    Six-Month Update

    My body has changed significantly during the six months since I started HRT, but mainly I just love how I feel inside now. Getting to be myself every day is a wonderful feeling, and the person I am becoming makes me happy and proud. I’ve stepped away from the late-night scene, and instead of buying cocktail dresses and spending two hours on my makeup, I wear simple clothes and paint my mug in fifteen minutes. I can even wear a dress to church or around my kids now, although I avoid wearing things that make me feel uncomfortable, because then I become self-conscious and less confident. There have been challenges, for sure, but often I just stare in the mirror and smile that all this is really happening, finally!
    Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hairstylist you like.

I assure you it continues to get better, I just passed my one year mark and despite other issues I really enjoy life much more and look forward to each and every day. I also agree that the mental peace is priceless. You look fabulous!! Hugs.

    Thanks for the happy update!
    Talisker because i like the taste and dont need another name or personality but needed some letters (numbers arent allowed on here). Found out later its a rare mans name on a small scottish island.

    Sexually attracted to things with human female characteristics - Talisker, GGs, CDs, cheetara etc.
    Male things can be useful a CD accessory and for drinks or currys, directions and lifting stuff.

    Something you wrote reminded me of a really old country song...'A Satisfied Mind'...I had to look it up. It was a hit for Porter Wagonner in the mid 50s, but covered several times later. I thought, Ashely's got a satisfied mind. That's as good as it gets!
