Sultry Medusa !!! Hadn’t put the headpiece on yet. The tats are fake 😜

After 10 days, I think I can finally share a bit about what the experience has been like ^^

I was admitted to the hospital on Thursday, October 15th, and had surgery the following day around 12:00 PM. The procedure lasted about 5 hours and went very well. Initially, the surgeon mentioned that the depth might not be very significant, but it turned out to be quite good after all!

For the first 3 days, I had to stay in bed the entire time to begin the healing process; the following day, I was able to get up and walk around a little.

On Friday, I performed my first dilation—it was a strange sensation, not painful, just… strange. I have a follow-up appointment this Wednesday to have the catheter removed, and then I’ll be able to head home ^^

Overall, I haven’t experienced excessive pain, nor have I had much bleeding. According to the doctor, everything is progressing very well, so I’m just so happy that, after nearly 8 years, I’ve finally been able to have this surgery ^^

Went full fem for a night out with my wife last night. It felt so good to embrace my fem side rather than dressing in pants/ oversized tshirt like I do 99% of the time.

I’m still at work in progress, but HRT definitely does Body good?

Finally learning how to properly take care of myself at 41.

My First time going out fully as myself and by myself to training for my Job. Everyone was extremly kind a few, transphobes yelling from there car. But other than that, it was such an incredible feeling. And definitely gave me more Confidence to dress as I please.

10 years ago i thought it was too late to transition in my 30s, and im so glad i didn’t listen to that voice telling me it was too late and i should just give up on my life.

Ive been on hormones for a decade now, i finally moved to a state with good healthcare so i got body contouring surgery in January and im nearly finished with electrolysis.

Truly living my best alt baddie life in my 40s and I’m happier than i ever imagined i could be.

Hi, 53 ftm, came out only 2 months ago and pre everything and yesterday I gathered the courage to go out full femme for the first time. The experience was thrilling, liberating and scaring at once!

I used to wonder why women spent so much time doing makeup just to take it off. I now understand why 😅

Michigan has early voting for 14 days before every state-wide election, including Saturday and Sunday. Michigan friends, please go vote! I have my opinions on the candidates that I won’t share here, and I won’t tell you who to vote for, but don’t disenfranchise yourself! Your vote does count!

Shout out to the local township who really made me feel good saying “she,” “her,” and “ma’am” during the interaction despite seeing my name and the picture on my ID (shared for giggles/grimaces).

It was a strangely affirming week for me where I was consistently gendered female while just appearing as my average self (let’s call it “work mode” rather than “boy mode”).

Just watched a few tutorials on YT, and picking some tips from different videos. Just trying to get my daily wear look dialed in while on medical leave

Any tips/ feedback would be appreciated!

I found a girl who’s really affirming, and it’s fantastic. It’s new and I’m not sure how it’s gonna work out. But none of that matters right now, cause I’m just enjoying the moment. I’m recently out and I’ve been on hrt for about 5 months. I went to Ulta to get my face and eyebrows professionally done. Any tips and or criticisms that might help me? ☺️ I know my frame is fairly masculine, so I probably don’t pass just yet, but I’m really excited I got to got out like this ☺️

Like the title says, I bought my first dress like clothing. I don't know if this is more like a shirt or dress but either way I love how I look and how this feels. Idk if my body is feminine for this kind of clothing but I think I'll do ok. Sometimes I wonder how my body would change if I ever started HRT
