    Dw you still get lots of changes even a decade on. Still only beginning whippersnapper

    And yeah part of maturing as a trans person is getting better, understanding the struggle to get there, and helping people in worse positions

      Yeah? I suppose I don’t personally know anyone really further along than 3 years so I don’t honestly know. I know there’s still a lot of shaping and what have you left, but idk, I’m not sure what else to expect?

        Facial changes, breast development, fat redistribution continue 10+ years on. My cheeks got bigger for instance, had a boob growth spurt at 10 years hrt randomly, went up a full cup at same weight. For reference I transitioned at 19 and I’m old as fuck now

        2 years makes me think “ah so cute baby trans” tbh meow-hug

          Do you think breast growth can still happen if it stalled after 6 months HRT? Like I haven’t had any growth since then and now I’m at 2 years and 2 months. At this point I kind of hope not as I’m hoping to get a BA within a years time😩

          Also, when did you start feeling settled in your transition? I started at 19 too and I seem to pass now, but every day I still worry about getting clocked and what people think of me😩 I also still quite dislike my own appearance😖 I feel like I’m always chasing the next surgery or some other thing.

            It took me a long time to not be so jumpy around cissies. Like 8 years? I also have major issues with anxiety so

            It took me 2 yrs to pass so a lot of that was in my head

            As for breast growth, its kinda eldritch and hard to say, its different per person. I will say that weight cycling seems to trigger growth (gaining a lot of weight, losing some, etc)

            Also breast aug (fat transfer and implants) seem to cause breast growth in some people well after the fact.

              Yaah it feels so random, but mostly it just feels like HRT does nothing for me😖 I am thinking of doing an extreme form of weight cycling by getting to an underweight BMI and then taking pioglitazone and putting on like 10-20 lbs🤔

          Gods, I hope that it still shows with my aging. I turn 35 here in a few days and I just don’t want to think about it. And I hope that getting top surgery now won’t screw with any future breast development, but it’s necessary cause they refuse to fill in and kinda just want to grow and droop. I hate it.

        Also, I look forward to aging. I genuinely enjoy seeing an older femme me. I feel like its not something discussed much.

        The achey bones kinda suck tho

          Ah fuck, this is so fuckin based cat-vibing I decided long ago that aging is Fine and Normal and Good Even, so I wouldn’t stress about it. I feel like this sort of insight is EXACTLY the kind of shit that I’ve found lacking in other trans spaces. Rad.
