Two years and two Months in the making

[Damara]

Here's my before... look how happy I was!



This is my after... look at what I think of my before!

[Shawn Sunshine]

Yeah, the site is back up!

Ok, this picture isn't the best, the lighting is low which makes me look a little paler than I am, but I am quite pale. I am doing electro every week so only get about a day where I can shave and not look deformed, so not much time to figure out makeup. I have long way to go, but I am starting to like the changes to my face. I think I am doing ok for 5 months at 42.

October? 2013 about 10 months prior.


2/3 5 months

You totally remind me of Annie Lennox

Awhh, thank you! <3 The funny thing is someone else also mentioned this on another site. She must be part of my "DNA", I used to love her videos growing up in the 80's, need to check youtube...

[missymay]

That's quite the transformation; you look really pretty 

[LittleEmily24]

I havent been here in a while but i wanted to come back when I hit 1 year, and here I am

It is 1 in the morning and today is officially my 1 year mark ♥♥ I still have so much more change to see in my future and i got my boobs done. On friday im going to get one of my approval letters for SRS and my psychologist knows Marci Bowers personally, so we'll see how that goes =3

Here is my progress <3

Me in Cancun on April 2013


Real Me, Today(or yesterday at this point), February 16 2015

And its still just the beginning <3 I still have so much to look forward to!

You looked a bit like Syd Barrett before your transition.


You look super great Damara.  Your so pretty.  I really love your thick hair,  im so jealous

He's pretty so that's ok! XD Also, thank you! I am happy I have my hair as I tried the wig route several years ago when it was shorter and I could not pull that off! D;

And thanks so much to everyone! I hope hormones help!! I am like... clawing at my soul to get them.. Not sure if that's safe. haha! I'm just starting to feel crazy and desperate!

Damara, you look really pretty, and as I've said before, I find it hard to believe you are not even on HRT yet.
If I may ask, is it just growing out your hair and facial hair removal, or you've done anything else too in your transition so far?

[Brenda E]

Leslie, that's a rather extraordinary transformation - extremely dramatic results.  And love the purple hair.

I haven't had any facial hair removal yet! D: That's another thing I'm working on! Living in the sticks sucks! lol! But thank you so much! Honestly I wish that I didn't feel so nice when I get kind words because I feel weird and vain. I don't look all that great in real life. I know what angles look good in photos and what lighting etc.. but still it's so encouraging to have people be encouraging! (go figure! lol!)

[cindy16]

I haven't had any facial hair removal yet! D:

Wow. That's even more surprising.

Btw, there is no reason to feel weird or vain just because of someone's kind words.
I know it is easier said than done, as I too have never bothered much about my appearance but now suddenly feel conscious about it, and wonder if I am becoming too vain.
Anyway, I hope you are able to find the right medical help, for HRT and anything else you may need. I can relate to the 'living in the sticks' part too, as my search beyond the city and state that I live in has still not yielded results.

Well I haven't been on Susan's much in a few months, but I know I always enjoyed seeing before and after pictures when I was starting out so I figured I would update mine for anyone who is curious.
The photos aren't the best and I'm planning to make a more formal timeline thing soon but in the meantime here it is:

This is me before transition in Fall of 2013:



And this is me in February 2015 (roughly 8.5 months into HRT):

[antonia]

Awesome, thanks for posting, looks like you are having a great transition!
