Come on smiley, you haven't given everyone a chance to see you yet. :) I'm posting instead of working, others may not have the option of that. Give this some time before you bail out, OK? I think you look good. I guess the real question is how do you feel? Are you happy with where you're at and the progress?
Hugs, Devlyn

Most definitely. Hormones can and do amazing things. To help give you an idea. Here is a picture of me pre hormones and one of me very recently.

Wow that's a change You look awesome
Yes it is and thank you. The second picture is over 8 and half months in on hormones and the first is about 10 and half months ago. I share those with you because you need to see home much they can and will do for you. I wish it could happen over night for all of us, but it doesn't work that way. So please do give it some time. I hope the pictures helped cheer you up and give you something to look forward to hugs.

Hugs to you too. :)
A headshot is not possible to score.. Besides, pictures don't tell the whole story.
I'll use myself as an example.. Physically, I don't look particularly feminine, as I've been told here in the past. However, my body language is clearly feminine.. As is the way I speak - and no, it's not pitch, it's the way I construct sentences and the things I actually say.. Do I pass? Not 100%, but well enough that sometimes outing myself causes strenuous denials and disbelief from others.

you look great
Thank you.
Every mirror in my home was covered, I never wanted to see him. I wasn't him. I'm a lovely woman.
Guess what Hon,so are you.
Never, ever give in. If you think you look bad look at me.
I'm now a lovely gorgeous woman. Even if I'm the only person who says so!

Yenneffer,
It took three years. OK a year of face blasting agony as I cried my eyes out on the laser chair. Sucking up what little courage I had to walk into a hairdresser and say 'I'm a transgender woman and I need help' they helped after rejecting me. I went back and begged. I see them every six weeks now, they love me and I them.
Painting my face and looking like a man in a dress. The s->-bleeped-<-s and unheard jokes.
I walked my path.
One step at a time. Fear.
Tell me.
I walked my path, holding on to the hands of my sisters here. Screaming I could never do it.
Then, finally waiting at the pedestrian crossing. Wearing my loved denim skirt. Feeling the breeze on my naked legs. Walking into work. Sitting, smiling. Fear gone.
Greeting my fellow workers who had shock in their eyes
Meet Cindy!
I am me and I am proud!
One day that will be you Honey. One day!
One step at a time.

And a smile. Don't forget the smile. It's amazing how often it's one of the first things I notice in the "before" and "after" pictures.

The path sucks at first, but it's the only way to get where we need to be. And when we reach our destination, we are stronger, wiser, and prettier than we ever thought possible. :)

Sorry if I caused any confusion. I was talking about the difference between Cindy's (and others') before and after photos. I had the impression you don't have as stark a contrast in before/after as she does. Yet, at least.
Honestly, given the two of yours and with the caveat that they're not full-body, I'm not going to tell you I believe you're at the end of a road you know you've just begun--and I'm not that far on myself, if we're going with the honesty angle. What I will tell you is that I think I really like your odds of ending up with you liking the finished product. I have lurked here long enough to have seen some far less promising people turn into quite attractive women.
I stand by the idea that smiles help, though.
Thanks for the honest reply and i agree
I have a date when going out in public
i think you look stunning, I think people no matter who you are will always find something they don't like about them self, i do all the time... but i think it is just in our chemistry to do so... But with that being said it really don't matter what i say or anyone else.. it souly depends on you, How do you feel ? What do you see ? does it bring you happiness ?
Thanks hugs.I want to feel happy but my momm is evil puts me down when shes drinking
Im so sorry to hear that, no one should ever be put down... I suppose that is where strength comes into play... My dad is doing the same thing, just in a different way. but he does it to me when he drinks so i can understand what you are saying regarding that... But beauty comes in all forms and shapes and i think that your facial features are good which shows your beauty... Just stay strong
Hugs thanks ;)
Oh, wow, your cute. Don't let anyone tell you different. 7/10 and getting better! :D

I have never been on HRT, but I learned long hair, some makeup and decent clothes can dramatically enhance my femininity. Yes. It is better that your look is more tasteful to people's eyes. I also learned that people prefer my wearing rather conservative fashion items. But, still most of my skirts are too short...

thanks.no hrt wow do you have natural high estrogen levels
Yeah you're passable! You look feminine without the makeup, if you don't already have your makeup game down, you will be hella passable when you do. You don't have any features that are masculine, you don't have a troll chin like me.

I'd agree. That is definitely a cute girl on the right.
