Title: A new chapter, a new me
Post by: alexia elliot on October 31, 2010, 03:57:12 PM
Hey girls, I thought I will post my "Organic" pic with no wig nor any additional resources to help. Just me, I am starting to feel the woman within starting to glow onto the outside. I have increased my hormones to appropriate strength since 2 months ago and I do feel the results. I have been self medicating til now, I know, I know, please don't beat me with the stick! I have conducted 2 years of intensive research previous to a start, year and half ago, and started with absolute minimums for safety gradually increasing strength. Hence at times my depressive moods about things not happening as they should, hormones were just not strong then.
I also taken the second most important step after the decision to transition and that is to see a shrink this coming Friday. Our initial phone conversation concluded that I have taken the most safe and appropriate direction with hormones and validated all the learned knowledge to be true.
I am terrified as well as relieved that this step is going to take place. Well here is the pick, you be the judge weather she is there or still yet to come:

I'm sure meeting a psychologist will help you much !

And for the picture : nothing appears male to me. It's not a close-up, but I don't think one would make me clock you.

To be honest, to me that looks 110% lady.

Oh no !

Nothing appears male to me.* I often do such things. You know, I think "appears totally black to me" and "doesn't look blue at all blue to me" and it comes out as "appears totally blue to me".

Really sorry, and it was definitely NOT a revealing lapsus !

There isn't a hint of male there.

If you tried to pass yourself off as male, looking like that, I think you would get thrown out of the gents!


edit.

I didn't mean that the way it sounds. But all the images and video I've seen of you have been of a very feminie lady. To be honest, the first time I saw one of yours, I thought you were the wife of someone here. A Significant other.

You look good

Hi Alexia

to me you look as a  attractive woman.
But take care with the self medication.
i don't want to make you affraid of anything but it can cause trombosis and lungembolism.
so if you think you have some kind of muscle pain in your lower leg(s) go and see a doctor and tell him that you are using hormones.

take care of yourself and again...you look great

with love
annette

You look great...naturally!  I think you look pretty natural and I think that your hair also is very cute. Sometimes less, is a wonderful thing.
I agree with the rest that you should go to see a Doctor.  It's the best thing I did.
Hugs to you and congrats on your continued journey!

Yes you look wonderful girl, pretty. But the only way to take hormones is under the care of a doctor. Blood tests are a must without them you have no idea if something is going wrong. Good luck pretty girl and take care.
