Yeah, I'd have to agree; Hormones are magical.
A number of folks at the UU church know I was having my court date on Friday. I decided to share my happy news, and the minister announced it during the Sharing of Joys and Sorrows in the service. (BTW, I'm totally out, and something of an activist. Not recommended for everyone.) I decided that with the announcement, I should dress a bit more fem than my usual jeans and sweater, so I got out an old favorite.
I had some other, older photos of myself, and I put together this composite. Same tunic and leggings, different hair and shoes. On the left is Jan 15, 2017. The middle is July 8, 2016, 6 months ago, 1 month on HRT. The right is from May 6, 2016, pre-HRT. Something changed. (No more breast forms, for one. Just a push-up bra today.)
If nothing else, I think I've got better poise and posture. My face has changed subtly. I've got a total of 7 months of HRT in, and have moved to full-time as myself.
