yay let's go! another six months!!
Here's March first. I tried to start running again but failed. Got misgendered a bunch too. Honestly I was quite tired a lot of the time, but still had some silliness in me.
I had switched to injections in mid-February and I stopped taking androcur in mid-March.

In response to this posttransition selfies thread
April: 20 months of HRT.
Continuing to improve my makeup skills. I started a new work training programme! Worked at a cafe the first week and had to stuff my hair into this little cap while wearing a workplace uniform. That was really scary, because my gender presentation now had to rely entirely on makeup, voice and the way I moved, while I simultaneously started using the women's locker room.
But I made it! The staff at this place clearly had a strategy in place to make me feel safe. I only really got misgendered by three people (out of dozens and dozens of other programmes participants) and the staff meticulously corrected them each time, sometimes even inserting themselves into conversations just to gender me correctly in front of people who didn't "get it".
This was my first experience with meeting new people after fully transitioning socially 8 months earlier. The confidence boost I got was huge! 🥰

May, 21 months. I turned 41 years old! There was work training, but now at a car wash. And I almost reached my pre-transition weight again, which unfortunately made most of my clothes impossible to wear.
