So, I haven't stalked your posts on the forums yet to find more photos of you (<3), but I think you're super cute too just from looking at your profile pic!  I've been full time for a year now, HRT for 18 months, and get compliments all the time now from strangers.  It's weird hearing them and it's taken me a couple months now to start getting used to the idea that maybe they're right.  30 years of living as a boy can really cloud your self-image.  6 months ago it was different though.  I think the voice, attitude, mannerisms, confidence, and how I carry myself are finally become automatic/permanent as I just go out each day and live my life without thinking about it!

I could probably pretend to be a boy if I let my facial hair grow out for about a week and groom it well, pull my hair back under that baseball cap, and wear horribly baggy boy clothes, yuck!

So, ahm, where do you live?  Maybe we can get coffee. 

Yup, the feeling when you finally are used to it, stop giving a damn, and everything works even better. :3

After 1 year+ on laser I finally intend to switch to electro, which means I've been watching my "beard" grow for 2 monthes now... Yuck indeed. Still the beard is thin and rare, invisible from afar, so people keep gendering me ma'am... whatever. xD

A lot of trans still see the "pre-transition" self in the mirror which makes it difficult for them to realize they are doing well. I have this problem too from time to time - I look in the mirror and realize I'm super ugly and masculine Most of the time it's just my mood.

I live in Paris, so quite far away from you sadly. A coffee would have been nice.

Thanks much!

Weight wise, I started out 235lbs and lost weight over first 6 mths prior to starting HRT.. I weighed 190lbs when I started HRT in April, and now weigh about 180lbs.  I'm not sure if the curves are from residual weight or just genetics, but they're there.  I'd like to lose another 15 lbs or so to be just under 170.

It's hard to shake seeing "him" in the mirror sometimes.. it's like the mind flips back and forth randomly.  I think over time it'll be more and more rare, but its probably always there somewhat..   It sucks when it happens 8(

Mariah - Thanks so much

Markie - I feel like I somewhat pass maybe from 10ft or so, but closeup wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.  Voice is also still a big thing for me.

Super cute!!! I love the hair, cowlneck and skirt together.

With warmth,

Thanks for feedback!   I think I'm a work in progress, but getting there..

You're going to be quite the little heart breaker. You remind me of a skater girl. I believe that you could pass easily. You shouldn't be too hard on yourself, and smile. You're going to have no problem turning heads. Congratulations on your start date. It's going to be one heck of a ride for you. The only hard part will be finding your personal style.

On a side note. I love comics, cartoons, and anime. I am more of a Marvel girl. That is actually Cloak and Dagger on my arm. But as long as the characters have a good storyline, I'm in!

You mean to tell me there are comic book fangirls here???

just started month 6 do i pass?

Thanks I bought cowlneck at Kohls and skirt on clearance at Loft..  Hair I got cut and colored weekend before my first day at work FT..  I love it but want it longer..

Do I look at least decent?

More than decent!  You look fantastic and pass without question!

Gia  maybe thats a confidence  issue because i had alook at the last one the close of you smiling  and i can't  see anything masculine
Just a very happy girl  and your body shape is good too with that smile you come across as very feminine  and attractive
With the voice yes that might be the only marker  we had a beautiful  transwoman come into the shop the other day  i picked up on her voice ( she was not trying to hide too much)  but other than that my friend sarah remarked how beautiful  she  was ,
There is always voice surgery  as i can see you don't  need any ffs etc ....you're very lucky

[Rachel_Christina]

Korra, you look beautiful!
Your hair is so long too, can't wait to get ther!

So I posted a few pictures around a year ago, when I was still wearing my wig. By now my hair has grown quite a bit, if I may say so.

I will start hormones in 11 days, so these are probably the last pre-everthything pictures.

Share your comments pls! Thnx

Emma, you're PRE-HRT?  Damnation, girl!  From those photos I originally thought you'd been on HRT for a year or so.  You're going to do fine.

Oh my god girl, we look very alike

I'm a comic book fan girl too, but i've been lazy and lately just kept to watching the shows instead of reading the actual comics lol.

Look decent? I only wish I looked so decent. You're stunning.
