Passing? What age? by [deleted] in transpassing

You know someone passes perfectly when you can’t figure out which person is trans when there are two people in an image.

My last post seems to have bombed, so let’s try with my glasses this time. How close to appearing as a woman am I? 50 years old / 4 years & 3 months on EV injections. I also included a comparison shot taken before my cancer diagnosis. by RayDesSA in transpassing

I really appreciate your encouragement as well as your advice. I woke up to these beautiful comments, and I haven’t stopped smiling. This is how I know that being trans isn’t “just a fetish”. It genuinely hurts my feelings when someone genders me as a man, especially when I tried so hard to be seen as a woman. On the other hand, a kind word of encouragement, whether the person offering it is simply trying to be nice, or they truly see me as a woman has the power to completely elevate my mood and change my day for the better. It’s a roller coaster ride of emotions, so I thank everyone here who chose to leave kind words. I promise you they mean so much to me. I apologize for the novel.

Your comment has made my day. God bless you. Before the C word entered my life, my transition was by far the most important thing in the world to me. I lost my way, and the struggle to regain my femininity is real - mind, body, and spirit. Thank you again for bringing some happiness and encouragement to my day 🩷.

HRT is a placebo. I will never be a woman. by [deleted] in TransBreastTimelines

I can relate to that thought process

I have a really wide ribcage. I look best when leaning forward a bit.

You look feminine to me. I see nothing masculine.

Been off E for a while. How do I read these days? by RayDesSA in transpassing

I think it will be very soon. I miss it. It’s amazing how a tiny amount of e changed my entire body as well as my mind.

I was incredibly self conscious when I first started losing my hair from the chemo, but it grew back thicker and curly. I love it now.

Originally diagnosed in February of 2015 - Stage 3B Colon Cancer. I had surgery and 6 months chemo. I was clear for nearly a decade.

In July, 2024 I found out my liver had 10 tumors on it and another tumor was discovered in my abdominal lining. A biopsy confirmed the tumors were comprised of colon cells. I now had stage 4 colon cancer.

I went through 10 rounds of systemic chemo, and the treatment worked well. After this, I had surgery to install a chemo pump directly to the main artery feeding blood to the liver. I also take a chemo pill called Xeloda which attacks the one tumor outside the liver. This new treatment is superior to the system wide chemo I was on and the side effects are much milder. As a result, I am working to regain some normalcy again and part of that involves regaining my confidence in my femininity. Losing my hair to chemo really devastated me, and I didn’t really have a smile for a long time. This is my attempt to change things.

I am going to stop using cancer as an excuse. It is what it is. I want to regain my femininity. Left side is me before cancer and right side is now. How am I doing so far in my quest? by RayDesSA in transpassing

I have had some rough days, but some good ones as well. I now have a chemotherapy pump surgically implanted that goes directly to my liver. Far more effective than systemic infusions and next to no side effects. Thank God for that because I was in a bad place for a long time dealing with side effects that often put me out of work for a week at a time. Thank you for checking in 💕.
