Yes, it's all bone. I have very little fat on my thighs. It's one of the odd things about me. Apparently I have all female shaped bones except for what male puberty did to me. Having found that out answered a lot of things I felt when I was young. My pelvis grew long before my chest ever filled in. I always felt my pelvis made me look girlish and I have always worn large loose shirts to hide it. My knee joint and elbow joint angles are also well within female normals. My chest didn't thicken up until I was 18-21 years old so as a teenage guy I always felt weird. Of course looking at myself in the mirror would just fuel that Dysphoria over and over again. If I only could have been born ........ You know?

It's funny that wide hip bones come up....just last evening I was having that discussion with my wife.  I'm like you Josie, my natural shape is hourglass as my hips are naturally much wider than my waist....
instead of a traditional V, and I always wondered why.  My swimming coach pointed that out to me when I was 13 in a discussion about body development....."you still have the body of a girl with your hips like that"...it was a bit of a secret "win" hearing that :)

Just sometimes?  That sounds like a positive compared to my experience:)

I think you look great...very natural.

Kora, girl I don't know why you are so self conscious. We all wish we could have started young and look like you.

Stevie, I'd say your doing pretty good!

Can't believe a guy asked me to dance last night even though I was wearing guy cloths. Had my ears pierced a few days ago. Upset about thin hair but is coming back a bit.

What are you doing wearing male clothes? You have hit the point of male fail and have the look of the girl next door. Expect it to happen more in the future.

Wow that's exciting to hear. Just feels safer when out to be dressed guyish. For work i feel it still helps also. Just not brave enough yet. I think being so tall people don't see a female as easily. So far I haven't experienced any negativity at all so I didn't think I got to the point of male fail yet. Very big compliment Thank you. Feel like lately I have been called "Sir or Mr" way more than usual. Wonder if they do it on purpose. Luving how easier I am finding it to shop for cloths etc and not even feel like I am out of place.

OMG Stevie you look so beautiful! HRT really has done wonders for you since the last I seen ya! ^^


Jalyann, girl trust me eventually you get to the point where you can wake up one day.... Say I'm going to wear whatever I want with no make up on and you'll be perfectly passing.

I mean I've been on Hormones nearly a year like. I just realized I have a slight curve on my back and my booty kinda like sticks out. Not to mention my shoulders have toned down A LOT. And it looks like my neck isn't as muscular as it once was too. Kinda helps out the dysphoria a bit for me.

Loving that smile Korra! Can't see you having trouble passing at all!
Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle!

Ok so my hair has grown some but ugh, it's too short to do anything with and too long to get to lay down. To wiry and out of control. Otherwise how bad is it, my face that is. Give me your all. I know some things I will likely want to change like my nose and chin but everyone says to see what HRT does first.





Raye, you look very passable to me girl!

I was speaking while snapping the second picture, don't know why but I like it.

I've been coming here, mostly just reading with some posts here and there, for a while now and figure maybe it's time to throw my pic in the bunch. My voice sucks still but I tend to get gendered correctly some of the time. I'm curious what you all think though. I also know I need to work on my eyebrows but they have a nice shape to them just need to thin them out. Damn glasses are making them look big and bushy in this pic.


Raye

First Thank You Moomin that means alot to me. And oh Korra Dear please don't think like that. Eventually you'll be happy with the changes jgravitt01.

I can see some changes Amalina! :3

I DO have some thoughts to note before I disappear again for a month or more again... I'VE been very fortunate for where I live in Williamson County. You'd think Fairview would have ignorant people at every corner merely because of the # of Churches located. Thing is Williamson County has very intelligent and open-minded individuals who live here as well. Now I would love to live in Franklin, but economically speaking for me at this time that is not possible. People look passing in their own way because these same people realize Women come in many Shapes and Sizes. Generally, if all they see is Soft Skin, Voluptuous Lips, or Fat a Typical Male wouldn't have - people don't think secondly that this isn't a Cis Female, regardless breasts being presented or not. Never mind the shape of your hands - eventually those will lose muscle and soften up a bit.

My Best advice is to not over think it, remain calm, confident, and beautiful. Because once you think of your own insecurities you'll fall prey to cynical thoughts. And trust me you don't need that sort of behavior going on in your mind. I've been fortunate that I started HRT @ 24 years of age with being prescribed Prometrium the First Month, instead of later. Sure a negative thought will come in mind at some point. But I just tend to throw it down when I look back on who I use to be. So taking those Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly Photos really help show you how much you've changed and become the Woman you are today.

And I don't mean just take Frontal Pictures I mean EVERYWHERE. Legs, Feet, Hands, Back, Side, Shoulders, Waist, Hips, ETC. It's a lot of time to get adjusted to that mentality or physicality, but once you do and compare them you'll see those subtle changes instead of focusing on Chest, Shoulders, and Face that most look at first.
