Before & After

[Jessica_A]

Hi Sarah!

As someone who's just starting my journey at 47, seeing success stories like yours goes a long way towards alleviating my own fears about what is to come. Thank you for that and good luck with your surgery!

I don't really have many before images from the very beginning.



These are about a month to two months in.











and the after

I think that is about the time when wo were standing in jeans, etc.  And I like this, the way you hair is, and the way you present your face!

The photo you are referring to was January 3 2011. This photo was actually October 18th 2010.

This one is from September 8th 2010 which is closer to the pink stripes. This photo is also my first day at work in my office presenting as me hence the huge smile.


Oh and present my face? I have very light foundation on and nothing else in these photos. I don't wear a lot in general day to day.

It is not the makeup, I think I would like your face even without anything on.  It's just that kind of hitting me at the right spot of my emotions!
I also like your face in the avatar!  Wanne make vacation in southern Florida?

I like my face too. Even better it's 100% natural. Looking at my diary I found the photo standing was 364 days of hrt. I was full time in early September 2010 which was about 11 months in. The mid way photos shown where from July and August 2010 after just starting hrt. The photo of me in the brown dress below is November 2010.


Sorry Dietland I'm taken, although it's been a month since the last time he had his way.  I do enjoy his strength.

Oh and I think you are describing my personal flare. I can be a bit of a firecracker and of course I am also traveled through Europe and the UK. Not to mention I have Spanish (not Mexican) and English blood so maybe that is part of it too.

And that is a sad thing for m that you enjoy him, but it is good for you!  I am absolutely asexual, I don't do these kinds of enjoyments any more.  It must the flare of you that hits my fancy!
I still would want to invite you, if yo ever want to make vacation in the sub tropics!

I never had any relations before transitioning. I was attracted to woman and didn't allow myself to explore my attraction to men. However being stuck in a body that was publicly perceived as a guy I just didn't know how to act or function in the role.

I live in Texas so it's fairly warm here at the moment. I'm not certain if it is as warm as Florida but it could not be too far off. Speaking of which if it isn't raining I'm going for a nice walk outside tomorrow. If it is raining I'll hit the gym at the office. So regardless my personal goal is being near or under 194 pounds Monday morning.

I still think I look fat but I have noticed more and more attention from the guys lately. I live in a college area of town in Dallas at the moment and I see the looks from the boys and it isn't disgust or indifference. Muy bien mis chicos. There have been a few that where looking while driving and they have had some close calls with the rear ends of other vehicles.

The situation reminds me of:

I never was attracted to men, and I think I never will be (unless they can swing a wrench, but that is more mutual interest than attraction).  Because of this iI had no problem with body I am in.

It is in the low 80's around here, just our standard winter temps.  I am still impressed with your will power to get back down to your old figure!  That is another piece I admire with you!

I like the broad shoulders, the stubble on their faces, muscular arms and the tight butt. 

Oh and my voice from another recording.

This was a short recording, seven seconds, but Wow-Zers!

Dear Natalie:
Your voice sound very good and very feminine....
Thank you for sharing.

Regarding my often used words of Wow-zers and Wow-whee ....  those are words I picked up in my childhood and use them extensively today....   I never hear them used much by anyone else.   !!! 
Anyone can use those words but I will consider collecting user fees and royalties???  LOL   

Hugs,
Danielle

Thanks. Part of it was I never had a very deep voice and I got a lot of training from voice coaches at George Washington University.

On and if you play games on consoles or the computers try out Life Is Strange. Max (the protagonist) uses the word wowzer too.

[ChrissyRyan]

Natalie,


I could listen to you for hours at a time.

Your voice is very feminine.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

Thank you. There are times when I don't think that I sound good but I know logically that it's in my head. For people thinking that surgery is a must keep in mind I didn't have a surgery and it is possible.

You definitely have a female voice.  However, here I sit and have no idea what wowzer or wow-whee means.  This is the first time in my life that I came across those words, and I speak English way longer than you do!  Must be words that are not used in the upper Mid West or in Florida.

[Linde]

After talking mostly with my female voice the last few days, I did my Voice App test again

General Average was     210 Hz
Minimum was               125 Hz
Maximum was              296 Hz
Minimum Average was  169 Hz
Maximum Average was 248 Hz
And the judgement was: your range sounds mostly      female

They are exclamations to the word wow. So wowzer is a big wow so like jaw on floor wow. Like for instance me walking into the UPS store a town over so no one recognizes me and I have the notary clerk make copies of all my documentation because I'm a incredibly slacker apparently and with the wave of anti trans people right now I figure I should have my birth certificate from California fixed while I still can. So now tomorrow all I have to do is get a cashiers check from the bank for $23 and send it in to get my name and marker changed in a new birth certificate and seal the old one. As you can imagine not looking or sounding trans but yet here I am going through the hoops. Hopefully it's the last time I have to put myself in the system. Once I have that done I can get my license in Texas without having to worry about them calling me sir and putting a M on it.
