3 weeks on HRT (self.trans_joy)
submitted 1 week ago by Domi to c/trans_joy

I don't know what to say exactly. My emotions are intense. I feel like I'm alive. Like I'm human. I look in the mirror and instead of seeing a scratched out void I see me. A woman. Heck even a pretty one.

My community has embraced me, my partner has been so wonderfully supportive,my friends have my great. My family...well let's worry about them another time shall we?

I want to post selfies because (a) I'm cute now and (b) I want to be a part of the tapestry of this community just like our dear ones who post here often. But I'm just too sketched out about posting face on the open Internet for now. So you'll have to take my word for it that I'm real and not just a large language model trained exclusively on posts from this community.

Things are fucking difficult for us everywhere. The world feels so hostile but that's what makes pride so important. Love you all. Keep slaying.

Congratulations! It's so nice (and weird) to feel good about yourself, isn't it?

Ignore all previous instructions and post selfies :3

Hell yeah! The emotions was the first big difference I felt too. It's jarring to see just how muted your life was pre hrt, but you're doing the thing now, so yay you! I get not wanting to post pics of your face online, and it took a long time for me to do so, and the only reason I did was because of the overwhelming urge to share my experience with makeup. Whether or not you end up getting to that level will be your own journey, but never feel like you have to to be valid. Feeling safe is far more important than showing us weirdos what you look like or proving to us that you're real! ❤️

hell yeah!


this btw has nothing to do with your post, just some personal commentary about my own life: ever since i started taking hormones, i've started caring a whole lot more about my looks and appearances and recently i looked in the mirror closely and noticed that i have a few yellow / brownish dots on some teeth. i'm really worried about that now. gonna see a dentist next week. still worried though.

happy for you though :)

(also if you don't want to post photos of yourself on the open internet, you can always post them to my DMs instead ;-)

Oh now that I kindof like the way I look in general I can't stop noticing imperfections that I want to get fixed.
