Charlotte, I love your new avatar photo.  You look beautiful!

Transition definitely requires us to trust the process and not the mirror. We can be our own worst critics. I am my worst. Others you trust should be the ones who give you the best opinions. You will feel prettier every day!

I hope you feel better!

Charlotte, you are so beautiful and your words were met with tears.

Thanks.

Lovely to wake up today to some beautiful words from my friends on here. Thank you so much.

Honestly I've been good the last few days despite being ill with this cold. I feel better about myself, I looked in the mirror today and am happy with things as they are. I'm finding my love of fashion again and leaving the house everyday looking as good as I can!

Seem to get asked everyday about my outfits at work and my colleagues saying they wish they could pull off the look too. Well I just explain that they can definitely pull off the same looks...there is no reason why not. I like my body shape in a nice sweater and short skirt, so was even ok seeing my face with a little grow back of darker facial hair. I'm a bit androgynous and that's OK. Seems to be working in a way.

I need a couple more laser sessions I think then electrolysis for the stragglers to sort my facial hair.

All I can say is being here is really helping me. Not just receiving help but also some focus on chatting with others, thinking things through and helping where I can. Guess I feel part of something which feels really good. I'm sure I'll have more dips, but hopefully will get less and less over time.

Well it's soon the weekend. I think I'll do parkrun tomorrow to keep my fitness up and just get out there.

Love Charlotte 😻
People tell me I'm successful, kind, amazing, I talk sense and got it all together.  Only some see the real tenuous paper thin foundation behind it. The terrified child protecting herself. But I'm strong. I'm gonna be better. I'm gonna start doing life for me. Not what I think others want me to be. Love Charlotte 😻

I love this and I hope it's true for many people. If nothing else, I think it's incredibly helpful to see in real-time that other people face similar challenges, and we get through them.
