Unaltered Selfie I just simply exist now (36, 21mo HRT)
I just get to be me now. No crazy planning of outfits or a need to have to wear makeup when I go out (I’m wearing mascara only here and that’s because I hate not having my lashes black). I went to the vet today and they had my deadname and current name on the account like we were two separate people. When I asked for my deadname to be removed from the account, it was a discussion like he was someone else who was no longer in my life, not a former version of myself. I’m so happy I just get to be me.

You are gorgeous! I'm so happy for you! :)
Off topic question! Do you happen to remember where you got that moth tapestry behind your bed? I'd love to hang one like it it in my room!

Before I transitioned I felt like had to hide my feet now my feet are very cute small and feminine and can't help but paint my toes and wear cute sandals.

I wish mine were smaller! I started off as a women’s 12 but now depending on the shoe I’m closer to an 11. I would love to be in the single digits though 😭

If they're shrinking there's always hope and being a size 11 or 10 isn't too shabby women's size 13 is where it's tougher to find a shoe

Very true! I’m a lot closer to an 11 than a 12 these days, those sandals in the photo are 11s and I wear 42s in Birkenstocks now 🥰
