Left is my 31st birthday, -22 months HRT, flew a Cessna around and then doublefisted some margaritas. Ask me what happened to my fingers, I dare you! (I have pictures...)
Right is when we saw Orville Peck, 5 days before my 2 year HRT anniversary.
Holy shit you're gorge! Did you say you're 31 in the before picture? That's me now and I thought I'd missed the boat in terms of passing... You're making me think now
Thank you so much, and yes! I started HRT at 33. I don't really look at pictures from 0-12 months because it was a little rough going for a bit, but everyone says to trust the process and they aren't wrong.
Here are some of those pictures, I hate looking at them but I know it's beneficial for people to see the awkward phase: https://imgur.com/a/TCPe0MY
Trans timelines or selfies are welcome here :) I'd be open to changing that if enough people wanted it to be changed, but right now where there aren't really established alternatives for transfeminine people to post this kind of content to I'm more than happy to have this community accommodate that.
I started following the trans timelines subreddit when I started transitioning a couple months ago and I'm sad there doesn't seem to be a lemmy community for such a thing.
It was such a great resource when I started transitioning. For a year or so I felt like giving up all the time because there was no way I was going to like how I looked, but seeing all the before and after pictures gave me the hope to see the damn thing through. I'm glad I did!
Exactly my same experience with that subreddit! Helped me realise that transitioning is what I want and it’s not too late for me yet. Truly inspirational.
Maybe I won’t look as “fem” or “pretty” as some, but the happiness I saw on post transition pics changed something in me
It was horrible for me, constantly second guessing my transition after seeing those beautiful girls after 16 months or whatever.
I'm a bit past 3.5 years now and still look like trash. Never got the good ED that the other girls had and swung the other way with compulsive eating.
There's a reason why you never see the fat MTFs anywhere
