Jess, your FaceApp result is interesting, as the algorithm didn't change much beyond the inevitable brow line and your cheeks.  You are definitely getting there.  The 14 months of HRT have certainly had their effect!

And yes, the new hairstyle is certainly helpful!
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Everyone must be told... when I said "only my hairdresser knows for sure" in Jayne's thread.  I was speaking of my dear friend Laurie.  She took me aside and said "listen girl, you're parting your hair on the wrong side!  She fixed it and it made a huge difference to even my worse critic...myself.
Her advice is always welcome and has helped me immensely, as has Michelle's!

Little things can make a big difference.  You won't know what effect something can have until you try it out.

Hugs,

Wait! What? What do you your parting your hair on the wrong side? Jess parts her hair on the right side? As do I? OMG, am I parting my hair on the wrong side or is this just a YHMV thing?

It was actually a mistake on my part.  Before "Jess" my hair was always parted near center or on the left.  In my previous avatar my hair was parted on the right, as is my newest.  Laurie styled my hair last time, but with learning so much, it's the practice that makes it right.  My hairdresser was the first to tell me my part was on the wrong side, not for the reason Laurie thought, but because my part is naturally on the other side.  I just didn't realize it.
Laurie was telling me that women primarily part their hair on the right, men on the left.  So again, society dictated that I be unnatural to myself.
My hair is getting longer.  Laurie says it's growing like a weed.

Ok, I got it. I have a nasty colic on my left side. I look like Dennis The Menace when my hair is short. So many women news anchors part their hair on different sides.

Dear Jess:
Please drive safely....  I trust that you will enjoy your visit.
...How how long will you be there????

Oh, and (water?) tanks on the back of your truck for getting some nice and fresh Northwest water while there???
At over 8 pounds per gallon of water make sure that the rear tires of your truck are well inflated!!!

I will be eagerly looking for your updates and as @Donica mentioned.... PICTURES !!!!
Hugs,
Danielle

 Oh Nooooo She is coming here???? I suppose she will want to be fed and a place to lay her head. Perhaps I'll lock the doors and turn out the lights.

  Oh what the hell I'll just welcome her with open arms and treat her nice while she is here.
