1.5 Years of HRT: A Journey of Transformation and Joy

Witness the incredible transformation of a person who has undergone 1.5 years of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), showcasing how life has become full of color and joy. This collage of three photographs captures the essence of their journey and the happiness that radiates from within.

In the left image, we see a close-up portrait of the individual with long, straight brown hair, smiling warmly at the camera. Dressed in a black shirt, the plain wooden wall background highlights the simplicity of this initial stage.

The middle image reveals a vibrant change. The person, now with striking pink hair, is seated on a wooden chair in a neutral-colored room. They exude confidence and joy, wearing a dark purple satin blouse paired with a multicolored skirt. Their hands rest gently under their chin, and their smile lights up the room. The black Mary Jane-style shoes add a touch of elegance to the ensemble.

The right image, taken from a slightly different angle, continues to showcase the individual's radiant transformation. Seated on the same wooden chair, with hands resting on crossed legs, the background features a dining table with chairs. The outfit remains the same, emphasizing the consistency of their newfound style and confidence.

- "Awww I wish I was that pretty :3"

- "Congrats to you being able to be you in fullness and happiness, sis 🙌"

- "It's pride month. I proclaim that selfies of happy people are allowed. Not only for this month, but all year for someone that just wants to be a better version of themselves."

- "Love the matching hair and outfit! Happy that you feel like your true self!"

- "YESSSS, get it girl!! Woman to woman, may I suggest raking those curls a few times with your fingers to give it more of a modern, less perfect vibe. (Ignore me if the retro set is what you were going for!)"

- "Bottom surgery, that takes balls."

- "Just stunning! Wishing you a fast recovery so you can go out and show-off those good looks 😉"

- "I may not be able to relate or understand, but I can see happiness when it's in front of me, and that's what it's all about :3"

- "I’m a cis gendered woman and I love being androgynous; I love that trans women are so much more feminine than I am, and I love spending time with them because I get to feel like a manly woman (because let’s face it, I’m a pretty masculine woman and I love that about myself, lol). My Dad is so funny because he keeps trying to tell me I should want to be feminine, but I prefer being a masculine woman. It confuses him, but he’s still my best friend. I love my Dad."

- "Congratulations! My daughter started her hrt 1.5 yrs. ago as well! Being able to live comfortably in your own skin is a wonderful thing! You look fabulous!"

- "You look great, lady! Love your hair! <3"
