Fantastic video Jenny! You look amazing!
Yes! Watching this video is a huge help! I've had a really hard week and a few of people have come to me (mostly out of the blue) to help and this is the new icing on the cake
It is so amazing to see the timeline in the photos and when I feel so stuck and going no where sometimes (okay, lots of the time!) it is so great to see how our appearances can change to who we really are. I just hope that I will be so fortunate.
One thing I have noticed in lots of peoples transition videos is how people go from unhappy to happy, but in your video you go from happy to ecstatic!
Excuse me while I spend the rest of the day dreaming of when I do my own transition video...
No time to dream! Now I need to make it happen! hahaha
Ty for sharing!

P.S. I love your hair! I hate my curls...

Thanks Kayla, kasihnya, and Cookies!! I think one of the biggest changes has been my confidence and a lot of it came from finally feeling like I'm getting somewhere with laser. It's been making everything so much easier not having to feel self conscious about beard cover, and that's been translating into bigger and bigger smiles

cynths- I'm so glad that my video made your day a little better! That really cheers me up knowing that it has that effect on people and not the opposite. I think it's important to note that while HRT has changed my body a lot, most of the change to my face has probably been through hard work and experimentation with what works for me as far as presentation: makeup, facial expressions, and just as many little details that I can squeeze in there.

A few months ago I saw a really awesome quote somewhere on a beauty blog that read:

"There are no ugly women in the world, only lazy ones"

That really resonated with me deeply, and I began stepping up how I could improve my presentation in any way possible. It really made a massive difference.

What do you think?

That is fantastic and inspiring!  You really look so much happier now!

Thanks for sharing that.

Hey Jenny! I saw your video and thought it was great ^_^ You're so beautiful!

I remember the other day you posted a thread about how you told your dad you were transgender, and he was super supportive and told you that life was gonna be great for you. I just want to know, has your dad had a chance to see how beautiful his daughter has become? I'm sure he would be so happy for you if he hasn't seen the way you'ved changed already

Let us know!

Very true about making the effort
I've left the lazy me behind, amazing the effect the right motivation can have isn't it?

Love the new avatar btw Jenny! Love the outfit! You look great!

You are welcome Jenny!! I am starting HRT soon, and I can not wait.

Erin- thanks for your comment! Very happy to have inspired you somehow!

kyh- thanks!! My dad left a comment on my facebook when I posted the video. He said:
"You've spread your beautiful wings and taken flight...you are free...free to grow in every direction imaginable. How fortunate I am to be part of your amazing life...I love you so very much..."
BEST DAD EVER!! I do not have any words to describe how much his love means to me. I was expecting some support, but I've been absolutely blown away.

cynths- thank you It seems I am finding a dress for every occasion nowadays and I love it.

kasihnya- You are going to do SO well on HRT! Girl, you are already so far and not even on HRT yet? Ya gotta be kidding me! You are a great example of how presentation makes such a huge difference. Hormones are just one piece of the pie. So excited for you

Great job JennyGirl!  I've been "following" you as we started about the same time.  I'm so happy to see how great you're doing!

EEEEH! I feel warm and fuzzy just from reading that! WHAT A GUY! Haha, I'm SO happy for you!!!!! ^_^

Thank you for documenting such remarkable changes in your life.  I loved the sense of sharing this transition with you to better music, even if it feels I am 100 years behind you in age and only 2 months in to my HRT.  You are gorgeous and, mostly significantly as others noted, you just get happier girl!

You are gorgeous! I hope you find even more success and acceptance in your journey.

Wow, you look fantastic!

I am very happy for you.

Awesome video! Jenny, you are an inspiration...

What a beautiful thing for your dad to say and share with you

You look absolutely gorgeous! Hope you don't mind me saying but watching your video i was surprised how quickly your chest grew!
Thank you for sharing hun x

Ok, so I just watched for the second time.  The changes from zero to 3 months on HRT, wow... very surprising and amazing.  And the last 2 months, can't find words for that... except you are finally seeing who you really have been all that time, I'm happy for you!!

So awesome, Jenny. My favorite parts of this video are you smiles Pure, genuine, they make me smile too. Stay strong, don't ever let anything break your stride for long Meghan

Whoamygawd thanks girls!

Meghan it makes me cringe with happiness that you watched my video!! Actually when I was deciding whether or not to transition, your stunningly beautiful transition video was one of my hugest inspirations. I might not be here like this today if not for you! Thank you, I am so so so very grateful!!!

I wouldn't change the last 5 months for anything- or the 28 years it took to get there for that matter.

Thanks again everyone, I'm really glad you liked it

Jennygirl your video is SUCH an inspiration to watch and you are so beautiful 

with one video you have removed most, if not all, of the fears i have with beginning transitioning. 

Im heading into the big '30' next year and hopefully starting hrt very soon and if i can look half as gorgeous as you do at 5 months... ill never have another fear or doubt again.  

congrats on such a fab achievement

Hi Jenny, your video is truly inspiring.  I'm about the same age as you 27 turning 28 in six months and was worried that hormones woul have little effect on my body.

Nikki- I just love seeing all those smiley faces... I mean... I LOVE IT! Thank you so much girlie

amber, don't worry 27/28 is not too late at all. And it's not all just about hormones, I have put a lot of work into my presentation and trying to figure out what works for me. I'm still changing a lot, but it's soo much fun and I would not trade this experience for anything in life... Maybe not even being cis female I mean I do have my off days (like the week following laser) but for the most part I am really happy to be going through this process and sharing it with people- and (in my head) providing a little inspiration seems like the best possible outcome of sharing something like this video. I love hearing about people who get pumped for their own transitions!! Sooo great!!
