I'm happy for you and the look suits you. I think that step is scarier than originally coming out.

Thank you all :0)
The conditions were as follows;
1: at least 75% people knew before presenting
2: I can keep my voice conversational in the 180-220hz range
3: enough laser/electro where you see minimal facial hair
4: quality hair piece
5: I think hrt is doing it's job with my face, (I'll let you all judge) I know my body is changing a lot

Congratulations Jamie 😃
I have been scared witless each time I've been out but a little less scared each time.
I'm so excited for you.
Hugs,
Sarah
Remember one foot in front of the other... and swivel those hips!

Hips and boobs are the only thing I'm getting so far, my buttox has yet to grow and I sit on it 8 hrs a day. I am getting jaw surgery to correct my underbite

I hope I look like that at 5 months, absolutely stunning.
I'm starting the shot in December. Only took 31 years to get here, but here at last.

I think the word that first came to mind was "WOW" then followed by "you look great!"
I'd be interested in knowing how you let people know at work - you say "75% knew already" did you tell them or did they notice and make a comment?
