Kristen,
Looking really good ...

...
Just speed the removal of that beard !
You'll soon be looking like your avatar pic ...

... honestly.
Have you no photos where you're attempting to look as "feminine" as you can (hair, bit of make-up, etc.) ... kinda to build up your confidence that you're nearly ready to go RLE ? Because I think you're almost there ...
I took so many pictures to persuade myself that I was ready to face society.
This was one of me taken about a week before I went full time ...

Camera on tripod, exposure by IR remote control !
That was March 2005. How time flies ...
