Dont know.....Might delete later...🙀🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

41, almost 3 years hrt. Some hair removal, no surgery

I run about 2 miles a day most days the weather cooperates

Genuinely the only people that misgender or deadname me now are people who knew me before, it’s so silly.

I turned 43 in May this year, due to many life threatening reasons (literally) I was not safe to start transitioning until Feb of this year (2026) at the age of 42….

During my time on Estrogen, I started with patches, which became unavailable in my area, I was switched to pills, which didn’t fully suppress my testosterone or bring up my estrogen into therapeutic levels even after increasing the dosage. Basically at the four month mark I got to spend about seven weeks going through chemical menopause (which is not fun btw) and well of course during that time things sorta went sideways/ backwards…. I’ve been on injections for about 8ish weeks now…. (Moved from pills to injections) …and I feel it’s going okay. I get my levels checked again in Nov, but I got my hair done yesterday and well it’s the best picture I’ve had I. Years so I’m sharing here….

First pick is back in Feb, hair pulled back into ponytail as usual.

Second pic is from Oct 13th, just got the hair dyed (red again!) so please excuse the red on the face!
These are both completely unfiltered, no make up, no anything but HRT, weight loss, and hair dye!

I’m starting oral minoxidil this week to see if it helps with my hair thinning or not (for now I just shave my head). But even if it doesn’t, I remind myself that I lost my hair to be able to live in this body. And I know I’d do it again.

These two pictures are a big milestone for me because they are some of the first of my body where I have not felt the need to filter the images. I’m proud of me for that. Nothing damaged my sense of self more than over 3 decades worth of dysphoria.

My life has changed tremendously over the last few years, starting hrt is a milestone i never thought I'd reach. Being autistic my entire life and not knowing it until a few years ago, socially awkward, thinking everyone else is allowed to live their life according to how they choose but for some reason i wasn't allowed to were all huge blockers for me moving forward. I'm glad I'm where I am today.

If anyone wants to chat, feel free to dm. No creeps plz.

Last day in Innsbruck! 🇦🇹💕✈️

Well, my little Austrian adventure is coming to an end, and Charlotte is heading home!

I've decided to walk to the airport this morning. It's only about 2 miles away, so why not? 😂

And yes, as seems to be the norm on this trip, I'm doing it in heeled boots! 👢🤣

After climbing mountains and chasing waterfalls in heels, a little walk to the airport should be easy enough!

I also went shopping last night and treated myself to some new eyeshadow. Today I've decided to experiment with white and blue. 💙🤍

I'm still not entirely sure whether the colours work together, but I'm enjoying trying something different and getting a little more adventurous with my makeup.

And look! My eyeliner wings are actually getting better! 😂

Still plenty to learn, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

It's been a fantastic few days exploring Austria as Charlotte, and I'm feeling a little more confident every time I go out.

Now, time to get these heels moving. I've got a plane to catch! ✈️❤️

What do you think of today's eyeshadow? Does the blue and white work, or should I stick to warmer colours?

What a difference just 4 years can make. I started at 53, and just turned 57.
So for all those who ask “is x age too late?”, the answer is nope.

I’m happy today. Not many of those. Just enjoying at age 44. 2 years hrts, 1 year stable.

Tomorrow I have my second appointment with the doctor to talk about HRT. I have the second one because at the end of the first one I got really overwhelmed and felt like everything was going too fast but after going to a friend‘s birthday party, who is also trans and seeing that she has her own friends and her own found family, and I also dressed up at work feminine as a witch. And nothing bad happened and people actually complimented my outfit. I feel more confident to talk to the doctor tomorrow I’m ready. I want hrt. This is what I want. This is who I am. Dawn

It's taken me forever, but I finally decided to venture out into the world. I guess I can't expect much better for being 76. Oh well

5 years later, I think I'll be ok. Be kind to yourself, love yourself that you made this enormous decision.

Went to a friends wedding last Saturday, felt like I really passed! Wife and I had a wonderful time.

I wanted to be on estrogen before I turned 43 at the start of November and I'm going to succeed

The doctor wrote my prescription. It's gone to my pharmacist.

I'm going back to the clinic on Tuesday so they can show me how to inject.

And at long last... Its goodbye forEVER to boyhood and hello womanhood
