by now I've seen countless transition pictures, and every one of them seems like magic.
like y'all just showing a picture of a brother and sister and expecting expecting me to believe they are the same person. my brain is unable to believe it.
HRT, is the closest we have to magic potions.
it is fucking sorcery
that's the most fun kind of sorcery, unlike normal sorcery
That's largely bias due to, well, if the transition isn't going well or HRT isn't leading to great results, people are much less likely to post that openly online
God dammit, you can't replace magic with survivorship bias, I'm as now.
such great progress, congrats!!
EDIT: just wanted to point out that you've done yourself a huge favor by starting so young, well done 💖
yayy thanks. I mean I didn't start that young only when it was viable at 18 aka a year before moving out cause that is the amount of time I would be able to hide
"I didn’t start that young only when it was viable at 18"
Girl, you're still little more than a baby.
fiiiine
it's OK not to see it now, but when you're older you'll look back and see; I hope you will feel immense pride and gratitude to the younger person you are now - because you deserve to feel that
you are so sweet 💜
When I was your age I was starting to buy skirts and "cross-dress" privately (at home) more, that's when I chose my name and started experimenting with makeup. Then I repressed for more than a decade, so ... yeah, don't do what I did.
I know it probably feels too late to you, but 18 is a much better time than you realize - the body continues to androgenize significantly. I couldn't grow a beard until my mid 20s, my voice significantly changed in my 20s - the changes are huge.
So even starting at 18 you've saved yourself significant distress and suffering that waiting longer would have caused. ❤️
That iss fair. Hey I am glad you found yourself eventually. I hold the belief that no matter the starting age or genetics transition can lead to happiness for anyone. Time and time again I have seen older trans women who started much later than I glowing so what I mean to say is that first it is never too late (no matter how painful and slow progress is) and that I am proud of you that you eventually started and took steps control of your gender expression too ❤️
oh yes, fully agree - it's never too late to start, even if it's pretty much always better to start earlier 😅
for me anyway that was true (I don't want to assume too much about others, but it does seem like it's true for most of us) - I didn't think I would ever pass and I thought I was signing up for being visibly trans the rest of my life.
In particular what I think is worth it is the hormones - I really didn't understand how significantly the wrong hormones can impact mood and mental health.
So from that perspective I tend to think we need to be on the right hormones regardless of what age we are - just to be healthy and happy. Obviously it's hard to live as a visibly trans person, but you just never know how it's going to go (I was completely wrong, for example).
Life is so much better than I ever understood it could be - and I was so mistaken about gender, lol. My whole life I thought it was something trivial, that gender was just social and gender expression was about what clothes I wore or how I was treated socially - I didn't understand gender has such strong biological components and could be a major medical issue with serious consequences for mental health (caused by the hormones and biology, not from something like not being able to wear the clothes you want).
Anyway, I just wish I had learned some things earlier, and it makes my heart full when I see younger folks figuring it out and living better lives 🥰
Wish I knew sooner to but better late than never ☺️
Awesome change though, in almost 2 months in.
congrats on the two months! andd thanks. Also stay strong and patient early progress can be so slow unless you have blessed genetics just know there is light in the end of the tunnel.
