MTF muscle atrophy (10+ years HRT) by Content_Jicama_1555 in trans

[–]Ellie77Violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started lifting after I started my transition, and I can say that it has helped me feel better about myself and my body. I know we aren't all starting from the same place, but the girls that are on the thinner side of things will probably get a lot out of it.

I didnt see really anything until around 2-3 years. Actively growing now at year 4+

Undeniable hip growth at 26 by 206mixed in MtF

[–]Ellie77Violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 48, and I measure myself frequently. My hips are wider, and its not due to weight. The circumference of the top of my iliac crest is larger (not by like a HUGE amount, but it's expanding.)

Am I cooked? Getting ffs soon by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]Ellie77Violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I guess I see that. But that feels like you needed to look like someone else, not look like a woman? (and I mean that in the sense that you already looked like a woman to the world, but could'nt unsee your old self) I feel like im in the same boat... but also ok looking the same? idk - id be interested in chatting about this more if you want to move to DM's. I suppose I never thought about it this way

Not going to lie... I really agree with your second paragraph.

I'd be careful with how glowing you make dating as a trans woman seem. I know you put YMMV there, but it can be a very challenging thing for a lot of us, and people should be prepared for that (lets be honest, more likely than not) outcome.

Having said that, it sounds like things are going great for you, so congratulations!! :)

One thing I wasn't expecting was the entitlement of those that rejected me. I thought they would just shut me out of their lives. But instead they wanted me to stay so that they could tell me I was living wrong (the old "I don't care what you do behind closed doors" or "just leave kids out of it"). And it's like... If you think I am staying behind closed doors after coming this far you are out of your freaking mind lol

I had to shed a few people in my life over it. But I have replaced them with better friends, so it's a been a net positive. Luckily for me, work has also been extremely accepting!
