I really liked your post Michelle, and yours too Kathy.
That I thought I would go ahead and do it too :')
This is really scarry for me and I may deleate atleast the guy pics, it doesn't even feel like I was ever that person.
I think HRT has been good to me and I will soon hit my 1 year mark

Started at 26.
I have few pics of me as a guy, I hated how I looked, but I tried my best to fill the role

I am very happy with what transition has brought me so far, not just in my physical changes, but in my mind, not that it has changed much in my mind, but I have this huge sense of calm and clarity.
I no longer worry about the future.
I want to return to uni to get a degree so I can get out of manual labour.
I want a nice job wher people will respect me.
I hope my changes can encourage people, because back when I started it was hard to see the girl inside.
I had stopped wearing female clothes when I could only see a man. It was probably 15 year since I wore female clothes, before transition obviously lol
This entire process has changed my life in every way for the better.
I am in no way finished, but it can only get better
