When I was first transitioning I would post a comparison selfie each year on my HRTversary. I've fallen out of that habit the past couple years, but maybe I'll start again.

On the left is me in 2021, pre-HRT, taken on the day of my first meeting with a doctor about transitioning. The picture on the right is me today, just before heading out for a walk about the neighborhood. No makeup in either picture.

@wplalonde How does it feel being a "trans elder"? 😏

@Poljack Weird, since I don't even feel like a grown-up to begin with.

@wplalonde saaaaaame. I'm 3.5 years in, and realized that one of my dear trans mentors was only three years in when I was going to her for advice. Had a real "who's in charge here, fuck, it's me" moment when a young friend came to ME for advice.
