I went back to my home country Switzerland for the very first time since I started transitioning and it went so well so far that it blew my little mind.
Af of now, I'm out to all important friends and family and the crazy thing is that 100% of the people I told about me, are supportive. I have met most of them already, some knew based on pictures I sent them what to expect and some had no idea, they only knew I'm trans and I'm living fulltime since the beginning of the year. I have to admit that meeting those who had no idea was much more exciting and I should have made a youtube video of their reactions. It was quite hilarious.
Most of them have seen me the last time when I looked like on the picture on the very left. The second from the left is right before I started HRT in March last year and the 3rd is from October 2016. That bitch on the right is me, 2 days ago ;-)

I never thought I would be where I am today when I wrote my very post here on Susan's 1 1/2 years ago. I was a very confused and anxious person and turned into that happy and joyful woman I am today. You, the community here on Susan's, have been a big part of what got me there. You gave me hope, strength and the passion to go for it. I don't know if I had been able to make it that far without you. Thank you so much to all of you!!!!

I will shut up because you're probably bored by now ;-)
Love you all.
Jessica (not scared and confused anymore)
You have taken an incredible journey. Many of your posts have inspired me, and your before and after photos have given me hope that one day I too may become a beautiful, happy woman. You are one of my Susan's Heroes. I sincerely wish you the best of luck as your journey continues, and please don't ever shut up!

Edit: Beyond the usual platitudes, I want you to know I have followed your posts for some time and admire your spirt and want to thank you for sharing your thoughts here.
My transition has been hard, and the final cost has yet to be tallied. However, like you, I have found many kindred spirits here on this site, and it has certainly helped me, if for no other reason than I know I am not alone in this. Thank you again, and congratulations on having achieved so much.

I like the happy, smiling, beauty on the right.
If I look half as nice at 14 months HRT as you do, my smile will be just as big.
Amazing and inspiring!

I was feeling a bit down this morning after having been discussing with my aunt a Facebook post she made about the "bathroom issue" include ominous music here. After very lengthy discussion through messenger, I sent her a long coming out message. She is now at work so I can guess she will read it later. Left me feeling low.
Your post brought me a big smile this morning! ;) Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful and happy transformation!
Late to comment to this post...
Jessica, you have blossomed to the beautiful woman that's been hiding inside of you!
You deserve to have that smile! You are a wonderful person and I am so very happy for you J!
XOXO

WOW Jessica 😊
Wow girl, I don't know how I missed this post originally, but as I've told you many times before you are truly an inspiration for many (myself included). To see where you were and how happy you are today gives me so much hope for my own future. You've worked hard to get where you are today and you deserve every bit of happiness and joy that you feel today. I only regret that I wasn't here to watch your whole journey.
