Thinking out loud

[Drexy/Drex]

Well thinking  on  what  you both said.... I think it would be a highlight  for me if some little kid asked me if I was a boy or a girl
Something  simple.
Though no doubt it will the Spanish inquisition   at the wet mess😅😳😆

No makeup 🙄

Oh yeah the wet mess could be heaps of fun..it will certainly make for some interesting conversations

Still battered and bruised but looking a bit better than you did.

Well finally back in Oz one week and sent up to a new job site .. quite a few of mates from my last job , and at.the wetness a couple of them mentioned
they would not have recognised me were it not for my tattooed blue eyes
Sooooo I guess my appearance has changed ,
I went and saw my hrt doc this time with light makeup on and he was amazed...I think others must see the changes more than me ... I'm very happy with the result Dr Cárdenas and his team gave me , he is really good with estimation of fat transfer Vs reabsorption and I got a good result with my cheeks, I had to stay in the clinic for 5 days due to complications as a result of my own health problems, but it was a good stay the nurses were fantastic and I was really well looked after , even my hemotologist visited me,
It will be interesting to see how a good make over goes ,
I've not had any flak concerning my new look at work and
Woman chat to me about what they would.like to get done
As the camp is like a mini town , with about 90 % men I have noticed some men checking me out out of curiousity
anyway early days yet ...now I have to lose weight in the right places if I wear a singlet or a t shirt I wear a Nike compression top underneath
Next on the agenda is a deep skin peel to try and get rid of the acne scars
I'm grateful to be back at work ...now I can work at getting back in the black
I look quite different from my passport photo though it did not cause me any trouble in entering and exiting DFW thought one counter the security woman looked at me and then my passport photo and smiled to herself

 Hi Drexy,

  Glad to see you made it back to OZ and back to work. It is going to be fun getting used to calling you Drexy. I can't say I have ever heard of someone being called that. Is there a story behind it? I am also glad to see you looking umm different... quite different. I guess that would be the best way to put it with your last posted picture. With your eyes still all brised and that dark hood you make a good Halloween scary monk or druid. But that will change and then we will get a good look at how everything came out. The cleared, healed up areas are looking really good.

Hugs,
  Laurie

Thank you Laurie , yes there is a story behind my choice of Drexy 😏😉
I'm glad the difference is noticeable, I don't miss the bruising at all ,yes
Was looking like a female version of Darth Sidious lol

[Cindy]

Nice to see you safely back Hon.

Are back up north west?

[Drexy/Drex]

Hi Cindy  had to change my password
Thanks yes back in the northwest 😊

[Drexy/Drex]

So far so good all my work mates have been cool one said "you've changed" and my voice as well ...lack of testosterone I guess probably quieter  not so baritone ....I'm sure as peeps get their heads around it there will be more questions ....but must say I'm blessed to work with such broad-minded people.....had a guy wink at me in the mess hall ....wonder what that means ....

Thread
Today on the bus back from work
I interrogated the workmate who had straight up said I  had changed  he said my voice has changed as well .....
We worked that out to the new teeth  I have , he was interested in discussing and asked me what I had had done as he  had only recognized me walking past due to my bandanna I told a couple of white lies
He asked if the eye brows were transplants lol I said no as if they were I would have a full head of hair I didn't want to explain the orbital shaving
He teased me a bit about my pouty top lip...I think it needs more work
No one has said I look feminine yet and I doubt they will maybe one of my gf,s perhaps
I've had some stern looks from a couple of men ,and suspicious looks from a red.neck or two other than that everything one is pretty cool ... I'm 1000 miles away from Perth in the middle of the norwest desert we have serious rules in camp concerning  harrasment so that helps plus the fact we all work long hours nso atmthe end of the day people just want a couple of drinks and to socialise.....lots of familier faces from the last job it's.good a crew is like  an extended family so we're all pleased.to see each other
This is a quick snap of a photo I took un prepared in my truck it's.been 5 weeks since.last surgery but what I notice is the beginnings of then sparkle in my eyes of that elusive happiness  happiness I so craved from seeing on the eyes of others who have transitioned

[Cindy]

WOW!

Hon that is quite a change. I had only seen the bruised and battered post surgery pics until now.

Very nice. What a lovely smile and that sparkle and a glint in the eyes.

Yea!!!!!

[Laurie]

Hi Drexy,

  My gosh girl you are looking so much nicer now that the healing has a good hold. It is a wonder you are only getting some suspicious look and not being seen for the beautiful person we see in you Hun.  I too think I can see that twinkle peeking out from your eyes. Hun, be happy in who you are inside. That is who you are and who we see. Let yourself shine.

Hugs,
    Laurie

Thank you Ladies 😊yes I definitely do not miss the yoke of test around my neck,
Mmm I used to wear a size 3xl work shirt and have gone done to a an XL but I might need  2xl soon as I'm starting to fill out in unexpected places😂🤗🙄
Actually I don't mind it's not as awkward as I thought
But main thing is the mindset .....such a relief

Thank you Liz ....your looking pretty darn good yourself😉
Yes things are going quite well ....it's an unusual experience being like this in such a small population.....you know the strangest thing is the amount of interested woman that cheçk me out
When I was big powerful markie I got a lot of interest ..,.but this. Is different ....it's almost as if they know what I am doing and approve ........😳

[Drexy/Drex]

Looking forward to getting back to Perth ....makeover and a serious wig I think

[Laurie]

 You are looking pretty good there Drexy. That smile says a lot about how you are now feeling about yourself. I think you are liking yourself better girl and it is showing through. Good to see you healing up so well.

Hugs,
  Laurie

[Drexy/Drex]

Thank you Laurie ...yes true I'm happy how things turned out it's good to be looking closer to my real self👍😉

[JudiBlueEyes]

[Drexy/Drex]
