Posted this on Reddit the other day, but neglected to do so anywhere else.

I did one of my usual timeline posts, but this one was Year to Year instead of month to month, and it’s kind of fascinating to me.

We so often say “HRT is magic”, and it LEGIT feels that way, but in truth, the fact that our bodies are able to do this kind of restructuring on their own (given the right instructions), even on someone who left OG puberty in the dust 2 decades ago, it’s absolutely WILD.

@maegodhavemercy Your hair... it's so amazing!
@maegodhavemercy - Love the "Date of Epiphany." ❤️
@dolari that’s the best way I can think to describe it. :D
@maegodhavemercy The change in your face is astonishing 
@maegodhavemercy Amazing glow up. Looking great, it is really amazing to see how the shape of your face changed over time. 
@maegodhavemercy wow! Seeing the changes over the years is amazing! It is incredible to think how with the application of hormones we can make such changes. Congratulations!

@maegodhavemercy as someone at the 11 month mark, this is verrrry encouraging, lol.

You look absolutely amazing these days, I'm so happy for you!

And is it just me, or do I *see* the shell shock in that first photo? 😅

@maegodhavemercy Every time I see transition photos like this the smile becomes more authentic after HRT. Seeing people become visibly happier with themselves is the best part of it.
@maegodhavemercy That's absolutely amazing, Mae! 😍

@maegodhavemercy meant to be, that's all I see 😍

And way happier. 😊💜

@maegodhavemercy You don't have any idea how much hope this gives me
@val_vgms that’s why I post it, even though it has old pictures. :)
@maegodhavemercy Your transformation is nothing short of spectacular. You give this old woman hope that someday it may happen for me too.
@maegodhavemercy it's wonderful to see how much happier you look! :-)
@maegodhavemercy that is one heck of a glow up. Your confidence went from "I'm ready to find the real me" to "I'm gonna rule the world" and I am here for it.

@maegodhavemercy It is like magic almost. I'm about 4 months away from 6 years and it keeps nudging me along.

And I so much more like who I see in the mirror now. But it's not just the physical changes. Transition and hrt finally put me in the real world and I've learned so much more about myself and who I am and what I believe is important. I couldn't do that when trapped inside the closet.

@maegodhavemercy these will never cease to amaze me 🥰

@maegodhavemercy I know I commented on the Reddit post too, but holy DAMN Mae!!! 😳💟

It's like every time someone gets astounded by your glow-up, your body goes, "Hold my beer" & makes you even prettier 🥺  

Thank you for continuing to be so open about your transition, both in your posts & webcomic, as it's been really helpful to so many of us  

Also, it's always lovely to see you so happy 🥰

@maegodhavemercy incredible! Thank you for sharing.
@rooster @maegodhavemercy my head can’t fit this much transformational beauty inside it.
@maegodhavemercy Awesome progress, you look amazing!

@maegodhavemercy it's insane. I'm coming up on a year, (your comic is largely at fault :P), and I can't believe the changes already. Even my profile picture is significantly outdated at this point.

What I don't get, is how my parents still have no idea.

@maegodhavemercy congratulations! You were gorgeous all along, but seem much happier now and that’s seems a wonderful thing.
@maegodhavemercy Posts like this inspire me to keep on looking for better options than a years long waiting list for HRT, and to keep up my social transition regardless.
Thank you for sharing this, it really helps!
🥰
@maegodhavemercy Damnit, Mae. I thought you looked hot a year ago and now *this*? Save some hotness for the rest of us!
@maegodhavemercy I gotta say, it's the smile getting bigger with every selfie that tells me all I need to know. 🙂
@maegodhavemercy HRT is, in fact, magic. Looking amazing, girl!
@maegodhavemercy congratulations on being able to be who you feel you truly are. The transformation is amazing. I have one question and if it's too personal I get it. How did your wife take your decision? And do you still have any type of relationship with her (and/or her family).
@maegodhavemercy I can only hope for the same results, you look amazing and happy!

@maegodhavemercy

All that matters is the person in the most recent picture is happier and healthier than in the first. Beautiful hair only gets you so far…. 😉

@maegodhavemercy Jeez, it's so cool to see deeper timelines like this, you know?

The one I'm looking forward to someday is the Y 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7 progression, since it takes seven years on average for all the cells in the human body to die off and be replaced. I figure, that's the end of active transition, if there is such a thing.

Got a whole commemorative tattoo planned out and everything.

@Impossible_PhD @maegodhavemercy

Oh wow that's a bit over a year from now for me. Time really does fly sometimes.

@maritroniuity @maegodhavemercy Really? Wow, that's gotta be a mindjob, huh?
@Impossible_PhD @maegodhavemercy Very much one. Especially since the first two years went very slowly

@maegodhavemercy Wow.

I'm almost at the six month mark myself. It sometimes feels like where I'm at six months in is where I'll be stuck forever. But I can see that you're still getting amazing results just from comparing the two and three year pictures.

You look incredible and that gives me so much hope. Thank you for sharing!

@maegodhavemercy that's a *huge* change between 2020 and 2021! I'm so happy for you 🥰
@maegodhavemercy what a fantastic transformation to a beautiful woman!!!❤️
@maegodhavemercy omg, showing this to my fiance. She should totally do this. PS totally jealous of your latest hair
@maegodhavemercy Wow, that's quite the transformation! Both physically, and you can really see the development of your makeup skills.
@maegodhavemercy wow! That is amazing. You look radiant now!
@maegodhavemercy Just about to start my third year on HRT. I can't wait to be this powerful.
@maegodhavemercy Your journey is a big inspiration. 💕
