Title: Hrt at 24
Post by: Fate998 on July 13, 2015, 03:16:31 AM
So I've been freaking out, and I just recently came out fully, I start hormones in sept and hair removal next week! But I'm scared I won't be passable, because of my age being 25 in jan and my bone structure Idc about looking good just passable! But I have bad bone structure, I know everyone has this worry but still, nothing's going to stop me from going on hormonesive posted here once but just kindof read around I post from a phone so it just makes it hard, idk I'm paranoid and just scared of always sticking out, I'm always going to stick out cause I'm 6 ft idk here's a pic of me now obviously no hormones and before with all of your endless wisdom what do you guys HONESTLY think, I know hormones have more effects than appearance which I can't wait for ALL of it but I'm excited to fit in too :/

I fixed your links - the problem was you were linking to the page URL not the image URL.

You have some features which are a bit masculine, most notably your chin, and HRT won't change that anyway - but you could have some good results on hormones. Unfortunately you usually don't know until you know. The last couple of pictures could be passable from what I can see, they're pretty good if you're pre-HRT in them.

Thank you! That was the only link it gave me, I haven't been big on computers Latley, and I'm just paranoid as I'm sure most people are before, as with everyone this has been a long time coming, and because the Drs are so backed up I've been waiting months for this apt and I'm just so excited and anxious for it and it's getting worse the closer it gets

You look cute!

Plenty to do before the appointment, keep going with laser, feel comfortable in your skin, try different clothing styles, practice the voice.


I love your dog!! What's his/her name?

I like being middle aged, it means the next 60 years are going to be a gas!! ::)

Unfortunately I can't see the pictures due to the computer i'm on, but I started hormones at just over 26 and my avatar photo was taken at about 9 months hrt or so. So at 25 I'm sure hormones will do wonders for you, I'm also just shy of 5'11 and height is generally not an issue, It just sucks when you want to wear heals  :laugh:

I'm just posting in support. I'm also 24, and I feel i'm right on the brink of coming out to my parents and beginning transition. I'm having the same fears you're having. reading what you wrote, feels like an out of body expierence, because it's pretty much how i feel verbatim.

I started at 27 and had great results. A lot of changes because of the hormones. Only things that seem like they might be issues in passing would be your brow and chin, but HRT might soften those a bit due to fat redistribution and plus there's always FFS! You definitely have potential to pass, so I wouldn't worry about it so much. :)
