You were the one who inspired me to transition jenny. Thank you so much. :eusa_clap:
Quote from: Lara the Lover and the Fighter on July 02, 2014, 07:42:08 PMyou compliment each other nicely
Jennygirl you are the friggin coolest. I was late in the thread but I really don't know what other comments could be said about my big ole head. lol
Okay. I have two pictures both with me in it and both with my wife. I blurred her face because I don't know if she is cool with this or not. She transitioned with me from female to male just without hormones or anything like that. Its a long story. Shes not blurred on my facebook page though. I don't think she minds people seeing her there. Oh and add me if you want! It's cool. :D
Alas:

Not really an "after" picture since I'm still in the early, early phases of transition. But I feel pretty good about how much healthier I seem and I think there's potential there to pass some day. Still ways to go, but I'm on my way.
Quote from: Tori on July 03, 2014, 04:59:30 PM
Jenny, I have been meaning to say this for a long time, but it wasn't until I saw you say something similar, that I thought I could without sounding mean. Your physical changes have not been that drastic.
Yeah. I said it.
;)
You just wear being female very, very well.
You are the first to admit it takes work to be a woman. I agree and add, good genes help. You put in the work, and have good genes. Now you can hang out with old friends and they do not know who you are.
So why are people so amazed by your pictures here (myself included)?
Well, the pics are good, for starters. You are tasteful in wardrobe and makeup. AND you glow with joy. The skin has changed, but how you feel in said skin has changed even more.
You are the epitome of what I keep trying to tell people. HRT does very little visually, it is the effort we put in, the enjoyment we feel, and the culmination of all these teeny tiny results that paint the real picture.
It is who you are, how you present, and the bravery to not give a flying ****, that really makes the difference.
People are inspired because of your looks? Good luck people. Jenny has great genes. She should have been FAAB.
People should be inspired by your heart and soul. Because THAT is what really makes the difference.

Thought it would be fun to add a few pics to the new thread.
I found one pic that is about 13 years ago, it was during a fat stage in my life. I can honestly say this was the fattest I ever was but still only pushed 165....but it looks like a hell of a lot more. My children never could believe that I was that big at one time, even when comparing to when I was still portraying a man.
The second pic was fairly typical of what I looked like most of my life, it was just the start of my transition. Believe it or not there are some tiny buds behind that red shirt....I was even insecure about it at the time...LOL
The 3rd 4th and 5th are how I appear today!!

I have to disagree here. Your mental state is an abstract thing. Passability is concrete. It doesn't really matter how you feel on the inside, you still won't be passable unless you look female. Even with mannerisms and a projection of confidence, it won't do anything unless you look female. That said, I disagree that HRT does very little visually. The changes that HRT causes are subtle, but that doesn't mean they're little. It's the subtleties that people pick up on that are used to determine someone's gender. So having those subtleties changed has a profound effect on your overall appearance.

It's crazy, isn't it? That Jenny looks like a twin of her old self yet looks undeniably and 100% female. Whenever I show cis friends before/after pics on these forums, they are ALWAYS most amazed by Jenny, despite other girls going through more drastic physical changes to look female.

Wow! Everyone has such amazing changes!!
I'm about a month and a week into HRT, but I feel good about the small things I see changing. Here's a comparison...

Yowza, you think you need work?? You're freaking gorgeous! Amazing transformation... I had to look back and forth and back and forth a bunch of times to believe that the guy in the first photo wasn't just some random dude. Seriously. Good job!
Also welcome to the forums :)

Hot dang girl! You are looking faaabulous for a month and a half! Well done!!! :D :D
Can't wait to see your progress as you develop. Gonna be a knockout!
Welcome to the forums as well.
So many new people, I love it. Welcome Myarkstir as well, I would have never recognized you from your before photo. It's obvious you are not new to this :)

Shame, it was a great beard! You're looking completely stunning though, you must be SO happy :) I'm very jealous! x

Exactly 5 months of HRT, and 48 pounds lost.
I haven't made it all the way over to other side yet, but I can see it from here, and it is far more amazing than I could have ever imagined!!!
Quote from: zerglingrunby on July 09, 2014, 06:05:58 AM
The beard was grown for a musical I was in where I played banjo and sung! It was pretty fun, but I'm glad that phase of my life is over. I really need new headshots though... my current one still features a walrus moustache! Kinda confusing for people........ >_>
Also Livvykins you are beautiful! I also am a sucker for those guitars in the background ;)

It's weird... quite a few of the TG girls that I've met have been guitarists. Maybe there's a link between gender and the ability to shred lol

Can I just say, looking through this thread has made me feel a good bit better than I did three hours ago walking through the mall and looking at women's clothing, feeling like I will never ever look like something "worthy" of wearing them.
You're a long way down a journey I am just barely starting.
You are all fantastic.
Jealous!

Quote from: Jennygirl on July 08, 2014, 07:16:28 PM
Roni thank you so much, for the longest time (until I was 28) I looked at my face thinking I would need EXTENSIVE work done if I ever wanted to pass as female... I think that was part of the reason why I told myself it wasn't an option for so long. It's just crazy what a little salt and pepper will do ;) It wasn't until I came here and Shantel gave me some much needed support that I saw what little I really needed to change and how much I needed to LEARN!
And may I add, you are so inspiringly beautiful. Even before your FFS, a total knockout. Your happiness shows in every photo I see of you these days, and I will tell you it is incredibly contagious. Thanks for sharing with us!

Quote from: ♡ Emily ♡ on July 11, 2014, 03:17:08 AM
Kind thanks Kimberledy and Ally :).
Dee, I totally agree, lining it all up would be the most difficult part. I have made one chainmail which was quite easy and then I struggled with chainmail coif immensely though because it has round design - we actually discussed those notorious chainmail bikinis with one of my fellow reenactors who was also a blacksmith and sort of agreed that cups could be made by using two round basis for coifs and the rest would just run in regular straps. But even having no breasts for ourselves we agreed that this stuff would chafe as hell and be quite revealing, so using a beaten steel plates for cups and chainmail for straps did sound as a more reasonable idea :D.

I will say, that's quite a wow transformation Chic.
I will also say, even before you started, your face has very feminine features.
Best of luck starting HRT! I'm right behind you! :D

Great changes! I think the pink dress and the blue jacket are just as much a contrast as you wearing those two different outfits at different times. What I am trying to say is that you look great! :D

It may be just me but I don' t think that young man in the first picture is you. He looks to be about 15 or so and a completely different ethnicity than you. I am not doubting that if th e after picture is really you or your trans status. But the before pic I dont think even remotely looms like you.

I read one of her post where she was apologizing for posting fake pics of her, but from what we can see, she keeps doing it

Quote from: Pikachu on July 17, 2014, 08:12:17 PM+1 Agreed.
This is the first time I've looked at this thread and it will also be the last, I think, after seeing some of the comments about Evelyn. I've talked with her quite a bit. She is NOT a troll, and to those of you claiming she is, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I was looking forward to the day I could post before and after pictures on this site, but seeing how judgmental some people are, I don't think I'll be doing that now. God forbid I ever manage to look as feminine as the model in my avatar. Then I'll have to deal with the same disgusting comments about not being the same person from my old pics. Need I remind some of you that this is a support site? How about showing a little support to a young girl who had the courage to share her old photo?

Quote from: JLT1 on July 17, 2014, 07:24:45 PMthat's quite an accomplishment looks like a lot of hard work
Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.
I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.
Here I am, Dec. 2008 at 362 lbsa and in late 2010, just having started to work out and diet
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FDRcnynX.jpg&hash=98cbd3b8eff400779adcb73b2258a3a2b9cd84af) (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXfPykgG.jpg&hash=e0731d24dc663ff098613893be4db5ff576dcd5b)
The first one is me, Sept 2013. I've now lost 139 lbs and been on HRT for 8 months. Notice the breast growth under the suit and the white sports bra. For some reason, I just won the lottery in that area. Not so much in the face though.

Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me. I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS. As one can see, I did not come close to passing.

Just a few days prior to leaving for FFS. My life had unraveled. The delay for FFS caused severe dysphoria. My marriage was blowing up. I couldn't sleep. Very hard time.

This is me a couple days post FFS with Dr Z in a full head pressure cast. The nurse was super, Cole was super everyone was super. It made a hard time much easier. I smiled though the pain knowing it was right.

P.S I also got insurance to pay $63,400 on FFS while I paid $10,900. However, SRS in Dec. this year and is covered at 100%. If anyone wants help with insurance, I'm here.

I hope it's okay to post since I have yet to start HRT. I'm hoping for sometime in the next month or two.
...
I took most of these pictures when I was still afraid of having pictures with my face and me wearing women's clothing in them on the internet. Now that I'm going out in public it seems pointless to worry. Actually, I honestly can't stand my face as it is right now so that was part of it too.
Here are the rest of my pictures. http://elementc.imgur.com/all/
I have a feeling some of you might not like my taste in clothes. I guess I overcompensate by emphasizing my waist and trying to distract from my face, but I genuinely like what I wear.
I know next to nothing about makeup at this point. I desperately want someone to show me how in person but no one I know has shown even the slightest interest in helping. "Just look it up on Youtube."

Megan you look fantastic (I've thought so in all your pics I've come across) and your transition is so inspiring. I would be happy with half of the results you have had. Starting in 2001 and now in 2014, I am so impressed by your dedication to your transition. It has paid off in spades, and I am not just saying that because I have a thing for girls with glasses.

Quote from: Megan Joanne on July 18, 2014, 12:32:23 AMI just love that dress your wearing in this photo Megan. It looks very cute on you. Sleeveless/strappy sun dresses like these are my absolute favorite thing to wear. I'm wearing my favorite one in my wardrobe in my Avatar pic.

Well, here is my transition thus far and even though I've come a long way, I am convinced that the best is yet to come.
I've been working on the weight loss for over to 3 years, in transition for 2½ years with 1½ years on Susan's and about that long on HRT.
Here I am, Dec. 2008 at 362 lbsa and in late 2010, just having started to work out and diet
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FDRcnynX.jpg&hash=98cbd3b8eff400779adcb73b2258a3a2b9cd84af) (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXfPykgG.jpg&hash=e0731d24dc663ff098613893be4db5ff576dcd5b)
The first one is me, Sept 2013. I've now lost 139 lbs and been on HRT for 8 months. Notice the breast growth under the suit and the white sports bra. For some reason, I just won the lottery in that area. Not so much in the face though.

Here is my unaltered picture and then an approximation of what FFS would do for me. I used the approximation as my avatar for almost a year while I worked on getting insurance to pay for the FFS. As one can see, I did not come close to passing.

I hope it's okay to post since I have yet to start HRT. I'm hoping for sometime in the next month or two.
I took most of these pictures when I was still afraid of having pictures with my face and me wearing women's clothing in them on the internet. Now that I'm going out in public it seems pointless to worry. Actually, I honestly can't stand my face as it is right now so that was part of it too.
I have a feeling some of you might not like my taste in clothes. I guess I overcompensate by emphasizing my waist and trying to distract from my face, but I genuinely like what I wear.
I know next to nothing about makeup at this point. I desperately want someone to show me how in person but no one I know has shown even the slightest interest in helping. "Just look it up on Youtube."

Paige,
Thank you. For another four weeks, that is a wig - a very good wig but still a wig. My hair isn't long enough yet even with extensions. But, in four weeks, I can go with extensions and it will work. I will need a hair transplant if I want thick hair - it's about 5K at Bosley to get the hair quantity I want. I'm going to try and bundle a hair transplant and some excess skin removal with Dr Z in Oct. Maybe I can get it cheaper like that. However, from what I was to where I am is great.
Hugs,
Jen

Dear StevieAK ,think that what you call "negative comments" could be advices.
What I get out of that is you wanted to say something judgemental.
My race is against myself and I'm winning.
It's hard for me to put myself our for scrutiny as I see your lack of profile attests you'll agree.
Could be but I did not come here to be criticized. I have good reason to be wary of Trans people as they have been the most cruel. I like me and that's enough.

Ok, I am going to edit some of these photos out the next time I post one of these. This is getting pretty long. But hey, why not. Nine months in. Boobs are boobing. Body softening. Belly finally starting to go elsewhere but not fast enough.
Transition takes a lot of work. I am not full time yet. Don't quite have the wardrobe. But I am full time socially and then some. I would not say I have yet hit male fail but I am amazed to see that the time may come. I would gladly trade my shoulders for hips.
All of the people who post in this thread inspire me and I figure I should return the favor.
I try to avoid the downward spiral of vanity when possible but it does feel nice to look your best.
There is a long way to go but... nine months makes some changes.
Anyhoo, here is a timeline from before I started to last week.

Stephanie,
I like your Greta Garbo look better, what's really important is that you're a nice person, neither of us will ever win any beauty contests, more age related than anything else I suppose, but chin up, we're both here and we belong here and so what! Huh?
Quote from: April Lee on July 29, 2014, 05:45:22 PMApril thank you so much for transitioning. You look way better and happier now. I have to admit being a little intimidated by the before picture! Mine was the same way! ;) :)

That is quite the change Stephanie. Like Jen pointed out, your face has really softened--big time. All I see is a lady there in the most recent pic.

I talked to one younger trans had two laser treatments and it was gone.....take a 32 hour two day clearing and we'll talk sugar...I dont want to hear how hard it was for that 15 min laser treatment on your lip that one time.
Quote from: stephaniec on July 31, 2014, 09:22:53 PMYea I agree Steph I see a lot of softening up in your face. Your a beautiful woman in your own right. Don't believe anything different.
thanks
Quote from: StevieAK on July 31, 2014, 11:52:08 PMI really don't think anyone looks like they should have facial hair. It covers up your features, otherwise you're just a talking bush with eyes. :D I guess some people pull it off, but if you line everyone up with a full beard you couldn't possibly pick someone out in a lineup unless they have a tattoo on their forehead. I have a friend who loves beards, and she even married one. I can barely stand two-day stubble, and it's not even all that thick. Still, it's itchy. Look at the singer for Placebo. He looks amazing, but when he decides to grow his facial hair it's like nononono shave it immediately!
Do I look like I should have hair on my face??? Utterly maddening.....

I have been updating my after picture about every week or two in this thread because I am changing so fast these days. I decided to put an interim picture in this post. There are only 78 days between the first and second pictures here, but I have lost a lot of weight in that time, and have totally changed my lower body. I am using no padding or enhancers underneath. What you see is all me.

The right is a much happier 49 year-old-woman starting her new life--with a new position--with a growing Fortune 250 company (same company, but we just moved up a few notches).
Thanks!

Shantel, You are so very kind!
I am afraid that I did indeed scare a few people with my before picture. I really wasn't a serial killer (honestly). I thought I would show another from about 7 years ago where I look a little bit more innocuous, and shows my body. I weighed about 240 then, which is about 75 pounds more than I weigh now.

Well, here's mine. I think this has been an incredible transformation for me. I should mention that the long hair is a wig as I just retired from the Navy 28JUL14. It's still growing and I can't wait to see it in full bloom :)

Asking because I lived there till I was 17, then I also moved back for 6 months last year (not to mention, during that time, I met so many more awesome people than before, it's sure changed a lot!). Oh yeah, and by the way, you look beautiful!

Quote from: LizMarie on August 13, 2014, 11:58:41 AMI'm from Houston, too. It kinda looks like the Heights area. I don't see many houses of that style anywhere else.
I don't live in Memphis myself. I'm from Houston, Texas and was visiting friends. I had just gotten out of my car and was walking up to the house where several friends were already gathered in the driveway and one insisted she get a picture of me in the front yard. And that's the shot she got. :) I'm not sure exactly where that is in relationship to the university. Sorry! :)
Quote from: LizMarie on August 13, 2014, 04:48:14 PM
I just checked. She lives on a side street just off Highland, and yes the university is not too far north of her house. :) Small world! And you're in Houston too? Ha! A very small world! :)

Does anyone see some change. I have a hard time being objective
oops, I don't know how that second to last one got in there
Quote from: Newgirl Dani on August 24, 2014, 09:43:50 AMthanks greatly appreciated
Hope I'm doing this right, I've not tried to comment on an older post so.....very nice change for such a short period of time Stephanie. Only hope I can gain this much ground in facial softening. Dani P.S. I dont often get time to scroll thru past pics.

Today one of my friends asked me what I looked like before, I said I have some pictures and proceeded to produce them to much amazement, figured the whole thing belongs here given the reactions.

Quote from: Kyra553 on August 28, 2014, 07:58:03 AMI very much agree with this^^____^^. I can easily see around your neck and chin area has greatly feminized. your hair is about an inch or two longer as well, your just not noticing it hun.
Your overall appearance has become much more feminine galaxy!! Its very noticeable around your chin and neck area. :angel:

Ehh... I've been reluctant for a while... But why not? (Click pics then again when they've loaded to enlarge... They're quite small otherwise...)
(Probably not the best to see the face... But you've no idea how hard it was to find a pic without drugs, booze, or upper body nudity...)

My first day being me... No make-up, or anything.... Though yes, it's clearly a wig. (Okay I'm wearing a tiny bit in my eyes only, but no foundation) Circa - Almost three years ago.

Another update. The first picture is from 3 years ago my during my freshman year of college. The second picture is from a few minutes ago and I will be 8 months on HRT next week. I really don't know what has changed to be honest but I can visually see a boy in the first and a girl in the second lol. When it comes to HRT affecting the face, I can't put a tiger on what it does but each day as I look into the mirror, I see more and more of myself. Also my 21st birthday is tomorrow! I'm so excited <3

Hi Peps. I just joined this site and have only been on hormones for about 1 month but been doing Drag Shows for several years. I have always wondered if I am fem or passable enough in my looks. Exsp. since my hobbies are rather masculine like MMA; Billiards; Cars and Guns amongst other things. But here is a picture of me one month 1.5 months on spiro. Thoughts; comments; suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much sweetie, from your avatar, you're doing extremely well in your own right. I am leading quite a normal life, and actually considering trying out for modelling, hopefully if I can lose the weight that I've put in the last couple of years :D x
Quote from: Kyra553 on September 14, 2014, 10:20:42 AM
Every now and then I get a really good photo. hehe :laugh: Though I need to take some news ones, the only ones I have are back from April of this year. :-\
I feel pretty confident when I say, that a decent modeling agency will hire you without a second glance! Just be sure to have tons of photos of yourself in different places and outfits!
Hmmm losing more weight would be awesome for both of us! It would be...double awesome lol XD

THE FIRST PHOTO IS OVERUSED HERE, BUT I LOATHED MYSELF SO TERRIBLY I GENERALLY FORBADE PHOTOS. SO IT'S ONE OF THE FEW I HAVE AROUND THE TIME I TRANSITIONED.
I don't know how happy I look in these other photos, but I'd never been happy until I transitioned, and it keeps getting better. I weighed 226 on my first day of HRT,
and got down by May 2013 to 160. My brother had a liver transplant that failed and he died, July 10th, 2013, and I went all the way back up to 188 by February 2014,
and am losing weight again. Yesterday, September 14th, I was down to 173. Hopefully, early next year I'll have my GRS in Thailand.....I can hardly wait!!!
BY THE WAY, I JUST TURNED 60 A MONTH AGO, AND HAD MY NAME AND GENDER CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE MY B-DAY! I NEVER THOUGHT LIFE COULD BE ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!

3. June 2012, 10 mo. FT 190 lbs.? 4. April 2014, 32 mo. FT 185 lbs. 5. Sept. 15, 2014 3 years 8 days Full Time!!! 173 lbs.
THE FIRST PHOTO IS OVERUSED HERE, BUT I LOATHED MYSELF SO TERRIBLY I GENERALLY FORBADE PHOTOS. SO IT'S ONE OF THE FEW I HAVE AROUND THE TIME I TRANSITIONED.
I don't know how happy I look in these other photos, but I'd never been happy until I transitioned, and it keeps getting better. I weighed 226 on my first day of HRT,
and got down by May 2013 to 160. My brother had a liver transplant that failed and he died, July 10th, 2013, and I went all the way back up to 188 by February 2014,
and am losing weight again. Yesterday, September 14th, I was down to 173. Hopefully, early next year I'll have my GRS in Thailand.....I can hardly wait!!!
BY THE WAY, I JUST TURNED 60 A MONTH AGO, AND HAD MY NAME AND GENDER CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE MY B-DAY! I NEVER THOUGHT LIFE COULD BE ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!
Quote from: Miranda Catherine on September 15, 2014, 02:37:25 AMMira, you were one of my biggest inspirations here during my early days beginning my transition.

Your very beautiful Mira. I so much enjoy seeing your updates as you become more and more beautiful with each one! Good luck with your GRS.

Leah, you look darling in the after photo! Lovely dress that's perfect for your body, cute hair, everything about you is subtle and ever so girly. (You look pretty good in the before photo too, in case you're wondering.) Nothing to be self conscious about whatsoever.

Wow! Impressive how much you have changed, especially at that age... that should everyone give some good hope!
Wish you good luck for having your GRS asap... and too for the GRS itself of course.
Quote from: Brenda E on September 15, 2014, 05:35:33 AM
Miranda Catherine, I love your updates - you go from strength to strength, and you're one of the most inspiring and prettiest girls here. Your story shows us all that it's never too late to achieve superb results, and your ability to overcome adversity and stay focused on transition is amazing. Absolutely a role model!
Quote from: whatever on September 15, 2014, 02:59:29 AMAll I ever wanted in my life was to be a girl/woman, and the love and support I've received from you sweet and caring women here continues to humble me each time I post something. I hope and pray my words mean one tenth as much to you as yours mean to me. I haven't been clocked since the first month or two after transitioning and I can't help but put much of the credit for that on you girls! Confidence in oneself goes a long, long way in projecting 'female' to the world, and your kindness has definitely helped. God bless you all. Mira
You are so beautiful and a fantastic role model for new transitioners Miranda. Best of luck in Thailand next year, excited for you! ;D

You look great! I'm curious; how old were you when you started HRT and how long had you been on HRT when that most recent photo was taken? Sorry for the questions but I'd appreciate a frame of reference please.
Quote from: Miranda Catherine on September 22, 2014, 10:55:24 AM...
And Delsorou, you have every reason on earth to smile now, girl! You're a girl, not a male impersonator wishing and praying to shed yourself of your hated former look, thoughts of how and who you tried to be. This thread, "The Before and After Topic", is by far, my favorite on all of Susan's, because we can see how far everyone has come, and how much further we can go. It's truly amazing. Mira

So I took a pic of my new pink hair and it made me really happy to see how things are coming along, and it's been a while since I posted in 1 of the photo threads so I figured I'd share my happiness :) This is after 9 months low dose, 15 months full dose, 1 month endo approved dose HRT and a fair bit of pew pew pew to the face :)
These 2 are of me drunk in the sunshine :)

Ok so recently I found the worst picture of me pre-transition which it was day one of hrt so yay! It was actually durning my transition!!! Anyway I thought I would share. If the middle one is upside down I tried. I hate photobucket and it hates me.
Quote from: Hayley on October 01, 2014, 05:53:52 AMI think you look great Hayley. You've come a long way judging from your pre hrt photo. You look lovely in a few of your other photos as well. :)

OK, I know I've posted to this thread recently but I am just so excited as It's my half year on HRT anniversary on Friday! :D
Plus I think this new old photo that I found better demonstrates how far I've come compared to any of the other pictures I've shown here thus far.
On the left is me now and on the right is me months and months before hormones. Time flies so quickly when you are having fun! :laugh:

Been on HRT for 11 months now. Just got my new license this week! It has my new name on it and updated gender marker ( I <3 Colorado, so easy to get gender marker updated ). Thought I would throw them both up side by side to see how much I've changed over the last 2 years.

Isn't it great to see that great big "F" beside the word "sex" on your license! :eusa_clap: I know how happy I was when I got mine done, so I can imagine the elation your feeling!Also it looks like you've changed quite a bit for the better! That's the first DL photo I've seen mine included, that doesn't look like a mugshot, lol! Very pretty! :icon_biggrin:

Yeah Zoe! ID Before/Afters warm my heart for some reason. And your license ID is actually good! Mine is terrible, haha. Congrats!
Hayley, at a glance, I legitimately thought your before was you trying to pass as male, and added the facial hair with either makeup or photoshop. Awesome starting point, and your "current" is astounding! You're beautiful!
So, I already posted this in "fabulous," but was kinda excited seeing this pic against an old one. So here's my contribution; before is shortly before I last cut my own hair, a little over 2 years ago. And then this morning, after cutting my hair last night for the first time since!

I appreciate that I could probably do with smiling, but honestly I was just trying to make sure my thumb actually hit the shutter button on the screen, but anyway this is my face after a year (and 4 days).
As I'm sure is the case for many people here there are a lot of things I'm not happy with or want to change, but it's progress. Slow, but still progress. I think.

Jo you look radiant. I love your eyes! You've a very pretty smile as well. :)
Jane your looking great as always. I actually like this photo best. Some might think that strange. But it has a more average daily feel to it. In it you just look like any other girl just going about her day! :) Makeup for you is a non issue -lucky girl!

I've got a little bit of work to do, but I think I've jumped the major hurdles already.
Quote from: Shodan on October 21, 2014, 02:15:38 PM
Been wanting to do this ever since my awesome picture of me with my new glasses.
Me, about a year before coming out to myself:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FewWUdXh.jpg&hash=7b5821047f99f32891af55b0338e3d4b4f95681c)
Me, right as I started going to therapy, which was about a month or two after coming out in February 2013
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FL7Etrkl.jpg&hash=d844f2dbc97ba1aeafa1227260dac770c7432c5e)
I believe I took this right as I started taking low doses of Spiro, which would have been September/Octoboer of 2013. Maybe earlier.

This is me, probably around May. 7 months HRT:

This weekend. 11 months HRT (no makeup or anything):
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FtBzIMno.png&hash=371791742617b9b12e4cfb4025e1e2ec3310198c) (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Ft3u8tLt.png&hash=5adf33748ba9305b6e5b868985ba8c988439c2eb)
Those last two was the first time I've ever really saw myself as female. Yes, I've got a little bit of work to do, but I think I've jumped the major hurdles already.
Quote from: Shantel on October 21, 2014, 05:05:40 PM
Yes you do and you have come a long way since that first photo which kind of elicits a "Please Mr. Bill, don't hurt me!" kind of response. I really like this one in spite of brow bossing, it leans very firmly toward the feminine and what a wonderful smile!
Quote from: Shodan on October 21, 2014, 06:21:17 PM
Thanks! There's really nothing I can do about the bossing other than FFS.... which I refuse to do. All in all it's not that bad. I've seen ciswomen with worse. I think if I do a bit of eyebrow shaping and get rid of that beard shadow I'd be good.
Quote from: Livvykins on October 23, 2014, 07:30:08 AM
Hi lovelies
It's been a ages since I've posted updated pics... so here you go :)
I've got another round of FFS in Feb, hopefully that will finish things off!

I posted on the second last page last thread, so I figured I'd do another (and better) before/after now that my nose cast is off! Tried to get my face pics as close in camera angle as possible for a fairer comparison.

4 months hormones, two weeks post FFS, laser hair removal done, 60 pound weight loss.

Yeah Zoe! ID Before/Afters warm my heart for some reason. And your license ID is actually good! Mine is terrible, haha. Congrats!
Hayley, at a glance, I legitimately thought your before was you trying to pass as male, and added the facial hair with either makeup or photoshop. Awesome starting point, and your "current" is astounding! You're beautiful!
So, I already posted this in "fabulous," but was kinda excited seeing this pic against an old one. So here's my contribution; before is shortly before I last cut my own hair, a little over 2 years ago. And then this morning, after cutting my hair last night for the first time since!

My friends tell me I don't need any either but I feel I do, and I must follow my heart and do what I feel is best for me and makes me happy. I will however await my 2 year anniversary on hormones before making a final decision on which parts of my face need attention. Although now I can pretty much count on needing Rino as my face is too small for my nose, lol.

Pretty dramatic Ev, have you had any FFS?
Quote from: Ev on November 02, 2014, 02:05:46 PM
Nope. Not a lick. The most that has been done to my face is one session of laser hair removal.. I could grow a beard like Eric the Red so I had to make sure that didn't happen hahaha. I have 5 more sessions already lined up. I started HRT I want to say back in late June/early July-ish.

Shantel, Thank you so much. I think one of the most beautiful aspects of losing all that weight is that a lot of the aches and pains have gone away. I used to struggle with my knees and my back. I hardly notice them at all any more. I have also regained a huge portion of my flexibility, and that has allowed me to take up the dancing that has become such a large portion of my new life.
Quote from: Ev on November 02, 2014, 02:34:26 PM
Yes it is. I got asked out on a date (from a male) already, who was begging that I meet him later this week hahahaha.

Well I have a before, I'm not really in the after stage yet though.. kind of the during/whatever stage that I am now lol..
Well the before pic was taken in Bougainvile (a small politically unstable island near Papua New Guinea), the white guy in the pic is me lol. I had really had a rough previous few days in the jungle there.. this was in march 2014. The 'after' is about two days old (November 2014). I find the change rather mind blowing personally. Also I don't have anyone to take a full body pic right now, but just trust me when I say I have lost a lot of weight and am a rather slender person now.. here goes..

Remarkable to say the least! You shouldn't have let those villagers talk you into sticking the bone through your nose! Just kidding, :D

Quote from: lemon_ice on November 03, 2014, 12:55:08 PM
Thanks :), I had a rather confusing moment when looking back through my photos a couple of days ago... When I saw the posted 'before pic', some part of my brain immediately said, 'damn, he's hot...' in a less than platonic way too :/ It left me feeling rather strange for a while.. (my attraction to men is pretty new by the way). Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Also, those islanders (the women) are actually amazing people, they run a guest house as a way of teaching other Bougainvillean women hospitality skills to help them eventually get jobs or run their own business. This is in an extremely misogynistic country (there is no such thing as marital rape, approx. 60% girls have also been raped by the age of 16) with almost no education opportunities (especially for women), where there is almost no economy and almost no infrastructure due to severe little war 20 years ago where Papua (supported by Australia) came in and destroyed almost everything and massacred and raped tens of thousands of men women and children...
The Bougainvillean man in the picture was a commander in the Bougainvillean Resistance Army who fought the Papuans 20 years ago, and is a very astute person.
Quote from: Shantel on November 03, 2014, 01:06:43 PM
Thanks for the brief recent history, very interesting and something I hadn't known about. Bougainville was shredded during WWII and that's all I had ever heard of the place. You must be an Aussie, I'd love to see such places! So far my only big adventure was in Vietnam during that war, the 1st RAR was attached to our unit back then, I developed a fondness for Aussie Beer.

Jesus H. Christ!!! Claire (my mothers name too, and a beautiful one at that), I'd have never imagined that you'd looked like that before. Good looking guy, but guy indeed; you look totally different in every way!!! You clearly lost some muscle, I'm hoping that happens to me and I noticed a couple hand veins in your before picture. Not as bad as mine I'd say, but did they tend to bulge easily before? Has HRT help make them less prominent? Even if not, don't worry, yours aren't near as bad as mine from the look of it. They really aren't bad at all, just curious.

It's quite common that we always dislike what we see and don't see any significant changes when there really are and others find it amazing how much we have changed. I look in the mirror and always see my dad's face looking back, I even got an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and neck lift surgery to change the family characteristics and I still see him looking back...... .Faaaak!

I am pretty positive that you wouldn't want to do that. Mostly bones these day. Yay for 800 calorie diets!
Quote from: Hayley on November 14, 2014, 08:24:53 PM
800 is fine with me. 400 for lunch and 400 for dinner. I don't feel tired or lethargic. I see a doctor every few months. I get blood test every three. My health is fine and I have no complications. If it was adversely effecting my overall health I would fix it. But it's not so I'm happy with my diet.
Quote from: Skeptoid on November 14, 2014, 09:23:32 PM
I stuggle to get past 1200 calories each day so, uh... 800 seems like it's pretty foolhardy. I'm 105lbs this week and I'm trying to eat enough to gain.

Quote from: Christine Eryn on November 15, 2014, 06:46:39 PMYour body plateau's for a few reasons but the main one's are that, now that your smaller your body requires less calories per day to maintain weight, and of course, your metabolism slows down placing your body in "starvation mode."
On a related note, when I lost a bunch of extra weight over the years, I never paid attention to calories, just carbs. I cut out as much bread/pasta/sugar as possible. Lately I have hit a plateau though. My metabolism has gone down the drain for some reason.

LOL! I went in for my FFS without high expectations, as I was nervous I would be let down. Dr. Spiegel is amazing!
Yesterday, I went to go buy some new boots for this winter. I was having a long conversation with the woman who was assisting me. Anyway, she asked where I worked and what I did for a living. I gave her a little bit of my work history as I work in operation support, but I did start as a truck driver. She was surprised as she asked, 'are there many woman truck drivers out there?' She never even considered I was trans. My passing confidence is so much higher now as well as how I see myself in the mirror.

Quote from: Allyda on November 15, 2014, 08:15:24 PM
What works for me, and this may sound counterproductive, is I have to actually increase caloric intake slightly while also increasing physical activity a little to make up for the extra calories. In addition, keep the caloric intake varying on a day to day basis. Mix things up a little by switching the order of your daily routine and or physical activity. You should start losing again after doing this for about a week.

FFS November 2014......more to come :)
Quote from: Carrie Liz on November 17, 2014, 04:39:05 AMbig difference
Just a case of showing what's possible here...
Here's a few pictures from pre-transition... a front view taken from a video still, as well as a side view from that same video just so you can see the sheer degree of maleness that we're talking about here that I had to overcome. I was in deep at the beginning of transition, and genuinely believed that I would NEVER pass because I was just too masculine. The third picture, which is what my face looked like close-up, is meant to be a comparison to the close-up at the end, and yeah... needless to say, miracles really can happen sometimes. The impossible definitely happened for me.
"BEFORE" PICTURES: (1/8/13)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Foi60.tinypic.com%2F2lyfib.jpg&hash=4b387406a99c4be1af978e89f3f91fb2d28bdd0a)

And, well, here's my "after" pictures. The first one is a still photo from my most recent vlog, which is a very fair comparison since the first "before" picture was from a vlog too. It's my default appearance, since I tend to wear my hair in a ponytail.
The second "after" picture, I just took less than an hour ago. And, well, again, this is supposed to show people what's possible after 22 months of HRT. In both of these pictures, no makeup, no nothing, and I haven't had any FFS, this is just what hormones and weight loss did for me.
I'll openly admit, there is a SERIOUS disconnect for me when looking at my old pictures. I seriously don't even recognize that guy anymore.

7 Mo. HRT 8 1/2 Mo. HRT
Quote from: Kirey on November 18, 2014, 06:07:49 AM
I was doing some photography/self-portraits this weekend and saw one image was like a recreation of a picture I made about three years ago. Funny is that on the first picture I see a guy clearly, another a woman, also clearly. Even so.. I am not on HRT yet so there cannot be any significant changes.
I guess the small things do it o.o.

Mandatory six month HRT anniversary timeline post incoming!
...aaaaand skip to the end. Today! About a year since I decided to transition, 10 months since presenting as female in public and 6 months since starting HRT and going full-time. A woman at the grocery store kept misgendering me repeatedly and loudly while her co-workers laughed today which was quite humiliating so I guess I still have a long way to go. That did tarnish my six month anniversary experience a bit but overall I think I'm making okay progress so far. Right? :-\

two years on HRT 1 year full time... I decided to ease into my femininity a bit at a time.. I did not really comprehend how dysphoric I was. I thought being androgynous would help... it turned out to be full fledged woman hood with a need for GRS. Considering when I started HRT I think I really did get a lot from it :). I now have an ass!!! I suffered from plummer butt as a guy lol and I am sitting at a pretty solid c cup.. thinking I might wind up with small d's

I have not learned how to quote previous posts. Also, I think I do not yet have all privileges that most members have for posting. And I am trying to make my photo sizes more reasonable. Sorry for clogging the forum. Please forgive my clunky formatting. . .
Lavistaa, amber roskamp, Kaydee, thank, you!
Stephaniec, you work so hard on this site! Thank you. So inspirational.
missymay, you are elegant. That chin... those cheekbones. Really beautiful. Then I read a post you wrote, in the past, about "not passing" and all I could think was... huh? Really?
Brenda, what a lovely affirming post. Thank you so much. I would like to take the time to write, with much more detail, what I was thinking when I was younger. I will eventually... a short version is that my biggest thought was probably fear. How will I ever meet someone who will love a freak like me? Also, a big thought was... Am I mentally ill? Also... what is the cure?
I assumed all guys felt like they were women to some degree. I just assumed all other guys were much better at dealing with it. I thought all guys hated their penis and testosterone. I know this will sound silly today. It really was not until the mid-1990's and the internet and the sun slowly started to emerge. Hey! Wait a minute. What, maybe I am not a sicko?
But back in the 70's the only books I could find in the library, that seemed to describe my condition, were abnormal psychology books. And the chapter that was closest to labeling me was right next to the chapter on pedophilia, paraphilia and fetishes. I learned quickly, this is not something to tell anyone! When I was younger, I was like a root bound plant. Completely compressed in my pot.
katiej, the dress is Yigal Azrouel. It is called a techno jacquard dress. The color is: Bone. Thank you so much for noticing, you have excellent taste! :-) I bought it over two years ago (on sale) and the photo you see is the first time I finally wore it. I simply was tired of waiting for the right event or excuse. I thought, "Hey, it's Christmas! Good enough." Also, I guess, I am gaining confidence. I'm kind of at the point where even if somebody does clock me I'm hoping they'll think something like... "Hmmm, is that a transsexual? Well, looks like they made the right decision." But, I like to think that people aren't thinking that way.
So I wore my fancy dress to visit my dermatologist, then to pick up my mail and to the car repair shop. I literally just ran errands in it. The shoes are also over two years old but this was the first time I had worn those as well. I did not intend for them to go together... but they seemed so perfect... when I pulled it all together. I wanted to wear nude pumps... but practicality won. The dress is super comfy as are the shoes... so it is dressy, but yet - easy.
The photos with this post, which I took tonight after a short "girl's night out" (and three glasses of wine,) are of a Wolford dress. Similar theory of styling as the one from two days ago. Comfy and easy... but, well...a touch sexy. This black dress has an entirely different attitude: punk + risqué... Keep in mind this is for a 50+ year old. So my punk is not my daughter's punk. Both dresses are a little body-con. But, thanks to the texture (ruching is my friend,) length and sleeves... the sex gets toned down. Also... wearing flats keeps it real. I love heels, but not tonight.
As a note, what I learned tonight, which is very reassuring, is that older men do seem to like me. I am not used to that at all yet, not at all. Men can be very aggressive and smart. Surprise. I do fear my voice and other remnants of 49 years of "acting male" still waft around me like a cloud. I hope to continue to gain more assurance and will probably fly to Korea to have VFS. But, more importantly, how do I get those men a little younger? (Actually, I put myself in the lesbian camp. But everyone tells me to keep an open mind. Good advice at this stage.)
Kind regards, Dani

Hi everyone how are you? Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season! I know I am! :) so I've been on hormones for 10 months and one day! How crazy is that? Anyways just wanted to show some progress pictures. Also: has anyone else developed to a D cup after such a short period of time? Is this common or should I be worried?

As for my body, I've been asked if I'm intersex because of my hips. The right dress is really flattering on my body I think so I don't worry a ton about my figure. (Except for my shoulders and knobby knees/elbows, and veins!) Overally though, I'm pretty well okay with my body despite minor nitpicks. It's my face that causes me the anxiety.
This photo is about a year old, well before I started hormones.

As for my body, I've been asked if I'm intersex because of my hips. The right dress is really flattering on my body I think so I don't worry a ton about my figure. (Except for my shoulders and knobby knees/elbows, and veins!) Overally though, I'm pretty well okay with my body despite minor nitpicks. It's my face that causes me the anxiety.
This photo is about a year old, well before I started hormones. The second one is also pre hormones, hence the lack of breasts.

Hi everyone how are you? Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season! I know I am! :) so I've been on hormones for 10 months and one day! How crazy is that? Anyways just wanted to show some progress pictures. Also: has anyone else developed to a D cup after such a short period of time? Is this common or should I be worried?

Even though it is too soon for much physical change as it has only been 6 months into hrt, for me it is the eyes.
First pic with blue tee, it was that not often window in which I could see that lifetime of pain.
Second pic with the hat, I use the three A's Aggression, Anger, and Arrogance to cover up.
Third pic with leather jacket was at 3 months hrt, smile is now natural.
Fourth pic is recent and I am really becoming happy.
Next.......well I will wait for the outside to catch up with the inside. Dani

Quote from: Brenda E on January 10, 2015, 05:59:39 PM
Wow. Attention you have! Your before pictures look so...sad! And your current pics are such a night and day change - not so sad anymore. I always find it interesting how the transition process wipes the misery and despair off our faces long before anything else, and how our internal feelings clearly affect how we look on the outside.
You're doing amazing! At this rate, I'm predicting you'll be one of those "WTF?!!?!?!?! No way are you the same person!??!!??!?!?!" before and after transition pictures. ;)
Can't wait to see the end result!

Dani, you have gone from "American badass" to "extremely beautiful woman". The first pic is someone who looks like he could rip me to pieces. The second pic is someone who looks absolutely charming.
Regardless of whether you think HRT hasn't changed you much (and I think it's changed you far more than you see - your skin is so much better, your cheeks are fuller, and your entire complexion is relaxed and happy), you're right about your eyes. And the differences between the two pictures are incredible - you're literally a completely different person.
Your transition thus far has been inspirational and most impressive. Once HRT has been given more time to work its magic, you'll be an even more extraordinary success story. :)
Quote from: ashrock on January 12, 2015, 02:30:55 PM
Real simple one to show what can happen with HRT... Same lighting, camera, angle, expression: only difference between the 2 images is 6 months of HRT (4 and 10 months respectively)

I'm not sure if this is the right place for these but they are kind of before and after! First ones are 5 months on estrogen. Second ones are four months after ffs with Dr Bart van de Ven and 11 months estrogen, 1 month blockers. I can't believe I ever left the house looking like I did!!
Ps please don't run my pics through any facial recognition sites or anything, it's really not something I want to know. ;)

Why, because no one replied? I'll reply!
You look great, it looks like hrt is softening your face already. It's hard to tell much else though because the after photos have a lot of perspective on them. I'd imagine you'd look good with darker hair though.

And there's no reason to run it there. You were already beautiful at 5 months, but I can certainly see why you would be very happy with your FFS results. You're lovely.

Quote from: Dana88 on January 17, 2015, 06:51:40 PM
Not so much a before and after but a before and in progress :-). Sometimes I feel like nothing is happening, and then I look back on older photos and realize that hormones are magic!

Quote from: katiej on January 20, 2015, 08:14:49 PM
Dana, it's amazing how much of a difference 7 weeks has made. But IMO the biggest feminizing factors are your hairstyle and especially the eyebrows. So cute! HRT is definitely going to be very kind to you. :)
Quote from: Dana88 on January 20, 2015, 09:08:10 PM
Thanks! I appreciate it! Yeah, I think my face generally looks softer. Facial hair removal, eyebrow shaping and hair DEFINITELY help :-P. I'm getting antsy about body changes though. Not much difference yet. Skin is softer for sure, and nipples are more sensitive, but no breast growth yet :-/. Trying to be patient. I know 7 weeks is nothing in the grand scheme.
Quote from: katiej on January 21, 2015, 03:16:14 PM
The absolute earliest I've heard is noticeable breast growth in 3 months, but most say 6-12 months at least.
I started about the same time as you (Dec 2), and the only differences I've noticed are slowed growth of body/facial hair, and my pee smells different. I've shared a bathroom with my wife for 15 years, so I know the difference. And mine now smells like hers. Yes it's gross...but it's progress. So...yay!! :)

I'm amazed at how much your jaw feminized! You look so fab!
All of these photos are making me so much more impatient about starting hrt!! :)
Quote from: cindy16 on January 22, 2015, 11:27:42 AM
I think there are a lot of very inspiring pics here.
But Damara, I found it hard to believe you are pre-everything.
Makes me want to experiment more with my looks while I figure out whether/when to transition.

Yeah, I've heard that the 3 or 4 month mark is usually when legit budding finally starts. ::tries to be patient::. Also, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I noticed just this week that mine started to smell different, and also that my body odor after working out is starting to smell sweeter and less musky. Also it seems that skin softness is STARTING to set in.

In addition to my reply above, I want to share my progress so far. I'd really love to hear some opinions. ^_^

Wow that's some real progress in the last few shots, you look great and so much healthier! Your face has softened a lot already, especially for just three months hrt. :)
Quote from: cindy16 on January 23, 2015, 02:23:22 AM
Thanks Damara. Will try to see what I can do without setting off too many alarm bells around me. :P
@ Ennaria: I agree with Squircle, that the last few shots show some real progress, and another proof of why HRT is magic. :)
I also noticed that you've started being more subtle with make-up etc which seems to have helped. Is that the case, or was it just the selection of shots which makes it look that way?

I've still got a long way to go. Still need more electrolysis and paying off my debt & building my credit back up as fast as I can.

I have to say, it's very weird to see the "before" photo now - I almost didn't post this.

Well, after two years of transition, I finally feel safe enough to post here. Here are "before", "virtual" and "after" headshots:
2012
Pre-everything - I was looking (and feeling) kinda grim

This image from Virtual FFS in the UK really helped me decide to go for it!

Next week will be my 1 year anniversary of starting HRT. Last night I went to a super bar party at a local club wearing the outfit in the after picture below. One of the bartenders, who knows me rather well, acted as an MC with a mike: "We are fortunate tonight to have one of the original Seahawk cheerleaders among us, Miss April". It was so kewl!

Okay guys. Ready to get your mind blown? I recently went to the amazing Lady Ellen's here in New Jersey for an image consultation. This consisted of finding out what my sizes and colors were, what kind of cuts work best with my frame, and finally an in depth makeup lesson, because I have no idea how to do any of it. So. Here's the results from almost two years of transitioning.

Yeah, the site is back up!
Ok, this picture isn't the best, the lighting is low which makes me look a little paler than I am, but I am quite pale. I am doing electro every week so only get about a day where I can shave and not look deformed, so not much time to figure out makeup. I have long way to go, but I am starting to like the changes to my face. I think I am doing ok for 5 months at 42.
October? 2013 about 10 months prior.

Riley, you're beautiful, you've transitioned gorgeously, it's so amazing to see you smile after 2 years and all of the negative posts that I saw you make in the past, and congratulations on your upcoming GCS! :)
Quote from: JLT1 on February 05, 2015, 04:01:16 PM
I was very happy when I saw this post. We both started here about the same time. I believe that your road has been tougher though. Your smile gave me tears.
You look great.
Big Hugs,

Yeah, I think you are doing great for 42. I love the goth look!
It's funny, the pic of you from 10 months ago is very similar to how I used to look before transition. We could almost have beenbrothers... secret sisters :P :D
Aw heck, I'll post a photo for reference:

Okay, maybe not siblings, but cousins maybe. Anyway, it's great to see another transitioner at close to the same age (I'm 39). Keep up the electro as often as your wallet and regrowth rate will allow. That's the only thing I wish I'd been more aggressive with. It's embarrassing on days like today when I'm growing my facial hair out for electro and have to interact with others while doing so :-\

This cracks me up as well, loved IT Crowd, and I am a fellow alumni of tech support. I dig your crazy (in a good way) hair color combinations and patterns.
I used to do support for Humongous Games, then Infogrames which became Atari. This was all the same company in the same building, I was at Humongous on 9/11.
My favorites were:
Me: "Ok, go to Start..."
Them: "WHOA, WHOA, Slow down..."
And guys from the south in a heavy accent would say "Do what now?"
Quote from: JustASeq on February 08, 2015, 12:27:34 PM

Such a change to the appearance of your face when you have hair. If you are only just shy of 2 months, Girl, you are going to be a knock out in my opinion from what I am seeing.
Quote from: Riley Skye on February 08, 2015, 01:02:53 AM
Awe thanks for the happy feels gals :D
It has been such a long journey in transition and I have so much left to do with my mental health but I can finally start finishing up the legal side of my transition. It is so amazing to think how much just a couple years makes for all the good and bad. I've been having a real rough week but this made me smile a lot :)

Quote from: JLT1 on February 14, 2015, 07:01:55 PMI got same problem, not loosing muscles was BIG issue for me, but now i'm eating healthy, and i workout 5 times a week HIIT cardio focused on lower body/core, i guess this is the reason why my muscles starts dissapearing and i got lots of compliments about my ''fit'' look and how young i look :-)

Damara, you look really pretty, and as I've said before, I find it hard to believe you are not even on HRT yet.
If I may ask, is it just growing out your hair and facial hair removal, or you've done anything else too in your transition so far?

I haven't had any facial hair removal yet! D:

Well I haven't been on Susan's much in a few months, but I know I always enjoyed seeing before and after pictures when I was starting out so I figured I would update mine for anyone who is curious.
The photos aren't the best and I'm planning to make a more formal timeline thing soon but in the meantime here it is:

Ha thanks, no FFS yet. However, it is looking like I will have it with Mayer sometime late July.
I'm a little bit amazed myself, I've lost 50+ pounds, but my face and nose has really thinned out. Probably a combination of HRT and weight loss. I'm also 35 btw, so I'm pretty happy about my results.

I chime in here once in a while.
I just want to remind those of you who have not started transition, or wonder if you should ever start, they you too may get similar results compared to the beautiful ladies in here.
The changes are often not AS drastic as they appear at first glance. The changes are not to bone structure, not without FFS, it is just, we get to look at a person after their dysphoria lifted.
The biggest difference in most who post to this thread, is a peace of mind. A desire after years of dysphoria to look at ourselves in the mirror and finally put some time and effort into what we see. A newly discovered joy in looking at pictures of ourselves. A pride in finally taking the leap of faith and transitioning.
If you take the leap and put in the effort, you too will see results.
People will recognize your progress in photos as well as in real life. That joy is infectious.

So, if a pre-T guy can feel that about first EVER shave, I think you'll be fine with makeup! :D
Comparison shots of 24 y.o. / 30 (or smth) y.o. / coming close to 37 years.
It is a bit of pity that I dont have any photos of younger age and thus I will never be able to make those "whole life timeline" videos. Buuuuut, on the other hand, it does not really matter :).
So, my message is - You can do it (if such a lazy and self-conscious person as me could, then You can do even better! Gah, I am over 21 months on HRT and still have no clue how to use makeup! Shame :D).

Quote from: ♡ Emily ♡ on February 27, 2015, 02:02:35 AMThe stubble is a different story from the actual act of shaving. I have terribly sensitive skin (was a great excuse to not wear makeup at least!) so am learning to do the shave and cope with the zit aftermath! :-\
Hey, thanks for Your kind words :). That sword is long gone (but I still have three others - falchion and two baskethilts)- tucked away) - You can have them if You can handle them, dude, plus a sack with full set of german gothic plate armor :). Shaving... this "novelty" might kinda grow old with time :). I always wondered if guys feel the same when having that annoying and irritating stubble or for them it is different (I once decided that it might be cool to have that "three day stubble" look, eventually just could not bear that sensation.

Mah gawd. The more I look, the more I start to consider transition...y'all give me hope that I can go from goofy, gangling guy to gorgeous, gallivanting girl!
Now if I could just make up my mind about it 100%...
Quote from: Rotika on March 13, 2015, 08:34:11 AM
For some.. it's not really a decision or choice. It's more of a need. Like myself. I really need to transition. To be happy. As a guy.. I was such a jerk. Barely smiled. I had no idea what a bubbly/fun loving girl was inside my head wanting out. Maybe you have have one inside too? Do what you have to. Regret nothing. Just be you hun. If you need help figuring that out.. I'd suggest going to a gender therapist for a minute just to get some more perspective on it all. And there's a hundred or more people on here that'd love to help you. :)
Quote from: Rotika on March 13, 2015, 08:34:11 AMWell, the thing is, I'm really fairly okay with my body, just needs a few changes. It's more in how I'm treated. I want to be seen as female, because that's how I identify, but...I don't think that's going to be possible without transitioning.

April 2014. On the bus. Really depressed at this point and trying to make the final fight against transition, interlaced with realizing I couldn't fight much longer. I almost feel like crying seeing the misery in my eyes looking back at this old photo.

April 2014. On the bus. Really depressed at this point and trying to make the final fight against transition, interlaced with realizing I couldn't fight much longer. I almost feel like crying seeing the misery in my eyes looking back at this old photo.

April 2015. 2 Months+ HRT. First makeup try, I'm feeling WAY better. It's scary moving forward, but scarier to turn back. Never going back. :)

Edit: Love your outfit and your hair style too, I tried to do something similar with my hair back when it was shorter, but I think it turned on better on you =P

Here's some pictures of my transition. The first one is while I was still in denial, early 2013. Second is when I accepted being trans, shaved my face and decided I was going to start transition, late 2013. Third is right before starting hormones, mid 2014. Fourth is two months on HRT, November 2014. The other three pics are from the last couple days, 6 months hrt

I have had just 6 months of hrt, and a small amount of understanding of makeup and clothes on the female side. Trimmed eyebrows also along with hair getting longer and a cute hat. So how am I doing?

So this is me after one year of HRT. I literally cannot explain how much better I feel about myself. Yes, I have other problems. But this... this is no longer one of them. It's the best decision I've ever made for myself, hands down.
I just... wanted to share this with you guys. ;)

I'M OFFICIALLY SIX MONTHS TODAY!!
The first six months have really been eye opening and allowing me to slowly open up towards myself and do something I've never done before.
Six Months later, I'm well on my way to happiness!
And I've still got a long way to go!
My confidence in myself is improving each day, I'm liking who I'm becoming and it's been one crazy adventure!
Hell I never took selfies before and right now I CAN'T STOP TAKING THEM!!
I can't do this without the love and support of friends and family and I just cannot words right now!
It's been f*****g incredible!
I'm finally alive. :D
And I still got more to go.

Quote from: Marly on May 25, 2015, 12:22:25 AMFantastic! :)
you might get a kick outta this one. first pic was taken 7 months ago, 60lbs heavier and a lame goatee.

I do not like the way the pictures I take with my DSLR come out. My skin is all messed up from electrolysis every single day of the week now. This was actually a week after electrolysis and I can still see how it messed up my skin. That camera is too sharp and picks out every little flaw. I swear up and down to you my skin looks better in person. Literally the only reason I am willing to share these at all is because I was out of town and thus missed one appointment so I was less messed up than usual when I took these photos. It's also not easy to take good selfies from that close with that sort of lens.

Quote from: Kyra553 on June 03, 2015, 11:51:59 AM
Two years of before and after :o
Two years ago I looked at this photo as a 225 pound man and could no longer stand how I appeared or how anything I did, could ever mean anything to me. I looked at this photo and decided to finally start being the person who I knew I should of been in the beginning. The many many years of questioning myself "why do I want to be a girl" seemed to finally push me to change.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F1_1.jpg&hash=251bc7215888519963de0ce4bd25a1e9af8fb5a1)
So I tried on a wig for the first time and I couldn't stop staring at myself for an entire afternoon.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F2_1.jpg&hash=91a4d2b683a1596d6e6c0297d3683b4cb14a6262)
I began attending therapy to determine if I truly had gender dysphoria. I also began dieting and exercising every morning. My hair had a huge balding patch in the front and it has been the vain of many struggles. However I stopped having my hair buzzed cut and it began to grow.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F3_1.jpg&hash=2d7b4fcc207d81d1b353c3e71ed09280afa3376a)

Then the hard part began, I started to learn and practice how to walk, talk, interact, and live as a woman. Even though I knew my appearances was horrid. My therapist still recommended I should dress more often instead of only at home on the weekends. I never left the house because it was not worth any negative social interaction looking like a man in a dress in my mind.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F5.jpg&hash=46fbd07cdcdf31b24c4db44bf78de5bc560b2a4a)
After enduring therapy for six months and finally beginning hormone replacement therapy, I called a close to year one. This was the last photo I saved as male me. This was the starting point of my happiness and an end to constantly asking myself "why".
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F6.jpg&hash=a40138ff0205f7f0c99afb67ac3405271731e76f)
By some miracle I managed to find a fellow transsexual in my local town my same age. We became instant friends and I regard her as the truest friend I have ever had. She truly helped me to have confidence and I finally found someone who understood what I couldn't explain to others.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F7.jpg&hash=7d2d6e4e15f6a47dfbf5a2907e7601319284dd19)
So we move in together and share a house as friends. By this point I have lost 65 pounds and with waist cinching eight hours a day. My figure truly started to show and I could wear normal women sized clothes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F8.jpg&hash=554481946508273e0440b4d82d50a8a70a8dbf1e)
Nine months of HRT pass by and I'm tearing myself apart having to switch from a man at work to a female at home. Luckily I kept my HR department at work up to date about my transition since day one of therapy. So my HR sets up a meeting with the Warden (the big cheese) and all they truly wanted to know was is if I'm sure about this and inform me of the increased danger of this in prison. So after explaining how I need to do this and how its been on my mind since early childhood. I was given the OK and began fulltime as a female. So yes I work as a corrections officer and yes I transitioned while working in a male prison. This photo is my first day as a full time female. :angel:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F9.jpg&hash=fba232e1a6c097fb4d4b865fb4fd1311f144a056)
My hair is still growing out but I feel confident in how I look and how I speak. I'm only going to further improve with time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F10.jpg&hash=babea7337ef1a4b223ea337481492f87827c7d71)
So there it is, my full story with zero holding back! Two years as of today, of my hard work, stress, and determination is posted before you. But the best part out of all of this is...I can finally begin my life the way I have always felt it should have been. I've never been this happy and go getting in my life. All the hard times and pain was worth it, I cant wait for the future instead of dreading it now. :)

I Call shenanigans I think the real reason why they don't want you to smile in those photos is because they all want you to be depressed that you're not living in New York City hahaha just kidding
It's odd you can't smile though...But hey a female license is a female license!

You are looking good. Your body has definitely seen some feminization. I would be happy with that kind of development

As a fellow New Jersey resident I also loathe the no smiling policy which makes me look like a serial killer.

Two years of before and after :o
Two years ago I looked at this photo as a 225 pound man and could no longer stand how I appeared or how anything I did, could ever mean anything to me. I looked at this photo and decided to finally start being the person who I knew I should of been in the beginning. The many many years of questioning myself "why do I want to be a girl" seemed to finally push me to change.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F1_1.jpg&hash=251bc7215888519963de0ce4bd25a1e9af8fb5a1)
So I tried on a wig for the first time and I couldn't stop staring at myself for an entire afternoon.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F2_1.jpg&hash=91a4d2b683a1596d6e6c0297d3683b4cb14a6262)
I began attending therapy to determine if I truly had gender dysphoria. I also began dieting and exercising every morning. My hair had a huge balding patch in the front and it has been the vain of many struggles. However I stopped having my hair buzzed cut and it began to grow.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F3_1.jpg&hash=2d7b4fcc207d81d1b353c3e71ed09280afa3376a)

Then the hard part began, I started to learn and practice how to walk, talk, interact, and live as a woman. Even though I knew my appearances was horrid. My therapist still recommended I should dress more often instead of only at home on the weekends. I never left the house because it was not worth any negative social interaction looking like a man in a dress in my mind.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F5.jpg&hash=46fbd07cdcdf31b24c4db44bf78de5bc560b2a4a)
After enduring therapy for six months and finally beginning hormone replacement therapy, I called a close to year one. This was the last photo I saved as male me. This was the starting point of my happiness and an end to constantly asking myself "why".
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F6.jpg&hash=a40138ff0205f7f0c99afb67ac3405271731e76f)
By some miracle I managed to find a fellow transsexual in my local town my same age. We became instant friends and I regard her as the truest friend I have ever had. She truly helped me to have confidence and I finally found someone who understood what I couldn't explain to others.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F7.jpg&hash=7d2d6e4e15f6a47dfbf5a2907e7601319284dd19)
So we move in together and share a house as friends. By this point I have lost 65 pounds and with waist cinching eight hours a day. My figure truly started to show and I could wear normal women sized clothes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F8.jpg&hash=554481946508273e0440b4d82d50a8a70a8dbf1e)
Nine months of HRT pass by and I'm tearing myself apart having to switch from a man at work to a female at home. Luckily I kept my HR department at work up to date about my transition since day one of therapy. So my HR sets up a meeting with the Warden (the big cheese) and all they truly wanted to know was is if I'm sure about this and inform me of the increased danger of this in prison. So after explaining how I need to do this and how its been on my mind since early childhood. I was given the OK and began fulltime as a female. So yes I work as a corrections officer and yes I transitioned while working in a male prison. This photo is my first day as a full time female. :angel:

My hair is still growing out but I feel confident in how I look and how I speak. I'm only going to further improve with time.

So there it is, my full story with zero holding back! Two years as of today, of my hard work, stress, and determination is posted before you. But the best part out of all of this is...I can finally begin my life the way I have always felt it should have been. I've never been this happy and go getting in my life. All the hard times and pain was worth it, I cant wait for the future instead of dreading it now. :)

Sorry I worded it funny. I don't mean that I think it changed your bone structure. I think what your breast augmentation did besides making you boobs bigger was it made your overall shape much more feminine. Your BA really did a lot for your proportions :D

Hi Here is my before and after, this is my first time showing my before. :o I start back in the day that we don't really have camera on the phone so I didn't have much picture of me before it was 2003. So I hope this post is not too long
Me at 2003 (as fully a complete guy)
On my first years I didn't take much photo, as I hated myself, I dress up occasionally. I go around with wig, I thought I never going to be a woman. I want all operation in the world to make me feminine. I go on a crazy diet and lose 20lbs. It was the most depress time of my life. Very low self esteem and feel bad with social.
and This is my first dress up with a wig. This was like 2005 (I already forget this, this thread make me dig up these ten years photo again) ;D This time my mind start to be like, I don't care anymore, I overcame the depress feeling. I gonna do the best for myself. I don't know if I going to be a woman or not, but I will just go on. I start going out to people, everyone, friends, parent, etc. As I was social independent, and job and financial independent, so I was like I don't cae if you accept me or not, I am here to inform you that I am a woman!! inside out. I lose some friend though but I feel so good at that time ^__^ It's like a relief feeling.
Then I start HRT and grow my own hair :D , no more wig ( I still keep that wig ) and this is me 1 year after HRT. I went to a party in devil costume.
And that time of my life, I call "Anything make beauty, you tell me" I start doing every things that make a woman look pretty, I learn many technique of make up, hair do, spa myself, treatment. I get hair removal laser treatment at my face and my leg twice a month for 12 months straight up. I was super pampering myself, I was really strict about my routine beauty treatment, I scrubed my skin every 4 days, I do facial mask every weeks with different formula, I cream myself everyday, etc. And this is the second year HRT result
That time was the big change, I was surprise too! never though so. And then on the third to forth year it start to go to the peak of transition, I think I look the best on that time.
My first swim suit photo
Then after that, it more like try to keep yourself like that ;D and I start to want to have a little sexy girl masculine look so I start to go to gym again, but doing different exercise than when I was a guy and this is the result, this is me last year
so the exercise I regular do at that time was the running, abs works like sit up, I turn on youtube and search "train like an angle of Victoria Secret and regular do it. And it turn out really healthy. I use to be really afraid of exercise when I first start transition as I don't want any muscle, but after sometime I learn that if you are on HRT you won't really gain that muscle like guy did.
And today, it's been more than ten years, I admit that I really loose myself. I didn't really care much on myself. I enjoy eating no more control!!! my weight is getting over control, too many fat covering me. I getting older, I start to gain wrinkel, scar. now I try to fight weight control, the weight keep going up and not come down. I try to keep myself look young, even though I am not LOL. I plan that I will turn 50s like Madonna ;D . And today, I still didn't get any surgery that I plan on the first year of transition, I just get the laser treatment for hair and continuously HRT. I still plan on doing breast imp, but something always came up. I went several doctor and sit right there and something make me decide " let's do it later then " :P And I am pretty scare of getting cut too. I didn't even get the ear pierce as I am too scare :o
This is recent of me,

I was super pampering myself, I was really strict about my routine beauty treatment, I scrubed my skin every 4 days, I do facial mask every weeks with different formula, I cream myself everyday, etc. And this is the second year HRT result
That time was the big change, I was surprise too! never though so. And then on the third to forth year it start to go to the peak of transition, I think I look the best on that time.
My first swim suit photo
Then after that, it more like try to keep yourself like that ;D and I start to want to have a little sexy girl masculine look so I start to go to gym again, but doing different exercise than when I was a guy and this is the result, this is me last year
so the exercise I regular do at that time was the running, abs works like sit up, I turn on youtube and search "train like an angle of Victoria Secret and regular do it. And it turn out really healthy. I use to be really afraid of exercise when I first start transition as I don't want any muscle, but after sometime I learn that if you are on HRT you won't really gain that muscle like guy did.
And today, it's been more than ten years, I admit that I really loose myself. I didn't really care much on myself. I enjoy eating no more control!!! my weight is getting over control, too many fat covering me. I getting older, I start to gain wrinkel, scar. now I try to fight weight control, the weight keep going up and not come down. I try to keep myself look young, even though I am not LOL. I plan that I will turn 50s like Madonna ;D . And today, I still didn't get any surgery that I plan on the first year of transition, I just get the laser treatment for hair and continuously HRT. I still plan on doing breast imp, but something always came up. I went several doctor and sit right there and something make me decide " let's do it later then " :P And I am pretty scare of getting cut too. I didn't even get the ear pierce as I am too scare :o
This is recent of me,

Congrats!Asian genes :) I noticed that HRT works very well for ladies of Asian descent.
eg Alicia Liu or some of my Facebook friends..they achieved great results.

Amazing journey Naeree! And you dont look old at all!! :angel:
Quote from: barbie on June 20, 2015, 12:50:20 PMWow you are stunning and so feminine without hrt :D
You look very natural on that photo, which is sharp and clear.
I have never been on HRT, always hesitating to show any Before and After. I could enjoy expressing my femininity even without HRT.

Co-workers seem like a mix bag, most are pretty quiet about everything while others are very supportive and a few look at me like "your evil now" expressions. So to bad so sad for the haters. I did not transition to please them! But overall co-workers seem unchanged with how they interact with me. Though I'm sure the rumor mill is turning full speed because I've already heard stories of myself... ;)
As for inmates they constantly call me sir or bro or dude or F*g or every foul word you can think of. Even despite the fact almost none of them have seen me as a male and they somehow "magically" believe I look like a man. So foul name calling is an everyday thing I expect to hear now, so I just shrug it off as pointless bigots. But thankfully those "types" of inmates are in the minority. The actual majority just think I'm the new hot babe in town. lol :angel: So everyone wants to talk about something and I hear cat calls when I'm not looking from time to time. (But secretly I enjoy hearing the positive "signs" of transition that I'm not suppose to acknowledge while at work. :laugh:)
One of my favorite quotes from an inmate that I over heard. " I dont care if she was a dude! I don't I believe it just look at her! Shes F***ing hot and better looking than most women around here!".

I do not like the way the pictures I take with my DSLR come out. My skin is all messed up from electrolysis every single day of the week now. This was actually a week after electrolysis and I can still see how it messed up my skin. That camera is too sharp and picks out every little flaw. I swear up and down to you my skin looks better in person. Literally the only reason I am willing to share these at all is because I was out of town and thus missed one appointment so I was less messed up than usual when I took these photos. It's also not easy to take good selfies from that close with that sort of lens.

I once thought that the chances of ever seeing me in the mirror, would never become a reality. Now I know that dreams can come true. I'm 43 years old, but never in my life have I felt better!

I found the oldest picture the I could of me.
This was taken sometime in winter 2013 around January I believe. Back then I was weighing in around 220lbs and thankfully have lost a lot of it.
And me yesterday

Way to go Raven! Great job on the weight loss.
Here's a different before after comparison of me. I was 240 lbs in the before and 215 lbs in the after.

You are definitely looking MUCH younger and leaning into more feminine side. 9 months on HRT is very little and there are big changes ahead!

Quote from: Dana88 on August 12, 2015, 06:05:12 PM
Thank you!!! Y'all know how to make a gal feel good about herself :-).
And thanks, my hair is one of my favorite features. Male pattern baldness runs in my family on my mom's side and I was one of three boys, obviously pre transitioning, and then on my mom's side I have five male cousins. So we always used to say, at least one of the eight of us is gonna go bald... Now it's only one of 7 boys muwahaha. Oh life after quitting manhood haha. I'm just glad that if it was going to be me, I started HRT before I had any thinning haha. Though I don't think I would have gone bald. My hair was super thick even pre transition with no sign of thinning or receding at 25. My goal is to grow it out to Kardashian length :-).

A long time ago when I was getting a haircut, I mentioned my fear of going bald, and the woman cutting my hair said that most of the time in her experience, if someone is going to go bald, she sees signs of it as young as 19/20. So if you don't see any signs of it yet, you're probably okay!

It won't happen overnight but, if you're worried about hairloss you should probably think about taking finasteride. It lowers the DHT in your system that causes hair loss.

Huh? Will this work?
First picture was 1973 (age 16). Second picture was 1981 (work ID). Third picture was 1996 (MVD licence).
Sorry, I have nothing newer. I'm a photographer, I take pictures; people don't take pictures of me.

That's fantastic!! You look related - sort of like brother and sister maybe? But it's really hard to say that you're definitely the same person. I'm a little jealous of how good that really is - even with the long hair you look guy to me in the first picture. Yet it's like the male has just vanished in the second!! What did you do to him?!? ;)

In fact I am really his sister. And you know what, he just pissed me off, so I get rid of him and buried in the garden.
Okay just kidding :D.
Thank you for the nice reply :). I tried to make comparison reliable, so I have chosen same place and I didn't have any make-up etc... I like your idea of brother and sister, it is what I was thinking about when I palced the photos side by side.

Wow Alexandria, what an amazing journey you've made :)
Quote from: Kyra553 on June 03, 2015, 11:51:59 AMYou look amazing! Care to share waist cinching information? Would love some reputable resources. Well done!
Two years of before and after :o
Two years ago I looked at this photo as a 225 pound man and could no longer stand how I appeared or how anything I did, could ever mean anything to me. I looked at this photo and decided to finally start being the person who I knew I should of been in the beginning. The many many years of questioning myself "why do I want to be a girl" seemed to finally push me to change.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F1_1.jpg&hash=251bc7215888519963de0ce4bd25a1e9af8fb5a1)
So I tried on a wig for the first time and I couldn't stop staring at myself for an entire afternoon.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F2_1.jpg&hash=91a4d2b683a1596d6e6c0297d3683b4cb14a6262)
I began attending therapy to determine if I truly had gender dysphoria. I also began dieting and exercising every morning. My hair had a huge balding patch in the front and it has been the vain of many struggles. However I stopped having my hair buzzed cut and it began to grow.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F3_1.jpg&hash=2d7b4fcc207d81d1b353c3e71ed09280afa3376a)
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F4_1.jpg&hash=3c1fd7e3a03e87fe6e7d881b8fc39c745fb8dfee)
Then the hard part began, I started to learn and practice how to walk, talk, interact, and live as a woman. Even though I knew my appearances was horrid. My therapist still recommended I should dress more often instead of only at home on the weekends. I never left the house because it was not worth any negative social interaction looking like a man in a dress in my mind.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F5.jpg&hash=46fbd07cdcdf31b24c4db44bf78de5bc560b2a4a)
After enduring therapy for six months and finally beginning hormone replacement therapy, I called a close to year one. This was the last photo I saved as male me. This was the starting point of my happiness and an end to constantly asking myself "why".
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F6.jpg&hash=a40138ff0205f7f0c99afb67ac3405271731e76f)
By some miracle I managed to find a fellow transsexual in my local town my same age. We became instant friends and I regard her as the truest friend I have ever had. She truly helped me to have confidence and I finally found someone who understood what I couldn't explain to others.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F7.jpg&hash=7d2d6e4e15f6a47dfbf5a2907e7601319284dd19)
So we move in together and share a house as friends. By this point I have lost 65 pounds and with waist cinching eight hours a day. My figure truly started to show and I could wear normal women sized clothes.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F8.jpg&hash=554481946508273e0440b4d82d50a8a70a8dbf1e)
Nine months of HRT pass by and I'm tearing myself apart having to switch from a man at work to a female at home. Luckily I kept my HR department at work up to date about my transition since day one of therapy. So my HR sets up a meeting with the Warden (the big cheese) and all they truly wanted to know was is if I'm sure about this and inform me of the increased danger of this in prison. So after explaining how I need to do this and how its been on my mind since early childhood. I was given the OK and began fulltime as a female. So yes I work as a corrections officer and yes I transitioned while working in a male prison. This photo is my first day as a full time female. :angel:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F9.jpg&hash=fba232e1a6c097fb4d4b865fb4fd1311f144a056)
My hair is still growing out but I feel confident in how I look and how I speak. I'm only going to further improve with time.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi271.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj147%2FNikolai53%2F10.jpg&hash=babea7337ef1a4b223ea337481492f87827c7d71)
So there it is, my full story with zero holding back! Two years as of today, of my hard work, stress, and determination is posted before you. But the best part out of all of this is...I can finally begin my life the way I have always felt it should have been. I've never been this happy and go getting in my life. All the hard times and pain was worth it, I cant wait for the future instead of dreading it now. :)

No tricks here. It is amazing how FFS can take years off one's face. The transformation is even more remarkable compared to my appearance before transition.

Here I am after 10 months of HRT but before FSS (left) and then 13 months later (5 months after FFS)

With Mariah's help and like's reply we'll get this posted correctly to this thread; I removed all the parentheses.

Here goes for your comment.

1973 (age 16 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1973-02-xx-kathy-nick-slim-at-thasos-e1437236738121.jpg?w=169&h=205%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1973-02-xx-kathy-nick-slim-at-thasos-e1437236738121.jpg?w=169&h=205)
This picture of Slim and me (my sister Kathy to my right) was taken at Thasos, a Greek island near where we resided our second year living at Greece.
1976 (age 20 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1976-08-follansbee-3-slim-and-boyuks-ohio-river-view1-e1437489174306.jpg?w=169&h=277%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1976-08-follansbee-3-slim-and-boyuks-ohio-river-view1-e1437489174306.jpg?w=169&h=277)
This picture of Slim and me was taken when I did not know the term 'stealth' in those days, but that was what I had been doing since August 1974 when I began my transition. Neither my dad (to my left) nor any other relative had the slightest idea what I had been doing for two years as well as the future that I planned, my feminine protesting notwithstanding.
1981 (age 24 - male) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1981-xx-xx-work-id-photographs-e1437490720808.jpg?w=167&h=176%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1981-xx-xx-work-id-photographs-e1437490720808.jpg?w=167&h=176)
This picture was what people saw in 1981. ERT was too late to stop that shadow. Oh well, it would be gone in a few years anyway.
1985 (age 29 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id-e1443824984134.jpg?w=173&h=179%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id-e1443824984134.jpg?w=173&h=179)
This picture was from my Pima Community College student ID. This is similar whom both a diner and a gas station operator saw that day a month or so earlier when I appeared as Sharon to them; they did not recognise me from when they last saw me as my male predecessor Nick (1980). Now don't I appear chipper! Look, no more shadow! It's a wonder what ERT, plucking, and electrolysis did since 1979. I boldly wore no make-up that day of student ID pictures.
1988 (age 32 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id1-e1443825083731.jpg?w=173&h=208%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/1985-08-xx-pima-cc-id-1988-xx-xx-des-id1-e1443825083731.jpg?w=173&h=208)
This next photograph was from my Food Stamps ID card. My counsellor was correct – long hair with the part in the middle made my long face appear longer. I later clipt off 14 inches and still had hair shoulder length. Of course I kept it - I have three of them.
1996 (age 40 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1996-07-23-mvd-licence-use-this4-e1436453356886.jpg?w=164&h=227%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/1996-07-23-mvd-licence-use-this4-e1436453356886.jpg?w=164&h=227)
This next picture was from my 1996 MVD drivers licence. Not bad for an MVD picture. The MVD picture that followed this picture made my teeth appear black. AGH! I refuse to post my current MVD picture, it is THAT bad.
2015 (age 59 - female) (https://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/2015-09-28-passport-photograph-e1443825176671.jpg?w=171&h=165%5Dhttps://slimandme.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/2015-09-28-passport-photograph-e1443825176671.jpg?w=171&h=165)
This final photograph, for my passport, is my present appearance. The Passport agency prohibits applicants from smiling in their official picture – so I smirked. I did not want that stern look, eh.

Truly astonishing. One of the finest jobs I've ever seen. May I ask who did your FFS and what procedures? Thanks!

It's good too see you all could transistion. And it's very motivation too see the 'before and after' pictures. But do anybody know where the FTM-before and after pictures are? I hasn't seen any FTM thread like this at Susans place. Only MTF.

My FFS was performed by Drs. Luis Capitan and Raul Bellinga of Facial Team in Marbella Spain. I had forehead reconstruction, rhinoplasty, lip lift and trachea shave. Here is a better view of what they were able to accomplish (3 months post-op)

So maybe it's redundant to say it since you did but,
Awesome! Looking great girl!
Quote from: Paige on November 02, 2015, 09:30:50 PMThanks! Got a small amount of electrolysis, I kinda switched gears to get the genitals done before SRS but planning on getting more on the face since the hair is there still., just blonde. A lot of the darker hairs are gone from a combination of HRT and the small amount of electro I got on my face.
Wow that's quite the change. I'm amazed there is no signs of the beard. Did you get laser, electrolysis or both?
Thanks,
Paige :)
Quote from: amber roskamp on November 07, 2015, 09:25:35 PMWow! You looked great before but even lovelier now! I know part of it is the hormones but I'll bet most of it is confidence!
Ok so I found a picture from almost exactly a year ago. Also a little over a month before I started hrt.

So I took another self to show what almost 11 months on hormones has done for me.

I'm 13 months today on Hormones so have another before and after! :D
I'll be honest, this scared me. Look at how freaking different I look now compared to the first pic!
My head shape was more fatter back then, my hair receded and my skin was horrible.
Internally I'm more paranoid in thinking I still look like the left one, but that is not true. It's hard convincing myself since I had that image of me for 25+ years. @_@
I'm completely different now and just need time for my new self to settle.

Quote from: Eevee on November 09, 2015, 08:13:42 PM
It's been a bit over a year since I started transitioning, so I thought I'd show my progress even though I haven't been active here. I'm not really happy with the way I look, but I decided I'd take the picture without any makeup for a more true image of the differences.
Before:

About the only big difference I'm noticing with myself is that I am trying to smile more. It's working well enough to keep me from hating myself entirely. My boyfriend keeps telling me that I look great, but I have a tough time believing him every time I look at myself.

Archlord, looking good ;)... you're blessed with a feminine face, and very cute features!! You should definitely take a look into a foundation, helps with the shadow a ton. Luckily it looks like your facial hair either comes off very nicely or is thinner, and I bet you won't need much to cover. But laser +1!
Ok so Here is a before, middle, and after of me going from boy mode to girl mode today. It was the first time I ever stepped out of the house at Kelsey. I put on my big girl panties and went to the ATM for money, and then to my Therapy appointment, woohoo! My Therapist said she had to do a double take, didn't recognize me at first. I did get 'clocked' so to speak pretty bad, and the guy said 'thanks man' at the end of our convo, but what more can I expect LOL.
Anywho, it was an experience, one I'll need to become more confident with ;) No Hormones yet, my therapist is referring me to someone more versed in GID who can write the appropriate letters. I hope this isn't a before and after hormone thread? I have read through all 3 but somehow missed if it is or isn't :facepalm:

I tried to get a closer shave and to apply a little councealer on upper lip beard zone ( i applied it once, waited 30 min and applied another time). My face is all natural except this (no foundation, no mascara, no eyeliner, no blush, no lipstick, really my face).
is it better for the shadows? :)

15 months after the start of transition, 14mo HRT today
I'm much happier now. Pain replaced with levelnes, numbness replaced with the ability to feel a full range of emotions, hardly want a drink these days. Life is much more challenging yet so much more better!

Yeah. It took about two years total. Going vegan really brought it home for the final 50. I have put a little back on as I am not very active lately, but I am going to get it under control.
I am at 165. Still feel kinda fat. I never managed to get a 28 inch waist.

Been on hrt for 31 months, though the first year was very light, so really about 20 months of solid treatment.
I am 31 years old, so boohoo the naysayers, you can start at any age and look fabo!

4 months HRT - obligatory facial hair pic to begin with!
I am having complete hair regrowth, which makes me incredibly happy. Also, note in the second pic the new hair growing in my eyebrows. They are completely changing shape - I didn't know this could happen!

I think you look sexy in both male and female mode. You may try look either androgynously feminine or androgynously masculine.
And, the thong is a bikini panty?

People always tell me how hot of a guy I was, and follow it up with, why did you transition, you were so hot!. I know alot of people take offense to such comments, but I never do, I like that people think I'm hot neither way :) they usually follow up with questions about my penis. But it's all in good fun :)

Everyone is looking so remarkable! I was doing an update on my surgery for a plastic surgery site and thought I would share my before and after I made to post there. The picture on the left is from February of this year and the one on the right is from Dec 19th. Not even a year yet.

It's hard to compare the two due to the dryink glass, but you don't look bad at all. I can't wait to see how you look after being on HRT longer.

P.S. Sorry I'm such a sap, but I've been having a down day, thinking about what lies ahead and how slowly time seems to move sometimes, particularly when we wished for a quantum leap ahead. My second gender therapist session is Thursday. I have a lot to talk to her about and need the courage to get it all out and you have given it to me.

So I really wasn't planning on adding to before and after as I just got going really, but the weight loss and laser show and maybe a hormones a bit as well, but I've only been on estrogen for 7 weeks. I didn't really see much difference in my face until I went to get a new passport photo today and pulled out the old one :P
I'm about 30 lbs down since last year and 60 lbs down from my all time heaviest after quitting smoking.
My only wish is that I started at 23 instead of 33 but wasn't ready. Thought I can manage it and live with the condition forever but I was wrong :)
This was me last spring when I made the decision to begin.

And this was in July 2015 (continuing on the modeling-theme) where I was a hair model for a Swedish company.
So now i just need to land a bikini-contract for the summer as a post-srs photo! ;)

It feels a bit silly to post mine because it's so early. I've been on E for 1 month but it's the lowest dose really. I start everything (good dosage, hair removal etc) next month. So any changes you can see are padding and makeup. But I feel better about myself already :)
These before pictures make me look happy in front of the camera but I wasn't. There are very few pics of me. These are pretty much all I have!
This is around the age of 25. Absolutely should have started here.

This is my most recent pic but about a month ago actually. I'm growing out my natural hair but it's still short. It's very black so I thought I'd get a new wig so it isn't such a drastic change when I eventually start going wigless!

Since taking that pic I do actually have some slight breast grown even from my hilariously low dosage. Apart from that no other changes except mentally :) all kicks off for me next month :D

Quote from: Rotika on May 06, 2016, 03:14:22 AM
I feel like I've gone from teenager to adult twice in my life now
2007 - I was literally a teenage pot smoking junky
2010 - Fixed myself.
2013 - Makeup? Yeah lets try it. LOL
2016 - Fixed myself.
It's funny. In 2007 I looked at that picture of myself and liked it. Now I just keep it to remind me where I came from
I never thought I'd show anyone the picture from 2013. That was my very first time ever trying makeup. I'd done my eyeliner and had a goth stage as a kid.. But never this. But I thought I looked fabulous at the time too lol
I cannot believe who I am now. But I love it. I just hope in a month I don't look at the 2016 picture and hate it as much as I do the others.

A link cause I'm super self conscious. I'm only at three months, but I already would like to stop being called "sir". I swear people are just being mean when they do it. I have dates at the bottom of them as I'm taking one photo a month and month three was where I noticed a difference. The January photo is literally what I used to be. Originally I was going to wait till six months to "unveil" myself, however my mom is visiting next month(!) so I figured I'd unveil at five if I pass what I call the "mom test". My hair's a bit longer now and yeesh...why was my hair a mess during each of these?
Just what I need during what is proving to be "the moody season"....

Hi Stephanie,
That's an amazing change. Is all the breast growth natural? Quite impressive.

How did you manage to do this? At the after picture you looks like a cis woman and a lot younger. Looks like two difference people. The cute red haired woman have no similarities with the picture from the past.

It's been about 17 months since I first went out in public as my true self. The photo on the left is from December of 2014. Three months later I was taking transition level HRT. The photo on the right is how I look now after 14 months on HRT. I am still amazed at how much better I feel now.

It's amazing to see how much the estrogen softened your jawline and features overall. You look great, honestly, and you can see the happiness radiating off of you. Your hair color and hairstyle suit you quite well.

I used to compliment photos occasionally, but it's irritating when people cannot respond with a simple thank you, and I get the vibe that they think they are all of that, and I was just being polite.

That's a truly impressive transformation. I noticed in a different thread earlier that someone said your brow ridges were a little pronounced; I just wanted to say that I've seen a lot of ciswomen with your exact features. Also, plenty of women would absolutely kill for your defined collarbones and cheekbones.

Hi everyone :)
It's been a while since I've been at Susan's, but I was feeling on the better side today, and thought I'd share a quick before and after. I'm 30, and have been on HRT for 6.5 months. Really excited to see where things go in the next 6 months :). I've had some really difficult experiences over the last little while, but transitioning is something I'll never regret having started.

You pass very well. Very amazing transistion. The old you looks very masculine and "he" looks like a whole different person. "He" could be your brother. Now you looks pretty and do pass very well. It's amazing how you manage to transistion from very masculine looking to a very cis-like woman.
Quote from: Jenny0713 on June 06, 2016, 12:23:43 PM
I don't have any after pictures yet since I have not started HRT yet but I wanted to hear from people to find out if I have a chance of looking good as female. Viewing my profile picture, do you think I will look ok? Do you think I have a chance assuming I do electrolysis and HRT? Thanks. Jenny.

Awesome job!! You look great, in a relatively short period as well.

What voice training did you do? Was it with a professional or "DIY"?

Thank you Amber!! That's very kind of you :)
My voice training was all DIY, but I did sing in my late teens/early twenties, so I just drew on my singing voice and played around with it until I found the right range. It took a lot of practice. You see in my timeline that I started from a deep baritone, and it took over 6-7 months of almost daily practice - and a willingness to sound silly/unnatural/cartoony in public - before it truly began to click.
Quote from: Amber42 on June 07, 2016, 05:41:46 AM
Well done. Your voice is remarkably good. I've seen a few YouTube tutorials and I try to practice in private (while commuting in the car) :-). Very hard to determine if it is helping. LOL
Do you have any recommendations of videos, techniques or tutorials that you used or you know are effective?
Many thanks.

Can anyone who has had FFS tell me if buccal fat pad removal is likely to enhance or be a bad move. I'm not having any jaw shaving or resetting because I don't need it - and I had a top surgeon at a top price tell me he wouldn't take my money for it, which is good enough for me.
But with the cheek pads removed, has anyone here had that done? My concern is that a narrower face might tip the jaw from being fine, to not being.
Quote from: mmmmm on June 10, 2016, 06:18:41 PM
Its often done along with underchin lipo and jawline lipo... its not really feminizing procedure, its cosmetic procedure for men and women. It can have benefitial effect (in terms of feminization) on width of your lower face, as it makes your lower cheek area narrower, and with that, whole lower facial third narrower in comparison with middle facial third. Its not really commonly used in FFS, except if there is excess tissue.
