FTM 21, currently a little over a month on T. I’ve never been happier and im finally starting to see myself in the mirror. This is the first gender euphoric picture I’ve take since my transition.

2 year on t and a lot of hours in the gym 😂 but feeling more confident in my skin

Even though I still get misgendered sometimes

As the title says.

If only my mustache could grow more 😭😂

EDIT: this was a DUI drugs (fentanyl)—not alcohol-related just to clarify
got my second DUI on September 2nd, and I spent 30 days in isolation because I am trans. this isn’t anything new to me, but I threw away 18 months of sobriety.
I decided that I can either throw my hands in the air and give up, or I can dust myself off and continue to better my life.
the day I was released from prison last June, I called my mom crying. I was in the diversion program here, which has a very low success rate and is very rigorous. the program had sanctioned me to six months in the pen, and I told my mom “I don’t want to go back. I’m so scared something is going to happen.” she said “do two things to help your situation. two small things—right now—that you CAN control.”
this sh** doesn’t happen overnight, and I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.
it’s everyone’s first time on this earth, and we should give each other (and ourselves) grace.
thanks for reading and much love to my community on here
also, I didn’t get any testosterone for 5 weeks, so I am currently stabilizing back out and really liking the lil mustache/goatee combo I decided to try. 2, 3, 4, and 8 are pre-incarceration, but they’re photos I felt confident in.

My main goal on T was growing a mean Mo, and I think I have made it. (Yes, I absolutely went through a dying it phase too)

I'll add the cat tax in the comments lol

fun fact my hair wasn’t curly pre-t

oh also it’s officially been 65 weeks on T!!

I feel very happy with where I'm at with T, but excited for more progress. Top surgery will hopefully be coming in spring of the new year. For autistic people with body image issues, I think the changes transitioning brings can sometimes have difficult aspects to them. But sitting with my feelings about things that make me a little insecure, such as much more body hair or a changing face shape, make me even sure I'm on the right path. There are small insecurities, but so much more light in my eyes than I ever had before. I dont even really consider my past life a life— just survival until I could feel okay in myself.
