elastin in your skin and elastin is the single most important thing that creates a youthful appearance. Thing is, your body is done producing elastin at 11-13 years of age. So what you destroy, will not come back.

lol.. You girls crack me up! My skin is fine. That is what tanning lotion is for. Anything is bad for you if you abuse it. Cigarettes, energy drinks, soda, liquor, you name it. Three to four times month will not hurt you and your skin will not be dry I promise you that. I know mine isn't but each person is different.

I have been going now for three months to get rid of a uneven boy tan. Which is now gone so I can wear shorts and skirts without looking like a nun that has had her legs covered for a decade as well as low cut tops. Love you girl but a measly 7-8 minutes of your life; 3 times a month for 4 months will not take a decade of your skin off.

It was either do tanning for a short time or look like a clown in public until my tan lines disappeared. Arizona is not a place where you can get away wearing pants, and "t-shirts" until summer time.

Once summer weather hits I won't be doing the tanning bed scene anymore. It's served its purpose as a fix early in my transition when I went full-time.

Girl I love ya too, but yeah... over time it will kill your skin. Lotion or not. They'll tell you in beauty school, if you want to keep your skin as youthful as possible, stay away from cigarettes, sun, and tanning beds. You can't get away from the sun, but tanning beds produce a UV that is so close to your skin it eats through your elastin (which tightens your skin... wrinkles are a lack of elastin). Tanning as often as you do wont make you regret it for the next year or two, but 10 years from now, you may wish you didn't.

I don't wanna start a fight or anything about it... but I won't touch those beds!

It's interesting, but prior to the 1930's a healthy and desirable person was seen to be very "white" (i.e., no tan or minimal tan); a combination of indoor living as well as having wealth.

Somewhere, somehow, the idea that "tan" = healthy took over, and people went crazy with it. (Also the idea that "wealth" = terrible thing came with it...probably due to the efforts of the worldwide class war that was going on about that time).

But, I digress. You may return to your normally scheduled thread...

Oh wait, an update:

I was curious about the pic of the uber-tan woman...the pic info said "tan mom" so a quick Google search came up with this (http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/05/04/tan-mom-risks-tanning) (among other things)

FFS?  do what makes you happy.  But I'd suggest you maybe get some further counseling too.  You're one of the most gorgeous girls on here and if you can't see that, I'd be concerned that surgery won't be everything you're hoping for.
I am being absolutely serious now, the ONLY facial feature in common between these photos is the cleft in your chin (not even your chin shape/jawline, just the cleft) and on you, it looks freaking ADORABLE.  Seriously, I love it, I thinks it's your best feature.  Well, that and you eyes.  They're amazing.  And your cheeks.  and you smile. 
Seriousy girl, YOU. LOOK. GREAT.

PLUS!, you take the least flattering photos of yourself!!  and you still look great!

Anyway, definitely get FFS if it's really what you need (just  for the love of god get a really good surgeon) but maybe take a look at you general emotional well being too?  Because the latter will be cheaper, and might just be more effective.

*huggs*

Seriously, you're hot.
Like, I'm always excited to see you post because I love your pretty.
hot, hot, hot.

So I think I've changed somewhat in two months of HRT. Or do I look the same? The new pictures were taken today. I got some guy called me sweetheart today, and then some lady said excuse me sir and then asked "do you have a dollar miss?" I guess I'm confusing people. I don't think I pass in the slightest, yet. But I think it looks like I changed somewhat.

Please don't quote the pics. I will be taking them down sometime tomorrow.

*pics deleted*

Joanna, I think your skin has gotten much better. The fourth picture, I would say miss too. Looking good, hopefully I will notice some change too. Just so slow progress and hard to wait :)

So I figured I'd join in and show a pic of me before and after... It took me ages to find any pic of me before, so the one I'm posting kinda has my eyes shut and stuff lol

Anyway here goes...

This is me before (At about 19/20 or so):

Sanjayn: Beautiful! What a dramatic change...

Dee: Wow! You look so different, beautiful.

Yanping: another beauty...i love your look, so sweet and beautiful

sarahdoll: amazing!! you look incredible...

wow I am amazed at all of your transitions, so proud of you ladies...beautiful in and out, transition really is inspiring.

here is my own transformation...

the male picture is from January 2011, the female picture is from April 2013. I have been on HRT for 8 months. In the boy picture I was also still drinking alcohol, hence why I look wasted and am so bloated. That was also a picture of me taken at my brothers wedding...I was the "best man"...if the best man is a woman, whats that say about men?? ;p

I still feel I need ffs. I seem to pass but yeah... I think I'll always struggle with my own reflection... Anyway, you've seen my before... Now, do I need my nose and chin done to look cis? Be honest. Please.

Isabelle, usually I don't like giving criticism cause, well, I just don't like doing it.  But I'll make an exception since you clearly want it. (Not that my opinion carries any weight. Just one woman's thoughts).

In your profile pic, I don't see any need for any cosmetic procedure on either your nose or chin. You look 100 percent cis. On the frontal shot, your nose is still fine. Could you make it smaller. Yes. Does it need it. No. It looks female and any surgery you might want on your nose would be for your own emotional well-being and to help erase that old image completely.

On your chin: yes, you do have a bit of a cleft chin. However, your chin is also rather short or small so you def wouldn't need (or even want) FFS on it. I did some reading and there are thousands of women with the same problem as you and they almost quote you word for word on how they feel about it. I just looked at 100s of photos of cis women with the same chin problem who pretty much feel the same way you do and said what you said almost word for word. They feel it makes them look manly. If you had a long chin you might need FFS, but it isn't long, it's short and female. So how can something that mainly effects females be manly? Anyhoo, It doesn't take away from your ability to pass whatsoever. Know that. You would prob want cleft chin surgery before rhinoplasty, if you were to go that route. But, you don't need it.

I understand though how women, especially us trans women, are super critical of ourselves and getting it taken care of seems like it would help you a great deal emotionally. You don't need any FFS. Your chin is feminine; it just has the cleft.

Also, you're really beautiful. I mean seriously pretty. There is something to be said for leaving everything as is. Sometimes our perceived flaws are what makes us so unique. But do what you need to do to feel as best you possibly can. I also read that you could get the chin taken care of with a simple outpatient procedure where they inject a filler, Restylane or Juvederm, in order to smooth out the cleft. It would be much, much cheaper than actual cleft chin surgery. You really shouldn't get rhinoplasty as you nose is fine. But I mean who couldn't use cosmetic surgery? Everyone has flaws. And sometimes we look so hard for flaws that after awhile that is all we see. But I'm here to tell you what I see and what I see is an incredibly attractive late 20s woman who I'd run through a bed of hot coals just to date once. I'm funny that way. If I get money to get to NZ, you may have to take out a restraining order on me JK LOL.

Hope this helps in someway and I hope I didn't hurt your feelings or anything. And don't forget, I wasn't kidding when I said how attractive I think you are. I don't lie, ever. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. Say Hi to Peter Jackson for me. All you Kiwis know each other, right lol haha Actually, I'm a much bigger fan of his earlier work, like Heavenly Creatures. LOTR, meh.

I'm posting these pictures because of something Rowan said... I alway post pictures of myself in an unflattering light.... It's just how I am... I don't wear much makeup, and I never do much with my hair or anything. Anyway, I thought I'd post pictures of "everyday" me that are slightly more flattering than my usual "no make up, laying in bed with my hair all messed up" type pictures. This is me how I go to work usually. I still feel I need ffs. I seem to pass but yeah... I think I'll always struggle with my own reflection... Anyway, you've seen my before... Now, do I need my nose and chin done to look cis? Be honest. Please.


Yay!  pics or you with good lighting! Now go post them in the fabulous thread ;D
You look great Isabelle.  You're beautiful and if I had a magic wand I'd let you see what I see for an afternoon and perahaps you wouldn't be so hard on yourself anymore. 
I've said it before, but I really love your chin, I think it's totally cute and is one of those features that makes someone interesting and real, and human. 
I also understand that when you have a prominent feature, especially one that's considered "masculine" (who?! Why?! why do we think this?!) that it is, basically, a visual trigger that can easily cause your brain to see what it expects to see rather than what's there.  So as I said before, I think you should do exactly what you think is best for you to feel happy with your appearance.
I really, truly hope you'll come to see how beautiful you are in time because you deserve to know how lovely you are.

I've been an emotional mess lately, but I find some comfort in the small amount of physical change I've had since starting estrogen (I am now at 3.5 months).I wish I didn't see that male side of me when I look into a mirror, though. :/

@Alice, you are blossoming into a femme Alice in such a short time, nice!

@Girl Power, what a transition in a year, you have that girl power!

@Keaira, Caleb is right, tapering of back of jaw to chin, nose is thinner. I love your round apple cheeks & that smile, you glow pretty! That object behind your head makes it look like you have a Carmen Miranda thing going on lol.

Keep doing what you are doing lovely ladies!

@Alice, you're getting there!  With a few more months, you'll be totally feminine and you won't have to worry about seeing a guy in the mirror any longer.  Best of luck to you. 

@Lydia, what a transformation!  You make a very attractive goth girl.  I enjoy reading about your job and your abilities to work on cars and other vehicles.  There aren't many women with your abilities out there.  I hope that you can make the most of it.

I'm not at all good at pointing out subtle changes, and even I can see how much softer your skin looks now.  I bet HRT is going to continue doing wonderful things for you  :)

Hi everyone

So many amazing transformations here :).

Ive reached one year on hormones so ive decided to do a before and after pic

Before hormones

So, this thread has seems like it needs some action so I thought I'd post a couple before and after pics at two or so months since I started HRT. I just started regular does spiro two weeks ago so I'm hoping to see a lot more changes. But, I think I some of my changes are noticable. Not sure. What do you girls think? Any change? I obviously look 100 percent male, though some say I look totally like a girl but the only time I saw anything was today on the El. I thought, hey, I do look a teeny bit pretty. But then some dick called me bro and oldhead, so it's prob all in my head.  PLEASE DON"T QUOTE.

*pics deleted* :-)

Okay, I like the changes I am seeing.

Yes, you do look androgynously "male," but less so than before, and some of those things can change with time on hrt.

It looks as if your skin (rosacea?) is clearing (skin under the influence of male hormones is more prone to these skin ailments).  Many of our FtMs get bad acne breakouts on T.  Athletes abusing steroids break out in mounds of "bacne" (back acne).

So don't give up hope.  FFS may be in your future - I know it would be in mine.

Thats really good for nine weeks!! I can definitley see a differance in your face, a lot smoother and softer looking and as Jamie mentioned the redness is starting to clear.

Thanks. I'll never be able to afford FFS though so yeah. I'm a poor kid from one of the worst neighborhoods in the USA. It's literally called the Badlands. I just started regular dose sprio too and before that it was so low that it prob had no effect. But I'll have to make a decision whether or not to continue HRT given that FFS is something I can't do and the fact that I won't be able to ever pass without it. IDK.

C'mon Joanna you're having some awful self doubts, you have to change that negative tape that's running in your brain. Head out to the nearest shopping mall, get a cup of coffee at one of those kiosks and sit down for awhile while you observe every woman that walks by that probably could use a load of FFS to correct all of their genetic facial problems, and take note how unconcerned about it that they aren't just drop-dead-gorgeous but still seem to be carrying on totally unconcerned. You will note that they all pass even though some of them are as homely as mud hens. Ok sweetie, no more poor me stuff, you are going to be a winner and won'e need FFS to qualify either.

Listen to Auntie Shan!

For nine weeks on low dose spiro, you're looking great.
Do you pass now?  I don't know, it's always hard to tell from photo's as I'd say 70% of being read as female is about body language.
In the photo you posted I get a very feminine vibe, and with that short a haircut, that's quite something.
I think there's every reason to assume that given time, you absolutely will pass.  and easily at that.
As to your life prospects (getting out of the hood so to speak) there will be opportunities.  Learning to spot them is what differentiates successful people from those who tend to remain at the level they stared at,  but bear this in mind, trying to make success for yourself when you aren't truly you is incredibly hard.  The more in  tune you are with yourself, the more likely you are to be able to spot an open door where once there was a brick wall. I've squandered a ton of opportunities over the years because depression just took the wind out of my sails again and again. 
I'm doing pretty well, but I feel like I'm a decade behind where I should be given all the good fortune I have had over the years.
Since I started transition, I've been a lot more focused on taking advantage of everything that comes my way.  There is no doubt I've lost some of the things that just make life easier for men in this world, but hey, I wasn't taking advantage of them anyway.
I'm not trying to blame people for their situations in life by saying that they "are too lazy too succeed" or something like that.  It's insanely hard to get out of an environment of poverty and maybe you just won't be lucky enough to get that opportunity, but I do know that if you give up even looking for a way out, you'll miss whatever options you might have had.

That was probably a day and a half of no shaving. I used to be able to grow a beard in like 4 days. It's like my body decided to focus all of it's hair generation energies into everything from my neck up only.

Wow, and double wow Jennygirl.

What a difference!
I would not believe it was you before.

Yes growing a beard in less than a week is a nasty thing, I always hated it.
It's so good to have it gone for good or nearly, you look fantastic and give me hope when I start the magic pills.
You make me even more determined to do what I have to do so I hope to post some pics before and after soon.

Ever thought of purple hair? It does look good on me?

Thanks everyone! It gets weirder and weirder seeing my old photos. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when people I haven't seen in a long while don't even recognize me. It's really funny and a huge affirmation when a friend reintroduces themselves as if we've never met. I never really know what to say, so I usually smile uncontrollably and stare at them for a while thinking it will click. Lately, though, that hasn't even been working.

Shantel- that dorky guy is a distant memory to me now. The only thing I have left to remind me of him is parts of my voice, but in about a week even that will be just a figment of the past for me and everyone that knew me before. I leave for Korea in 7 days! :D :D

Rowan, I think you could cosplay as Samantha Carter from Stargate SG-1:

And while nothing to do with the character specifically, I do have an egyptian tattoo!
I'd need to go a more natural blonde though.

Awesome. I have a Japanese tattoo. But I think you could pull off Sam Carter fairly well.... you lucky girl you. ^_^

Hey, maybe that would be a fun thread to start. We could call it, "You could cosplay as..." :)

Thanks everyone!

@missjanealice - Wow, that's quite the change!  You look great :)  Love the pink in your hair!

@Stephanie G - You look fantastic!  I have days when I just see a boy in the mirror and it really sucks, but in the end I have to conclude it's really more in my mind because no one else sees it but me.  It's just how our brains are wired, we see what we expect to see  :-\  I'm pretty confidant you're in the same place, i.e, you're the only one who sees and "masculine" traits :)  You look great!

Rowan you just like Anne Hathaway. She dyed her hair blond and it's a very similar style to yours. She was at the Met/Vogue Fashion Gala last night. The first thing I thought of when I saw her is she looks just like you!

@Stephanie G and Miss Jane Alice: You both look great and should be ecstatic about your results.

@Yanping: You def have a a pretty femme body and judging by your pic in the before image, transition should be a breeze. Prob need a trach shave though unfortunately. Maybe not though. Hard to tell from one image and you're kinda highlighting it too. It is artistic though.

I just saw a video from the Met Gala this morning and there was a clip where Ms. Hathaway turned to the camera and it was sooo weird.  I literally had a second of "what am I doing in this video?!?"
She soooo stole my look!  ;)
We even do our eyes the same!

@Carolina - Thanks hon.  I hope you have many, many more happy moments headed you way. You deserve it.

ok folks,
QUESTION
I've been growing my hair out but it's making me crazy because it's so hard to style right now.
As Anne Hathaway and I look like identical twins since she stole my look, I'm seriously considering getting it cut again. 
Plus summer's on the way and it will be easier in the hot weather.
Sooo, do I keep growing it out and go back to brunette, or do I keep it short and blond.
Help!

So, I mean this as a compliment seriously.  Maybe its not what some people wanna hear.. but some of you were absolutly sexy before AND after transition.  Being bisexual, I found myself thinking wow, they were cute guys too!

And anyhow to be fair, I dug up the oldest possible picture I could find (though I destroyed alot of old pictures of me).  I believe age 19 maybe 20, probably a month or two after starting HRT (but well after I came out to myself, and started growing my hair long)

I wish I had better photos though :/ Btw I'm really sorry it's so big. I keep trying to resize it and it just comes out either huge or super tiny.

Thanks!!!

And yes, the food here is very tempting. The Quarter is only about 5 minutes away from my house and my fav place to eat, Verti Marte is there. They load stuff with butter and other fatty stuff that makes everything just divine!!

You're just getting prettier by the day Alaina, thigh and butt is what girls are suppose to have unlike some guys who seem to suffer from birdlegs and goneass once they hit their 40's. I'm on patches, the endo said patches, topical gels and injections are much safer and more effective than pills and get the goods to the hormone receptors right away rather than having to be processed through the liver first. Seems like it's working for you girlfriend!

Yup, I made up my mind. Switching to injections in two weeks! I'm not messing around anymore!  >:-) Btw Alaina, if I had a picture of my cousin (who is an aspiring model) you would be able to see just how much you look like her. Truely stunning!

Not hardly, but your photos look as if you are one happy gal, you look quite a bit prettier too. Perhaps the more obvious feminine assets add more to the overall impression as well.  ;)

Estradiol Valerate (Injections), and oral Spironolactone. I was using Finasteride but I went off of that in March.

Alaina, part of the thighs issue may be from how short you are.  (I am NOT making fun of you!)  There are just fewer inches for the leg to taper from the butt to the knees.  And like others have said, you're just more feminine that way.

Alaina, why are injections so much more effective?  I see a huge change in you too since you switched. Do you feel any different?

I live in the NOLA area and the food is amazing!

It goes into your blood stream right away, pills go through your liver and they're not as effective as they should be.

I've been on pills and when i switched to injections i noticed a change.
I've been on estradiol cypionate for a while now.

my endo recently put me on estrogel to pick my levels up even more and my body is REALLY starting to fill out, i think we finally got my levels right, so it's really different for everyone.

Maybe so. I'm just taking after my mom (who is about 5'). She has huge thighs and always has since I was born. It's not that my thighs are way too huge now (even though they look it in that picture), it's that they ballooned at a rate faster than anything else that's changed since I started HRT. Then I look at my mom and think of that and I start worrying.

IDK!! Maybe because they stay steady throughout the day. My roommate has always mentioned how my mood changes thoughout the day. I have noticed that too! I used to go from testy, to taking the pill, to insecure, to happy, to emotional, to quiet, to testy, to taking the pill throughout the course of the day. Now that I'm on shots, he says I don't really go through that anymore.

I love NOLA. I'll never leave here unless I'm forced to. Maybe we will bump into each other one day. Feel free to send a friend request on Facebook!

That is interesting besides cost one of the reasons I am not on injections is my endo says that it won't lower my T levels and may add back to them. But cost is the main issue hence why I am on pills.
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Alainaluvsu on May 15, 2013, 04:19:10 AM
I was on a pretty low injections dose for a couple months before getting my last labs. They came back E = 72 (low) and T = 7 (low). But my T has been suppressed for over a year so... idk.
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Charley Bea(EmeraldP) on May 15, 2013, 04:41:20 AM
Not sure what the levels mean but apparently after my last tests when I saw my endo(2 months ago almost) she said my T levels were down to 4 from 10 after been on low dose pills after a month at the time.

Well, you looked good before, but now you look great ... you're face is softer, prettier and more feminine. And if you're complaining about getting too much fat on your butt and your thighs, well, that's because you're 100% female and have you ever known a woman who DIDN'T worry about that??! Just remember that men are FAR less bothered by it than women are. In fact, the more girly a girl's shape is, the more they like it ...

Thanks! You should definitely go not just because of Spiegel's skill but because the nurses in the hospital are amazing! Katie Martucelli (patient coordinator) and Kelly are super sweet people (they send you flowers and stuff after you wake up from surgery) and the city itself is seriously gorgeous and they have a George Town Cupcake store on Newbury street! :D

I had 9 procedures done at once. Forehead recontouring, chin recontouring, jaw recontouring, rhinoplasty, brow lift, lip lift, lip augmentation, cheek augmentation, and a tracheal shave. The cost for all of those procedures, anesthesia, operating room and overnight hospital stay was $45,000

Amazing. So glad it turned out well :) you look absolutely fantastic!

I'm considering getting my brow bossing corrected along w/ a super subtle rhinoplasty.. I'm a little scared to go to Dr O because of his insistence on the Hollywood scoop nose. I have heard Spiegel works a lot more with your natural look... and girl you do look totally natural. Incredible!

You look tooootally CIS, by the way.. And did I mention beautiful? Picking my jaw up off of the floor. To me it looks like you've already had FFS. What do you want to have done?

Also I don't think going full time at work is foolish at all. Once they see how beautiful you are they will probably just be really happy for you :)

Thank you so much! I want to have nose and jaw work, actually D: I basically want to be able to pass without putting on makeup. And I work as a fabrication engineer around the rough-and-tumble type, so it might get a bit intense when I come out there.

You're finally seeing what everyone else sees? That's great because you really look fantastic and 100 percent female and absolutely beautiful.

Nothing the least bit "andro" about your face.  Your FFS surgeons did a great job.  That guy you see in the mirror is a figment of your imagination.

And if you are "andro," there is no hope for me even getting close to that standard.   :(

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the ladies who have posted on this thread, well I think its a thank you, I may have to put it as "thank you" as seeing the before and after pictures has sent me into a bit of a tail spin with thoughts of my own possibilities for transition, but I leave that to another thread for when I pluck up the courage.  But it is so rare to see such complete transformations side by side and I think in every case on this thread they are amazing results

Thanks Debbie! Yea, those glasses are boy glasses, but they're progressive bifocals so they're expensive D: I'm definitely going to get more fem ones in the future though.

There are some nice feminine looking rimless glasses that are available that don't make a big statement like "I'm wearing glasses!" I think they can be very attractive and not detract from your pretty face in any way. I was kind of amazed when I started seeing people wearing those big "Clark Kent" horned rimmed glasses again. I thought who let the dogs out and resurrected those ugly looking things?

when it comes to glasses it's pretty gender neutral unless you go for the really wacky rim types. most of it is done by face type.

You need not worry about the boy glasses you look fabulous in them and they actually compliment you wonderfully, I was more concerned you needed your eyes tested if your seeing anything wrong with your female presentation.

I'm considering partial transition and seeing all these pics is both bad and good news.

Good one first : You're all too beautiful and I'm so jealous of being that feminine.  :o And I give hope to see such results !
Bad one now : Knowning results like that are possible how can I hope for a partial transition.... If I start I won't stop middle way and need to come out at work too.

Huhu. Just amazing pics.
Thanks for sharing.

I know my face has changed, but I cant put my finger on exactly what is different because I see myself everyday. When people see me who I'm not out to, they comment on that I look different. I just tell them that I lost a ton of weight. How big are my facial changes?

About a year and a half ago, pre everything

I see a lot of subtle things, and they all add up to something great...

if I were to list a few of the things I notice...
+ softer skin (noticeable around nose the most)
+ "starry eyes"
+ more oval shaped jawline
+ a more feminine expression
+ and a nice lip color!

I think I notice the biggest difference in your eyes, though. If I saw you in real life I would think you were CIS, whereas before I would have looked harder or possibly wondered if you were trans. But both of these photos look very feminine, except the current one totally passes :D

if I were to list a few of the things I notice...
+ softer skin (noticeable around nose the most)
+ "starry eyes"
+ more oval shaped jawline
+ a more feminine expression
+ and a nice lip color!

I think I notice the biggest difference in your eyes, though. If I saw you in real life I would think you were CIS, whereas before I would have looked harder or possibly wondered if you were trans. But both of these photos look very feminine, except the current one totally passes :D

I agree, you seem to have gone from a more angular face to a more round feminine one, you definitely do look CIS.  Btw, is that your natural hair color Michelle?

I wish it was natural. My real color is a medium brown. I'm thinking about going back to it, it's been a while.

Thanks!! Looking at all the pics from my transition, I am seeing the difference in the eyes. My skin is super soft now too. Often ill touch somewhere and surprise myself at how soft the skin is.

Michelle, You look wonderful! A very dramatic feminization of the face. Plus, you're rocking a Joy Division shirt, a fashion choice that merits high praise.  ;D

Thanks! It's frustrating that I can't go full time yet due to my job. I plan on getting out of there once I start back at school.

I know about having to be patient when it comes to employment.  It will come.  In the meantime, you are looking fabulous.  Congrats, girl!  :D

I just went through this entire topic, and my jaw just dropped. Some of these changes are amazing! If I were a woman, I'd definitely be jealous of all your features!

So, you know how most before-and-afters use different poses and all?

Well, I just stumbled across a "Before" shot that's pretty much identical to one I just took, and figured "Why not make a before-and-after out of it?"
So, here we go - August 2011 to May 2013.

In public :)

I thought you weren't presenting as female in public yet? But yeah, I can definitely tell you're presenting as female in this picture, and you look gorgeous in it. Your face is super cis! And I love your hair, the length works for you.

Just to clarify, if you're already full time, then I would be surprised if you ever got clocked because you pass 100% in my eyes. And if you're not yet full time, once you do go full time, I don't think you'll have any trouble because from the two most recent pics I've seen of you, you look cis and great!

Oh, modelling. I was wondering why those strange faces. You would look much better on a natural, smiling picture. :D That's not to say you don't look awesome though.

(Also, if you can feed my curiosity by answering the long-standing question of why models have to make that kind of face, bonus points!)
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Caroline_W on May 27, 2013, 01:26:08 PM
well it depends on what the photographer says, sometimes they tell u to make a happy face or an angry face or sexy it depends on the type of editorial or work u are doing for example in these pictures i was suppose to be very serious looking, :)
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: A on May 27, 2013, 01:47:15 PM
Oh, okay. I didn't know that was a serious face. (Honestly if someone was making this face while doing serious work I'd be worried.) I'd always thought that was the "model face", that some eccentric fashion designers had deemed a good idea forever and ever. oo'

Oh yeah! This is totally off-topic again, but why are models generally recruited to be tall?

Extremely slim, waif like proportions and long legs are what designers find to be the ideal female body. Also, it's basically the norm now, it wouldn't change without some sort of fashion paradigm shift.
Hmmm, so long legs, then? 'Cause there is plenty of short, thin and cute girls (damn them!). Weird, dunno what they have with long legs. Also it's technically a male feature. xD
Title: Re: The before and after thread.
Post by: Caroline_W on May 27, 2013, 01:59:41 PM
well because a model is suppose to be different from other women, to stand out that´s mainly why the taller the better, but i know girls that can´t model because they are very tall, for example i know a girl who cannot model anymore because she is 6´5 or 7 something like that so that´s too tall to be a female model, but i also know models who are 5´7 or a bit shorter and have an amazing face structure and they are hired as models. so it really depends on the girl and it´s propose, smaller girls aren´t used for runway but mostly for photo-shoots while taller girls are used in both hope that helped :)

Mhm... To stand out. Yeaaah. I mean, if they're on a picture or on a stage, it shouldn't make much of a difference, but. Go understand those haute couture people. Sometimes they come out with the paramount of ugliness and ridicule and people applaude.

Added: Ooh, I saw the pictures. How old were you when you started? I'm quite jealous. I was treasuring these hips of mine as the one thing I was lucky to get, but they're literally nothing compared to yours.

and well talking about the modelling stuff yes there are plenty of short skinny cute girls i´v seen a lot and there is a kind of modelling for petite girls :), and yes sometimes designers and fashion magazines make some funny and weird stuff and people applaud it but i think it´s because of the perception of beauty some people seem to think those ridiculous are very cool and pretty haha personally i have a very open mind when it comes to that i mean i appreciate those weird things and i also appreciate other kind of stuff that are not what designers or people who work in fashion look for :)

Ok so I kind of have a before photo but I was just starting out kind of dressed as female. However if you have ever seen the movie studio 54 the scene where the old lady dies on new years their is 2 saliors the one with the feather bowa and makeup is me. No Lie I was an extra in that movie Im the young one out of the two.

Before years of hormones and the boobs are really chicken cutlits from sears bra inserts.

Thanks Shantel, Darkie that photo was taken by this guy I knew that wanted to do a painting of me. He never did the painting but the photo was taken at an art studio LOL. Ya I don't think I was happy than not as much as I am now. Than again I never thought back than that I would even get to where I am today.

Well, your Avatar is beautiful!  That other picture of you is as well, but your beauty really shines through with the avatar because I can tell you are happy.  It's amazing what someone's feelings does for your appearance.  And I'm kinda starstruck that I've met someone online who was in a movie! :)

So, you know how most before-and-afters use different poses and all?

Well, I just stumbled across a "Before" shot that's pretty much identical to one I just took, and figured "Why not make a before-and-after out of it?"
So, here we go - August 2011 to May 2013.

Please ignore the stare-off-into-space in #2. :|
Also ignore the breast - this particular bra does more than its fair share of 'shaping' v_v

Wow!! OMG, you look amazing Zoe, what a big difference.

Post by: Misato on May 29, 2013, 10:00:16 PM
Thanks Anna!

I think it was the smile that compelled me to share the photo here.  I have this series of photos I took when I got the extensions put in and in those, while I'm just getting the dye job done, I'm just kind of grinning as I did in 2008.  As soon as the length starts getting put in, BAM there's the teeth.  Which brings me to it would be a really good idea to go to the dentist because the teeth have been getting quite a workout ever since!

Spectacular!

Having just read through all 96 pages, I'm in awe of the amazing transformation you've all achieved. An inspiration to everyone thinking about changing.

Just curious, before you started your transition did you know you would look awesome? Or was it a pleasant surprise?

Pretty incredible Abby! I had commented about your tummy earlier, hope I didn't step on your toes dear, I can see that you've made some big progress there as well because that first photo shows a much chunkier guy than the current woman. Very pretty face I might add, well done Abby!

from puberty until transition I hated smiling, refused to in photographs, thought I was ugly when I smiled...

Now I LOVE smiling again! I am always smiling now and I think I look most beautiful with a big smile on my face! <3

The before you already looked like a girl :)  I'm still amazed at how much more feminine you look with short hair, though.  It's pretty incredible.

redheads are totally the cutest!  I'm jelly.

So this is me last summer and this is me right now. Maybe this could help people guesstimate changes at the four month mark. Maybe not. I used images that were as close to the before as possible. I don't know why I am so obsessed with my image today. But I think I changed a little. I'm happy.

Hey everyone!

Me in May 2012 and me now after 9 months of HRT. I've been full time now for a few months and so far everything seems to be going so well!!!

Sorry the photos are very bad but I'm a terrible "self-photographer"!!

Also, do you think my chin is a little too big? I really don't want to do FFS and everyone tells me I pass fine but I feel like that chin ruins everything!! Thanks!!

That's the best 9 month transition I've ever seen!  You look like you became your younger sister!

Your chin is a little on the bigger side, but I don't think that's going to be an issue.  If you want to consider FFS, it's there, if not, I think you'll be a beautiful woman anyway.

Do a search for 'image hosting sites' You'll be able to choose from several, some folks like photobucket, imgur or flicker but go with the one that strikes your fancy  :)

No need to be kind. I can just be accurate. You're doing GREAT! You've got a cute kinda Tina Fey look going on with those glasses and the brunette hair ... and the dress is adorable, too!

PS: 44? Didn't you mean 34?? ;)

Hehe. That's more than I paid for. I must have had a coupon. Thanks. And who wouldn't want to look like Tina Fey? The glasses were actually from when I was idolizing Emily Brewster, and if you know who that is, you're nerdiness (like mine) is past hope.

Aww. Thanks. I've been very fortunate with the outcome, I know. As for the legs, I think the Iphone camera elongates what is closest to it. The dress had shrunk a little because I accidentally put it in the dryer. It was a great summer length dress that is now a very special occasion dress. Here's to having that special occasion soon!

Oops. I accidentally removed the before photo when I took it down from Photobucket. I was going to send the link to a guy I'm chatting with on OKcupid. He knows I'm a transwoman, but I don't really want him seeing the before photo, thank you very much. I restored it to the original message and will leave it up for a few more hours.

So today is somewhat of an ocasion. Today I have officially been on hormones for 1 year.  :icon_drunk:  So 1 year on hormones but only 6 months of them actually at the correct dose doing their magic. ;) So i thought I would post a quick before and after. The first one is of me in Dec. of 2008. When I started to do things I had to in order to start transitioning, however small they seemed then. The second one is of me at my best friends babyshower, yesterday. Enjoy!

Olivia, I looked at that photo of you and your friends and had to look hard to figure out which one was you.  You fit in so perfectly.

You should be very proud!  You look absolutely amazing!   :)

Jane,

You look awesome!  I'm at 3 months on HRT and your same age.  What are your stats?  Height,weight,etc if you don't mind me asking.

Your neck used to look like mine.  Is it me or did your neck thin out ALOT?

Hugs

Kay

It's been forever since I posted on here, grad school tends to do that.  Looking through these pages, I can't believe how great everyone looks.  Here's a couple pics of me, the first from 2.5 years ago; the second is a couple weeks old (after 1 year 4 months on HRT).
