Heavily anonymized for privacy's sake, but the reception was very good! I'd have DM'd you a slightly less anon version, but DMs don't support images as best I can tell.

Seeing this is getting me out of the house to run before 9am. I knew this summer would be harder than past seasons running on T, I just didn't expect "summer" to start on 5/21.

We can also take it off bsky if you want to chat about it or sort it outside of public eyes.
Just a thing I saw through mutuals and was like, "oh hey I know the creator."
I saw this going around earlier this morning, and somehow it triggered and unlocked a core memory of playing a ton of Soul Calibur 20 years ago.
Isabella "Ivy" Valentine. Kind of forgot that she's a huge reason why I love this name.
“But what if it’s too late for me to transition?”
I identified as NB in 2021, started HRT in 2022 at age 40. I’m happier with my body after 21 months than I ever was pre-transition. Folks told me I was sexy, now I actually *feel* it.
It is NEVER too late. Never.
"But what if it's too late for me to transition?"
I transitioned in 2020, starting HRT at 35. Two days ago, one of the real-world women--who I met once, ever--and who helped inspire the body I dreamed of having told me she thought I was beautiful.
It's *never* too late. Never.
Multiple sources suggest that your dose is too low! 0.1 twice a week is the “starting dose” and it can/should go up. Are they testing your E levels too?
I started on sublingual and have spare pills if you want or need.

Are you on an AA, or just relying on E to suppress T? I started off trying only E, but ended up starting spiro when my T went up.
As far as I understand it, a relatively high dose of E is needed to suppress T, and most docs under-dose us. 🥴
Jeans -> leggings
Hoodies -> cardigans
T-shirts -> crop tops, women’s tees
This was me a year ago, and now I even have tits!
I also love wearing dresses sometimes, but this is my new hoodie and jeans. (I still have a bunch of hoodies though)
Forgot to post this a month ago. It cannot be emphasized enough how much clothing, grooming, and styling impacts how people see you. We see a ton of trans before-and-after, but this is same person, same day.
Hormones are incredible, but get an outfit, style your hair. It does so much.
