The official "You look fabulous, darling!" 5.0

[Megan Joanne]

Okay, slightly naughty of me, showing cleavage, but I couldn't help meself (that wasn't the point of the picture...sure it wasn't  ).


Was getting ready to take my dog out for a walk (in this heat I must be nuts, but only a short one), got distracted, started taking pictures (she's still waiting to go out).


If I'm taking pictures of myself then I must be feeling good today. I just trashed the ones that I didn't like, 2 out of 2 dozen survived the purge.

Big edit, lots of unnecessary text removed (putting myself down), and removed a very degrading caption of myself (I gotta stop being so cruel to me). Thank you Shantel.

Note: if I don't smile or get myself at a certain angle, there's a dual layer going on, straight faced, no smile, everything above the nose looks like a woman's face still, move down, mouth and jaw still too manly (never changed even all these years on hormones). Hold hand over bottom of face below yellow line, what do you see? Now, block the top part of my face, yeah, not so hot anymore. That's the part of my face that bothers me most. And that is why I always smile for the camera, and should more in life and so have been more than ever, because I only look pretty when I look happy.



I don't like showing my worst (oh, I got a really awful one from many years ago, I almost turned to stone looking at it), but so many others here have the courage to, so I should not be embarrassed of those minor imperfections (most women hate something about how they look).

Megan honey,
          OMG you are beautiful, stop the self deprecating remarks already, there is nothing wrong whatsoever with your looks and besides that you exude total femininity. Just gorgeous baby doll!

You're right, got to stop the negativity towards myself. And its like every time I find something good or that I like about me, there's always got to be something bad to accompany it. I've been doing this for so long that its more than a bad habit. Must say only good things about myself from now on! Wait, but then I'll feel like a narcissist.  Okay, then good to neutral.  Bad things only went relating some bad experience about my past and the old me. If I keep putting myself down in the now, how am I supposed to keep that contagious smile (that's the one contagion that is healthy).

Gorgeous! just absolutely gorgeous! You have the most perfect skin I've seen in a long while. Nice cleavage too, lol! I love your hair in photo #2 as well.

Yes it most certainly is and don't worry about being a narcissist, we all are to a certain extent, nothing negative about that! It keeps me checking in the mirror to see if my hair looks ok, it's what makes me look in the mirror when I put on my bra to see if both nipples are pointed straight ahead, it's all that goofy stuff we do, but at least we can thank God that we aren't moping around in dirty clothes, our pants hanging off our asses and in need of a shave with a chew of tobacco under our lower lip and breath that smells like sh**. I'll be a narcissist any day over that.

You're so pretty! Love your smile

[Megan Joanne]

And to think, there was a time I used to never (okay rarely ever) smile. Unless I had a reason, there always had to be one, otherwise no point in flexing face muscles when I barely had the energy to live. Hmm, I wonder what turned the frown upsidedown...and I'm not even on the hormones at the moment (okay, some mental breakdowns once in a while). Must be that I'm finally starting to accept myself, and I know things will work out for me, just have to have a positive outlook (yeah I say this now, tomorrow I'll probably be crying or cursing).

[Newgirl Dani]

For Megan, (I really have not figured out how to get someone's pics and text into my post yet but it will come), anyways you seem very pretty to me Megan, your total look is 'all woman'.  One other thing is you seem to have a slight mischievous (in a playful sort) appearance which I have always found not only attractive but also as a possible cohort for my trixter ways.  Never ever doubt that you are anything but feminine.  Dani

You're not even on hormones and you look like that?! I'm seriously jealous! A smile looks good on you, you should do it more often.

I am?  Nah.
Yeah, the true me, the one that doesn't feel she has to hide from anything can be extremely playful, and fun. But most people don't know this part of me because I shy away from everyone. But I also constantly double check everything I do to make sure of what I'm doing is the right choice, so I'm also serious when I feel I need to be (actually all too often) an sometimes too technical when talking about things (which can be easily seen in most of my posts (I rarely ever keep things simple, always long unnecessary explanations). As was I almost wasn't going to post that one picture with my cleavage because I thought it'd not be classy, that I'd look like trash, but said f@#$ it! One's gotta let that playful girl out once in a while lest she get cabin fever within her self. Want to see more!?

I was (started HRT in 2001, first dose May 19th), I'm just late for like a month and a half now (last dose was April 19th) - have to get more, but have to find a reasonable doctor so I can be sure to keep getting them, not this on-off thing (quitting jobs, moving several times abruptly and homelessness twice caused this) that I've been doing for all too long that's been messing me up inside. So its not like I hadn't had that boost needed for a more feminine appearance.

Went through my paperwork a little while ago out of curiosity (oh, good, I didn't realize I jotted this down, started living full time as a woman February 6th 2001 as I could not remember exactly when I did)... Just added them all up, I've had 203 injections so far, should've been more, but at times I had to prolong them, spread the dosages out to last longer (what started out every 2 weeks on the dot eventually turned into 3-4 weeks, sometimes longer), or simply was without because I couldn't afford it (longest gap without was from my 159th [June 1st 2009] to my 160th shot [June 22nd 2011] over 2 years; hmm, always felt longer than that, but that was torture).

I wish I would have kept better, more detailed records of my whole transition but I really don't have much other than list of dates of when I got my shots, but did hang on to all of my prescription receipts.

I really got to go through all my photos and pick a ton out, should make for something interesting to show. Have to get up the ambition though, damn photographs are toxic to me.

You betcha  I'm just glad you took it in the way it was intended.  This is the first time I have ever been on a forum, and sometimes after posting I wonder if I should have worded it better.  Oh well, this + more = confidence.  Your sweet, have a nice night.  Dani
