I'm happy that I tried, even though I waited too long. Estrogen just didn't change me enough to make me need to come out. I've told my therapist many times that if I was in my 20's now, it would be totally different. It just wasn't an option when I grew up.

I don't really think I'll ever live my life as my true self. Even if I get bottom surgery, I'll probably still hide myself to the world. I'm just too much of a chicken and I worry too much about what others think. Which probably means I'll never feel complete. Sad!

I am a daily skin care person. What works for me is a combination of advice from 3 or 4 friends... ymmv.

Practice daily skin care. A good routine takes under 15 minutes.

Get a gentle face scrub and make time for yourself at night. Cetaphil and CeraVe both make good products. you need to find what works for you by trial and error. Keeping your skin clean is huge.

I exfoliate twice a week. I use a chemical exfoliator. Do not use the cheap gritty stuff on your face. I am still looking for a brand I love.

In the morning, I still need to shave. sadly. I use Origins brand mushroom resiliency lotion after. Yep. pricey. One bottle will last over a year because a few drops go a long way. I also use after electrolysis.

Morning and evening I use a serum then a hydrating moisturizer. I use a vitamin c serum in the morning, a hyloronic acid one at night. The Ordinary is a good, inexpensive serum I like. I rotate between a few moisturizers, CeraVe and Cetaphil make good moisturizers that work for me.

Good routine and finding what works on your skin are my take aways. Remember this is my routine, everyone needs to find what works for themselves.
