Have been on HRT since 2004, never gonna look like my desired gender regardless what I do so I have accepted that and moved on to just being me...ish.
6'8" 250lbs, size 16 feet, likely as not klinenfelter.
Estrogen, for me, just made things feel more normal, nothing else has changed, no epiphanies, no blissful feelings, just a confirmation of many aspects of me that seemed strange before (uncanny sense of smell for 1).
Though I appreciate well meaning "you can do it" comments there is absolutely nothing on this earth, yet invented, that will make me look like anything but a giant dude...I'm past it, please be too.
Hope your 2018 is freaking awesome.
Andrea

Hello Andrea, it is a pleasure for me to also say Welcome to Susan's Place.... this is a great site for you to share your successes, failures and concerns on your transition journey. There are lots of members here that will have similar questions and concerns as you that you can communicate with on the Forums.
Many on here develop friends on this site as they share information... feel free to get involved as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing.
Be certain to look over and go to the helpful and informative LINKS that Jessica had included at the bottom of her Welcome Message to you. The information there will help you navigate around the site and also give you important site rules.
Again, WELCOME,
Danielle
Well Andrea, it appears I read your newly new member status incorrectly, but just think you have another brand new set of links all for yourself.........what fun!
Hugs, Jessica
I wish I started in 2004. I actually knew someone who started transitioning around then but we've lost contact then too. Things would be very different
