2 years ago I started applying a special gel… And now here I am with a better self-image, loving who I am as a person, and just overall happier (also have switched to injections)! Also wearing woman clothing contributed here. :blobfoxlaugh:
While I won’t claim that it has completely solved my mental health issues; I’d also lying if I didn’t say that it HAS significantly helped, and I’m glad I took the leap of faith 2 years ago!
I’m still pretty early on my journey comparatively speaking - but I think I’ve got my general fashion style down and I love what E is doing to my shell (and becoming the girl I want)… Here’s to the following year of transitioning! :apartyblobcat:

So Sept 17th is my Estroversary. I came out Pride Month 2017, didn't start Estrogen until 2020. I got gatekept out the first time. I was almost made homeless by my first attempt. Just could not actually scrape the money together for all the extraneous tests. It took me years to work up the amount of skills necessary and life/career development necessary.
Hands down the best decision I have ever made in my life was starting HRT. It's been 5 years now. 4 of them in Germany. I could talk about the changes from physical to even mental but I really feel that's been covered enough and at length.
I could talk about how early I knew. I could talk about the Judges, Doctors, Psychologists, Endocronologists, Lawyers, blood draws and court/Dr dates. But those are boring and hard to think about. Plus they were in two countries in two languages seperated by an ocean. It's not easy to explain those in a post with the cultural and language and legal differences.
I am me and I can finally see me and have people default respect that. So here are some pictures of me that are rather mixed together both pre-E and post. All of them I was already out as a trans woman.

I saw several posts today about celebratory HRT moments, which reminded me that I forgot to post something for my 18 months on hormones in mid-August. I guess better late than ever!
The photos below were taken in 6 months' intervals, with the first one being from day 1. It's funny to me that looking at these pictures now, my favourite is the one taken 6 months in. 🤔 In any case, even with all the skepticism I usually have about how much I have changed, I have a hard time denying that something has changed. I don't see that I changed "radically", to use the word my best friend used, but I guess even I have to admit that I do look different.
Can't wait to see what I will look like in 18 months' time, with the changes that I am making in my hormone regimen...

Yesterday I celebrated 1 year on HRT. I wanted to have written something here but I had a group of wonderful queer girls coming over for dinner and spent most of the day preparing that, so didn't have the time I wanted to reflect on it, write something about it and put together a transition timeline.
It feels remarkable to me, specially as I am ticking some checkboxes. I have just done one of the 2 surgeries I wanted to do from the get go, and the other one will come in a month and a half. But even more so than that, I am finally starting the changes in my face that friends and relatives had been mentioning to me for a while. I had a hard time spotting any significant changes in the 6 months pic, but now I can clearly see the difference, in the cheeks in particular. I even have a dimple when I smile now!
My body has changed immensely, and i don't mean just the boobs (but yay boobs!). I have a much thinner waist and a wee bit of an hourglass shape and my skin is gloriously smooth. For the first time in my life, I look in the mirror after a shower and I like what I see. Well, almost everything, but we are getting closer to dealing with that.
But, physical changes aside (as important as they are) it's everything else that has really made a difference. Yes, there were some negatives, starting with the divorce and moving out of the place I called home. But I have gained so much in self-confidence and self-acceptance, and that is priceless. I have found a place in the world that, probably for the first time ever, feels right. I am surrounded by the right people (queer women mostly, my absolute chosen fam) and I am taking and giving joy and support within this new community. Medical transition has been crucial, yes, but this, most likely, is the best aspect of my transition so far.
And I can't wait to see what year 2 will bring, in both senses. There's a big surgery coming up, of course, but I want to see what other changes will HRT bring (specially to see how big the boobs will grow 😁). I am starting an NGO with 2 other queer women to help the community with outreach, awareness raising and information spreading. And I met a wonderful new friend who might turn out to be something more than just a wonderful new friend… Year 2 holds so much promise, I can't wait to see what it has in store.

Just noticed that since 12:00, today I’ve been on #HRT for exactly 9 months. 😊
(Less than a month of it on #OfficialHRT, though.)

My how time flies. Today is my 4th #hrtversary. I don't really want to focus on the physical changes. Things are still changing but those are obvious. I want to focus on what I've achieved.
One of the things HRT can do is quiet your mind. In that time I have beaten Sekiro and some of the challenges in Sekiro that have made long time souls players quit. Platinumed Elden Ring. Beaten the Witcher 3. Almost platinumed Baldur's gate 3. And that's just video games that I can now pursue without anger and just enjoy with no stress.
I've also learned German. One of my teacher's coworkers said "I also had an American woman that was in my class with perfect German" in reference to me and my teacher beamed with perfect. My German is not perfect. It's probably a B2 but I was doing things during my courses like passing out in front of my refrigerator and dropping into deep panic attacks. I never would have survived immigration without transitioning.
In the last year I've received two promotions and two raises at a locally famous restaurant. My boss prefers women because she is also one. She finds us more communicative, less reactive to stress and anger, and more responsible. Now I have received a monthly raise of about 20%. My boss speaks practically zero english but my German puts me as speaking and interacting with the Germans. I am the "Honorary German". Ergo I accomplished all of that not in my mother-tongue of English.
None of this would have been possible had my mind not been quieted and calmed by medical transition. Lessening of dysphoria is observed in how trans people can repay back dramatically into the economy when allowed to exist, have accessible resources and be free of discrimination.
I'm not saying we should be granted rights because of what we can contribute but if your bigoted aunt needs an actual tangible reason why puberty blockers should be allowed to minors and it's child abuse to deny them, I and many other trans people like me are that reason. HRT saved my life. It made it possible for me to grow, heal and improve beyond my boundaries.
Pre-E I could do a lot, achive much, I was a helluva cook but now I can fly.
Left is a picture of me close to current and right is me a few months out of the closet. Ancient history.

None of this would have been possible had my mind not been quieted and calmed by medical transition. Lessening of dysphoria is observed in how trans people can repay back dramatically into the economy when allowed to exist, have accessible resources and be free of discrimination.
I'm not saying we should be granted rights because of what we can contribute but if your bigoted aunt needs an actual tangible reason why puberty blockers should be allowed to minors and it's child abuse to deny them, I and many other trans people like me are that reason. HRT saved my life. It made it possible for me to grow, heal and improve beyond my boundaries.
Pre-E I could do a lot, achive much, I was a helluva cook but now I can fly.
Left is a picture of me close to current and right is me a few months out of the closet. Ancient history.

My how time flies. Today is my 4th #hrtversary. I don't really want to focus on the physical changes. Things are still changing but those are obvious. I want to focus on what I've achieved.
One of the things HRT can do is quiet your mind. In that time I have beaten Sekiro and some of the challenges in Sekiro that have made long time souls players quit. Platinumed Elden Ring. Beaten the Witcher 3. Almost platinumed Baldur's gate 3. And that's just video games that I can now pursue without anger and just enjoy with no stress.
I've also learned German. One of my teacher's coworkers said "I also had an American woman that was in my class with perfect German" in reference to me and my teacher beamed with perfect. My German is not perfect. It's probably a B2 but I was doing things during my courses like passing out in front of my refrigerator and dropping into deep panic attacks. I never would have survived immigration without transitioning.
In the last year I've received two promotions and two raises at a locally famous restaurant. My boss prefers women because she is also one. She finds us more communicative, less reactive to stress and anger, and more responsible. Now I have received a monthly raise of about 20%.

Today (28-July) is my 13th HRTversary. It's certainly been a wild ride. My egg cracked in late 2009, and a whole lot happened between then and 28-July-2011.
I love being a #trans woman, and I wouldn't change that. I only wish I had known sooner. Of course, then we get into causality and what good I might have missed out on. Too early in the morning for that line of thought.
Coffee first. Have a great day!

Today is my #hrtversary - and almost 2 years to the day when I figured out I am Transgender 🏳️⚧️
It has been an absolute wild couple of years, and I feel I'm only just starting to realise so many things...

Today is a milestone in my journey. I have reached one year (minus a couple days due to my shot cycle being 6 days 😋) of HRT! It has been one of the biggest things I have done in the past couple years. I am happy for the support I receive from family and friends, as well as the online community that I have seemed to have fallen in with.
Here's to the continuation of my journey, to those on their journey, to those who have just started theirs, and to those unable to start. We all matter and are all wanted.

Somehow I looked older 5 years ago. Must be the non-natural aging you get from Undeads in Might and Magic 6 (I loved to play that back then) #bihrtday #hrtversary
