Yeah, not too happy about that.
Fortunately while there's definitely more of a resemblance now, I can see someone cute in there as well. Especially if I remember not to frown all the time.
Actually, come to think of it, I look way more like my grandmother. Hope I got the boob genes as well.
Hmm. Many years of thinking "hurr hurr I wish I was a lesbian", and I never thought to ask myself why.
Sure, you get to date girls.
But also...? Come on, past me, you've almost got it...
Estrogen skin is a lot softer and less rubbery, with a finer "grain" -- my fingerprints have receded so much that my phone's sensor doesn't work any more. The dryness probably doesn't help, either. It makes holding smooth things like glasses pretty difficult. I think that's why jars are so hard to open, too, rather than a strength issue.
Nice outfit! I like the scarf. And thanks for sharing <3
Oh hello, are you me?
I've been watching Elena Darlingg recently, and got a bad case of "wow, she's amazing. I'm never going to be as much of a woman as her. I'm not really trans anyway..." etc etc.
Mostly I just recognize this as an unhelpful thought pattern and go do something else for a while (and cuddle Blåhaj). Objectively, I know that these are thoughts that cis women have; it's just imposter syndrome; I should be comparing progress against my past self and so on, but that really doesn't help much when I'm feeling jealous.
Sometimes I do get euphoria though, and while I can't call it up on demand, I do try to remember those times and that I'm doing this to feel good!
Starting HRT made a big difference: I'm in the pipeline now and just sitting around is still working towards my goal. I hope your therapist will get you sorted soon.

Oh, and prosody, vocab, going slower, and being more empathetic. Talking like a girl is hard.
Howdy ma'am!
🥺

~~Definitely not trans~~
~~OK, possibly a bit trans~~
You caught me :3
Congratulations, and best of luck for the future!
I know! This could be a really good bonding experience.
I mean... it is a bit weeby, but that's no reason not to wear one. Have you tried searching for "adult size navy school dress" or something like that? Short of a cosplay store you probably won't find anything exactly the same, but there are plenty of similar items out there.
