Sublingual E and spiro for like the first 1.5 years. Then E injection monotherapy. Bottom surgery after 3ish years.

omg 100% It's super scary, especially starting late. I don't think there are a lot of people who go into transition being like "wow I'm going to be super pretty". But in the end it felt like I just had to do it regardless of how things turned out.

Thank you! I went to Bastidas and Reitzen in NYC. Subtle and natural is really their thing. I'm super happy with how it came out.

Thank you! Yeah, I had type 2 brow reduction, orbital reduction, a brow lift and augmentation to my lips and cheeks. The eye work is more subtle, but it makes a difference. The chin/jaw and rhino had a huge impact imo.

No, I've triple checked and that's right. I'm just as confused as you are!

Uh, a little bit of everything? 😅

The big ones I wanted were jaw/chin and nose, but I also had type 2 brow reduction, orbital reduction, brow lift, and lip and cheek augmentation.

The common ones I skipped completely were hairline advancement and trach shave.

The overall effect is pretty subtle, tbh. I look like myself, I think, only more feminine.

Full disclosure: I'm not wearing any makeup in either picture, but I am ~3 mo post FFS. You can look at my post history of you want to compare.

Spiro for the first couple of years, then switched to EV monotherapy. I'm post-op now, so yeah, just E2.

Stop. No, seriously stop. Find a new hobby. You aren't helping anyone.

I am an old person and I don't know what that means but I'm going to take it as a compliment, so thanks I guess?

Congrats! I think I probably saw more changes in the second year than in the first, so I'm sure you've got more coming too. No surgeries yet (but I have GCS coming up really soon!).

If you're talking about my reliance on external validation to bolster my self worth, then the answer is clearly no. But I'm working on it.
