Oh please tell me you're not gonna fix that gap in your teeth is bloody adorable! ^.^
Pretty incredible what happens in such a short gap in time huh? (Sorry for the pun. it really is super cute though!)
Also I love the jammies.

Lol thank you I have always hated that gap between my teeth I do want to get it fixed but that is the last thing I want done now and the pjs are very comfortable I could live in them.

[natalie.ashlyne]

you look younger and better now Kendra

[Sarah_P]

Kendra, your changes are AMAZING!

[Kendra]

Thank you! 

I have seen so many amazing results here - and I know it isn't just about looks, if we are happier that adds so much more and is the most important thing.  But yeah it's fun to see the change.

[Michelle_P]

Awesome, Kendra!   You look 10 years younger and full of life.

I hate my gap too, but other people seem to like it and I don't get it.

Kendra,  Your change is amazing, your whole transition has been amazing to follow.

I haven't posted an update here in a very long time because of my crummy internet situation. The picture on the left was taken a few months before starting HRT. The one on the right was taken last week just before I went out clubbing. I have now been on HRT almost 3 years.

I just joined here after seeing your before and after photo on someone's Flickr page. I was stunned. As a 63-year-old part-time Tgirl I found it inspirational. I'd love to learn more about you but can't figure out how to add a profile here with a photo nor can I figure out how to contact you. You can contact me at miranda dot truesdell at gmail dot com. I'd love to connect with you and be your friend.

OMG. Seeing these pictures never fails to make me cry. It has happened a few times in person, too, when a new friend gains enough trust in me to show me her "before" picture. Everyone is so beautiful. I get a mix of sadness that I could never look so good, with just a tinge of hope that maybe, just maybe... it's incredibly powerful, and my stock in Kleenex goes up again.

Hi Miranda! The post you replied to is over a year old, not sure if you will find her here still or not. Profile pics and PMs are disabled until 15 posts. A mod will be along shortly with a greeting and ToS that talks about that, but if you want to beat them to the punch you can post in the introduction forums.

Onward we go!

Wow kendra what a transformation you look fantastic, so many wonderful people on here perhaps in 50 years or so I might put my self on here.

Sara, I saw your avatar picture for the short time you had it up and I saw a woman in her early 40s who wasn't unattractive. I though you passed better than my avatar and better than my current appearance.

I wanted to keep these two year updates going for everyone to see how transition progresses. But I kind of spaced it off until now. Sadly my old B&A post will be missing the pictures because photobucket doesn't work like it use to.  So I will instead provide the link to the post and the pics separate. The pictures are in line with the post.

This post will just be photos with no compelling story. But they are all from the past two years and in order from then until now!

These were taken just after the last pic in the previous thread













these two were the end of 2015 in my life and the start of 2016















2016 ends and now we're in 2017. I had breast aug in December of 2016 and these photos are after











And here we are today!

Well there you have it everyone, two more years of transition for a total of nearly five. I hope this helps all my fellow sisters in there first steps towards transition. It gets better and you will finally start to feel proud of yourself for once and the world actually likes you when they see your true self shine. It feels like the world is no longer grey and you can finally see color.  Living through transition isnt always easy or positive. But when you look in the mirror after all your hard work and struggles. You'll just feel the warmest happiest pride for yourself and nothing can match it. See you all in the future. =)


Also the pictures are on a limited timer that I have no control over. So when they expire this is all that will be left. Sorry for when that happens. But nothing I can do to change that! Enjoy my little story and I hope it gives you the inspiration to keep pushing forward no matter how hard life will test you through transition.

@Kyra553 that's an amazing evolution. Congrats! So it all happened in a 5 year time span? Also, I noticed in some of the earlier pics you had an hourglass figure, if you don't mind me asking, were you wearing a girdle? You looked great so I just want to know your secret

[Roll]

I am so glad this was the first thing I looked at after waking up. I am in tears watching the transition, and I think the hope is palpable!

[tgirlamg]

Kyra!!!

Confident... Radiant... Happy!!!!...

Kudos to you sister!!!!

Onward we go!

Everyday for work I wear a waist cincher and if work out I wear a rubber one. It helped the most out of everything until hormones help move fat around. Which takes years.

Yes I remember those days of "is this even worth it". You're in the learning phase girl! Hold in there, keep learning about your body and life. We didn't get the privilege of parents or friends to teach us about womanhood growing up or even the life lessons during adultescence. So we have to fumble around for awhile until we understand it for ourselves. I still consider myself more of a half teenager than a woman in her 20s. That is because of how much information I still dont know and life knowledge I missed out on. We have to go through two puberties! Plus we have to learn a whole new childhood of knowledge in a short span of time. But the hardest is unlearning what we were forced to learn growing up because of our body's fault during creation. Unlearning what society, family, and life taught us as a boy is the hardest part to overcome.  I'm glad I could help you though because these forums especially the before and after section kept me going the most when I felt down.   

Stay strong, stay determined. It will get hard, then harder, and then really really hard. Then its like you're in the eye of the storm and everything is calm from there forward.
