This exactly. This is something we all deal with, but you look nothing like the before pic, and gorgeous to boot.
Thank you so much!!! This is probably a better comparison (though it makes my super-cute dress look like a collared shirt! grrr!):





Yes, you look just gorgeous and really more CIS female than anyone so far! So how'd you get rid of that tough guy, bad-ass scowl creased forehead? My but the bottom photo is great though!

OH MY GOD, I was so depressed about my perma-scowl when I first started transition, and had to seriously WORK for a month to stop tensing my brow. Now, no problems at all!

Edited to add: Thank you, that seriously almost made me tear up.  :)  :)  :)

Well yeah, the tensing of the brow is kind of a learned guy thing, I would bet that the calming effect of HRT laid you back enough to be able to stop it.

I seriously hope it does :P - because I have the same thing and I am now doing some facial yoga trying to reduce it...

You'll be fine! Once I finally managed to stop squeezing my brows, there were fairly noticeable lines leftover for a few months, but now even they are gone. A surprising amount of muscle dissipates from the forehead as well.

Way too young!!! I don't want to be a cougar!!! I m 40 something!!!

How is work going for you? I have changed jobs and I have started a new one as a woman. It is a giant change. A good one, that is. Nobody has ever met my "unwelcome twin brother" at my new job: it is so nice! :-) People call me ma'am at the store, on the street, everywhere. I am so used to it now! :-)

lol.. Work has been really good been fulltime now for a little over 90 days. I haven't had much of a hard time the first two weeks I got outted by customers a few times but just kept it in my mind I gotta get threw this phase to get to the next if you know what I mean. That is awesome you started a new one. I wish sometimes I could leave my job go somewhere else start fresh as me but I can't. Isn't that the best feeling in the world being ma'amed! :)

Thanks sweetie. If you search on the forums you can find a detailed month to month. I would say just check out my Youtube channel you can see between all the videos. I started recording at 3 months and now I'm almost 10

Serena, I'm just speechless!

You are all so very beautiful that it makes me cry with happiness for you and jealousy knowing the pains of dysphoria that you are freeing yourselves from. Mentally I'm ready to start yesterday but life can be messy and I have commitments. Keep doing it for all of us who can't follow you yet girls! x

Give it some time, and we will be applauding your pictures here too.  ;)

You know, Serena, actually I think we are so lucky, you know? You are a few months ahead of me, you are approaching the one year mark, I am just at the six month mark, but look how beautiful and happy you look! You look like an amazing young woman! Can you believe it happened that fast??? You are truly amazing. I remember you telling us some time ago about a couple of people acting all weird because they realized they were buying a car from a lady who was possibly not born a lady, but it seems like that type of stuff has been going away rapidly. Chances are you will never encounter that ever again.

Me, I started a bit later than you did, like I said, you are a few months ahead of me, and I am not even half as beautiful and glamorous as you are. I am just the sporty type. Nonetheless I am truly amazed at how fast things have been happening!!! Contrary to what I had read and what my doctor had told me, changes are happening so darn fast: my hips are wide, my behind is beyond puffy, my thighs are round and very female like. I have lost a ton of muscle mass. Then the upstairs: everybody had been telling me to be patient... I started out with nothing, maybe a triple A... Then 3 months ago I was a 38A, and now I am a 36B (exact same bra brand and "model", btw), which means I have lost a couple of inches around my rib cage, and I gained a full cup size. Can  you believe it? I cannot!!!My face has gotten so much softer... Nobody ever calls me nothing but ma'am... Everywhere!!! It is amazing!!! Is it really happening??? This fast??? But the absolute best is how guys have been looking at me, smiling at me, and flirting with me lately. Men's attention is the best thing in the world. It is so addictive. I can never have enough of it. Tonight I was driving home from work, and at the light, this cute guy in a SUV, pulls up next to me, looks at me, and smiles at me in that certain way... :-) :-) :-) He had a wedding band and a kid in the back... I felt like saying "thanks, but I don't think your wife would be happy about this... " I just love guys. The best inventipn since... ever!!! :-) :-)

Is there a line of men forming outside your door, Serena? :-) ;-)

Take care,
Andrea

You look so beautiful and happy. But it looks like there is a small head growing behind you? :D

How funny!!! I had not noticed it until you pointed that out!!! I wonder if that little girl knows that she has reached fame on a TG forum!!! :-)
