First day of life up until 6th grade 

Jumped all the way to Freshman year of High School

Then I cut my hair Junior year, why did I do that

Slowly it started growing back and then….

I finally felt comfortable to express myself (the picture on the left was my debut)

At this point in my transition I am 6 months into HRT

A year on HRT

Over a year and a half on hormones. My transition hasn’t been the clearest path but I am so happy that I am on it.

Update:

2 years since my coming out 

2 years on hrt

2.3 years on hrt

2 and a half years on hormones 

Its been a while since I’ve done an update so here it goes

At this point I am 3 years into my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I’m thriving. 

These pictures were taken days apart and I am 3 and a half years into my medical transition (The picture on the right was also posted by Instagram on all their major social media handles attached with an interview I did with them for International Women’s Month)

During this time I was 4 years into HRT. Clearly living for it.

I am currently 4 and a half years into HRT, 5 years into socially transitioning, 6 years into when i first came out to my community around me and I’m loving life more than I ever thought I would. 

I need to save that post to remind myself that
“Heaven needs time to render”.
SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!!

Oh my god she is so pretty

!!!!!! She is so pretty YOU GO GIRL

This is me. My name is Gemma and I’m a transgender woman.

When the first picture was taken, I didn’t believe in myself. I lived a charmed life, but I was never able to achieve anything more then fleeting happiness. That was two years ago.

Now, I am living my dreams. I have a successful career at an amazing workplace. I moved out of my parent’s house. I’m living full time as a happy and proud woman, unashamed of my past and excited for my future.

Anyone who feels like they can’t achieve their dreams needs to listen: You dreams are valid, and possible. Commit to achieving your goals and don’t let your past hold you back. When I started down this road I was terrified and never believed I’d be able to survive transition, but look at me now!

I’m 27 and I’m just starting my life. And I couldn’t be happier. :D

I’ve posted these before, but it seems especially relevant and a little more important now.  

I started HRT at 29 after a lot of hard living.

Trans girls:  It’s never too late to transition.  Don’t give up.

Scary monsters  (◡‿◡✿)

People turning into scary monsters (⊙‿⊙✿)

People turning into scary monsters and suffering from crippling crises of identity while struggling to maintain their sense of self worth and convince people not to be scared of them (ʘ‿ʘ✿)

This has been floating around my computer’s memory for a LONG time, and I finally got around finishing it. It’s not the most clever concept, or the cleanest color… but I’m just happy I got it done.
