More from Hex Darkwood
So I posted this up on Fb the other day and figured I'd share here as well.
The one on the left is me 1 month into HRT(hormone replacement therapy)
and the one on the right is me at 9 months in.
I'm pretty darn happy with where this has taken me and how much it's helped me. It's really fun and neat seeing the changes just this much in 9 months.
So yup. It's 8am and I haven't slept yet >> Thanks insomnia. <3
As always, if you can't say anything nice, don't comment. All snide remarks will be hidden.

You should be incredibly happy! :D
It's absolutely incredible how much of a change there is in just 9 months and you can really see all of the subtle changes in your face, from the brow's to the way it's changed your completion. It's amazing how much medicine and science has come that people can really benefit form this sort of thing.
really happy for you that this is going so well!

You were good looking before, and good looking now. I think it's pretty damn cool actually how you still look like you but like you were born as a different gender entirely. It's pretty cool what hormones do. Hope you're feeling a bit better and that your hormones start balancing so you're all good with no bad. P.S Curious, have you noticed any musculature/fat placement differences? I know with ladies that were born dudes, after about 5 months the fat placement in their body seems to shift. :O
I have noticed. First 3 months my muscles expanded and with that my shoulders did too.
Than about 5 to 6 months in I started to notice my waist/saddlebags and butt slim down and shift. My belly fat is a bit more prominent along with my thighs and lovehandle area.
I've also noticed a shift in fat via my face and arms. My skin seems thinner in certain places now. I can see veins in my hands and arms that were not visible before hand that actually stick out.
I'm sure once I start loosing weight as well(more than I already have) that'll I'll keep noticing more as time goes on.
And it's funny you mention that gender switch. Friend of mine said it's like seeing if I had a brother instead. Though now my actual brother and I don't look as close as before since my face shifted lol

That's pretty cool then! I know that I used to think that men and women had entirely different bone structure, but it's kinda crazy how hormones can shift a person's entire body around. That's odd that you don't look as much like your actual brother though. :o But at the same time, not too surprising, because depending on how his bone structure is. makes sense that it'd be a bitt different imo haha.
Yeah his face matched more closely to my female one lol
The only difference you get really with bone structure between the genders is men's cheek bones/jaw bones are more prominent and hip/pelvic bone area is not as wide and turned up. So I will forever have the hips and that pubic bone bump down there unless i get that bone area surgically fixed and I could always get facial structure surgery but I see no point in that really. I'm not looking for the most epic male body rofl
Although on the other hand MtFs very regularly get facial reconstruction to try and slim down those bone structures to get softer features.

I know the feeling in a sense. I didn't know any trans what so ever that could help me earlier this year, still haven't clicked with too many at this moment that I can say are good friends so it's just me really but I reached out and found support groups in my area and that was so much fun. Actually going to a meeting this month to see the guys again(been a few months lapse)
And I also see my therapist when I need her as well and out reaching on groups on FB or livejournal ect have also helped.
I've got to talk to wonderful people, read their stories ect. Susans place is also a fantastic site as well to connect, find information ect. I highly recommend that one.

Every time I look at something like that I wanna crai because I've always felt like i'm stuck in a body that isn't mine. But i'm the sort of person who's too scared to take a drastic step to changing that. I have almost no family at all [just my mom and brother] and they are both extremely against anything that is not considered a 'norm'. I'm afraid to lose them to be honest if I do anything. Even just shortening my hair was quite a conflict but they let me be, so at least I could do this little.
Maybe one day I'll have the guts to actually make a change. Until then however, well, stuck being who I'm not T^T.

As with anything in life you'll reach that point where you have to choose the type of happiness you want. I was afraid, sobbing and shaking the night I came out to my husband. I was so afraid to loose my children, my husband that night. But I knew I couldn't take another day not doing something about it. That was my own choice and I'm happy that day I took that step for my life.
My family on the other hand, has been mixed. There is still family members who won't even speak or look at me anymore. Than there are some who love and embrace me. Some who want to try and co-exist. My parents find it hard some days, some they don't. Took a year for my dad to finally start using my preferred name. I think he finally saw he wasn't loosing me and in the end I was the same person he'd always known.
I know our lives are none alike and the fear of loosing those close to you or loosing support in something so very important to you is earth shattering. It's not an easy thing to do. I hope one day you can too take that step forward for yourself.
I don't regret a moment of following through with my transition. I finally reached that point where I was either going to continue to live on this earth happy with my self worth and image and finally let go of what others thought of me or end up in an early grave. I waited so many years before I even knew there was a name to what I was feeling for so very long. I wasn't going to let my life snuff out without at least trying I suppose.
I really do wish the best for you Khat. You've been nothing but kind to me and you deserve so much in this life. If you wanna talk, don't be afraid to PM me. I promise I won't bite and I'm a pretty good listener <3

I'm glad you did what you had to, truly. It's good to see people achieve a level of happiness so many others can't in their lives. I'm afraid, however, that I may not be the sort of person to do the same. I've never had any confidence in anything concerning myself. And the more I grew up and became an adult, built my own life and no living it, the more I lost confidence in anything I did or do.
I know what's stopping me, and I know how to change it, but alas, our lives revolve around finance, and I was born into a family that makes close to nothing, and ever since i was 13 I had to get by on my own mostly. So ... being where I am now, my better life is out of reach simply because I cannot find a window of opportunity to improve the only thing that needs to improve, and it is a means to exist in our shitty society hehe. And living in this county doesnt make it any easy... the government is doing a splendid job at leaching every single penny you earn for yourself.
But... I am making babysteps towards moving somewhere better. If life allows, it will change in two or so years. Fingers crossed hehe.

Hey baby steps are better than nothing at all. We all must understand our means and work with what we are given and what we have.
I know the struggle as well. While I got the first step in the door, I'm met with a brick wall I'm slowly banging at to get somewhere past the first part. Finance and lack of health coverage have kept me from moving anywhere forward. So I for sure understand that.
I'll cheer you on Khat <3 I have faith in you!
