awwwwww. thank you. :3 … i hope you don’t mind i’m making this answer public, to help counterbalance the rest of the asks.
and, really, i have no problem with sex and such questions, but it just feels like no one’s even paying attention to who i am. like, if you’re going to send me sexual asks, at least know a little something about me, who i am, what i like, what i might like to hear from you. it makes it so much more sexy.
since you ask: i started transitioning in november 2012. i’ve been sort of on the fence for years, but i finally made up my mind that i needed to do something at the beginning of 2012, and november is when i started hormones, a week before my 30th birthday.
the hormones are wonderful; they have put my mind at ease and made me feel more at home in this body. the bad effects basically are that i’ve gotten much more emotional than i ever was, and i want to be held and consoled a lot … and also, the longer i’m on hormones, the more i want this transition to be complete. like, the more i become more feminine, the more i want.
i don’t regret my decision one bit. i am still quite upset that i waited as long as i did to transition, and i mourn the fact that i spent pretty much my entire 20s feeling uncomfortable and unhappy. i worry about some things: will i be pretty? was i too old for the hormones to really work? but i have high hopes that i’ll turn out quite pretty in the end, and that i’ll have the confidence to live my life as i’ve wanted to for years.
everyone is different in terms of how long it takes. as a general rule, the younger you are, the better the results. but that’s a general rule. at nearly six month, i’m still just getting started. most people i know started seeing noticeable changes between six and 12 months. i’ve had little changes (chest tenderness, growing; loss of sex drive to some degree; my orgasms, when i have them, which is infrequently, are now dry), but hopefully there is much more to come. the biggest changes occur over a period of about two years. i am most anxious to see some more softening of my facial features. i am starting to look more like a girl, but i really hope to look so much more feminine. i just want to be able to blend in with all the other women out there.
i have amazing friends, and much of my family is very supportive. unfortunately, i had to move 230 miles from where i used to live because i took a new job, and so it has been lonely these last nine months in a different city, and i am shy right now and not great at getting out and talking to people. but i have met a few good friends and i am hoping for that to continue. and i see my old friends whenever i can.
thanks for your interest. i love your blog. :3 and, like i said, i don’t mind some playful sexual comments, and i post plenty of sexual/sensual stuff on my blog. … i guess i’d just like people to remember that they’re talking to an actual person here, with likes and dislikes and feelings.
