I've been on HRT since January of 2012. A TS friend of mine after about 6 months said she saw the difference. I couldn't really tell.
Fast forward to last week, a mutual TS friend locally saw me at my friends house at night. I hadn't seen her in over a year. We're in the yard enjoying a rare breeze (weather here is in the 100's). No sooner than we greeted, she said "girl! You look different. You're on hormones huh?" She added "you are glowing".
I've lost a few pounds. I can fit in my skinny jeans now which is great! So I went out Sunday night to play pool. I got home and still looked put together so to speak. Anywho, I took off my make up and looked in the mirror. I could finally see what other see. I could see a woman looking back at me! I began to laugh out loud. Then emotions kicked in and began to cry from pure happiness.
Now I realize that people have to see something different about a "guy" that works as a mechanic looking so feminine. Or, maybe they think that a chick is working on cars?
In closing, I can see how I'm softer around the edges. I suppose I do "glow". Estrogen is a wonderful thing.
