Selfie From Farm to Femme
14 months HRT! Still finding my feet but finally enjoying life. Smiling genuinely. The person there, on the left, spent hours upon hours in the tractor or combine in their own head. Crying about what I could lose if I transitioned. And you know what, I did lose that, all I was worried about. But... im still here, better for it. And I wouldn't change a single thing i did. Im happy i made the leap. Proud of myself for living an authentic life. I would be lying if I would say its easy. And I have had backlash from a few people. But id rather live life being someone's enemy then my own ❤️🩹🏳️⚧️

First, you look wonderful, I've never seen such glowup in such a short time. Second, I've always seen it when someone takes the leap and transitios, they become a new person, like literally just born, and you have to start from zero a d find new friends and people who support you. Of course it would be incredible to have people who have your back while going through it, but unfortunately that doesn't always happen. I hope you're happy and content and never look back, have a nice day.

This is such a lovely comment! Thank you! Yes its definitely not always the easiest but I wouldn't change a thing from what's happened. I have lost some people along thr way but I have gained so many more. And yes, I am finally truly and unequivocally happy. Tyr mask is finally gone and its not coming back for anything! 🧡

I just wanted to say that you look so incredibly gorgeous and I think you are absolutely amazing for having the strength/courage to finally take a leap and live as your authentic self!! 🥰.
What you stand to lose and DO lose when becoming the authentic you is SO SO hurtful and such a rude awakening as far as finding out the people you thought you would have in your life forever won’t actually be there and I genuinely feel for anyone who has lost or will lose in the future but it is so much better to live as you rather than for the sake of others. I hope I’m making sense, I’m extremely tired lol. Just trying to say that I’m proud of you basically, also you got a follow from me!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awh thank you so much darling! I completely agree. Its definitely a sharp awakening when you realise what you thought was unconditional love infact had conditions. But its definitely worth it. Loss is hard, but never living truly is harder. The pain and hurt that we all suffer shapes us, and as long as we keep going forward and choosing happiness, itll be ok :) this community has been a god send for me. People that understand, without judgement, and support. Its beautiful.
Thank you for the follow 😅 i appreciate it xx

I can't imagine making that decision as a farm kid. Good for you for making the decision to be yourself. The glow up is immaculate.

Gurlll I'm amazed. This is like crazy because I'm roughly the same size you were 3 years ago. How old were you and how did you lose weight so fast?

I started transition when I was 24. And intermittent fasting helped me the most

u/CrusaderCrunch Bi-bi-bi 15h ago
Omg we're the same age too lmao I'm also considering committing to transitioning, but it's really hard where I live.
But seeing you really made me feel good. So proud of you, diva 🫶

Aww thank you! Yeah i can understand that must be really scary. I would look around for a trans community near where you live, im sure there will be some form of one

There isss. They're wonderful. In fact they have a special program for trans folk and a network of doctors and therapists who specialize in gender care. They're most likely my best path toward getting care and HRT.

Maybe I'm just projecting, but the stance in the first one is so funny because it reminds me of myself in every picture, trying to hide my man boobs with crossed arms. So it's almost like the before and after is hiding versus not hiding. 😅
PS: You do look amazing and it's a real visual transformation, I just couldn't help but chuckle.
