Hi Pippa

I just checked out those pictures and I can definitely see progression. You are looking great! How long have you been on hrt? I really like the grey dress and skinny jeans outfit by the way!

About six months.  I have also been getting laser hair removal, I have had 3 sessions, and over the last seven or so months I have lost about two stone.   I have lapsed recently and over the next few months I am going to redouble my efforts to exercise and mould a more feminine figure.

Thanks for the compliment.  I just needed someone elses opinion to boost my confidence

hey you, it's clear from the pictures that you are changing, no doubt about it. A smile would go a long way too 

No...not in me

The hairstyle is much better in the last two pics and it's always good to grow your hair out. Also your eyes look good. But I wouldn't like to make any in depth opinions and I think you should be asking genetic females for opinions who may be far more honest and productive.

If someone's opinion was not what you wanted to hear would it still boost your confidence?... I jest!
It shouldn't matter what other people think, you're hot end of story...right?

I think a negative response would make me more determined rather than losing confidence.  I know that I am never going to be a supermodel but equally, I don't want the bloke in a dress tag.   Also it is difficult to gauge any changes as I look at myself in the mirror every day.   I need that third party perspective.

Yes, it does. A certain person who I am close to, even after my 10 years of transition will rip me to pieces from time to time. Do I like it? no! are they right? always. She also is TS and after 15 years down the line, she also has her bad points. The only way to improve and progress is to take a critical eye over your bad points (which I often do about myself) and try and work on one thing at a time. I usually pic on one of my photographs and I can see what needs improving. The best photographs for a genuine perspective are in taken in full sunlight and outside with a good camera.

Good on you then, It's something I've been thinking about recently. Sometimes people can sense what you want to hear and just say it to keep the peace, a reassurance/stoking of the ego. I get the feeling a lot of people see it as a 'female thing', but I disagree with it and see it as a form of insecurity. I think there are certain ways to ask and get an honest opinion out of people, and to not become the kind of person who is known not to be able to handle the truth. So yeah good to see. And looking at your photos I can see the progression, just as much as you can!!
Not to dribble on too much but yesterday I realised why I found a particular guy so attractive for so long, because he tells it like it is, butt ugly but strangely attractive!! lol!
