With Mariah's help and like's reply we'll get this posted correctly to this thread; I removed all the parentheses.

Here goes for your comment.

1973 (age 16 - male)
This picture of Slim and me (my sister Kathy to my right) was taken at Thasos, a Greek island near where we resided our second year living at Greece.
1976 (age 20 - male)
This picture of Slim and me was taken when I did not know the term 'stealth' in those days, but that was what I had been doing since August 1974 when I began my transition. Neither my dad (to my left) nor any other relative had the slightest idea what I had been doing for two years as well as the future that I planned, my feminine protesting notwithstanding.
1981 (age 24 - male)
This picture was what people saw in 1981. ERT was too late to stop that shadow. Oh well, it would be gone in a few years anyway.
1985 (age 29 - female)
This picture was from my Pima Community College student ID. This is similar whom both a diner and a gas station operator saw that day a month or so earlier when I appeared as Sharon to them; they did not recognise me from when they last saw me as my male predecessor Nick (1980). Now don't I appear chipper! Look, no more shadow! It's a wonder what ERT, plucking, and electrolysis did since 1979. I boldly wore no make-up that day of student ID pictures.
1988 (age 32 - female)
This next photograph was from my Food Stamps ID card. My counsellor was correct – long hair with the part in the middle made my long face appear longer. I later clipt off 14 inches and still had hair shoulder length. Of course I kept it - I have three of them.
1996 (age 40 - female)
This next picture was from my 1996 MVD drivers licence. Not bad for an MVD picture. The MVD picture that followed this picture made my teeth appear black. AGH! I refuse to post my current MVD picture, it is THAT bad.
2015 (age 59 - female)
This final photograph, for my passport, is my present appearance. The Passport agency prohibits applicants from smiling in their official picture – so I smirked. I did not want that stern look, eh.
