Beatrice, what a beautiful face! Eventually you'll have to submit a photo sans makeup so we can really give a really honest critique, but it looks like you're on the road to stardom so far!

Thank you! And as Shantel said, eventually you'll have to post pics sans makeup
But the fact that you're already projecting so far is that changes probably will happen faster than for me. I just stayed afloat for months, perhaps more than a year, just almost waiting for changes to happen (did change many things such as taking care of myself and imagining how'd be the different life, but didn't act by trying a further projection wearing aggressive makeup to imagine different cheek lines, a smooth skin, a greater contrast between lip & skin, etc).
Dears
First of all I would like to thanks all the comments you are doing here. I realize it's hard to evaluate my real appearance with make-up and I will send some photos in "sans" as soon I return form my travel. However I have reasons to post photos with make. One is that it's not so easy to know who I am in the WEB (I'm deeply sorry but, as always, I'm in a hurricane of indecisions: take a step forward or try to straighten me like a man?).
But, I can say it is not so different as with make... Your words confirms that I can succeed in my transition.
In truth I need to do something. Since I was a shield I have a strong, strong! problem of gender identity. Even though I have strongly tried to adopt a "normal life", has been very difficult to maintain relationships with girls. My "natural hormonal balance" and their expressions in my body never allowed me to have all the functions of a man if you can understad me (as well it is not normal, I think, to have breasts without ever gotten a HRT). All this confuses me and my family always suppressed me a lot, what makes me a deeply, deeply unhappy person. I just can not more live this big lie.
So, now I'm in my own life and I'm starting the process. You do not know how your feedback has helped me.
Cheers. Bea.
