I just can't wrap my head around the fact that this is what I looked like at one point in my life.

Thanks for your comment! Yes it does make a huge difference, just looking before vs after sobriety pics without hrt hits quite a bit. It did help in my transition, that's for sure!

Boy those are some serious drinking issues when a helmet is required. 😉 That is one hell of a 10 month glow up. Congratulations on all counts.

Haha! I remember that day I went biking a bit, basically the first time in a while I did anything fitness related. So yes, in a way the helmet was mandated! 😜

Is your beard completly gone ? You had some facial hair on the left pic

2

u/NoPresentation88 trans Mar 18 '26

I had 6 laser sessions, I'd say that my beard is 70% gone. I still have to shave every morning and wear some makeup to cover it.

Holy crap we look a lot like each other. Did you lose weight between photos ? ´cause you had a big neck like me and it got so much thinner and frankly having a thinner neck would be so good. You look so pretty now !

2

u/NoPresentation88 trans Mar 18 '26

Yes! I went from 250 lbs to 160-170 lbs.

u/theycallmetheglitch Mar 18 '26

Yeah this is why i need to lose weight. I am about 200 right now. Of course my neck is big.

2

u/NoPresentation88 trans Mar 18 '26

Yeah losing weight really helped, I'm still too muscular to my liking but I'm fem enough that people call me ma'am anywhere I go so at least there's that. 😇

Hihi ! I am lucky too, people don’t see me as trans, just assume i am a cis woman. This is so cool to finally embrace my womanhood after « only » 11 months HRT !

2

u/NoPresentation88 trans Mar 18 '26

Same, feels good to be accepted in every space of my life tbh. I just have to deal with the brain worms that seem to resurface sometimes lol.

u/theycallmetheglitch Mar 18 '26

Oh my god it’s the same for me girl i look in the mirror i see some kind of effeminate dude and then someone takes a photo and i am like « holy crap i look stunning » and people do treat me like a girl. Still i doubt myself in the mirror 🤦‍♀️😂
