What made you happy today? For mtF members only, please.

[kaitylynn]

Looked at some current pictures of my body and realized just how much has changed!  Was caught off guard and while there is still a long journey ahead, I am totally happy!

60 pounds down, Yoga, HRT and really great friends...yeah, a lot to be happy and thankful for!

[Meghan]

Great news Luanne!  Working with a counselor has been really positive and it will likely help you out a lot.

Well hello Megan Jayne! 

Happy b-day Robyn

I have been looking forward this for awhile now, and I am happy to start new journey of my transition. I plan to go to this appointment with full makeup, wig and nice dress I just bought on Sunday for this occasion.

More & more ppl call me mam or sweetie even when I'm not wearing any makeup or trying to be very feminine. So that's very nice. I'm lucky that my face has nice soft features & when I'm finally free from any facial hairs that will be so nice....OMG such a relief to be done with those nasty hairs, love my new electrolysis. Next session stopping by my plastic surgeon for a dental block/shots then to electro lady 15 minutes away so I'll not feel a thing as she cleans up my upper lip. Oh happy dance when it's 100% smooth. Oh what women go through to look pretty......

My feet have actually shrunk. Such a happy girl about that. Normally I'm a medium width 10 & now a normal width 9 almost fits. I love nice shoes & boots with a 2-3 inch heel. I've lost about 25 on the Atkins diet which did it I guess. Happy dance without my feet hurting......, kind of feel like dancing.

I went to get my hair done today (about an every 8 week thing at present), it is getting to be longer and so feminine. I'm going for an asymmetrical bob sort of look with long sides. That and a brow wax from some supportive ladies and i was smiling as wide as my face would reasonably allow.

I'm looking forward to sharing pics in this community as soon as I feel it is time

I just love salon day.

Hi Francis and everyone!

I'm tending to an old shoulder injury right now (partially torn rotator cuff that is tearing more) so I may not be on as much as I'd like to but now that I'm off work for a spell it will be more.

Anyway, I think my feet have shrunk too; I wear a size 10 in heels and an 11 in work boots (as well as dress boots); the 11's are now big to the point where I need to replace them and the 10's are getting loose as well.

Long live Atkins!  I've lost nearly 75 pounds with it and am on a modified Atkins schedule that another cop I worked when I started devised - working great!

Be safe and keep an eye on those storms - Aliceville is getting its ass kicked right now by a confirmed tornado and y'all look to be right in line.

I went to my therapist today, which was perfect because when I woke up this morning I had clarity and realized that the path to transition is what I am to do. I am a woman, inside, and I have repressed and buried her long enough. So in therapy I was giddy with excitement and told my therapist my revelation, and she agreed, and we are getting HRT lined up and she is giving me a letter. I am excited, scared, happy, joyous! It has truly been a good day for me!!

Well, the other night I was feeling inspired (okay maybe just a little drunk  ) But I went ahead and bought my first wig, and it was delivered today! Even thought at first I was thinking "Ohh what did you do", actually couldn't be happier about it  In some way I wish I didn't have to buy a wig but... testosterone can be a jerk. Anyway I'm really excited to share, like a lot more than I thought I'd ever be. Sorry I didn't take a full face picture, but its kind of two fold. First I still have a beard (makes things easier in boy life), also still kind of worried about showing my whole face to the internet, ya I know that's a little paranoid.

Awww!  Congratulations on your purchase.   Yeah, I've posted ONE picture on this forum and only one and it was of me with a beard, desperately looking for some sort of affirmation.  I was looking for hope and I totally got shot down.  So kudos to you for being super smart and not having to deal with the nasties 'round these parts.

I love your brows and eyes, btw!

PS.  I no longer have a beard and I'm 6 months into HRT, starting laser very soon, but I refuse to put up another picture here.  Way too cliquish for me.

[WildPollyAppeared]

Mallory, thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your first picture, but just so you know you made my mood go sky high Since I posted that I'm pretty sure my heart has either beat twice or 3 million times I'm not sure cause I was so nervous. Also just noticed in the second picture I tried so hard to look only at my camera lens and not the screen it made me go cross eye 

[Sunhawk]

I got an hour of tourture, uhh ... I mean electrolysis for free and knowing that in 3 more days I'll be leaving for Thailand.

Aww, you're very welcome. We each have our own starting points, but yours (at least what you shown) looks to be really good. Best of luck on the road to transition!

Marlo. That is so nice that you are a Atkins woman, that's great. I've been on it for about a year & love it. It's the best "diet" I've ever been on. Have you ever made the egg & cream cheese pancakes? They are delish & only 1-2 carbs from the cream cheese. I love my Atkins sisters, we all help each other so so much. Take care girl friend & have a great day. Life is good for me...............

Marlo, It is so nice having smaller feet. I've always loved wearing heels since being a normal little girl playing dress up in my mother's heels & red lipstick long ago. I just love nice shoes & boots. Oh my, my closet is just not big enough. Not many ppl do it but I pick up the nicest shoes at thrift stores, so cheap & most are like new....A normal width 10 fits me very well. Oh & it was nice when my electrolyisis lady gave me a pair of her boots a couple of years ago, size 10, they were tight on her but loose & comfortable for me. I wear them al the time.....TC & good luck your way.

1-Yesterday I had a wig fitted and styled to my head and face.(no way I can grow my own at this point.
2-Getting started on my HRT today.

Grinning coyly,

I had a meeting with my trans group tonight  and a couple of girls joined who are just like me! For some time I felt a bit alienated, because many of the women in the group are much older than me, stay with their wives during and after transitioning and have life experiences that are very different from mine. The new girls used to be gay boys like me and when they talk about their experiences, I have so much recognition with them, it's like looking in the mirror. We instantly became friends and on top of that, one of them is a hairdresser who will help me with my eternal bad hairday.

I feel so happy, thought I even was an outsider as a transgender. Turned out to be untrue

[stephaniec]

yeah , I felt the same way when I changed doctors and started going to the LGBT health clinic.

[Meghan]

Since my appointment with Gender Dysphoria next Friday.  So today I decide gradually change my appearance to be more feminine. So when I take my shower this morning I using Anarchy for her for body wash (I love the fragrant) and body spray. I also apply little makeup and some lipsticks go to work.

While I was assist one of my co-worker with her computer.

She comments:   You're smell nice like a woman
Me: Thanks (in low voice and blush)
She turns around and look at me said: Nice makeup and lips color
I was blush some more and could not said a thing.

At lunch time we talk and I told her while I begin to put on makeup and female fragrance.  I told her the story about my transition. She so understands and support since her sister also a Transsexual FtM.

I think I begin my coming out as a transwoman.  I am so happy and nervous girl today.  I will be sleep well tonight.
