  • I remember your voice from last time and you definitely sound more feminine! Although I still hear a bit of dopeyness. Your voice is like a feminine Winnie the Pooh. (Actually, I think I might have said that last time, but you do sound notably more feminine this time!)

    Feel free to roast my voice if you’d like: https://youtu.be/p2hA1QkZRJM

    Also, make sure you keep practicing. I stopped because I’m pretty much happy with my voice but I slowly slipped part way back to my old voice. Once I realized that, it was pretty easy to get back where I was fortunately.





  • Fear is common, change is scary, and you are not alone. In my experience, the first few weeks after realizing that you’re trans feel the most scary. I had the same fears about ‘what is my family going to think?’ I’m a young’un so, I don’t have a spouse and children like you do, but I know that coming out to family is scary, and that it might be hard at first, but if they love you they will likely come around eventually, some people just need time to process. Although I have no experience with coming out to a partner, I do wish you the best of luck and I hope it works out well for you!




  • When I started HRT I was at around 270 pounds (122.5 kg) but I exercised a bunch and got down to 220 pounds (100 kg) which I’ve been stuck at for almost a year now. Despite losing all that weight in my first few months of taking HRT, I still had a lot of breast growth. I didn’t really restrict myself calorically, although I didn’t eat excessively either, so my calorie deficit came primarily from exercise, so it is possible to lose weight without inhibiting breast growth. Your genetics are also going to be a factor as well, some people just don’t get much breast growth, but that doesn’t mean they are any less valid!






  • I can confirm it does. It is a lot rarer now for me to experience anger and it is a lot easier for me to cry. I also had a change in taste as well. I used to hate blueberries, grapes, and asparagus but now I love them. I’ve also found that my tolerance and cravings for spicy food has increased as well. Those changes all occured within my first few months of taking HRT.

    (PS, I hope you are able to get HRT soon)



  • Thanks for your advice, though I actually have all my documents updated already except for my birth certificate. Sex is self determined here on driver’s licenses and etc so all my other documents already have an F marker on it.

    I changed my name when I was about 8 months on hrt so I didn’t qualify for getting an ACT letter then. So I figured I’d just change it later, but yeah I agree it’d be easier to do both at once.

    From what I have read my birth certificate changes will be private (only if done via court order) however my name change is public unfortunately. I don’t think it’s possible for that to be private here unless there’s like a victim protection thing going on.
