Susan's Place Transgender Resources

So I finally shaved and took a picture of me dressed in my first clothes.  This is Pre HRT, and I had just shaved for the picture, took it with a Tripod.  I was so happy with the results, I was giddy all night long, well....giddy right now because night hasnt ended yet.  It feels so wonderful to feel girly, I feel so right right now, nothing could possibly feel better (short of finishing the transition) I am so happy, and these clothes are wonderful.

-sighs happily-

I'll show you, but don't be too mean to me please, I am very excited right now, it feels so wonderful.

You're very pretty, Rachel. And your eyes have that wonderful happy, sparkly look in them.

That's a really lovely top you're wearing. :)

I second that!!!

I'm glad you're pleased with the picture, it's a really nice picture and you are very pretty :)

Wow! You look great! And pre-HRT! That is absolutely wonderful!!!! I could only wish for that look right now!

: D


I need to do a full full body shot eventually.. =_-

So you did get that picture taken. You look really great, very pretty :) Nice choice of clothes, too.

I don't think I'd be brave enough to post a photo, myself...

Hi Rachel, Well you look quite fine to me you certainly have some of the right features.

Cindy 

Thank you so much everyone, I wish I didn't have this adams apple, but still, thank you for the comments.  I feel pretty for the first time in my whole life, and I dont wanna take these clothes off.  This was a big milestone for me, and I wanna thank Darthkitty from encouraging and pushing me to do this.

I love you all.

Wow, so pretty - and I can see the happiness in your eyes.

Heh... you've got me crying, just a bit more than a bit... it's so very inspirational.

Rachel, you look terrific...you are CUTE!

Wow! How on earth could anyone be mean to you about a photo like that?! Everything is just so lovely - your smile, your eyes, your hair, your clothes, just...everything! You really are very pretty. :icon_bunch:

well i would disagree about the hair, i think its thin and gross, but im trying to make it better, heard honey and hair equals pretty shine.

Thanks everyone though, you are all making me very happy.  I love how this turned out, and the smile and happy was because I have never felt this right in my life ever, so I was ecstatic.

I love you all and thanks for the compliments.

Hi Rachel , and all, well after some time one gets to know another's characteristics, moods and personality to a degree but a picture adds so much to seeing that person in the mind's eye. Like about the next best to knowing that particular person in the physical. Even those who have avatars and continue to use the same avatar for a time, that avatar becomes to be recognised as part of that person's personality. It is as though the avatar was purposely picked to represent who they believe themselves to be, in the sense of some of the characteristics.

Looking good, girl.  You are very pretty.  I love the top.  :D

Janet

Awwww lovely, you look so happy! :) Your pic made my day :) *hugs*

You play fiddle? ;)

Actually yes, I play fiddle/violin, been playing for roughly a year now, love the instrument to death.  I more prefer violin tunes though when playing, but the occasional fiddle tune rocks.

And thanks Janet, I love this top too, its just lovely, and so comfy.

I envy you, you are very beautiful.

 :icon_hug: I think you look very pretty :D

Lots of hugs,

WR

-blushes-

Thanks you guys, but please, your too kind.  I'm happy with how they came out but your all acting like I'm sort of beauty.  I mean I look ok, but I still have a lot to work on.  Thank you all though, you just are helping my confidence so much.

And Carolyn, thank you, but please don't envy me, I'm sure your very pretty too.

You're really cute, your eyes are beautiful. :)

Is your hair naturally auburn? I could never pull off that shade, I envy people who can.

thats my natural shade, ive never dyed a day in my life, for fear of making my hair fall out.

Thank you though, I like my eyes a lot, always have, got em from my mum.

Yeah good advice, I dyed my hair purple last year and it was dry and frizzy for a month after the dye wore out  ??? But that's a gorgeous color you've got, I love it. And no problem!

you are passable already
and pretty
however one piece of advise
have fringes(bangs). i mean your hair style.it will cover your forehead and you will look even sweeter and more girlish
also bu starting hrt muscles will go away and your arms will look wonderful.

thankies deniz, but right now I'm not out, so bangs are out of the question.  Although that might look good on me, thank you for the suggestion.

you might not be out but you are extremely girlish;)
fringes will only make you look like a young boy if you dress like a man;)
when i had mine my life changed.No worries about my forehead at all and smiling everytime when i look a miror;)
your call but think about it.you would look great.

ill think about it, anything to help right?  Ill look in the mirror and think about it, might work, might not, not sure though.  Anything is worth trying once I guess.

I dont think I'm fully passable yet, I would need at least a little HRT to pass fully, but I'm ok with that.  I need to see a voice therapist though, because I'm not going to go out into the world without a proper voice.
