Blåhaj is always up for a cuddle.
Joined in club activities that I haven't been to in a few months. Not out there, but also not hiding anything. Got a lot of "I thought some new girl had joined at first, but it was only you!" comments :3 (This is a 95% male club, so I guess they noticed something!)
I'm taking that as a win. I wonder what they'll say this time next year?
Nowhere near as fast as you, but things I've noticed so far (from my notes):
- Day 5: reduced BO (why is this never on the charts?), reduced spontaneous erections, libido gone
- Day 10: swollen nipples
- Day 18: definite buds
- Day 24: semi-clear, low volume emission
I had quite pronounced man-boobs already, so it's hard to tell about breast growth, but I've been losing significant amounts of fat everywhere else and I think they might be a bit more prominent than they were.
Not really noticed stronger emotions or anything like that yet, although I am quite a bit calmer / happier. That could just be because I'm facing the right direction now though!
I've wondered about Klinefelter too (didn't have much of a beard until well into my 30s, for example) - will find out next month when I get my test results back.
Waiting...
... for my hair to get long enough for even a short feminine cut. I don't really feel like wearing a wig, but I guess I might try a cute headscarf.
... to lose weight. I'm going about as fast as I safely can, and it's noticeable, but there's still a lot to go.
... for hair removal. Seeing the effects already, but gotta wait at least a month between appointments.
... for hormones. First appointment in six weeks or so. At least there's DIY as a fallback.
But! I'm out to my family, and my immediate coworkers (I work from home anyway). So I can wear what I want, practice my voice and makeup, and things are good. I don't wear anything more boyish than women's jeans and a semi-fitted T-shirt (OK, fairly neutral), and I guess I'll just tell anyone who asks. Just wish I could see in the mirror how I feel.
Yay, thanks for the update!
Hiya, and congratulations! Newbie here.
Now that I'm no longer using junk food and booze to fill the gaping void in my life, I'm slowly but steadily losing weight (for the first time ever) - went down a belt notch today :) I wonder if my man boobs will stay to give me a head start?
Plus, first laser session in a few hours. Bye bye, beard!
Disaster incoming...
Better than I could put it, thanks!
Things I've found out this week:
- wearing a skirt makes me look pregnant (way too much belly fat)
- makeup looks a lot better from a distance
- eyeliner won't stick (tried liquid and pencil so far)
- I have no idea how to do makeup
- skincare makes a huge difference
- camisole over t-shirt rocks!
- buying clothes I like is fun!
- still look like a fat old man in drag :(
Hehe, I was forgetting I still have T skin...
No, you're right - a large part of my recent panic has been "what if this destroys my family", and I know that's still on the cards. I thought about how I'd have reacted in the past if she'd come out as a trans man (probably very badly, although I'd be fine with it now), but eh, we've had our crises in the past (more than a few caused by my unhappiness) and pulled through. Que sera sera, and I'm cool with that.

I found a regular padded sports bra gave a pretty good look (especially since I had some chest fat from being overweight), but because I knew it was just padding I ended up feeling worse overall. YMMV.
