Wow! I can't believe it's been a whole year since I swallowed that first little green pill. I could fill up a page with all the things that have changed and happened. The first thing that people tell me though, even the ones who are just meeting me, is how happy I look. I researched well and really thought I knew what I was getting myself into, but I have been amazed by the amount of unexpected changes. I knew I would become more emotional, but I've found it's been a lot more extensive than I thought. The way I think has changed too. I'm much more visual. Lists and numbers are confusing. My muscles have softened and rounded out. I've lost a lot of weight in muscle mass. My skin has softened and is injured much more easily. I'm a 42C. I fill in my jeans nicely now. My doctor has even said I've had an amazing response. Many of my friends are trans now and most of them are happy for me, but a few are jealous and a little catty. You know how us girls get! I've also been welcomed with open arms into a wonderful group of ladies where I am learning what it really means to be a woman. I have relationships today that are so much more intimate than I could have ever imagined. After over 40 years of misery drugging, drinking and closeting I just look on my new life as a blessing and can't imagine what it will be like in another year!

Congratulations on your anniversary, Wanda! I am a couple of weeks away from my first anniversary, and I am jealous of your response. Don't worry, I won't get catty though.
You look much happier in your after photo than in the before photo!
Wanda...Congratulations. I agree with you word for word. It is, far better then we imagined.
Hi Wanda,
Congrats on the one year and especially on the changes and acceptance you have found. It sounds wonderful.
Hugs,
Laurie
Hi Wanda
You look great, congratulations on your first year. With another year of experiences under your belt this last year will all seem like a walk in the park next year... ;) I hope things continue to go well. If you have had a great response to HRT, that is just great and I hope it keeps going in the same manner.

Big hug! Ditto on the friends, Someone said "I don't know anything about transgender, but I see you're happier, that's enough for me" :)
Looking forward to the two years update!
Hugs, Devlyn
Congratulations Wanda. Looking good!
