Wow what an amazing change it is really noticable! Passing completely! :)
Yep I agree w/Jay. congrats bro. :icon_woowoo: :eusa_dance:
*epic grin*
lol, I didn't start passing most of the time till about a month ago. My voice dropping alot more has made a big impact I think. I find it sooo weird to look at older pics of myself, I literally feel like a separate person to them.
(the before pic is from about two years ago however, before I came out as trans)
Look Good Hun
Very tasty.
What is it about the balck earings, see them on all sorts, significance?
Sell you my razor!
LoL

They're my 18mm stretched tunnels :3 started stretching around 18 months ago. I've had my ears pierced since the age of five and when I wanted to start transitioning ect. I wanted to do something more masculine with them.

*blushes* I still find it hard to believe people when they say stuff like that ^^ certainly a confidence booster tho XD
I didn't realise how much of a different perception I have of myself compared to others before transitioning... looking back on photos of me when I was younger, I remember how I felt about my appearance and I always felt blank, not un-attractive... but just not fully formed I guess. Like I wasn't enough 'visually' for people to form opinions of/have any attraction to. I suppose, I always felt like I hadn't gone through puberty yet.
Now I feel like people actually see me when they're interacting with me, cause it feels like 'I'm there'. I feel more confident in my self-possession and being on a physical level with people... and it doesn't freak me out anymore! lol. Do I make sense?

you look great :D
i definitely get the not-feeling-there/not-feeling-seen thing, and jeez, i dream of not feeling that way myself :laugh: maybe one day
Wow amazing your face looks thinner and more masculine already.
You give me hope cause I have such a soft feminine face myself :D
Can't wait for T!!

Absolutely. It's weird to actually think of myself as decent looking. Maybe I'm not, but I have enough self-confidence now that I feel like I am, and that's what counts :)
And your avatar picture is awesome. No question that you're a guy. What a difference from how you looked before. Nice to get the voice thing going too, isn't it?
Dennis
I'm going to post pics later in the just for us section so check over there. I've had huge changes as well!
Jay
Wow, amazing...your face looks totally different. Did you lose weight?
I'm not sure, my weight hasn't really fluctuated at all over the last five years. I've put on muscle due to the testosterone and my face has definitely become less round... I think the fat that I have on my body is just slowly being put to use for purposes other than storage.
Though, I think in that picture I was clenching my jaw or something lol being manly.
Congrats man! You look just like this dude I went to school with, it's kind of crazy. Good luck with your transition and keep us posted!
