Hi Everyone

just wanted to introduce myself here. I have been a long long time lurker on here and I cant say enough about how this forums has helped me through the tough times. Theres some really beautiful girls on here, inside and out.

Through the past 5 years I have wavered between both, been off an on hormones and through the whole ringer of emotions. I have a girlfriend and have recently come out in a blaze of tears a few months back, it was so difficult.

What I have come to realise is this feeling consumes me. I keep kidding myself that I can suppress my feelings without being the butterfly I want to be.

So here I am,..going full on into my transition and needing all the help and support I can get. I'm scared ->-bleeped-<-less but know this is the right decision and I'll probably lose a lot of friends along the way and gain a lot of others.

I have booked FFS with Dr Bart later this August and have attached some pics to as whats the point of a post without a face to go with it :)

I have also attached an idea of what I want in terms of my FFS. I guess I'm a little weird in the sense that I don't want to look 100% in the purest sense. What I mean by that is that I love girls who have a mixture of soft fem features with some sharper features. If I could flick a switch and look like Hayley Williams I would take something like that in a heartbeat.

So apologies for the really scruffy pics. I'll send some pics over me dressed up the short time. Actually it doesn't seem to let me attach anything?

Anyways love you all if someone can tell me how to attach ill post some pics up.

Chris xxxx

Congratulations not only on joining but on coming out! I know it's a difficult process and can be scary, but if you follow your heart, I believe you can't go wrong.

As a side note, I'm not 100% sure but I believe you'll need to make a certain number of posts before you can upload pictures and the like.

Good luck on your journey!

Heya Chris,

Welcome. 29 is not all that late, FYI. Kudos to you on coming out and accepting yourself. Of course you're scared; this is scary. I myself am terrified. I guess the key is just taking it all a day at a time, moment by moment.

By the way, you can post pictures within your posts by using the IMG links from a photobucket account. If you haven't used photobucket before, it's free and super easy.

See you around the forums.

Cheers,
Tegan

Ok here goes. Some of the photos I have edited to how I would probably like to look.

I'm probably looking initially at the obvious jaw and chin lip lift stuff along with hopefully some fat transfer and cheek implant of some kind. I don't know if I'm totally comfortable with the brow lift and forehead as yet as I know that with completely change how I look,..may be a bit of a shock :) I'm sorry I look like a total scruffbag in these pics I know i just took them yest.

Anyway would appreciate anyones feedback or thoughts I'm a bit lonely at the moment :(

ps : Think i screwed up formatting sorry just click one of the images to take you through to my buckets

You look fantastic! Great skin, great nose, lovely eyes. Do as you like, but I honestly don't think that FFS is strictly necessary. You're already within the realm of passing. Hayley Williams is super-cute, by the way; I think you'll do just fine emulating her look.

Hugs,
Teg

Welcome to the family Chrissie! :) If you are not on HRT yet it will do wonders for your face with redistribution. I personally don't see the need for FFS yet. You look like you are male failing now! PS-I started at age 47 myself so 29 is not too late at all.

Please review these important topics/rules

Chrissie

Thanks Tegan, Jess. I'll give them a read. I'm taking hormones but only a few months in. I personally hate my face,..thats my biggest bug bear so I wish I could hold FFS off but i have to look at it in the mirror every day :(

Its a bit of a bummer being so early in the journey knowing you have all the pain and stuff to push through, jut gotta keep focused I suppose and thats why i wanted to join, for the moral support and to meet new people.

Chris,
After you've reached 15 posts, you can PM (private message). Feel free to PM me if you need to chat. I'd be happy to offer whatever support or perspective that I can.

Cheers,
Teg

P.S. I still think you look amazing, for what it's worth. After your FFS, girl, you'll be unstoppable. ;)

By the way, you have great hair, you lucky girl. Not everyone here is blessed with that.

Ms Grace

Welcome to the forum. :)
You probably should wait until you've been on HRT for a year or so before you start thinking about FFS, especially padding and the like, since the hormones will change that anyway. Passing isn't just about looks but also presentation and confidence, that said you already have a great look anyway.
