It has been a hot minute since I shared a selfie and I missed TDOV bc I was dying at work, but here have this selfie I just took. I got so many compliments on my hair today and idek what I did bc I haven't done anything different (so I'm thinking it's just... The length?)

Anyway, I'm now well over a year and a half on T, woohoo!!

And as is my tradition when discussing my transition, some pics of me taken around the same time over the past couple years:

The picture on the left I took about 5 months before I started T. I still identified as nonbinary and at the time I thought I was okay being perceived as a woman. It wasn't until I returned to work a month later and had to face hearing and using my legal name after a year of being called "Gerry" by literally all of my friends that I realized "oh shit I'm miserable"

The picture on the right is me 6 months on T, essentially a year after the one on the left was taken, and legitimately the way I felt in the second pic is just... Night and day to how I felt in the first one. I stopped taking my antidepressants once I started transitioning (with my doctors support) bc lmao I guess being dysphoric 100% of the time makes u SUPER DEPRESSED and when u like? Deal? With the dysphoria? The depression becomes like? Manageable? Who knew.

Anyway, it's weird looking at these pics bc the first one I like... I KNOW that was me, but it's NOT me? The second pic is like "that me!" y'know?

ANYWAY this is my super late TDOV post I meant to post like... On TDOV and also a "hey my transition is going GREAT" type update.
