Title: Allow me to introduce myself.
Post by: spenceroar on March 19, 2011, 11:30:28 PM
Hello,
I'm Spencer, a 24 year old guy from New South Wales, Australia.
I've been on hormones for coming up to 6 years, am three years post chest op and approximately three months post hysto.
I enjoy skateboarding, working out, going to University and looking after my 6 year old Son.
This is what I look like:

Nice to meet you all!

Thanks for the warm welcome, JohnAlex!
Do you by any chance know how to upload avatars? I've tried to modify my profile to no avail. Perhaps there is a post count limit that "unlocks" this particular feature?

welcome :) sick picture. I am jealous of your facial hair hahah :D

No need to be jealous, time is all it took!
I wish my cheeks would fill in properly though, when I grow it all out my cheeks look a little patchy.

Hahah, yeah one of my sides grows in fine but the other side is patchy and still has peach fuzz.
How long did it take to grow most of it?

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another brother. :icon_hug:

@ Jay; things have been moving alot faster since my hysto.
Generally speaking I think I took a while - maybe 3 years on T before I had "decent" enough facial hair to grow out.
Edit: I forgot to mention I still have issues with one side growing in faster than the other. Not too sure if this will ever resolve, however I generally just use a beard trimmer to even it all out.

Janet, thanks so much for all those links; I'd been perusing about and had read a lot of them, they are exceptionally useful.

Sweet, good to know since I am only 16 months on T with a crappy chin strap hahah. I recently got a trimmer and it is a lot easier.

Hi Spencer

Welcome to the  forum dude.
It's good to have australians here, they are such relaxed people.
And I do love the sense of humor from down under.
btw, you look amazing.

hugs from the other end of the world

Aussie are surely a relaxed bunch of people! I love living in Australia. I agree wholeheartedly about aussie sense of humour, also.
Thanks so much for the compliment. :D

Hey Spencer :) I recognise you from Livejournal and way back years ago I talked to you online (might've been through a yahoo group, not sure) briefly about transition processes in NSW and about Hassall. Hope that doesn't sound too creepy haha, I just have a good memory. Anyway, welcome to Susan's. I haven't been here long myself.

Hey Redshirt,
That's not creepy at all, glad to be memorable, lol.
I'm not entirely sure who you are, but I bet I'd be able to remeber you if we were to chat privately or something similar.
Hope life is treating you well.
