Quote from: April Marie on July 26, 2025, 05:25:43 AM2.5 weeks in and feeling amazing. My dysphoria is gone and I feel somehow more calm. I've had several spontaneous cries brought on by things that never affected me before.

Physically, pace of hair growth has slowed a lot already. I'm noticing changes to my skin; softer and my pores are shrinking. Speaking of "shrinkage," there's been some of that, too. lol Nothing that I can definitely latch on breast wise yet,  but I know it's way early. I am feeling as if they are a bit more dense and heavy but that may also be wishful thinking. And, perhaps just a bit of tenderness this morning.

In any case, I am feeling so amazingly happy.

So happy for you, April. I experienced exactly what you described my first few weeks. The only thing that haven't experienced is being able to cry. I just can't get it to happen.

Intelligence is like underwear. It's important that you have it, but not necessary that you show it off

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸
