It gets kind of sketchy from there. I get divorced and married again. Had kids. Joyous but a reminder of what I will never be. I basically let myself go.


Yes. Substantial changes. You are still walking along the unknown road. Yes. Family is the most important. Always be optimistic.

BTW, I seldom show my old photos in male mode.

Just do it.

I will preface this by saying I'm not as glamorous as some of you. I actually keep a plain appearance as I'm a busy gal, but occasionally doll it up.

Anyway from the beginning. Me at 4 years old. I had long hair. I was happy:


This is me at 8 or 9. Disneyworld and EPCOT




At home. Mom had just come back from Toronto Canada.



11 years old. Puberty. I cried a lot. I hated myself. But I had some happy times.



I hated the camera so I have basically zero pics of me in high school. There are one or two from the year book which I just left back in the old country.

I hated myself so much I attempted to take my own life numerous times. All unsuccessful.

In 2001 at age 22 I met my first wife and we got married. I moved to New York from the old country. I spent many hours on the net looking at transition but I was afraid I wouldn't have any of my own biological kids. So I just buried it and tried to make the best of it as a married man.

And lots and lots of drinking.



It gets kind of sketchy from there. I get divorced and married again. Had kids. Joyous but a reminder of what I will never be. I basically let myself go.



Then I got fed up, realized that I couldn't hide who I am and broke down and started transition.

Very early into HRT like less than a month. I'm changing.



Then 6 months or so. Boom.



Went to court to change my name in October. Dressed for the occasion. 10 months HRT.



And today:





Hope you enjoyed.

I know I've enjoyed seeing the transformation in person and see it all hear in one post is amazing. You've come a long way and your journey has certainly paid off and you look amazing.

Me too but you do anything once. And I'm not keeping them up for too long anyway.

Thanks! Believe it or not you've given me hope along the way and major encouragement for which I'll always be grateful.

Whoa that is amazing. Did you waist train or is that just HRT?
  •  

archlord

probably just genetics to be honest . I was born with a very small frame and skiny. I trained like mad for 6 year to acquire the shape you see in the before picture and this is the only picture i took lolllll ( i was 128 lbs before gym).  I had similar waist pre-hrt  but yes i am waist training since 3 week


Chest measurement was 42 inch and went down to 35 inch(including breast tissue) .  Waist went down from 32 inch to 27.5 inch.   Arm went down from 17.5 inch to 13 inch

Same here with genetics (see my pics of me as a kid). I was thinking of waist training as I would like a little more curve.

I was 34 waist as a guy but 27 now.

  •  

archlord

Oh waist training is not fake it actually works. I see the difference ( i reduced the size of it twice allready)  You should definitivly get one.  I wear mine 8 hour a day
  •  

iKate

Sounds good.

Right now I'm 41-27-39. An inch down to 26 would be great.

Everyone is looking so remarkable!  I was doing an update on my surgery for a plastic surgery site and thought I would share my before and after I made to post there. The picture on the left is from February of this year and the one on the right is from Dec 19th. Not even a year yet.



Here's one that kinda shows my bust development/augmentation.
