I've more or less k...Suzanne's blog is a good one. I've more or less known Suzanne for a long time though Second Life and some mutual friends, but I hadn't found her blog until recently.<BR/><BR/>I agree that there is a very visible difference in that juxtaposed photo. Keep one thing in mind -- part of the difference, certainly not all, is due to weight loss. Scott was heavier.<BR/><BR/>She does take lovely photographs, eh?<BR/><BR/>Thinking about how you'd be perceived post-transition is perfectly normal. Some who will never "pass" go for it anyway. Many decide it's just not worth it.<BR/><BR/>Hormones make a lot of difference in your face, over time. They don't change your bone structure, but they soften angles, move fat around, and generally make you look more feminine. Individual results vary.<BR/><BR/>Hairline is not really a biggie, unless it's very high. That's what they invented hairstyles with bangs for (like mine -- which also covers the wrinkles on my forehead). I have a classic "M" shape, not very feminine. Proscar is helping that a bit, but mostly I just hide it. Some natal women have widow's peaks too.<BR/><BR/>And voice, you learn. Some get surgery on their vocal cords, but you have to learn to speak differently anyway. My voice wasn't low in the first place, but I've heard some amazing results from YouTube videos, like Candi's. It takes work, but it's possible.<BR/><BR/>Late 20s is definitely not too old to transition. Hopefully, neither is mid-50s. Stop making me feel so old! :)Véro Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895169022031921712noreply@blogger.com
