Progress collage with a new favorite shot
Hey ghosts in my machine! I promise not to spam post but I made a body progress college I wanted to share with you all. It's from the day I finally decided I was tired of how I was presenting and needed a change from around 8 years ago. It took my first weight loss transition to reach my goal and realize I still hated my mirror to finally be absolutely certain I was trans. It took another 7 years after that to know I couldn't just let it go.
It's been a worn tooth and nail journey, and I'm not where I want yet, but when I see myself now, I finally see me. I hope the same for you.
You're viewing a single thread.
Damn, goals!
I never know weather this question is rude (baby trans here) so feel free to tell me to get lost.
Did you have facial surgery or is this from hrt only?
I don't personally feel it's rude? The subject matter is my medical transition progress and I think the question is relevant.
No surgery. I'm way too poor. Just the stereotypical autism-baby-face with a bit of hrt luck and smiling helps me a lot. Cheeks aren't fully there when I got RBF going.
I try to smile a lot to compensate 😅
My regime is oral estradiol, Spironolactone and progesterone (since month 6).
On the I hit 9 months hrt early this month.
Current resting face
Autism baby face? That explains so, so much. I didn't know that was a thing, but several of my trans friends are on the spectrum and all of them have very soft, youthful faces.
Yup. It's a thing.
Been told by a few people there may be something to autism being tied to how our connective tissue develops and forms. I'm not a bioscience girl tho. I just plug people's power cords into the wall and pretend I'm smart when they praise me for fixing their computer.
Thanks! This really gives me hope I might be ok without ffs as well!
(And you are gorgeous btw :3)
Many people are. I'd say the vast majority of people I know personally were fine without it, but I do have friends who felt it was a need.
My advice is give hrt a year and a half to two years to do it's work first and see how you feel. Take daily photos too. Really smart choice I made I think. Made it easier to start seeing differences and It's fun scrolling and watching my face change over time.
(Thank you for the compliments 🥹)
ALSO!
WELCOME TO THIS WORLD BABY TRANS FRIEND!!!
I'm excited for you! 😁
