Melissa, after seeing your latest photo, Cardenas went way up on my list, of course, you were already cute before. I don't think he is going to have as much to work with when he gets to me, LOL. But, a year or so down the line I too will be visiting him. Thanks for keeping us informed.........Stephanie
thanks so much for sharing your story so far! You look amazing btw
Did he make your whole face thinner? How???
It doesn't look like you've had any surgery at all, it looks like you are just naturally feminine and pretty and happy!
Melissa.... Sorry to be so late on this, but OMG! You look incredible! I know it has been unbelievably painful and stressful, but gosh you are a beautiful woman!
Another beacon and I just wish I was 20 years younger... I think my life would have taken a different turn...
I just love being able to share with you.... xx
I think I am about to cry...!

Melissa you are beautiful! May I politely suggest you change your avatar to a more flattering picture? It does not do you justice.

You look absolutely great Melissa!
How is being fulltime at work now? Do you have any stories of encouragement or things to watch out for?

Well, that's what I look like when I get out of the shower. Some don't want to show their faces, I like to show mine as natural as the camera will allow. Those that have questions deserve to see the truth.Originally Posted by Janet77
And thank you for that Melissa, from those of us who are going under the knife before long too.

Honesty has become extremely important to me. It always has been, but increasingly so lately. I've realized that not being honest with myself and the world has kept me from reaching my full potential. I didn't decide to transition that day in 2010, I decided to be honest with myself and if that meant transition than so be it. On that day I stopped pretending.
Some very wise words which can be used in all facets of life. Taking a leaf from Reine, everyone has their road to travel or words to that affect.

HEY, HEY YOU! Where's the guy that used to work in this office?? Who are you anyway? I have a long planned meeting with him and then he goes and moves! What the heck? Actually, he was kinda a jerk sometimes. I hope you are nicer than he was. Hmmmm... This company some type of progressive one that promotes women into management jobs? Hmmm... I don't know what is happening around here. Maybe you can help me? Ya see, I got this installation job done by one of your competitors and I need some rapid fix the mistakes of others. You wouldn't have any ideas about fixing mistakes do you?? I hope you have an open mind and some suggestions on how to make it all work for the future. I am lost and at my limit today.
Pssst! You are cute and I really do love that smile. Is it new??
You are looking amazing!!!

Amazing? Thanks but I would swear that I look almost exactly like I used to. Of course I was a damn beautiful man, so... ;-)
OMG, I am SO glad I'm not the only one who has had those thoughts!
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back keep me here to wait for me so I don't go back out and miss myself when I return.
Looking great Melissa! You're really healing beautifully. What a change in a few weeks,Congrats.
I think what is amazing is how you have shared all of this with us. That smile -- there will be many more when all of the after effects have gone -- says it all.

I suppose it is quite remarkable feat to make someone appear just the same except a different gender! And that's exactly what is happening. One unfortunate side effect, it takes a darn long time!
And after all is done and face is healed, I still look into a mirror and see remnants of HIM, however, no one else does ! One quick way to solve it is to get arid of all the mirrors, but then it seems impractical. Then there is this more demanding way, in time we will be whole!
