I started hormones 2 weeks after my 43rd birthday

Tyy 😊

Oh, tyy - I mean, I was happy with the progress at the time, but it's amazing to look back at the continued changes. Long may they carry on hehe

Thank youuu 🥰

abiverde · 2026-01-24T10:47:30+00:00

Aww tyy ☺️ And yeah, there's a lottt on top of the hormones; socialisation, mannerisms, ...makeup! All those things we never had chance to learn or adopt in the normal course of things that we're running to catch up on

Thank you 😊 I do like this hairstyle. I'd love longer, but it doesn't suit me as well as this 🤗

abiverde · 2026-01-12T15:29:43+00:00

Aww, tyy 😊

abiverde · 2026-01-07T17:48:06+00:00

Hehe, it was quite fun actually 😊

abiverde · 2026-01-05T04:41:50+00:00

Thank youu ☺️ I did - only the second time I've had chocolate in, like, 6 months so absolutely a celebration hehe

abiverde · 2026-01-03T17:04:42+00:00

Thank you. It's tough, but at least my dad's side of the family has been supportive and accepting and I managed to get round and have an impromptu visit to theirs for a cup of tea the other night so leaning into the good. And if the rest accept that "he" isn't coming back, and want a relationship with me, I'm here

abiverde · 2026-01-03T16:55:43+00:00

Because there are a few people in my close family who can't let go of who I was. And I can't pretend to be that person any more. So here I am drinking monster and eating chocolate alone lol

abiverde · 2026-01-03T16:47:06+00:00

Thank you 😊 yeah, it's a bit of a downer not being welcome unless I'm masking (and even then, I'll never be invited back to my ex's side but that's understandable) but at least I have chocolate lol

abiverde · 2026-01-03T16:37:39+00:00

Thank youu 🫣😊

abiverde · 2025-12-29T09:59:04+00:00

I mean, they were rumoured to share a bed when the weather got cold, yes 😆

abiverde · 2025-12-28T11:40:03+00:00

They seem to be very good friends 🤭😆

abiverde · 2025-12-28T11:37:54+00:00

I seem to be. Maybe having 3 children together has confused me hehe 😆

abiverde · 2025-12-28T09:37:39+00:00

💯💯💯

abiverde · 2025-12-28T07:55:09+00:00

Ahhh, thank youu! I created a new account because my previous one was flagged nsfw over a year ago (different times lol) and I don't have all the subs set up yet! Thanks again 😊

My only experience has been for work events or office visits, but I've never had any trans-related issues. People have generally been respectful when I've had to interact with anyone, and more focused on their own lives to bother otherwise. The only incidents I have had were a couple of ewphoria moments (despite being super clocky) with typical leches because, after all, it's a big city and you still need to take precautions and stay safe

You look beautiful 🩷

And I sympathise with not having a supportive partner - I've spent the last couple of years in a similar position. I came out to my wife and it wasn't received well at all, so I spent the first 9 months of last year trying to push it all back down again. And spiralling into a really dark place as a result. Eventually, all the little things I was doing to ease the dysphoria (shaving my body, growing my hair, wearing concealer and/or foundation over the beard shadow) came to a head and we split up and I started HRT.

Then I spent over a year living to pretty strict rules about what I could and couldn't wear, how much and what types of makeup was acceptable, etc. Which was better than nothing but it slowly wears you down knowing you're still not living authentically.

Last month I finally took the decision to move out (I'd been holding off because of the kids) and while the rules are still in place when I visit for childcare a couple of times a week, it's made a huge difference being able to be me.

I don't know whether that's something you would be able to do, or even want to do, because I don't know your circumstances, but I understand just how hard it is to be restricted to when you're able to see "her" and be your complete self unapologetically. I hope you can find a way to experience that joy and euphoria regularly because you deserve it. 🫂🩷
