I'd pray for an early death and waste myself on alchol and drugs to help speed things up. If it didnt happen fast enough I'd drive out somewhere peaceful and quiet and shoot myself in the head. If HRT fails me I may still do that yet.

And if you could never do HRT, is it possible to still transition?

Sure. I've known some people who did that. Before our modern era, that was the primary way to transition.

Hairstyle and laser makes a lot of difference to a persons appearance.......... but HRT doesn't influence facial structure or fat distribution that much.

I've been on HRT for 7 years and I haven't changed physically or facially at all during that time. It may make a person feel more relaxed and effects a persons emotions but it is limited physically.

er? yes, but when your fairly young, and never quite finished puberty, it has MASSIVE effects....
i had a LOT of fat movement, and my face is unrecogniseable from before. i dont even look related to me...
and ive had no hair removal, thats from hrt.... it just got sparecer and gone!

Here is a picture of me two years ago in Smoky Mountains Tennessee.



This was my most recent pic, last winter.



I must say that the hormones have done a pretty good job on me. Do I look like I'm a lady in her sixties in these photos?

Aw c'mon! you've got the girliest puffy lil' cheeks i've ever seen. that's not from hormones?

tbh, if your too skinny, or old, then hrt wont effect you facially too much.

I've looked more or less the same since I was 13....I'm now 47 and have only been on hormones for about 7 years..

Oh Berleigh, you were such an adorable young girl!

I didn't pass as a boy a lot of the time and it was a bit embarrising for my parents. It got worse in my teens......I used to get hit on sometimes and I was nearly raped once. It was tough getting through life in general in my teens and 20's.....

Ironically, I think I look more male nowadays, now I'm into transition which is a pain..

Hi Berliegh

Those pictures were great but I do know what you mean by the harassment in public school and once I got to 12 years old I left my hair grow by the time I was sixteen I had butt length hair, people stopped bugging me because they just weren't sure anymore what I was, this was during the hippy era.  I was being clocked as a girl by a lot of people right on up to mid twenties where where I finally cut my hair off and I finally began to grow a light beard where I looked more androgynous. then anything else.
