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.
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?
ALSO!
WELCOME TO THIS WORLD BABY TRANS FRIEND!!!
I’m excited for you! 😁
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
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 🥹)
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.
