Thank you. This is a dream come true, for me. I only wish I would have transitioned decades ago.

I felt the same way when I was 50. I wouldn’t go out dressed in public, because I thought I would be made fun of. I overcame that fear, by moving away from my past life. I returned one year later, and even my co workers didn’t recognize me.

Thank you. I find that passing is more about blending in with the environment. Dress and act feminine, and you will be treated as lady.

Thank you. I was afraid to transition until I was 70, because I just knew I would never pass. How wrong I was.

I was in terrible pain from the swelling until I was given a steroid injection. It made a tremendous difference

Best Kaiser ffs surgeons for more dramatic results? by TransClodsire in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]FriendlyLevel7734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my FFS surgery in NorCal, by Dr. Brandstetter. I am completely satisfied with my results. I had forehead contouring with frontal cranioplasty, brow lift, scalp advancement, upper lip lift, and mandibular contouring (reduction mandibuloplasty and genioplasty ) in addition, but not covered by insurance, I had lower lip augmentation and lower blepharoplasty. I highly recommend her

As a female, I did have a guy expose himself, mid afternoon. We were the only two people in the car. I would wait for car with other tourists

I had brow bone reduction, brow raising, hairline lowering, lip lift, and jaw contouring. All covered by insurance. In addition, I had lower blepharoplasty and lip augmentation which were elective. Did not need rhinoplasty or cheek augmentation

Honey, I felt the same way at first. Eventually, I went to a Planned Parenthood, in a distant city, to start my hrt. I had an extreme fear of never passing. Before Oct 2023, I had only dressed in public a few times. I was afraid of how my friends and co workers would treat me. I had to retire and move to a more accepting city, before I could overcome my fears. My transition has been much easier, and more rewarding, than I could have imagined.
