ps. I'm not trans, I'm a significant other. My boyfriend is FtM, and he's only around 5"4, he tells me every day he wishes he was taller lol. I think it's pretty cute, I don't need to break my back just for some kisses!

I need to end up dating someone who thinks like you do.

Aha! No reason to break a back over kisses ever anyway:p
Finding out I'm not as short as I thought I was? Or to know that my height is average is quite comforting.

lol, well being 4"11, I break my back for pretty much everything!

And yes! Trust me you're height is definitely avg, and you shouldn't put to much stress on it. I guess it's ideal for a guy to want to be taller right? Either way, height won't mess up the cuteness factor!
I'm glad you feel more comforted though. If you ever need to reassure yourself, just remember people like me are nearly technically considered little people. (no offense to little people I hope, I LOVE my height!)

Fun size!
Thanks, don't think it'll be an issue once things are more set in stone and I get out of the service.

You got that right haha!

yea, you shouldn't worry too much! Btw, how is the service working out for you? My boyfriend considered joining, not sure what happened to that notion though . Facing any challenges?

Ok, time for me to dog myself for a minute. Got my hair cut yesterday so decided to shave most of my face. I think it makes me pass FAR less than when I'm a fuzzy mongoose. I officially start T in 8 days though..sooo I can deal with it. The light is above my head in both pics making my hair look thin but it's not that bad...the hairline has moved back quite a bit though.

I haven't left for boot camp yet, but I have signed most of my papers. Waiting on a waiver for a medic disqual. The biggest challenge I've faced so far is the thing about transsexuals not allowed in the military. Taking T is strictly forbidden by women who are active duty, and the fact that some of the jobs require security clearances poses a problem(psych reports are shown in records.)

I promise you pass dear. There's no doubt about that, and the haircut looks great!

Damn..
My boyfriend hasn't started T yet so he was considering just starting after he served. It's a shame the military can't accept transsexuals..a true shame.
I hope everything works out for you though! It's an honor to know great people like you are serving!

It's complete Bolshevik if you ask me. I'm perfectly capable of doing my job whether I'm male or female, so why should it matter is what I can't grasp. We are held to the same physical standards as me (as of 2014) so who cares if I transition. And thank you! Tell him if he wants to serve, he better do it soon as they're super downsizing!

Agreed. Couldn't have said it better myself dude.
The standards are just all f*%kd up, and it's like c'mon, what century are we living in?!
I guess some things just take longer than others, wish it wasn't that way.

Thanks! I'll definitely let him know!

It's sad how there are very few LGBT activists that speak to youth (Ryan sallans is the only one I can think of) when WE/our generation sets the standard.

Sorry about that :/
BUT don't let it get you too down, you look wonderful!
The mind is a powerful thing my friend! And all I see here is a handsome man!

Not enough activists indeed. People just generally don't like to take initiative I suppose. I hope that all changes soon. The world needs to be more educated, especially on the fact that trans people can do the same jobs anyone else can.
I believe the only thing that sets people apart is attitude.

I'm almost tempted to post a picture of my leg here, but that would also be totally unneccessary.

lol go for it buddy!

I'll probably just post it in "You Look Badass" because I know they pass.
There's honestly no way they couldn't, because they're ridiculous.

Sounds like you have some smoking hot legs ! lol

That's a matter of a opinion, since I'm really just hairy like a beast.

WELL take it from me, a lot more people are into the hairy beast look than you'd think
