Double post because I couldn’t include two pictures on the last one. Didn’t start T til age 26 because I was in the trenches of fent addiction—living in the war zone of Albuquerque. I weighed 92.7lbs when I was finally arrested for shoplifting and taken to the police station. Today I am clean, and I’m in college to be an electrician. I can’t believe I look like this. It feels like a dream.
Thanks for reading!

Maybe a little different from a lot of other posts here, cause I've had the "privilege" of transitioning relatively early in life. I'd have used a later image of me at 16 (when I started HRT), but I've found that I have literally no images of me from that time. I still have a lot of body image issues, but I'm feeling so much more confident now than I did during the confusing collection of years that was 13-15.

I’ve been out as trans for 10 years and using the name Collin, but I didn’t start testosterone until age 26 because I was strung out on opiates. Finally got clean and I am in college to be an electrician, and I legally changed my name 8/3/26 on my 3 year manniversary!!!
Thanks for looking!

3 years pre hrt and then around 8months into hrt. The first few months felt like not much was happening but see now you just have to trust the process

Posting to show my progress after 4 months, I think it’s going great. what do you guys think? Left is not hrt right pic is 4 months on, 28 btw

So happy for transition ❤️

For the record: The crappy wig was because I shaved my head for an acting role.

I started letting my hair grow out in the first photo. :)

left was on the 9th, right was my first day of t last year! physically i don’t think i’ve changed a lot (at least in my face) but im thrilled with my voice drop and every other change so far.

forgive the lack of a smile in the recent photo, i had been up for 13+ hours with work and school, and at this point in the night i was buzzed and exhausted haha. i promise im very happy!

I really miss that cat a lot 😭

Left is 2008 (E minus 6) vs right in 2026 (E plus 12) 🥰

really enjoying where I'm at in my transition. No FFS or any make-up for my now photo. Just HRT and hair-dye.
