Today marks 7 years since I first started screwing up my hormones. I'm always a little conflicted about mentioning this as some would view my transition as a "failure". I started at 43. My skin changed first. (Still love that one) Next came some perceived mental changes. (More on that later.) Body shape changes followed over many years. Went from flat chested to the B/C cup that I'm at now. Hips and butt changed with fat distribution changes. Face changed but just from fat distribution changes. Didn't end up doing any hair removal. Didn't start in time to save my hairline. No surgeries. I've said before how I really enjoyed the excitement of the first year. I think that was the mental changes that I felt were caused by the HRT. I do think not being on T helped to calm me down. That said, it took another 5 years or so to convince myself that I really did need to be on an antidepressant. I'm still very proud of myself for embarking on this journey of self-discovery. I am who I am. Someday, I might actually figure out how I want to present to the rest of the world. #nonbinary #trans #hrt
