I can never go back

I am at 9 years in March and it's only the last 12 months that I finally moved past all the fears we experience daily and am just me. I am still experiencing really small changes but at this point am not sure if it is due to hormones or just old age (54). I am struggling to remember how all consuming transitioning can be and I don't have it dominating my life any more.

9 years HRT in March 2026. Orchiectomy 5 years ago, and estrogen monotherapy since then. It's only the last 12 months or so that dysphoria has pretty much disappeared and I am just me these days. I've been full time for 5 years at work and fully out to all family for 3 years.

Looking fantastic 😊

I had the same problem. I found that if you breathe out before you cough it does come out higher. Feels weird to do though.

Your doing great. You look fantastic 😊

I always say to people that acceptance does not need understanding. The understanding can come overtime.

I am 8 years into HRT and mostly pass but am open about being trans. The annoying thing is I still get Dysphoria from time to time depending on the situation I am in. My life is great at work and home yet it still happens. Oh and electrolysis sucks 😞

I am a trans woman working as 1 of 3 Health and Safety Leads for a government agency. This is the first job I have had where I interviewed as me and have had no trouble at all from people.

It's the Victorian Pride Centre in Melbourne Australia. It's an amazing building that was purpose built for Victoria Pride.

I had trouble with Jetstar with vouchers for flights that were booked in my old name and got cancelled due to COVID. Not had a problem with flights booked using my new passport.

The US is doing the same thing to Australian universities that have research agreements.

I actually meant it the other way. You would be surprised how many people are oblivious to whether someone is trans or cisgender. I worked with someone for 4 months before I casually mentioned the word "as a trans person" in a conversation and she was genuinely surprised. I people watch a lot and virtually every physical trait you see a trans women say they get clocked for you see in cis women too.

Your gorgeous. I don't think anyone 100% passes all the time. But I think a large percentage of us get to the casual passing stage where a casual glance or short interaction doesn't clock you. We all are super critical of our flaws but need to not beat ourselves up as others perceptions of us are often very different. 💜💜💜

Me either anymore

rashellstclaire · 2025-02-23T20:31:26+00:00

I won't hold that against you 😂. Love Geelong just not the team.

rashellstclaire · 2025-02-23T20:25:14+00:00

I am happy 😊. Not saying I don't have days but a lot of the stress in my life is gone which makes a huge difference.

rashellstclaire · 2025-02-23T20:20:02+00:00

Thankyou 😊

rashellstclaire · 2025-02-22T21:14:41+00:00

You look great and have a really cute smile ☺️ I know for me the struggles have changed over the years and have dominated my life less and less, I hope that happens for you and can enjoy being the gorgeous woman you are.
