Real Progress

[pamshaw]

Although I started my journey too late things are really going well now. I have finally finished electrolsis. I have had no facial hair growth for three weeks now and I can't tell you how good it feels to have soft hairless facial skin (HRT has really healped physically and emotionally) and long hair on my head. I know I will have to touch up now and then but now I can just put on light daily makeup without worrying about my beard. I really function as a woman now and rarely does anyone suspect my past. I am very relaxed and am thoroughly enjoying womenhood. I will have an orci very soon and SRS early next year. I was very unhappy as a man and never thought I would be happy; my whole being now is a happy female.

I must say, I can really relate to you pamshaw.

While I didn't like most aspects of my previous life as a male, I feel as though the aspects that I didn't mind, and even liked have followed me now that I am female, and the aspects I did not like are behind me.

Self Reflection, counselling and hormones, as well as a willingness to put myself out there and conquer my own personal fears has only made me that much stronger!

I am now moving out from my parents into my own apartment, and have a brand new job which starts this monday coming (the 26th) it is an amazing feeling to of walked into a group interview, passed totally as female, and actually get the job too.

I have so much more confidence, and it actually feels right when I walk down the street, I don't feel embarrassed.

Well, as of this Sunday (25th) I will be in Super Stealth Mode, basically no one around me at all will know that I was born male (I have moved to the other side of the state I live in)

I'm so excited and nervous and worried and anxious about it all... I suppose it helps I am on anti anxiety medication along with my wonder pills (HRT)

Thanks everyone. It has been a long battle but I know it was absolutely the right thing. If you deny your true self you will never be happy. We are very lucky that we live in a time when these changes are possible; when I was very young they were not. I remember the shame and confusion as I put on my mother's things knowing that inside I was female but knowing I was going to have to live a lie. Living as a woman has allowed me to be completely at peace (well almost until full SRS). I wake up in the morning looking forward to the day. After a shower, makeup and a nice outfit I am ready to take on the day. I use to dread every day as a male. As I said a smooth face has really made a difference as has the natural female voice I have developed. I am a woman now and I love it.
