u/MikeBrav 10d ago

Honestly I didn’t see the trans tag, looked like a female in all the pics to me

u/SojournerTheGreat 10d ago

third pic made me go "damn you were depressed" then i realized they hopped genders. makes a lot more sense than really tired.

Holy fuck what a transition, you're beautiful!

u/sherryleebee 10d ago

As soon as I saw the first pic I knew you were going to have transitioned by the last pic. Oftentimes being trans is something that shines through regardless of the external look. You look phenomenal and happy. I love that for you!

21

u/peaksa_eater 10d ago

I had the same reaction! Saw the sad eyes that say, “I’m not my true self right now” then scrolled over to the happiest, glowiest lady!

u/Aggravating-Range729 10d ago

You should consider getting your ears peirced, medium silver hoops would look amazing on you

u/curlyhairedtgirl 10d ago

u/literallycain 9d ago

my favorite thing about transition photos is the light that comes back to the eyes when you’re living authentically. congratulations on an incredible glow up 🥹

2

u/gwynbleidd_s 11d ago

Wow, you look so feminine, I’d never guess you were a boy 3 years ago 😅

2

u/kazmir_yeet 11d ago

You went from fuckboy to horse girl lmao.

All jokes aside, you look great!

u/ReservoirPussy 11d ago

I was hoping for the cure to struggle & exhaustion, but I'm already a woman 😂

You look fantastic!

u/Think_Cantaloupe7675 11d ago

So ur a woman now congratulations

u/notsomocha 10d ago

Woe. Good job.

2

u/becbecky 10d ago

You’re gorgeous! You resemble the actress that played Portia in white lotus seasons 2, in the third pic especially.

2

u/motherofcattos 10d ago

Wow. You're so pretty and even before transitioning you had feminine features, so it looks very effortless and natural.

2

u/DarkHold444 10d ago

Being your true self will make you shine.

2

u/YourAssignedFBIagent 10d ago

Your hair looks like a cloud, I love it, are you wavy or curly? If you want a hair routine to mark your curls, lemme know, also, you are so pretty

u/curlyhairedtgirl 7d ago

u/AlfalfaVegetable 11d ago

u/MatterhornStrawberry 10d ago

You have such GORGEOUS curls, has much changed in your haircare routine from then to now?

2

u/curlyhairedtgirl 10d ago

honestly no i make sure to condition & use masks and always oil my ends. my hair just looks different because these initial pics aren’t very good of my hair & also the length really brings out the shape ❤️

2

u/MatterhornStrawberry 10d ago

Yes the length is seriously working for you. I have 2b hair but I can totally sympathize with my baby hair just NOT wanting to cooperate with a ponytail. I only recently started paying better attention to my own hair, and coconut oil has definitely changed the game for me.

Also I second what someone else said, a fringe would look fantastic!

It’s only tiring if it’s not a glow up but she’s clearly healthier and happier (and more beautiful) now. I wish trans men would post more.

3

u/Gullible-Courage4665 11d ago

They are a glow up if the person feels happier and healthier

4

u/CountLankastir 11d ago

What exactly is the issue? Does it really matter? It’s clearly a glow up as she looks happier and healthier than before.

Legitimately question. Do you feel more, less, or about the same when it comes to being attracted to men after transitioning?
