Some of the transformations are amazing and I would have never known that it is possible to change that much.

[LilKittyCatZoey]

i am hoping i willl be one of them one day 

[amymichelle]

lilkitty,  yeah me too, I am in the process of losing weight, working on getting my skin softer with lotions and exfoliating scrubs. Last night I put on the first dress I had bought the other day and also hose and took a few snap shots of me from about the chest down and a some showing my legs in the hose with purple toe nails showing. My legs looked great and I loved ever minute that I had.

Thats great i am glad to hear you can do that unfortunately i cant which is frustrating so i cross in public subtly in girls T's and jeans and may i just say i rock skinnys no matter how tight and never paint my nails it leaves and odor anyone can smell in my room.  i love dress and skirts i have a cute two piece swimming suit i am just waiting for my hair to thin a bit so i can wear it to the beach! And hey if your legs are amazing now just wait till your a year into HRT!

Before:




After: (16 months HRT & 1 month post-FFS)
Still swollen on the tip of the nose, and around the jaw and chin, but improving daily.  There's an inset on the profile from 1+ years HRT that hopefully explains why I felt FFS was necessary.

SarahH,
Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. I've been struggling with beginning HRT due to worries about still not being able to pass. I know it's vain but I want to be viewed as female by the world. There is a potential big price for coming out and to pay that price and still not be able to live as female would be horrible. You have given me confidence that HRT can and does make a big difference. To me it's the face and high waist line that define the female shape. A nice firm bottom and breasts are lovely and I desire them but my face and male mid section are true give aways. Congrats to you!  Love, Rachael

Hey Rachael, youre welcome, happy to give someone some confidence out there if I can!  Mind you, its got to be said that Im still riddled with paranoia about passing and getting along in life - personally I dont think I pass in the 2nd pic because of my hair and eyes - which I think we all experience at some time.  Bear in mind that HRT isnt a quick fix, its along process to work its magic, but itll get there in the end!

Amy, I think you pushed the boundaries on what is possible with the before and after...  Transformed from a handsome guy into an absolutely beautiful, glowing young lady.  Also, I think you had one of the best rhinoplasties I have ever seen, really jealous.

[jessicas37]

if my results can be 50% of what you all are getting i think i will be very happy!!

I dunno about that, but thank you.   I'm quite happy with the results so far!

You've done well, I'd be proud of those results if I were you!

Seeing all the changes that you all have been sharing on here is very emotional for me. I know how much my transition means to me, and I hope that all of you are on a much happier path in life as I am. There is nothing I like more than to see people finally living their dreams and being true to themselves. :-)

@Annah

You and I have strangely similar head shapes, the whole pear thing, and the chin... It's rather uncanny. Curious how you feel about the chin. Personally I'm not a fan, but then again, plenty of people would wish for nothing more than to sit with such a terrible concern.

@Maddie

Your eyes... that's just not fair, way to cute!

@Zoe

You have me beat, but only just barely.

to be honest, it doesn't bother me because I have seen a lot of cisgendered girls with that same feature with the chin

[Eleanor]

This is pretty much the best thread ever. Just saying.

So many fantastic transitions ... Makes me want it really badly

It does take time, measured in years, not days. At first I know it's hard to wait, it seems like it's taking forever. But starting hormones should help as it usually has a calming effect (I know I am MUCH calmer than I was before), so that helps.
