Quote from: Lori Dee on September 06, 2026, 05:20:31 PMOne thing that helped me years ago was leaving small affirmations around where I could find them. Sometimes selfies with my name on them, sometimes just a note: "Hey Lori! Have a Great Day!" These were not reminders of who I was striving to become. They were reminders of who I am. It helped me a lot to see myself and accept who I am.

I like that idea. Affirmations were pretty important to me before my egg cracked.

Quote from: Stottie Girl on September 07, 2026, 02:11:57 AMOoh well that's dangerous Alana. You aren't AI, you will always look in the mirror and feel disapointment if you have a idealised AI image to compare to, we all would. Use AI to change hairstyles, clothing etc but not facial features or body shape etc, it only leads to Dysphoria if you ask me. Learn to accept the beautiful woman you are in the mirror and then perfect your look manually, you will get more satisfaction that way eventually.


I'm slowly seeing her in the mirror. I'm definitely seeing my face get softer, and my body shape changing. My body shape has changed enough now that walk has completely changed.

Have a good week Alana!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

My center of gravity is low enough that I can do stuff that only females can do!

My golf swing is quite feminine in that I use my  flexibility and lower body strength to generate club head speed!  A lot of moving parts but I'm able to combine accuracy and distance at the same time!  This allows me to do well on longer Par 3s by accurately hitting the ball from tee to green with driver, the longest clubs in the bag.

I wore a different shirt to work today, and realized can no longer wear it. I felt so self conscious of my chest in that shirt. It felt like my breasts were so obvious. Tomorrow is my easy day at work, and I'm going to get a pedicure this weekend. I bought new nail polish, and I'm excited to use it.

I just did a thing. I shaved my legs for the first time. I always had them waxed. I didn't get them waxed last weekend, so there wasn't much hair to shave. It felt so validating to do!

Hrt is working its magic on me. I had to finally admit to myself that my chest is growing, and my eyes aren't lying to me. I have "mosquito bites" visible with my shirt on... I started tucking my shirt halfway in to give me a bit more of an androgynous look. I was very happy with how it made me look. Definitely gave me the vibe I'm looking for.

Oh I wish I could go back and re-live that exciting period when those bites turned into full on boobies! You have a very exciting few months to years ahead of you Alana. Relish it, enjoy it while it lasts and embrace it!
