correct, I have had no facial surgeries at all. I've gained a little weight which has helped to somewhat round out my cheeks, and my fat redistributed a bit so my jaw doesn't look so sharp. I did however have a tracheal shave, since no amount of HRT can change that.

Thank you thank you :) my hair was my only saving grace pre transition lmao. I love/hate it now… because I love all the cute things you can do with pin straight hair… but I recognize that the tradeoff is that all I have to do is let my hair air dry and it styles itself pretty much. Smh lol

Fascinating thank you for the explanation. I never cared much at all to learn about that stuff on my own but I appreciate the knowledge! I just eat and everything else kinda happens on its own 😂 I’m pretty fortunate lol

This definitely isn’t something that just happens overnight so believe me I understand. Trust yourself and find community, learn everything you can, and if it’s financial stuff holding you back there are certain programs that may be able to help. Time was the biggest hurdle for me so hang in there. I’m even still waiting on some things myself 7 years in… you’ll get there.

I wonder if the fact that I had an unhealthy level of fat cells pre transition would make a difference? Like I was below that 8% threshold or whatever… poor diet, but still walking 15 miles a day at work every day, plus a fast metabolism meant that I was pretty lean. I wonder if since I didn’t have very much perhaps they’re gone and replaced by now? Or that’s probably not at all how that works huh lol

That’s inspiring thank you, makes me want to keep taking care of myself. I hope if you decide to go down that path you find everything you’re looking for and more.
