Feeling down, tell me it gets better?
Quick synopsis:
AMAB but have known I was supposed to be a girl, since I was very little, but my egg only cracked about six years ago, took me that long to come out to my wife and start hormone therapy. Been on E only 2.5 months.
I’ve been out in public as myself here and there with the impression that sometimes I pass, and sometimes I don’t. Was generally feeling pretty good about things until tonight.
I used some of those face recognition apps, and they all identified me as a fat old balding man. When I was younger, I looked very young for my age very feminine, but as I get older, I guess have lost some of that or most of it. One of the apps put me at 10 years older than my actual age.
Please tell me hormones make a difference, I’m not going to permanently socially transition until the hormones do make a difference and I guess if they don’t, I won’t fully transition ever, but I’d like to have some hope that they may be the magical thing I’ve been waiting for. Can anyone cheer me up?
