Oh hai Tumblr. Looks like something has breathed new life into you after such a long time.

Well here I am many years later having just gotten my GCS/GRS

That transition thing worked out just fine.

The higher dose of estrogen is definitely having an effect. I'm suddenly much preferring to wear a skirt on a hot day!

But seriously, a few people this week have commented that my shoulders look smaller and today I notice this leather jacket, which was tight a few months ago, is now getting almost roomy.

I can't really describe how much it's a dream come true to be experiencing this. For so long I hopelessly dreamed I could be a girl and now it turns out I could actually make it happen once I had the courage to come out. I'm so happy I did and so looking forward to my life ahead now

Hi can i talk to you? Can u message me

hello, yes of course. What can I do for you?

Nearly 3 months HRT and I have had some interesting observations lately about myself and my transition. I’m just starting on 4mg Estrodial Valerate, a doubling of the initial test dosage. Even though it was a really small dosage it’s been quite noticeable to me that I’ve changed. My skin is finer, and I’ve lost mass all-round. I’m slimmer and lighter than I was. I still look ostensibly kind of male, but I dress as female 99% of the time in my trainers and jeans way. 

Something I didn’t really expect was that my life long drive to keep fit and exercise has fallen away. Which leads me to believe that I used to use exercise as an attempt to “fix” myself. I’d workout and run to better myself as I really felt terrible about myself. All of a sudden my confidence in who I am has meant that a few weekends have gone by and I’ve just not really felt like going for a run, and that I was suddenly okay about it. I have been realising that most people haven’t had the same drive to run that I always had. It’s incredibly calming. I really do like myself so much more now. 

This week also I’ve been organising the blood tests and appointments to get my new prescription. It’s been highs and lows with some misgendering from GPs and then my local practice being so great switching my name and gender marker over really quickly. That feels so good. All of a sudden I’m SO looking forward to the future. I now really would love breasts to grow, where before I was curious or ambivalent about it. I care far more about being perceived as female and hearing “miss” or “she” gives me a lovely thrill whereas before I was liking it, but a little awkward about it. 

Now I’m starting to feel they’re talking about me!

I’d adjust this to not just include Millenials but all people.

All smiles here, 6 weeks of HRT down. I feel I've got the chance to be myself truly for the first time ever and it's incredibly exciting. Today I went to my banks and updated my name and pronouns too.

Week four of my HRT done! That's one month done and today I received my replacement driver's licence with my name and change of gender!! I'm so happy about this, everything is starting to happen, starting to progress. Last week I began to notice my skin changing slightly, it's become softer and more even in tone. I'm also setting some thinning around my neck and waist. Tiny, but a wonderful beginning.

I like to think of this as me gaining my super powers at long last, like Peter Parker getting bitten by a radioactive spider, but instead of turning into a spider-man overnight, he spends the next 3 years gently turning into a happy woman.

As some of you may already know, I have an injury around my vocal cords from chronic throat infections. It’s called Muscle Tension Dysphonia. Basically it’s like any muscular injury, and every time I have to speak it gets worse. Feels like strep and like swallowing razors if I have to talk for more than a few minutes. It really sucks. 

The speech pathologist charges $350 for the assessment, and $150 for following therapy sessions (massage, voice training, etc, to reduce the strain). I had hoped to find an alternative and was sure I could find something less expensive, but it turns out I can’t. I regret that I didn’t save money for it, but I didn’t think it would be necessary.

All that to say, if you’d like to support me that way my ko-fi is here. Otherwise, feel free to signal boost.

So today is the day. February 20th 2019 is the day I received my prescription for Hormone Replacement Therapy in order to begin the medical part of my transition to female. Obviously I’m over the moon, and can’t quite believe I actually made it to this point. It’s taken a lot of work and planning so far, but I’m just now really starting. 

I traveled down to Brighton on England’s South Coast last night from London and stayed in a hotel overnight. I treated myself to a face mask and relaxed, knowing I’d be getting up bright and early in the morning, doing my makeup as well as I could, to go see the endocrinologist at Nuffield Health. 

He was lovely and talked me through everything and offered me the option of a prescription right then and there. Of course I said YES! A private E prescription for 3 months cost the outrageous sum of... £10. Incredible. 

I traveled back up to London and got it filled in at Liverpool Street Station and gobbled that fucker down with a nice lunch! Ha. I then spent a nice evening with my best friend Ruth who was pooped from creating her new gym studio in Bethnal Green. We had a lovely walk around Shoreditch looking at clothes before a healthy Busaba dinner. 

What a day!

Absolutely gorgeous. What a dream!

Having a little fun trying a bit of red lip. But then of course havily filtering the image! My skin’s no where near this good, but I like my smile lines are still there.

I was really interested to do subtle tweaks to the geometry of my face, in much the same way that I’ll be doing at the end of the year with Facial Team. The photo above wasn’t tweaked like that, but even small adjustments to brow and jawline make a massive difference to the proportions of my face which makes me feel that the surgeries will be really beneficial to me in the future.
