I saw this post on top6h without seeing what sublemmy it was on and I thought it was about how you just started investing in good haircuts. Didn't even cross my mind about mtf. You a cutie

Same. Spent a good minute looking at the pics trying to figure out what she's trying to show before reading the title and sub name.

Congratulations on a successful transition :)

amazing, but this feels like one of those "woman to woman" transitions XD

How do you feel over time, and any advice or words of wisdom to share wth baby trans girls?

The top left pic was six months into social transition and three months on HRT already. I have a much more radically different before pic somewhere, but I more wanted to highlight the difference between years 1,2,3, and 4 on HRT and letting my hair grow.

My main advice for new trans folks is this:

  1. The hormones will not do everything. You gotta put effort into your wardrobe, your movements, your voice, your accessories, the ways that you sit, eat, etc. My whole life I was putting effort into stopping myself from being too femme because I was being made fun of. I trained myself out of a lot of those natural-feeling movements and had to retrain myself.

  2. be healthy! You're in the right gender now, so take care of yourself! Eat right, brush your teeth, use good shampoo, clean your house and your bedding. These things will make your skin clearer and generally help you feel overall happier. This, too, is part of transition

  3. be patient! And be kind to yourself. The changes will not happen instantaneously and there will be days when all you can see is your old self. Learn to forgive yourself for this.

  4. get therapy. Helps with point 3 and 2. And there's usually some other stuff going on behind the scenes mentally. Transition will not solve all your problems, but I can make your problems feel worth solving.

Good luck! You got this! 💪

I mog you but no pictures at this time. I am a celebrity and can’t show my face and link it to some troll forum account for obvious reasons

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You should also switch to another instance if you're still on lemm.ee, since it's shutting down

[–] Googledotcom@lemm.ee -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I am gonna still use it though. Admins in their niceness made an exception just for me for a small sum of one grand per month

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What, actually? You're paying them 1000 currency per month just to keep the sever up for you? What? That doesn't make sense

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Troll account.

[–] Googledotcom@lemm.ee -1 points 2 weeks ago

I pay them 1000 kg of dog meat a month for this privilege
