Electrolysis appointment for Saturday. My facial hair is greatly being eliminated. That is just so nice to have a smooth normal face. I feel great & I'm still excited with confirming my correct hormone levels. Now if the clouds would go away so I could see the lunar eclipse life would be perfect almost.

I found a blog post from a local mtf and could identify with many of her experiences, which I told her made me happy. This really alleviated my loneliness <3

The kids at work were rowdy today and one of them got talking about his trip to Thailand next month.
Started joking and talking about ladyboys which made me quite mad as I listened.

The he joked that I would look good as a woman.

Gave a glare back but inside I was a little happy.

Little do they know.

Why do we need an MtF only version of this thread? Seems a little exclusive.

No idea. I just post in whichever I see first.

No idea. I just post in whichever I see first.

I opened this nice/happy news type thread on purpose for "mtF women" only. There are plenty of other threads to use for other type posts, .....

I've been on hrt for nearly a week now, which I realize isn't much time to start analyzing how it's affecting me. I've been trying to keep my mind off of it because of that, but I've been realizing something wonderful anyways. Normally I'm constantly tense and twitchy from anxiety, but for once in my life I feel very calm and in control of myself. I feel like all of the tension and aggressiveness that testosterone was forcing into me before has just vanished. I feel so happy that I'm just crying now from that realization, and I never cried from happiness before. I had some lingering doubts before, but this is already confirmation for me that I am making the right choice.

That's fabulous hun, I had exactly the same experience when I started my hormones, just an overall feeling of calmness and peace. My dysphoria has barely raised it's head either!

I find myself staring at peoples behaviour now, analysing it and wondering how much of it is tied into testosterone. Things such as aggressive driving, arguing over nothing, stressing and the like.  I wonder if a lot of people might benefit from having less T in their systems!

I have scheduled my GCS for April 6th!

Congrats, Riley!!! You're further along than me. Who are you going to?

I looked at photos of myself this morning from the beginning of my HRT and living full time and then tonight I saw a thread "HRT (MTF people at least three years on it) has it met your expectations so far?" and a bunch of questions were asked and they helped me focus on how much both my mind and body have really changed. And when I got dressed this morning to go to lunch with my mom and her friends, I don't think I've ever looked as good as I did today. Otherwise, it was a hot, muggy, depressing day because of how bad my hip and back hurt.

New little dot patches today, I change every Thursday & Sunday. The estrogen always make me feel so nice with fresh patches. I may ask my doc soon about pellets for estrogen. That would be nice to just forget about it & go about my life. Beauty Salon/Electrol appointment for Saturday. I love those days. I always leave with such smooth skin. My lady is using NuFree to remove every facial hair & this is my 4th session. It is very easy & each time those unwanted hairs are growing back much thinner & less course. Have fun all GF's, life is great.

Got a new dress today. I ordered it in size 40 (german sizing) which is about 12 / lrg in the US. I didn't really expect it to fit very nicely since i'm very large with my 6,3''. I also always thought that i have a normal-sized ripcage for my size, but as i tried the dress on it fits perfectly. Not only that, the included waist belt (is that the correct term?  ) was actually to wide, even on the smallest hole.

I was positively surprised and instantly went on to measure my ripcage (never did that before, maybe i should have ^.^).
It's at the widest part 31.1in (79cm). That's really small for my size, i guess? (Still looking for comparison values)

Well anyway, i'm really happy right now.

I can understand your feelings here. I work with a ftm whom has shown just how much testosterone fuels the way men act. I also look foward to that time each month when my natural levels drop and I can be myself again. It leaves me with such longing to stay that way forever. Its only a matter of time before I start hormones. Then again I dread the other side of my cycle but this is a happy thread.

I had some quality dark chocolate with almond slivers in it today just leaving me in a state of Zen. Not quite import but as good as chocolate gets in the states at least. So glad i have a few pieces left for tomorrow.

I'm going to be Little Red Riding Hood for halloween, nice costumes in my size online are only $50 without the white hose or high heel shoes. I'm excited about going to a Halloween party to see some of my friends now. This will be fun. Estrogen must be kicking in, I use patches & always on the first day of new patches I get so girly like wanting to dress up as Little Red Riding Hood, but it feels good.

I've been feeling down this week, but watching Sona's video lit a spark in me to not give up,  not give in to shame and guilt.

Positive inspiration,  Positive validation. 


Thank you Sona!

I had two things that made me happy today

• I went to Costco to pickup my prescription that was renewed for Finasteride. (I get everything else at Callon-Lorde) They asked for my last name and DOB. I told her and she asked whats the first name on the prescription, I said it should be Sydney. She had a puzzled look on her face. I told her it was <old male name>, but the last pharmacists said they changed it last time and my prescription would have the correct name next time on the label. She said oh, yes, he changed it in one place but not the other. She then asked if the gender should be Female. I said yes since that is what all my ID's say. I asked her why the name didn't match when the doctor originally sent the prescription with my new name. She told me that since I already had a profile under my old name, the computer matched based on last name and DOB. She changed it and corrected my gender properly and printed a new label for me
  
  Now the good part: She told me she had no idea about me untill she looked me up in the computer. She asked if I ever had voice surgery. I told her that I hadn't. She said wow and that a cis female friend of hers has the exact same voice as me. Made me feel real good about my voice and in general.
  
  


• Later tonight I went into Walgreens. (Keep in mind that I'm 6'7" and I was wearing 2 1/2 inch heels) There was a long line and I went to pickup a hand basket and this 50 year old guy who was maybe 5'8" says "My God your a tall Woman!! What are you, 7 feet tall???" is a extremely loud voice. Everyone just turned at my direction and looked in amazement. I just smiled and said, I'm only 6'7". (The voice complement I received earlier today boosted my confidence, so I was extremely confident in this situation and wasn't nervous at all.) He then asked if I played basketball. I said know, but I loved Volleyball. He said, "You probably didn't even have to jump to get over the net." Then he walked away and I continued my shopping without incident.
