Hey guys,
I have decided to make an account on here. I have been struggling with gender dysphoria for years. I can remember it clear as day, I begged God to change me from a boy to a girl night after night when I was about 6. I would play with girl toys and wanted to do girl things when I was younger. My parents would get mad at me and tell me no and I always felt like I had to hide it from everybody. I remember drawing on paper when I wished I looked like as a girl and fantasizing. I can remember having my barbie doll collection and how one man asked me why I had it and if it was for my sister and my mom gave him some excuse and I have always been embarrassed about it since then. I would hide in the clothes racks and pretend to wear women's clothing where nobody could see me when I was younger too. Later in life I thought it would go away if I just got a girlfriend. Well I have had 9 now and most of them didn't want to "date a girl". That really hurt me when the 6th and 7th ones said that to my face. I didn't mean too. I just cared so much for them and I always took my guard down around them because I'm very trusting and open-hearted and open-minded and I trust and care about people and relationships. I found one way to deal with my dysphoria was to make a female character on all of my games. (I'm a gamer) I know that sounds stupid, but hear me out... it was the one true way I could get away with expressing who I felt I really was inside. I could interact with other people who didnt see what gender i biologically was... When I look in the mirror I am horrified by what I see. It is not who I am in my dreams and not who I feel I am inside. I was raised in a home where I would always hear my parents talking down about some trans person in public and it makes me sad. I see on TV trans people in movies always being made fun of. I didn't know that I could just take some pills everyday that I could turn my gender into who I truly was. I have tried to cover it up with drugs, but nothing was satisfying enough to distract from the dysphoria. I have been treated for depression and have been presribed multiple things for adhd and clinical depression. I work at a car delearship and make ready lot and sold vehicles. I will make enough once I finish school and will be able to afford an apartment and my car payment along with my medicine. I am almost finished with college, I'm a senior. I'll be 23 this year in october. I have feminine legs already and my chest is not fully grown. My feet have grown a little bit in the past few weeks too. Just a little bit tho. I'm 5 '10 135 - 145lb guy.  I have about 3% body fat so I feel I won't have to much trouble transitioning. It's mostly in my thighs if there's any fat anyways lol. I think my hips will widen a bit though if I start this year. I hope the medicine doesn't effect my appetite as I have a small eating disorder
I want to know if you guys think my face will change after a year or two on hrt enough to pass as a female? 
This is me tonight



Do you guys think my face will pass after a year or two on the feminization stack? I will probably order it this week. ^^ so excited. I have to tell my parents so I have written a really good letter for them. :) I'm also scared but I know that my work won't really care much if they find out. My boss is gay and has hired many LGBT people so I think it will all be okay.
I also come here in support because I know that if I go through with this my life is going to get crazy soon. I have to figure out if I want to be a rockstar, a recording studio engineer, or a live sound engineer for a band or church. >.< a lot of things to think about. And I really should do this now rather than later because I really don't want to be seen as a male. >. < it isn't how my brain works and I'm tired of acting an faking everything I do socially....  :,/

Hi and welcome to Susan's. I know your knew and may not have known this but self medication isn't open for dicussion. I think based on your picture you definitely have some potential. I would think HRT should do wonders for you. I look forward to seeing you around the forums. Good luck and Hugs

Hi kriscm14,

Thanks for sharing your story, and welcome to Susan's Place! :)

May here can relate to what you've posted, and there is no shortage of people here who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with you as you journey to find yourself. Judging by your pics, you'll have no problems passing once the HRT has done its magic.

Take care, and I hope you get as much out of this forum as I have.

Hugs,

Chloe
