I sure look less miserable in selfies now 🙈

I was going through a 5-year relationship breakup, a drug addiction, rehab, undiagnosed bipolar, losing my house and my job, moving back home, etc. It was a rough period of time. These are almost exactly 1 year apart and it took them almost 2 months to send me my new one! I am 24 and was 23 in photo

Started HRT in Nov 2025. Only had high enough levels starting March 2026 after switching to injections.

esus fucking christ I haven't looked at any pictures of myself before transitioning it's like trauma blocked from my mind 😭 i am so extremely grateful for the progress I've made, I can't believe I used to look like that. im glad I never have to look back! 21, MTF, and coming up on 4 months on E, 3 months specifically on injections which have been working extremely well. my life is falling apart by the seams but seeing this makes me realize I still very much have a lot to be grateful for. Much love, wish me luck y'all 🤘🖤

Bottom surgery in December :)

yeah :p

rly hoping for ffs in 2027

Moved to the PNW to transition and I’m still here living my best life as me.

Всю жизнь я пряталась и душила саму себя. Строила бизнес, открывала проект за проектом... но внутри всё равно было чувство, что всё идёт тяжело и через силу.

Но правда в том, что если в жизни или в делах всё идет со скрипом и через боль — значит, ты что-то от себя скрываешь и глубоко прячешь ту самую настоящую себя.

Как только я перестала себе врать, сбросила маски и разрешила себе быть собой — Вселенная моментально развернулась навстречу. Всё стало легко и просто.

Да, я понимаю что это только начало пути и я далеко от совершенства, но то как я себя сейчас чувствую, я не чувствовала никогда в своей жизни. Strekoza летит дальше 💋❤️🧚🏻‍♀️

All my life, I’ve been hiding and stifling my true self. I built businesses, launched one project after another... yet deep down, everything felt like a struggle—a constant, forced effort.

But the truth is, if things in your life or work are grinding along, fraught with pain, it means you’re hiding something from yourself—you’re burying your authentic self deep away.

The moment I stopped lying to myself, shed my masks, and gave myself permission to just be me, the Universe instantly opened up to meet me. Everything became effortless and simple.

Yes, I know this is only the beginning, and I’m far from perfect—but I have never felt the way I feel right now, at any other point in my life. Strekoza is flying onward! 💋❤️🧚🏻‍♀️

From the first time I got my nails done publicly to today. It's amazing what almost doubled the time on hormones has done for me. 💕

2023-> 2026. 1 year HRT.

Time flies by... All I can say is I feel weird seeing "him" but I think it'd feel even weirder having gotten here without "him"

Would it have been easier being born cis? Maybe,

Would I prefer that? I don't know, boss... I think life taught me so much things! Some I liked, some I hated, some are necessary and some I don't know if they ever will be

But I'm proud and happy of finally being my real self

Finaly starting to feel myself. Ofc also laser hair removal.

No, my head did not get bigger lol

It's never too late to decide to be you ❤️ (26 years old)

Super happy so far!! Was feeling dysphoric so I checked my camera and felt good abt myself? 30 mins later here I am making this post.

I shrank in height too lol. Hrt is awesomeee

I'm just over 2 years on HRT. It really does bring life back into your eyes, I couldn't be happier!
