Title: Took these pictures
Post by: Larisa on April 30, 2018, 12:15:11 PM
of myself and they make me look really feminine looking. It wasn't on purpose either. It just happened because of my face and my really long hair together naturally bring out a more girl face. I thought of putting one of them up on facebook but am afraid to. Like I dont want people asking whats up with it but at the same time, I want to see me. Im not sure what to do. It's not like I used any makeup or anything, it just happens naturally. Im just nervous what some might say.

If you use A site like Imgur.  You can download your pictures to it, copy them and paste them in your post here, if you would like.  Then we can see them!

Hugs and smiles, Jessica

You could keep it on this thread.  Then as you progress, you can have a photo journal of it, by adding in monthly or so updates.

Larisa,

From your picture, I think you have potential to become whatever you want. Many of us had to start with a much more masculine "before" and ended up quite passable. Have you seen my B&A pictures? There are many others as well.

Are you firmly interested in transition or are you just questioning for now?  It seems to me from your first post that coming out is your main fear. There are concerns with anyone coming out. Do you have your finances secured? Some of us lost employment after coming out. Have you considered HRT? You will definitely look different in about a year or two.

People will know soon enough, so if you need to transition, like so many of us do, we just accept the consequences and on occasion, some of our real friends will come to our support.

Im still talking to my therapist about things and we have talked a bit about transition. I kind of go back and forth on it. and ya telling others is not really a fear but just makes me nervous which I guess you could call fear but it's not for me.
