51 pre everything - 54 28 months HRT and FFS - no makeup - no filters

3 years apart, but feels like a lifetime.

2023: 5’8” - 235lbs - the worst health of my life - major depression - constant panic attacks - my diet was so bad that my skin had revolted against me - so dangerously close to ending it all - dysphoria was eating me alive.

2026: 5’8” - 180lbs - lots of therapy - 28 months HRT - FFS - much healthier and happier - dysphoria still a struggle at times, but not kicking my ass anymore.

The first image was taken with the selfie lens and the current image was taken with the main lens, so the first image is admittedly a bit distorted compared to the one I took just yesterday. See my previous posts for a better direct comparison. I chose this pairing because of the similar head turn and pose.

Someone make me smile!

Over time, RBF has started to pop up more in photos. I have always been self conscious about smiling, but recognizing that it might be dysphoria as I see too much of the old me. Regardless, I’m not liking it 😠.

Muito confuse 😞

Hoje eu tenho 30 anos e tem bastante tempo que eu pratico crossdresser, de uns tempos pra cá venho muito confuso quando minha sexualidade, venho tendo muitos pensamentos, curiosidades, desejos e indecisões a respeito do tema transição de gênero. Não sei se genuinamente quero transicionar, mas não tenho certeza se quero permanecer me portando como um homem cis na minha vida social. Enfim, são muitos medos e muitas camadas, eu amo muito meu lado feminino e tenho muita vontade de continuar explorando, mas não tenho certeza se é só fetiche ou algo maior. Comecei um acompanhamento psicológico e venho me abrindo aos poucos, mas não tenho certeza de nada. É só um desabafo, obrigado por me dar esse espaço.

I really miss what my childhood could have been.

I know this is probably brought up a bunch in this sub so hopefully it’s ok for me to post about it.

Last week I ugly cried into Ingred (my squishmallow cow). As I lay in bed trying to fall asleep I went down a dark path thinking about what growing up as my true gender would have been. Going out shopping for cute clothes, getting cute outfits together for school, worrying about prom, the usually girly stuff, the biggest regret was probably not discovering how sapphic I was. instead I was the awkward “guy” in school who didn’t groom correctly, hated my ugly self, and felt like an outsider and weirdo because I didn’t like or was into guy things. I took solace in Magic The Gathering, DnD (for which I wanted to play as a female warlock, hehe guess now I know why lol), and my biggest escape: video games. I had a small group friends but still felt left out with them.

I have recently started reading Yuri manga and novels which really help counteract the negative feelings. I have a very vivid imagination and can get lost in the world of whatever I’m reading. I always get the warmest fuzzy feelings when the 2 love interest kiss or do something romantic.

Anyways just really wanted to get that off my chest since I have no one else to share it with. I’m not depressed about it just get really sad whenever I think too deep into it. Would love to hear similar experience you all had so I don’t feel so alone in this.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

A brief reprieve from dysphoria

I am 46, 6 years HRT, and recently it has felt like I haven't changed very much at all. I am on a 2 year wait for FFS, planned for late July 2027, and the wait is killing me.

But tonight I felt ok, so have a somewhat risque pic. Marked nsfw because cleavage I guess

Discussion about minoxidil and hair in general

Hi everyone!

First of all I want to thank you all for the incredible support I've received in my first post here. Y'all are amazing ❤️

Discussing hair preservation and healthy growing, some on you recommended minoxidil. I'll just say I don't know any hair products (beside shampoo duh) so I have no idea what to look for.

First of all is that the "go to" or is there something better? If so, I saw there is different percentages etc so yeah I might need a little guidance with that.

I had a buzzcut about two months ago so I have plenty of time before it grows but it does look thin when it's long.

Thanks all I hope you have a wonderful day ✨

I wish I was born a cis woman I don’t think I’ll ever pass

Every night as I go to bed, I just wish I was just to be able to wake up as a biological cis woman I know that can’t happen, but I wish it through every single night. I wish people saw me that way I wish I could live my truth, but I’m scared. I know I can’t hide forever. I just wish it was easier Dawn 32 mtf

39 and unsure

I'm 39 and will be 40 in January. Recently I have been very strongly feeling my feminine side ( identified male all my life) and have been remembering thoughts of wanting to be a girl when I was young. I'm struggling with that being my honest self or if it's a midlife crisis situation. I'm also scared that I've missed out on the best of lIfe if I do decide to transition. I haven't spoken to anyone in my personal life about this. If you have any insight I would appreciate it.

I made to this point now what?

It took a lot of courage to post my real face here, be kind?

It's FINALLY here my day 1! My new birthday is now and forever May 20, 2026. All that I have dreamed of and wished for as a child is finally happening for real. It was not easy and it definitely was not kind but I have overcome hell to be authentic to myself.

All the mushy stuff aside, I know the true tests are still ahead of me and there is only more hardship to deal with, freaking Florida resident here, but what else milestones and highlights do I have to look forward to from those of you that already have been in my heels?

New Haircut

Got my color job refreshed, and tried a shaggier cut that sort of dips a toe into bangs without actually committing to them. Maybe one of these days I'll go all the way into bangs, but I'm not sure my particular kind of curl pattern would go well with that.

On a side note, I've found myself wondering about FFS more. I find any kind of gender-affirming surgery really intimidating, but I'm also really self-conscious about my high hairline, prominent nose, and pronounced jawline. And the only thing I can really do about any of that is try a new haircut (like I just did) to hopefully flatter the hairline a little.

Question for the parents that transitioned.

Hey all! My daughter is trying to come up with something to call me besides dad? Her birth mom and her do not have a good relationship and I dont want to be apart of the bad feelings she has with her.

I just dont want to get clocked for this everytime. So, something neutral or feminine. I live in conservative florida and am just starting my journey on hrt. I dont dress fem but wear skinny jeans/ straight and pastel floral button up shirts. My hair is wear down and it goes to my butt. So I dont use fem pronouns or anything. My plan is to start in 6 months all depending on how i grow on hrt.

Just curious for some ideas or what yall did or tried! Thanks and I love yall! 🩵💖🤍💖🩵
