Alright, so I usually do a one pic/two pic before-and-after, but I want to do a brief montage - somewhat for my own benefit. This has been an evolution and will continue to be so, one that I have a habit of losing sight of and forgetting my progress as a result. So here goes..
Summer of 2015
Spring of 2016 - a few months before I came out as gender fluid
Summer of 2016, I came out as GF and dove into makeup experimentation
Late 2016, I had finally "realized" I was trans and began coming out to family and close friends. This was first time out as a girl with my BFF, was called "miss" by the hunky bartender
My mother and I on my birthday January 2017, I came out publicly as transtioning
Summer of 2017, I'd been on hormones for a few months and really started to see changes..I had also ditched my wigs, was out full time, and had chosen my name, Aria
November 2017, I was one of six girls at an overnight getaway, the only trans one but was fully accepted by everyone I was with
Sometime early spring of this year, I was seeing much more of me without the need of tons of makeup
Last week, wearing only mascara. I don't always see girl without makeup, but I really come through here
And finally, my current favorite pic of me, taken two days ago
