Let me explicitly clarify what I meant with "overnight" so 3 more of you don't go into spontaneous rants that are completely out of context in regards to my original question:
When I say that I would prefer/want an "overnight" transition I mean that I'm willing to wait 6-12 months, or until I feel comfortable (there's the key in all of it) with doing something about the beard. I never once eluded to or outright stated that I thought or believed estradiol to be a "magic pill".
I'm going to go ahead and remove the link as I really do not feel argumentative today. The question was simple; you answer it with your opinions all of the time, but yet I get "supposition" from an 18 year old. I'm out. *mic drop*
Well you're trying to say that my opinion is not good just because of my age, but it's clear that I've been doing this for more than you anyway, and you are just asking for someone to imagine how you would look more feminine, which is just making suppositions, because we don't know, but you could shave, wear make up, and/or longer hair, to try yourself, and then ask if you need ffs or not, which is a personal thing, Some people might still want ffs even if they pass already. I can not tell that you pass if you're not making any effort to look feminine. I am telling you what you can do to pass.
I have to agree with Muffintop, you can add those things to make a chance rather than hrt: electrolysis, makeup lesson, personal shopping experience, therapy, trachea shave and GRS.
Now if you don't have much money, there are places where to get free clothes for trans people donated, or you can go to goodwill or other thrift shops I'm not familiar with those but you can always try, because clothes helps a lot with making your body looking for feminine, and again if you feel comfortable with the beard, that's you I guess (everyone has a different dysphoria if some), but I would suggest to start laser or electrolysis as soon as possible, and shaving because you would need that to pass. For make up, eyeliner will not make the cut, you can try looking up make up tutorials on youtube, and you should really try your best with make up, I've been using make up for a while and I'm not perfect at it, and I'm pretty basic at what I use. Good luck on your transition
