After posting some selfies a few days back I got a lot of messages from people, just starting their own transition, saying that it really gave them hope.
It wasn't that long ago I was really despairing and looking for the same hope too.
So on the off chance this will help someone in that situation i'm posting this.
You can do it!

Hormones, a touch of make-up, and a change in clothes.
The beard didn't stop growing, but it slowed a bit after a while; laser hair removal is dealing with the rest. My voice has changed a little on it's own, but hormones don't really help with that, sadly. So it's been a lot of work with vocal coaches and stuff :)

One of my favourite musicians went through transition, and when she came back with her new voice, at first I thought she was his little sister. And that's done through coaching?
So, can you still do your old voice then? I'm imagining that might come in handy when you need to scare the crap out of someone.

If they were a singer beforehand they probably had a good head-start when it came to controlling their pitch. But there's a lot more nuance to it as well; lots of things to unlearn and lots of things to learn new.
I can do my old voice still, but it takes a lot of concentration at this point and really doesn't feel good to do. like a bad acting roll that's hard to shake.

I want to say I have hope, but I don't know? I've gotten my therapist letter months ago, but I still haven't gone through with it. Not because I'm hesitant, not one bit, but because I've gone to this one place 2 or 3 times and got turned down. The first time being because they needed a doctor to make me an appointment. My second attempt was to ask if my letter would work, but they told me the same thing, so I eventually succeeded in getting a doctor, who willingly said they would make an appointment for me. They tried, but it apparently turns out they needed my therapist to make the appointment instead?? Okay, well, I got that done, and my therapist contacted me letting me know they would call me. They never did, so I just gave up on them. The doctors, I mean.
I could've just sucked it up and called, or gone into check their whereabouts, but this is where my social and phone anxiety gets in the way. I could've taken care of this weeks after the therapist made the phone call, but I never did for fear of being turned down again and my anxiety like I said. In the end, I have only myself to blame to be quite frank.
Still though, you're looking very good, and I'm happy you've made it so far in your transition. I'm still hoping the same for myself despite my negativity about it, but given that this happened almost a year ago, welp!

Hang in there. The amount of gate-keeping people have to go through is ridiculous. There are other routes and places that can help speed things along, but they tend to be relatively expensive, which is a problem in itself.
Hang in there, and keep on pushing through the bullshit :)

honestly, I didn't think I could even hope for my transition to go as well as it has so far. It's really easy to get disheartened early on when there's so many people transitioning in their teens and 20's agonising that they've "left it too late". turns out they don't know what they're talking about! XD
