Me during the last 9 months: Questioning and doubting about being cis or trans looking for the slightest "inconsistency" In my narrative to dismiss the possibility of being trans and trying to rationalize it as something else entirely.

Also me during the same time period: reading obsessively papers and studies about HRT, watching videos of trans people talking about their journey feeling butterflies in my stomach and having a huge smile, creating and organizing boards on Pinterest of outfits and styles I would definitely wear if I was a woman and dissociating in every chance possible to escape to that alternative life in which I am named Lauren and choose genetics instead of engineering and also sometimes plays bass in a jazz-fusion underground band for some reason.

Crazy timing because I officially started T blockers and estrogen today!! It’s been a long time coming for me so I’m excited to finally get started. I discovered you this past week or so and your videos have been extremely helpful as well as validating. Hope you keep making content, but regardless thank you for being even just a teeny tiny part of my journey so far:) Excited to see what the future brings

Been on patches for 15 months and I couldn’t be more happy with the changes

Has a possible trans personne, I really enjoy seeing others feeling better .

Ahhh you sound so happy 🥺🫶🫶🫶

As someone who probably won't be able to start HRT in the next 4-5 years (family & country complications), I'm happy for you and sad for me at the same time
This severe GD killing me tbh, I'm completely dysfunctional at this point
Hope y'all get the best results 💕

My facial hair thinned out too.

I never had enough for a full beard.  Just a patchy vandyke.

It's even less dense now.  Which is really sweet.

My dad used to torture me by pointing out every new facial hair and every slight voice change.  ...then I went out in the world, and passed for a girl without trying, even when I spoke.  Long before I ever transitioned or got on HRT

Damn you look amazing! 8 years hrt has done nothing for me sadly so it’s pursuing surgery I guess.

Great video!! I've honestly been considering wanting to become transgender myself (mtf), especially after looking back at my life and realizing maybe I want to be a woman, or at least in a very feminine form. I'm a little hesitant to be taking estrogen and stuff, but screw it, I'm not going to live forever, so might as well live being my true self :]

I'm about 3 months into hrt myself, currently on a weekly 0.3ml estradiol injection that'll be increased soon and daily spiro pills (forgot the exact dose lol but it was recently doubled).
so far I've only experienced a little chest growth and found myself more in tune with my emotions (listening to a song and tearing up at it was a whole new experience for me); seeing you so happy and enthusiastic makes me excited for the future, which is something I can't say very often, so thank you for sharing ^^

The emotion part really hit me, i hate that i dont have those strong emotions i had when i was a kid. I've been struggling recently with identity so i started to watch videos like yours. I still am unsure but i know how many things i dont like about myself and i wonder if i should even go through with this. Next week ill be talking to an expert about it to learn more ig. Also, you sound really happy!

Bicalutamide is the GOAT t blocker. All the other ones have at least some unwanted side effects (especially spiro) but I’ve had zero negative effects with bica.

youre so beautiful 🥹 im not trans and i dont know why youtube recommended your channel to me, but your positive energy is so infectious, i had to subscribe. youre like a ray of sunshine 💛 and youre very beautiful, you remind me so much of Linda McCartney who i idolise cuz im obsessed with the 70s and 80s vibes

Wow you look so amazing!.  I'm only just 7 weeks on HRT taking beginners E2 patches and Spiro and so far, just feel calmer.  Unfortunately I'm older than you were when you started but looking for more info so thankful that you are sharing your journey in such a realistically clear and informative way.  Exactly what I need.  Thank you!

lol.. watching this reminded me to take my estradiol. 4 months in for me… things are getting real. 😂

Im genuinely so obsessed with pink deers hair it's so incredible... I.... Need hair like that... I also just don't know anything about hair so... Surely I'll be able to figure out how to get hair like hers.... Im honestly pretty hopeful for my own hair seeing as mine is the same color and similar texture its just a lil bit straighter but i think i have more weight on my hair so my hair just doesn't like being wavy my mom's hair at that length was also very similar and my brother's hair is also wavy SOOOOO i think i just need to figure out her hairstyle and I too will have cute hair

I am very  proud of you for making the right decision. I alway dreamed of being a girl, but am to old (77) now

those aren't A cups darlin. unless you got a killer pushup under there

Thank you for that wonderful detailed description of your process, you look gorgeous!
This is aligment to the inner self, I was so rigid that I had to feel closer to death to understand it was worth going into this process I always desired.
I never could engage in any kind of relationship in my 46 years old life, except as virtual girl. if I ever really need again because I felt whole now. With cipro, had to stop because of liver, now going into espirolactone that is weaker, have to check potassium, but lighter on liver. I feel living again.

I've been on HRT as well for three years, and the wait for changes has been grueling, not gonna lie. I didn't go through as many as you. I have some budding breasts, but that's about it. I feel like I should have progressed more by now lol
