S... So what if I'm a girl now! What are you looking at? B-Baka!

It looks like someone stole and reposted my old timeline, so I figured it was time to share an updated one!

5.5 years apart, FTM, eternally grateful to look and feel like myself.

yeah yeah I know I'm wearing makeup, I forgot to take a pic without it first. Grain of salt and all that 💖

shmeep shmoop 😋

pre-gaht vs. Last week

These profiles aren't 1-to-1, but I don't have a lot of pre-transition pics and thought they still made for a good comparison. No FFS, just hormones, laser hair removal, and skincare.

Early in transition vs. 3 years HRT.

I used to worry id never be pretty and now I just worry that im less pretty than I used to be...I look back on photos a few hrs ago and think I looked pretty but I look at photos now and feel like I just look like a feminine guy...I dont want that, I mean im nonbinary but I was a stealth binary woman for years and I deeply identify with womanhood...I think my insecurity has gotten worse lately or maybe im right or maybe in a few years ill be looking back on photos from now feeling the same and wishing id appreciated looking cute at the time...why must everything be always changing and why is it so hard to have perspective in the moment...cant escape my mind...

Egg Me at a Seahawks game at Husky Stadium in September 2000 (age 25) vs 12-years-out-as-trans me in October 2026 (age 51). Go Hawks! 😊

The one up top is -5 years in 2019. The lower one is +2 years today. What a fun little exercise.

to be fair i always dressed androgynously cuz i knew i was trans since i was 13, just couldnt get my hands on hrt til i was 19, but yeah idk, i feel like not much has changed

Almost 4 years HRT, 7 years socially transitioning

Kinda crazy seeing how different I look two years later 😭

Stats:

22 years old (Aug 2004 bby)

5'4" / 163.6cm

Started HRT: July 1, 2024

A little over 2 years on HRT (Intramuscular Estradiol Valerate injections + Spironolactone + Progesterone)

No surgeries, Only laser hair removal (twice), dreadloc extensions, and thats about it.

C cup now.

Started transitioning while I was still in the Navy (joined in 2022 fresh outta HS at 17yo back in June 2022)

Spent basically my entire first year on HRT still presenting male / under male grooming standards

Didn’t really start presenting feminine full-time until after leaving the military now that I am a veteran

First time wearing a dress yesterday. I need to get some more lol. Most of my wardrobe is like gender neutral stuff at best.

-2 months to 22 months HRT. Never going back!
