I love how the more you transition, the happier you get :)

I was waiting for a beard to grow, imagine how surprised i was
LaBix
God dayum. Mighty fine lady. Congrats on being a stunner.
JohnnyAllee
Congratulations on feeling better about yourself, takes courage to make a change like that
HmmHmmIndubitably
As a woman...can like...i get some hormones?
Frogapus
It basically tells our bodies to act as if our DNA was XX, not XY. So we kinda turn into our female version. It wouldn't do TOO much to ya.
Sarumanandtheamazingtechnicolourdreamcoat
my favourite part is that the smile gets bigger as you go down +1 for happiness and acceptance :)
huggables
Hmm my gf always says "cause im not a girl...im a dude. Hahahaha" ... makes me worried now.
LoopStricken
Girls can totes be dudes. Doesn't mean that they're guys.
IAmFaucetFailure
I fucking signed in to upvote this shit. Very happy for you, OP. You're killing it!!!
Deadlypaper
Honestly it just looked like your hair got longer, your smile got bigger, and your make up skills got better with each picture.
madsenkd
Are you fucking kidding me? I just don't get some people. How can you use that headset? I had one of those for ~2 weeks, it was terrible.
TheePieMan
I don't know where to put my aggression after reading the first question and sentence. I was about to yell but now it's just inside me.
idlovetoseeyourboobies
Sure this is ok but when i post pics of my dick every 2 weeks from age 9 to 16 i get a visit from the police.
wanderrrr
i understand that's a joke but dick pics are not equivalent to selfies...
idlovetoseeyourboobies
What if my name is richard?
BlackDahliaDrive
As a fellow transwoman, congrats! That's so amazing! I just got my letter and am starting hormones as soon as I move to my new place.
CallMeOrangeJoe
I love how you can actually see the increased happiness in each picture. Beautiful smile, OP.
IamDad
Exactly what I thought! Just the smile growing as she came to love herself. Truly beautiful. :,)
papercuttedtears
then there is hope for me?? I was super worried about it not coming through in the end, and I haven't even started hormones yet...
Frogapus
There is absolutely hope. I was really worried about it at first, too. PM me, and I'll scoot you some resources.
papercuttedtears
i'm on mobile :')
Frogapus
Laura's playground looks and sounds like a 90's artifact, but it's got tons of up to date resources and chats with other folks with advice.
casonator
Dat skin recovery tho
Frogapus
Estrogen softens skin, so a lot of us end up with better skin the more we transition.

Waiting for the inevitable post that shows "2 years on hormones -
".
Sloppywalnut
You're really beautiful, the transition went really well, you made the hormones your bitch
pretzelnugget
I had no idea it went that quickly. I thought it was one of those over-several-years things. Neat.
Frogapus
It differs from person to person. Some take years. Mine went fast, but nowhere NEAR this fast.
Onidino
Could be because of the age she started the hormones?
waluigifan
You look beautiful. I'm a pre-T trans guy and this gives me so much hope
Frogapus
Oh man, you're in for a treat. The T hits hard and fast. You guys see major changes in like the first 3 months.
waluigifan
Lmao I'm fucking terrified but also fuck yeah facial hair and voice drop
Frogapus
Hair loss is kinda common too, though, on T. Just a heads-up.
waluigifan
True. But as long as it does what it's supposed to then I'm happy to sacrifice some hair
Frogapus
Awesome. Plus buzz cuts are fun to touch, if you go that route.
NASABitch
This pisses me off. Her boobs are bigger than mine. It's not fair.
WhersMySAMMICH
for scientific research i'll need to see a sample of both pairs of boobs in order to prove your hypothesis only an outside observer 1/2
WhersMySAMMICH
can come to the correct conclusion because i am unbiased. I will be waiting patiently 2/2
Sarumanandtheamazingtechnicolourdreamcoat
do you hit on women like this in real life? does it ever work? I don't think it's going to work for you.
WhersMySAMMICH
Clearly you are angry good for you. I was unaware that I wasn't aloud to try and be funny my apologies
Sarumanandtheamazingtechnicolourdreamcoat
I'm not angry at all :P I asked a question.
hiyesthisissatan
I'm so glad that you got to do hormones while you were still young! Your transformation looks very smooth. I can't wait to start mine! Ftm
Frogapus
I started mine at 29 and still made some serious progress. It's never too late.
ILikeToHideInLongCommentChains
That's awesome.
HateWinslet
What are the benefits to doing it when younger?
hiyesthisissatan
For a cis male you won't have gone completely through male puberty. Strong jaw line, deep coice, Adams apple, broad shoulders- 1/?
hiyesthisissatan
And other things that are not reversable. For cis women we don't grow bewbs. I want to remove mine this year but no hormones yet
juggernaut1
Like serious question: The hormones gotta be expensive right? Is it like a car payment for the rest of your life??
IamDad
GOOD LUCK!!!
hiyesthisissatan
Thanks! I won't be starting for yeas to come. I have kids and don't want to put them through the whole thing...yet.
IamDad
Ugh that's the worst and I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you the best, friend. If you ever need to vent or just talk my inbox is open <3
Placeboy
I start mine next month. Nervous as hell.
IamDad
Best of luck!!!!!!!!
AngeIa
How old will you be? If you don't mind my asking? And are you transitioning from F-M or visa versa? Good luck to you!!!
Placeboy
I'll be 25 next month, so right before I start. I'm FTM. :)
AngeIa
That is fab. I'm happy for you! If you're up for sharing i'd love to see a post like this one. If not totally understand, hope it goes well!
Placeboy
Thanks. :) I was wondering if I should do a post.

How do you like the changes to her playstyle? (At least from my less experienced use of Riven.)
Cooljc9
It's fine ^.^ So long as you dont spam her Q which no one does
TheePieMan
Yeah, it's kind of weird to be a part of such an evolving game. When things just rapidly change.
lovemeinfocus
What I loved the most was the genuine smile that appeared as you scrolled down. Congratulations :)
EDarwin
Me too.
snerdwilliams
OP would you be willing to do a Q&A? Like explain what the transition period was like. How are the treatments? How often?
Cooljc9
Sure ! to answer those questions super quick . It started hard and became easy , Treatments are good 3 times a day , 7 pills a day.
chicafantasma
You have bigger boobs than I do.
JustAnotherImgurAsshole
What made you decide you wanted to do hormone treatment? Was it a feeling you always had? Were you happier after?
ArtemisArtemisArtemisArtemisArtemis
Is there a way to get "stuck" on the 2 months part? I am not happy with my gender, but I want to stay in between.
flurian
If you're currently estrogen-based, a small dose of T (but not very high) would work. 1/2
flurian
If you're currently testosterone-based, not sure what the deal is. Talk to your doctor though. I know people who're intentionally in-between
ArtemisArtemisArtemisArtemisArtemis
Thanks. I seek for androgyny. I love my body, I already have a girly waist, but I hate having body hair and my face is too masculine.
TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlememes
Okay okay Honest question, what happens/happend to your thinga ma bob?!
snerdwilliams
Are the treatments expensive? Were they covered by insurance?
Cooljc9
Uh about 50-80 Dollars a month now. Yes they are but the co-pay is about the same so I typically don't bother with it.
Frogapus
Wait. 50-80? You might want to look for a clinic that specializes. I pay nothing for my shots, and my Spiro costs me $5 for a month's worth.
snerdwilliams
Any discomfort or pain? How has your voice changed? Any change in body hair?
Cooljc9
A lot of discomfort , its like going through puberty again. Voice has changed a lot due to vocal training . Body hair is pretty much gone.
Juicytoast
Gay Asian Man into a straight white woman. I just want to know how you changed races in the middle.
GamerJules
Make-up and better lighting go a looong way for skin appearance. After your comment, totally had to double-check her ears, same person.

Looks more like a First Nations person who started out as and stayed First Nations the whole way through. 'Grats on finding yourself!
kmcj22
Agreed. Found fellow canadians.
devblack
Found the Canadian.
pumpkinspicedrum
Yes, yes you did. I'm also learning that the USA maybe doesn't live with/among First Nations folks like we do.
Veggisaurus
Eyebrows?
Juicytoast
It looks like the eye shape changed some but maybe that's cause they're smiling.
Veggisaurus
Face thinned out a bit too.
Juicytoast
True but that could just be from the hormones.

Frogapus
I did the same on a half-asian template. It's surprisingly easy.
madpathmoth
Half-asian template? Is that as bad as half-elf? Like "All of the drawbacks of Asian without any of the benefits of White Person"?
Frogapus
Other way around. I get some white privilege, but also don't age as rapidly.
Skarred666
What about low-light vision do you get the Asian Eye-feat or.....Also do get advantage on stealth rolls for ninja skills
Frogapus
I can pick monk, samurai, or ninja as my favored class, and I get a bonus on Dex.
Juicytoast
Ok so my question now is. What of you had a full asian template? Would you go to half asian or is there no possible change?
Frogapus
No idea. I kinda look like a total white girl these days. Genetic lottery, I guess.
Juicytoast
Im going to need proof to confirm these claims
Frogapus
Sorry dear, I don't selfie on request. I appreciate your interest, though! ^_^

He could have started straight and ended up gay. Maybe she identifies as an A10 now too.
Juicytoast
So he became a she to become a lesbian? I mean whatever float your boat.
exarkun00720
That's what Catilyn Jenner did supposedly. I mean just cause you feel feminine doesn't mine you don't like ladies too.
greenmusic23f
Sexual orientation and gender aren't the same thing.

You silly americans. She's native. I guess you don't have as many around as we do per capita. -Canada
NoDanaOnlyZuuuuul
Sadly, no
hellomynameispissoff
Native? Not sure how you would know that, but if we're being technical, "natives" are actually from Asia. That goes for Inuits & "Indians".
kmcj22
Yes but they do have their own distinct features such as rounder faces, and more pointed noses. And even jaw shape.
StupidFatDaikini
the natives here are mainly on/around their reservations.

Ok honest question here, do ou have to keep taking hormones the rest of your life? If you stop, do you turn back to a dude?
januaryonlakestreet
Going off estrogen pre-surgery just means testosterone would take over again. Post-surgery would essentially be like going through menopause
DrRetroMD
Yes
GodEmperorOfImgur
Not the poster but, yes. At least once the person has undergone sex reassingment surgery, they'll no longer have testicles producing 1/2
Frogapus
More or less. But it's not really a big deal--kinda like taking vitamins. You won't revert after a day. But some things do come back slowly.
Morebunnies
If I stop taking birth control, I'll get pregnant. Maybe not right away, but chances go up every day after. Those are hormones too.
GodEmperorOfImgur
testosterone, which will make it easier to maintain, but the person i question (as I understand at least) will always need estrogen 2/2

Interesting, thanks for the info

Some take to it better than others though. Some take to it worse. (I've had several friends deal with this stuff and others consider it.)
throughthoughtthough
Good info, thanks for the reply
Clitastrophe
Literally everything I've read/heard from people who do it has informed what I said but the downvotes say it's false so don't count on it.
a1a1b2
No you do not die from stopping hormone therapy. If that were true, people would die from menopause. 1/2
a1a1b2
However, there are negative side effects if your sex hormones aren't balanced well, which is more likely with hormone therapy 2/2
shorthurrdontcurr
As long as their overall sex hormone levels are high enough to prevent osteoporosis, it's not really that dangerous. If a trans person (1/3)
shorthurrdontcurr
has their ovaries/testicles removed, they'll be dependent on hormones to prevent this. Just switching between the two doesn't (2/3)
shorthurrdontcurr
significantly impact your health, to my knowledge. (3/3)
a1a1b2
Some changes are reversible and some are not. Breast growth wont fully reverse. Other things will fully reverse, such as 1/2
a1a1b2
Fat distribution, muscle mass, skin thickness (thinner on female hormones), libido, body hair distribution 2/2
a1a1b2
If someone takes hormone therapy before they finish puberty, their skeleton will be more like their target sex, and this is not reversible
Skarred666
and what about mood swings will you suffer from them due to the hormonal coaster ride
a1a1b2
Yes some people call it a second puberty when you transition. Although no good studies because there are separate psychological 1/2
Skarred666
Does taking Hormones make you grow mammary glands and have periods? (serious question)
Syyd
Men do naturally have rudimentary mammary glands. Unsure if the added estrogen would cause them to function like a females'. 1/2
a1a1b2
Yes to mammary glands. Some transwomen on hormones lactate if their hormones are not balanced properly. Syvd's right about periods
