December 2018 - Transgender Transition Update

So the title of my last post was "A New World"... but after a brief moment of optimism, I'm back to reality. I still face harassment on a daily basis at work and then I have to come home to more issues than I've NEVER faced before... so I'll focus on the only thing that's keeping me going right now... my transition progress.

I've been back on been HRT for about 8 months now and am finally seeing some MAJOR changes.

The boobs are now boobs and there's no hiding them now. The uncomfortable stares from those who know me (but don't really know me) are annoying but worth it. At least now they shouldn't be shocked when I finally tell them that I'm transgender!
I love looking down to actually see cleavage... and the feeling of them pressing against my clothes throughout the day.
Oh... the clothes... The clothes I wore to conceal them before now enhance them... I could buy something different, but fuck it! I'm embracing the fact that I look more feminine now. It causes me more grief, but I think that being true to who I am is more important than how uncomfortable shallow bigots may become.

Recently, my arms have also become more feminine too. Although I LOVE the look and the sensitive, tingly feeling, I'm noticing a HUGE difference in my physical strength. I now find it's much harder to lift heavy objects than before... which is a real bummer.

The facial laser therapy is going pretty good as well. I no longer need to shave every day or wear concealer under my makeup to cover my "Italian razor stubble". (The pic on the right is a close up of me wearing only a light foundation). The downside is, when I do shave, it hurts like hell now... and if I don't shave, the stubble looks VERY inconsistent (the laser does not uniformly remove hairs so some areas are darker than others now).

That's all for now... I've gotta catch some Zzz's!

Be you, Be happy.
