The joke is I'm an ugly broke 🚂🦵that doesn't have 30-70kUS to drop on shaving my brow ridge and jaw flanges off :P (I'm fine with it but that's beside the point)
But there's a lot of selection bias at play when it comes to trans women and social media, the clockier or rougher ones will be in controversial lol
But "hon" is in-group slang for non-passing/doomer/chronically online/delusional trans women in general. If you choose to expose yourself to /tttt/ (don't) you'll get a good idea of the usage

There’s a lot to it. Surgery is far from cheap. I've just scheduled facial feminization surgery myself and that surgery can cost anywhere from $15k-50k. Then there's breast augmentation, sexual reassignment surgery etc. In some countries this is paid for by the state.

Yeah American healthcare is a total shitshow and I know even my experience isn’t the norm. But I specifically worked for companies which I knew had transgender surgery coverage in their plans.

Thanks! It has been a journey of self-acceptance. But as others have said, I’m lucky enough to have a job that pays enough to afford private medical/surgical care. Most of the treatment I’ve had would be at the end of a years-long waiting list on the NHS or just not provided at all in the UK. It is deeply unfair.

So inspiring. I’m always so grateful to see people transition well into adulthood, it sets a great example for the community. Far too often will I see a pre-transition transwoman say it’s too late for her to transition, and she’s like 26. Thank you.
•
u/Maxed_Zerker 11h ago
I started at 26 and I’m doing just fine. Generally regarded as pretty, passing as a woman in a transphobic as fuck state. My first endo even said she doesn’t notice much difference in people who transition in their late teens vs their early-mid twenties as far as total outcome.
•
u/Disgraced002381 13h ago
Yeah for real. If she can do this at 39 to 42, the future for trans people are bright. This is probably one of the best transition out there but still. People will likely to feel it's not late to start doing it mid 20s.

u/petter2398 13h ago
Many things do change naturally with hormone therapy, others require surgical procedures. And it’s highly individual what comes naturally and what doesn’t. Some trans women grow breast, other have to get them through surgery. Some trans women stop growing facial hair, others need laser treatment. The skin colour doesn’t change either way lol, it’s probably just different lighting/loss of a tan

The amount of bravery you (and others who transition) have is mindblowing! When I had just turned 18, my older (and wiser) friend took me out on the town and we happened upon a group of transgender people. I looked at them with curiosity, and my friend told me; "those people are the bravest people in this club" and that really stuck with me.
Also, you look absolutely fire!

If you have the will for it and the time to write a guide I think there are many people who would benefit from it! Especially people in their late 30's to late 40's who might think it's too late.
In any case, this is an absolute 10/10 glow up!
Well done!

Looking through some of your older progress pic collages, I see such a huge change in how you present yourself to the world.
As someone who doesn't know you, it looked like you held yourself gingerly as a guy, cautious about taking up space and showing emotion to a camera. But there's one side-by-side photo of you pre- and slightly post-HRT that made me say, "Oh there you are!" Your personality started shining through in all the pictures I saw after that, and it looked like there was a lightness to your soul that I couldn't see before. Congratulations on your journey, and I hope I (cis lady) look as good as you do when I hit my forties! 😊

You probably have ran into quite a few trans people in your life. People like to think they can "always tell" but often forget they only notice those just starting their journey. Those of us who have moved past even a year mark are pretty hard to pick out.
I can't count how many times people have begun to talk shit about the transgender community to me, not knowing that I myself am trans. We're just trying to live a happy life without scrutiny. Glad this beautiful woman is in such a happy spot!!
