Hi, my name is Samatha, two questions

[jmgraydz]

I am really excited for hrt have blood tests scheduled may 15, i do have curiousitys on what people think about how hormones will go facially, i am 30 so i understand that i have to have realistic expectations of what will change.  Also advice.... my best friend who i consider a sister we were hanging out last night and she told me oh no you will never be a real woman.. which hurt... i dont think she meant anything mean by it but still..........

I'm 53, started HRT aged 51. I've been happy with the facial changes.

Someone who says you'll never be a real woman is either mean or ignorant. Either way doesn't reflect well on them, right?

You are real. You are a woman. Therefore, you are a real woman. Period.

If you feel driven to educate them, you might explain how everyone is entitled to their gender, and that when you are living as a female, that is your gender. You don't take kindly to people who want to take your gender away from you.
