Not always true. I weighed 135 and now I am usually around 170 +- 5-10 pounds and I still look stupid.

Yeah I know. YMMV and so on...

You look very pretty I like your hair, I think the onlyt thing is that you have a very prominent nose, but its' not really bad... Very feminine!

I keep wondering if I may have jewish ancestors (I only know jewisth culture from hollywood movies and a visit to an historical synagogue). Not counting the trach shave, Chett put the nose as the second most needed fix after the brow. And in the photos it looks slightly smaller, but.. there is a lot of columellar tissue so it protrudes far too much. The nasal spine will need to be fixed too, but I already have an FFS plan and chosen my surgeon. Just waiting until I am allowed to travel again.

@Julia (Apple-Whatever):
I only know your nose from the photos, but I kinda like it from there. Photos can be a bit misleading though, I take lots of pics at tight angles because when I don't I feel my nose is really long. So, I don't really know how big your nose is or isn't. Here is what I mean..I really ought not to post this, but look at what an angle can do to my nose:


It looks quite bigger in that less flattering photo of mine than the ones I would choose for my profile, etc.

The only non-lying photos I have are the ones intented for the surgeons. mugshot angles, perfect lighting, and the best lens I had for my DSLR. And I assure you, they aren't exactly glamorous. But anyways, I 've been wanting to have rhinoplasty all of my life. In the end, it willl be rhinoplasty + alarplasty. it is that kind of nose both long and wide that manages to even pull the skin from the upper lip making it look like an angle. I'm glad that chett is really good at soft tissues.
There is an universal consensus that I really need a nose fix as a minimum, from VFFS, FFS surgeons, friends... I had an internal repair last year (turbinate surgery), and along with the rhinoplasty they will improve the septum, too.

Regarding my full body:

Warning, slightly NSFW (underwear blurry photo)

I look really thin on the front, but from a side view everything changes. all of my fat is concentrated in the belly, as if I do not seem to have cells in any other area. Also, the smallest amount of food will bloat me. I also haven't exercised in a long time those abs, so that contributes. a few weeks at the gym and it should be taken care of.

From the front, just the front... It's something that it was like that when I was a dude: I have a slightly smaller than usual frame for a guy, but a normal sized gut. Pre-tansition I was also all gut, but I solved it by gaining muscle mass... I needed two years after starting to transition to be able to wear a female M (shoulders). The only moments I've been fully flat are when I was at 60 kg but with muscle (at 7 months HRT I still had very defined abdominal muscles), and at 56 with no muscle and minimal fat. Androcur really killed everything.

Don't try to make me smile today.



I'm so tired of my face, and yet I want to ditch FFS in favour of SRS.

I was recently asked to be a groomsman in a good friends wedding.  I was honored for the invite, and I figure I probably won't have too many more opportunities to get to wear a tuxedo.

I don't see why so many of you have insecurity issues with yourselves. Women come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and physical characteristics. Beauty is relative thus subjective to each individual person. Everyone is always beautiful so someone no matter how much disdain we have for our personal appearance.

Well, that actually made me smile, xD

I though I had posted this, but the integration issues with tapatalk mean that things sent from the quick post never reach the forum.

Yes, you're right, they do. My insecurities is that I am not a woman in the same league as those born of the right body. My very first insecurities with myself started down below with that thing between my legs around puberty, later once I knew what the issue was a started addressing it as well as trying to accept it, and trying to fit in with societal norms as a woman, yet not quite in physical form, all other insecurities emerged, adam's apple firstly and always, but other things such as too much muscle (arms as well as too bulking shoulder muscles in particular), not enough ass, not wide enough hips, still very small teenage breasts that most of the time look more like man-boobs than anything, and the constant plucking of hair, and other things like my voice. The way I see it, hmm, all those worries aren't much different than the average cis-gender woman, so I guess I'm okay.

The last place I had worked back in North Carolina, one of my coworkers, while she did have a cuteness about her, she was built like a girly tank, had no hips, a small butt like a guy, but big wide shoulders, if I hadn't known her before hand and she were wearing guy clothes I'd had thought she were a dude if I had seen her from the rear first. But she wasn't, all girl (and mother of two) all the way. Also had a manager lady (somewhat older but still kinda pretty) that wore a mustache all the time on her face, I had always wondered why she never shaved it off, but I guess it simply just didn't bother her, she was comfortable with herself. See, but they are complete, always ever being right inside and out, so no dysphoria over not being accepted, or just not feeling right with themselves when looking in the mirror.

I actually like my appearance for the most part, I couldn't ever think now of having someone else's face, just mine. I could handle my body shape, and well that can be shaped a little more with certain types of exercise or body wear. But its those things that are male that keep me in that constant state of insecurity, always that fear of being discovered for what I was, not how I live my life and feel on the inside. I am female living within a shell of a man, I think that is good enough reason in itself for any issues I have regarding my body.

I have had tons of guys over the years ask me out or tell me how pretty I am, as well as others such as on this very site, but no matter how many compliments I get, its still not easy to accept that I am wrongly built, so all I see on those times that it does bother me are the flaws.

I am so jealous I swear you can look good in anything and you are musically gifted on top of that! It looks like you had a blast in those pics too which is great. You really do look great Vanna.

So many gorgeous women in here, and I always seem to fall behind on the thread and can't comment on everyone.

But Vanna, you look awesome! You look really confident and comfortable in those pictures and I love the androgynous look.

Looking great!

Check your PMs please. This is a crazy coincidence, but we're from the same small town and went to school together. One girl in my class is FTM, maybe it's something with all the pesticides? :o

lol not to butt in but that's actually pretty cool. I found out that someone I went to church with, the only other "girl" is transitioning to male now.  Crazy how small the world can be.

That's about the most bizarre thing I've ever heard.

For those of you who don't know (which I'm assuming is everyone except me and Erin) we are from a tiny town in Mississippi, and the school we went to had maybe 300 people between middle and high school.

Yeah it's pretty crazy. I've lurked here a while, and saw her holiday pics where she went back, and realized I recognized most of the people in them. A little Internet searching and my jaw dropped when I realized who it was. My little sister was phenomenal at softball, and she's still got some framed articles where Vanna's dad talked about her. I was actually involved in a business deal a few years ago with her dad as well.

I'm a little bit older, but some of my friends younger siblings were in the same class.
