Major Changes have occurred...

Hey all.
It's been quite some time since I posted here in FA, hasn't it?
That's because I have been going through a very... VERY important process... one that left me too distracted and stressed to worry about regularly posting work.
So... What is this dramatic change that has ripped through my life like a storm?
It's my Gender. > u <
Indeed, I have been undergoing gender transition, from male to female, and have been dedicating my time to making sure that is done right, before worrying about my little artwork Hobby.
The fact of the matter is, My fursona and transformational preferences finally tipped me off after god knows how long...
Graceful, streamlined creatures... elegant, laid back, playful... feminine...
I began to realise that almost all the qualities I desire in an anthropomorphic form are, in fact, feminine qualities that I myself longed to have.
I had no opportunities in the past to even THINK about changing my gender, the places and scenareos I have been in necessitating survival over idealism and quality of life.
Well, when we Moved here to Madison, Wisconsin, we discovered we were in an area filled with transgender specialists...
My roommate had known for quite some time that she was female-oriented, and picked up on it all right away...
It wasn't until I was watching her put on her hormones, that I felt pangs of jealousy...
Holy Shit.
Jea...
Why would I be Jealous...??
Oh.......
And so I began to pursue it in tandem myself.
Well... It's been about a year in the transition process, and... I couldn't be happier with the results, all things considered.
I have always had some feminine physical qualities... Slender hands, no adams apple, feminine voice, and very little body hair...
Heck, they might have been physical clues at my true gender orientation, for all I know...
These already-feminine qualities, mixed with the shape-shifting that HRT allows (Hormone Replacement Treatment), as ensured that I...
Actually blended in as female, almost instantaneously...!
While in the hospital, due to a crohns disease flareup, I had several individuals that were confused, angry, or bemused by the fact that some random Woman was laying in the hospital bed Assigned to David Moore...
When corrected, they all seemed... actually quite shocked, followed by curious, and soon, cheerful, as my happier, more confident disposition earned me their trust...
I believe I have made a positive impact, thus far.
And that's all I could hope for...
I Don't want to be unique...
Gods, to blend into the female population until I am boring would be a dream come true... >u <
I feel calmer, happier... more fulfilled now.
It's one of the best decisions in my life... And frankly, one of my greatest regrets, Is that I couldn't pursue this course sooner, which would have allowed me to be younger, and thus transition more smoothly on a physical level.
By the way, Seacigar still works just fine as an artist Call-handle, but for those curious, my new Name is Elizabeth Moore...
My friends have called me Birdie for so long, due to my animal preferences, that when I found out "Birdie" was a nickname for Elizabeth, I had to adopt it.
That, and it's a pretty, yet unassuming name. I don't want to be fabulous... But being pretty would be nice...<3

Thanks snakey.. :D
I hope things are going well for you as well!
And...
Bless you and Kirisha both for ALWAYS having a kind word for me, even though I can vanish for months at a time. I feel blessed to know I can get attention from such kind folks. :)
For a moment there, it sounded like you were somehow pairing Kirisha and I up as if she and I somehow are always doing something together or hanging around together.. but then I realized, haha, she simply had the comment below mine. :}===<
More than just being obsessed about large tits or something, its an established fact that, because male ribcages are broader than a woman's, that their breasts will look smaller by comparison, as all that mass is evenly distributed on the somewhat larger body.
Basically, enough development to mitigate that disadvantage would be *perfect*! nu n
Hope things are going well for you too, Mistress...
I might not be your pet these days... but I still retain the respect. ou o
Also noticed your above reply, my said friend has found a way to enhance bust sizes, though it's not fast
I wish your friend tons of luck, fellow flurgon (fluff dragon)...
Texas is NOT an easy place for a trangendered individual.
As for resources, I am not quite sure what you mean.: as in, what research did I do to confirm that progesterone, estrogen, and spirolactone are an ideal HRT mix?
Or did you mean you wanted the contact name of the doctors I am using? o. o
We have a strong LGBT community here, that meets on weekends. I will try to get some solid information then.
It might be a little tricky, though? Because we lost two vehicles in four days. September was a LOOOONG month. XP
But yar, I will keep my ears up and open. :)
I never discount any well-wishing I get, so I truly do appreciate you taking the time to congratulate me. :)
*sigh*
Thanks, Coal. I mean it. <3
I am hoping, that with my transition, it will mark a new, better overall life for me.
I am a little bummed that I had to use up most of my youth before I could start to enjoy life with a lot less grief... But I am still grateful that the torturous bits are finally over.
So...! Here's to a new form, and a new life! :D
*hugs*
Sorry this is so very belated in response. Truly, sometimes comments slip through the cracks, even though I always try to respond to comments. After all, yall can easily just like and move on, without a drop of effort on your part... ;3 That little extra burst of effort is actually *quite* appreciated.
Just so you know... The transition process has gone wonderfully. I think I am pretty much as developed as I am going to get, at least via Hormones, but I continue to learn new ways to dress and generally personalize my existence as a woman. I surprisingly have had no flak *still* from *anyone* about this... It feels so unreal, given how much persecution I've recieved in the past! But... At the same time... it really lets me know I made the right decision.
It's been FAR too long... but at the same time, gods, I just feel so swamped keeping up with folks lately...!
That said... My new Telegram contact is lizziebird , If you are curious, and wish to reconnect. I certainly have a number of things I could prattle about to you since last time!
Oh, and by the way~ On my old, messed up telegram account... if I don't talk to someone after a given period of time, it soft-locks me from contacting them. That's part of why I haven't responded recently, as well.
Whatever you do, I hope life has been treating you well... It's been... treating me a lot better, lately... ~u ~
I didn't expect to get later comments on this, so now I get to come back and re-respond to them!
What prompted you to leave a mark of favor? :)
Either way, It was kind of you to do so. Thank you! :D
Well... I'm really, *Really* glad that my art manages to convey some of that longing and feminine nature that I've had for such a long time. Thank so much for your support! I hope things go well for you on your own journeys... Uu U
