February 1986 (27 years old)
A Tale of Two Photos

Back in 1986 when I first tried to transition, I despaired I would always never be pretty, that I would be too male, that I would never pass as a born (with a vagina) female. Between not having any hope and the barrage of hateful commentary from the world, I first gave up on that transition and I nearly gave up on my life.

I wish I could have sent myself an email from the future (not that we had a real Internet then) telling me to be patient, not listen to the haters and stay strong: I would become a "passable" woman way beyond what I ever dreamed possible. My FFS was the last major step of my transition. All that remained was the facelift I got from Dr. Meltzer in 2008 to tighen up the skin loosened by my FFS in 2005. _______________________________________
