so for background around february? maybe march? one of those two in 2023 we figured out dressing like a girl was pretty fun, and took on the femboy identity.
some months later we thought, "being referred to as a girl feels nice, but i'm not sure if that's entirely applicable", thus leading to at some point a bigender identity and at some point pangender. perhaps late 2023 or early 2024 we shuttered having any male identity at all.
but that aside, pictures!

this is the first photo we really have. we don't have any prior to this on hand. it was taken after being discharged from a hospital! our acne was awful at the time (and up until starting HRT) so we wore face masks so much.

wait... hold on... filenames checking in.

okay, this is the first photo! apparently the timestamps in our photo folders are a little messed up for the older files.
here we are looking like a femboy ISIS member.

this is our first selfie we took just cuz we felt like it. if we remember right we were about to take a photo of something before moving it with the forklift. we had discovered that hats covered our bushy eyebrows very nicely.

bangs!

27 April 2025
longer bangs! and going out in a very feminine fit for the first time. after getting bangs we started to take a TON more photos compared to before.

16 November 2025
some months earlier we stopped wearing a mask for we had acquired medication for acne.
water has always been the enemy of our bangs. as it is, we don't look young, but we ascended into retiree status with this photo lol (although if it weren't for the eyebrows we wouldn't mind)
the bushy eyebrows are very apparent. a transfemme friend did recommend a place to get them done for a reasonable price but we still haven't gone yet to this very day xD

we've been on hormone therapy for around two or so months and this bra was already full heheh (even with it being a lower than ideal dose). our genetics may give rise to lots of horrible stuff, but at least we'll have big boobs!

+) it is at around this point we began posting to lemmy! (+
thus, you can sift through our oldest posts and check stuff out if you want any further ideas.
of note is this photo though (22 February 2026):

it's the first selfie we ever posted. it's also one of very few selfies we have taken with hair that loose. we HATE how our loose hair looks, and honestly those photos alone are making us consider either cutting it shorter, straightening it, and/or dyeing it....
wait WAIT VERY IMPORTANT INTERJECTION we just remembered this test photo on this digital camera.

from this perspective our loose hair looks... okay? THAT MEANS WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK :D this just made us so giddy rn omgomg yalsidfhuwieahflaljnvd
thnx y'all <3
