Just curious. I feel like I know what I'm going to look like when I'm on T, but I wont know for sure until I'm on it.
So my question is, anyone who has had hormones and/or surgery, did you turn out how you thought you would look?

No surgery yet, but mein gott.... I never never imagined I'd pass, or how I'd look now... It's a world apart frankly. I'm so much happier for it. Life finally works, and It's hard to really relate to that guy anymore.

Oddly, yes. This is going to sound bizarre, but I turned out too close to what I imagined. Aim higher! If you really envision and feel it on your skin, you might just turn into it once on HRt. so aim high!

Had no idea really. Was very afraid to start HRT. But now I'm rather pleased with the girl smiling at me in the mirror.
Can hardly wait for surgery

Supermodel it is. ^_^
I actually have a hard time envisioning it. I imagine I'd look like I do now, but a girl, somehow.
I really should aim higher. I'm not unattractive or anything, but still...
Back to the sketchbook for me, then.

Will do. I guess I should believe people when they say I'm going to turn out 'sexy', might as well think positive about it!
Quote from: Luna! on December 13, 2009, 07:57:07 PMThat's kind of the same way I look at it. Me but just more masculine.

Yes, but it's not exactly beautiful enough.

I had no freaking idea how much I would change. No I couldn't envision it at all, and I'm still suprised by my reflection sometimes. I'm still ugly as sin but I don't break mirrors anymore and that's huge.
Before hrt I assumed I would turn out like my mother, but face wise i'm actually trending closer to my cousins and I couldn't be happier about that because they are cute and my mom...isn't.

I spent a lot of time actually thinking of that...I looked at various patterns and anatomy and even some drawing and photoshop tutorials on changing female subjects to male. And yes, I photoshopped a pic of me to look male using those rules, also going off what people said T did for them. In the end, it all depends on if my jawline drops, my cheeks stop being so puffy and round, and dropping 10 pounds wouldn't hurt either.
It's bittersweet, as I look like a short, stocky 14-year-old right now. Boob amputation will alleviate some of the stockiness at least...but time will only tell for the rest.

Interesting older post found in the TS db today, and my answer....
Yes, I think I exceeded my own expectations of 10 years ago, and I think I am still on the path of improving. HRT has been good to me. Exercise and diet helped a lot....
Having GCS, really made a difference for me at a personal level (mostly mental).

I always had difficulty looking at myself in the mirror and seeing myself in any objective way. I think I still look exactly the same although others disagree. I couldn't really imagine what I would look like post transition.

I try but pretty much all I get is my current face, just hairier lol.
I joke i'm gonna become a teeny tiny yeti.
but genuinely i'm not sure what changes might be and i'm kinda super curious.

No, I couldn't.
I truly never expected the facial changes. Early in my HRT journey, I was putting on lipstick one day and realized that they were someone else's lips. Kathy's. And then my eyes. When I look in the mirror and can't see my receded hairline (because I'm wearing a wig or a hat), I see a female face. That is way better than my most optimistic hopes before I started.
