You know, in the last month or so a lot of my insecurities have seemed to go away. I keep looking in the mirror and saying, "Hey, I think that I actually do look good!"

It's kind of weird, I'm not even wearing make up much anymore, unless I'm going out. I was going out to a party looking with my cap on, no make up, a tank top, and jeans. All I got was a couple of people asking me, "So, are you a lesbian?" I ended up meeting a bunch of new people, and it had a fun time. It's a very free feeling not to have insecurities in the back of your mind.

With time, I've found I've become more and more confident in my womanhood. It's been ages sit I sat there and thought that I looked like a boy, and I haven't even thought of FFS at all. I don't go out anymore wondering if I look boy-ish at all, I don't question myself at all these days. My roommate pointed it out by saying, "You know what you haven't asked me in a long time: If you looked boy-ish." And she was right. I also haven't been giving her boob updates, either. I just find I'm not thinking about trans stuff at all anymore. The most recent thought is surgery, but now that my appointment is over I just haven't been thinking about it much. Over all, I'm just living life and it seems pretty normal, but comfortable at the same time.

So, anyway, it's a good feeling over all. I think that hrt, time, and confidence has helped me and it's great.

Hi, Natalie,

I am soooo glad for you!  Talk your talk, walk your walk, and enjoy your life!

Look inside and examine who you are and then continue to be the best her that you can be.

My confidence has been high from the day I came out to myself in 2002.  I was anxious to start my transition and savor every second of it.  I'm no beauty, I need to lose weight and find my waist again, but I am absolutely thrilled to be me, and whoever doesn't like it can sit in the bushes and watch as I pass by.

Be good to yourself and may you always be happy with the wonderful, unique woman you are.

That's great we all have our idea of what we need to look like. I'm happy to here you are getting on with life, that's what I think transition is all about. "It's to allow you to live your life"
Hugs and Kisses

That's what it's all about. Congratulations

That's great Nat! Well done for getting this far. Have fun and enjoy the life you were supposed to have to begin with!

Very Cool Natalie,

I too have found that if I think I'm looking good, then it effects how everyone else see's me too,  Or maybe it's just being relaxed inside, but who knows.  You go girl.

That's really good to hear Natalie. I think we've all kind of seen that journey you've had and getting to that point is never easy for anyone. You've worked really hard and it's really special to see someone go through transition and get to a point where she (or he) looks in the mirror and says "I love myself, I'm beautiful." That's extremely beautiful Meghan

natalie..........

I don't know why in the world you ever thought you were not attractive.
I guess we are all our own hardest critics.
I'm glad you can see more clearly now

Hugs,
