Left is my 31st birthday, -22 months HRT, flew a Cessna around and then doublefisted some margaritas. Ask me what happened to my fingers, I dare you! (I have pictures...)
Right is when we saw Orville Peck, 5 days before my 2 year HRT anniversary.

It was such a great resource when I started transitioning. For a year or so I felt like giving up all the time because there was no way I was going to like how I looked, but seeing all the before and after pictures gave me the hope to see the damn thing through. I'm glad I did!
Exactly my same experience with that subreddit! Helped me realise that transitioning is what I want and it’s not too late for me yet. Truly inspirational.
Maybe I won’t look as “fem” or “pretty” as some, but the happiness I saw on post transition pics changed something in me
It was horrible for me, constantly second guessing my transition after seeing those beautiful girls after 16 months or whatever. I'm a bit past 3.5 years now and still look like trash. Never got the good ED that the other girls had and swung the other way with compulsive eating. There's a reason why you never see the fat MTFs anywhere
