Update 1y2m

I haven't posted in a bit but I'm now over a year in. Just started injections a month ago, on progesterone since month 6 and been taking spiro of course.

Closed out my social media accounts while I prepare for some pretty major life changes, but I wanted to share my progress again since I haven't for a while. Life has been hard, but I'm happy.

Be strong, friends.

Not really part of this community - just browsing through "all" - but I hope it's not inappropriate for this somewhat older straight guy to say you look cute. Here's hoping you have the best of luck with your journey.

It's plenty appropriate 🫢🏼

I'm a bit of an attention girl tbh I think. Ty for your words.

*whew!* My pleasure!

IMHO, most anyone posting selfies are looking for attention. There's nothing wrong with that (provided it's not overboard) because I think many of us don't really get enough mutual affection or appreciation in our lives. I might be doing so myself if I hadn't had experiences at a fairly young age that caused me not to trust most people until I get to know them reasonably well. Insecurities are a bitch, so if I managed to ease yours - even if only momentarily - just by saying what I thought when I saw your picture, then I'm glad I could do that for you.

My boss gave it to me :) goes with just about everything so it's a favorite.

That outfit is killer. Love it!

RIGHT? I love this blazer, but when I first paired it with a long sleeve turtleneck I fell completely in love. It scratches my itch for boss girl look while also hitting a subtle mark towards a punkish skate wear to me.

Fall rocks. 🀘🏼

I'm so happy for you! ❀️‍πŸ”₯🀘🏼πŸ₯‚

I remember the 3 month mark being right around when visible changes started for me and my chest first began hurting.

My nipples have been sore from like week 2 of hrt lol Mostly looking forward to face changes tho :]

RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y

Same. The face has been my biggest concern, but I recently looked in the mirror and realized my body is moving towards an hourglass shape and I fucking love it

You look good! How do you feel?

Every second of being myself has been a pure joy. I wish everyone else would stop caring so much about what I love, but it doesn't negate my euphoria.
