candis cayne started transition ( hormones ) at 27

[mementomori]

i think that gives everyone hope you dont have to have started hormones at 14/15 to look good / pass

[lecoeurdegrey]

Hey dont through us teen transitioners under the bus! jk just let hormones have time to work on you.

[Alainaluvsu]

I think I'm doing alright, being 8 months in and starting @ almost 29...

Seems most people starting in their early 20s do well. But I've seen some great results from people in their 30s/40s too.

Still, if you start after male puberty, you could and up with foot ball shoulders and trucker hands. Fortunately, my hands aren't gigantic, and my shoulders aren't greatly broad..

But I bet most people won't notice those details if you pass well.

Haha, she's had surgery and body work.

She's amazing looking though.

Am I weird if I don't really like how she looks?

not really , she passes pretty well when you dont know , you wouldnt look at her and think " transgender " but once you do know slightly mauscline features become apparant as certain angles , thats probably just me knowing and being over critical though , if id never know about her not being cisgendered its things id probably never notice

when you look at amanda lepore she started hormones at 14 but she is obviously trans .  i dont know if starting young is a definate guaratnee you will look 100 percent genetically female

do you think candis has silicon in her hips ,  god i wish silicon was safe , i wouldnt risk it but still . ugh lol

More than likely.
I used to want body work, but i would never get silicone, I would get those fat transfer thingies that VannaSiamese got.

  oh she is talking about in this video that she identifies as androgynous now , i wonder how many people do that , transition completely but eventually realie they feel more on the androgynous side of feminine  / not binary

I started at 28 and pass depending on how I dress and wear my hair. I flip flop a lot though, sometimes I put on my guy black coat (it makes me look bigger hehe) and go out with my hair back (like my profile picture).

I don't really stress about it. No one gives me negative comments no matter what i do... though, even if they did.... I guess I'm getting too old to really care what everyone thinks all the time.

She's not obviously trans in my book. Just uh..
That girl has had way too much plastic surgery.
I'm almost scared at that face, but don't see anything masculine about it.

Started hormones at 26. Not sure if I got lucky or what, but I couldn't pass as male after 5 months on HRT. Course I did some facial surgery anyway, but that was more about me than about anyone else...

I'm non-binary and pretty much transitioned. People are complicated and stuff.

That is pretty cool, I didn't know of her before. I don't get out much when it comes to these things.

I worry a lot about the age thing, I'm 33, going to be 34 this year. If I make it long enough I wanted to start trying to transition by the end of the year. More likely I'll be 35 before that happens though, if ever. My main worry though is my size. I'm only 5'9" but very bulky frame I think, except my arms/hands kinda. Plus I'm seriously overweight in a very male way, all stomach. Considering what HRT does to the metabolism I just don't see passing or even looking good to my own personal goals, in my future.

Of course I'm very pessimistic so I could be wrong. Thanks for the post though. It's nice to see things like this giving a sliver of possible hope.

Now I know of two three trans women who are named Candice Cayne aka fabulous nick name, Candy Cane (clever) their namesake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candis_Cayne (also trans) or drag queen actually?  Maybe both?

Was pretty sure there was a porn star who went by that name.  Better than Lola Cola or Ivanna Notherdrink  ^_^ .

I began transition at 35 and am 5'9" ^_^ .  I have done quite well.

I'm not overly worried about my height considering I've known quite a few women taller than me. I struggle mostly with weight and health, I haven't been a decent weight since I hit puberty so I really don't know what my frame is underneath the fat. I'm also diabetic so even if I didn't despise my body I'd still need to find a way to eat better, for various reasons I've failed at that.

I've seen a lot of women just on here that show age doesn't mean much with HRT, but I still have my doubts about myself, never been very lucky in life.

Thanks though.

I started at 29, 7 months HRT now and I'm already hot, prettier than most cis girls at my work too >.< ( my avatar is at 4 months HRT)

I won't need any surgery( except BA perhaps but I'm already B cup) because I'm lucky though my body was somewhat predisposed I had little to no male features not to mention no Adam's apple( which is a supreme gender cue) and I am very small. Bottom line it all depends on 2 things: Is your bone structure androgynous and/or female and are you receptive to HRT.
