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

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

Congratulations - Very proud of you!  Work can be daunting - be sure to have some candid conversations with your management - bring an ally with you if it helps both of you out.

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?
