Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi ladies! 

I wake up every morning after 5 months on HRT and I automatically find myself checking to be sure my breasts are really there!  I just cannot believe it is true!  It has been so many years waiting to be me! 

I know I cannot be the only one who is in denial, what do you do to remind yourself of your good fortune?  What change has been the most dramatic and most anticipated for you?

I hope everyone is doing well!  Love and Hugs, Marcie

Not my chest that's for sure.. Maybe that I'm finally growing out my hair and can work on the shame around femininity that I have around that for some reason..  [emoji4]

Lol. I roll over in bed and the girls are sore and wake me up. I love the feeling and the fact that the little guy is so tiny and staying that way

When I walk around bumping into funiture I realized I am having new breast

Uh.. that feeling amplified now that I just got a BA after insufficient growth from HRT. Takes a while to get used to, but loving the feminine shape it gives me.

Most dramatic already - testicular reduction

Most anticipated - undoubtedly my boobs!

I've been on HRT for 3 years now and transitioned about 1 1/2 years ago. I still can't believe it sometimes.

I started at 47. I've got too many decades of dysphoria to get over. Sometimes I see a beautiful woman and still think "I wish I looked like that", then I look down and go, "oh yeah. I already do."

Just wait, Marcie, until you have at least 3 years of HRT and GCS on top of that.

The whole package of gender confirming changes make me feel so much better about myself. Transition is not just a desire, but rather a necessity for improved quality of my life.

That goes away in time. Pretty soon they'll just be that thing that means you have to wear a tight torture device (bra) that you can't wait to take off through your sleeve while you crack open a bottle of wine in the evening.

Been on hormones for almost 6 years, and it's kinda hard to remember NOT having boobs.

I check my breasts several times a day.  Not so much to make sure they are really there - I know they are not going anywhere - but because they feel so-o-o good!   ;D  I've wanted them so long (I'm 63), and now that I have them, I'm going to enjoy them every chance I get.  I love the little ouch that tells me that they are still growing.  Go, girls, go!

I check every morning and more to see if the look any bigger.  I've got an A cup after 14 months but still have my D cup gut which makes them harder to notice.

Hair is an issue for me.  It is thin and well I am trying to recover form being a balding guy...definitely something for me to work on

Kathy - you and me both.  I waited 57 years so yes - they are a comfort.

I bet that is so true...wait is a bad word for me, as is weight! Ha...

Thanks for the reply Dani!

That must feel so amazing Karyn - I cannot wait!

I'm in the same boat, Tonya. Well, maybe only a C cup gut. Ironically, I'm just shy of 14 months (March 1st is my rebirthday).

I am still in the super excited stage of putting my bra on daily! So many friends I have spoken with hate their bras, not me. Maybe I consider it a badge of honour. I do like your descriptive style of opening your bottle of wine though  ;D

I am pre-hrt, but a longing for these feelings are how I came to understand my gender. I feel a mixture of hope and jealousy seeing people post these things... I am very happy it is going so well for you :)

Hey Marcie, oh no don't worry about it. I'm not worried too much about it. Small boobs doesn't make me any less a girl :')
What keeps me on track?. Hmmm it's a good question? But one I rarely think of now. It's just totally normal for me to be a girl now, I don't even question it anymore. When I was a guy that plagued my mind all the time, but as a girl, well I don't even think about gender anymore.
Its just so right living this life.

The way you worded this is amazing, this is exactly how I feel finally! I wasn't sure exactly how to describe it, but this nails it.

I live my life every single day now as me, and its just normal, no more questioning or fear.

Thank you Marcie for initiating this thread. Not only for the sake of interest/knowledge but also for producing so many uplifting replies. This really is a motivating discussion.

Those of us early on really have so much to look forward to and as you say so much repeated checking to do!

Truly thank you to all.

Hugs to Marcie and all you wonderful ladies.
