1 Year on HRT - and some Q&A + a little of my life story

Sorry for the low energy, I just got back from a 7 hour drive that wiped me out. Thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin and to the one year mark!
I do need some of your help, the thumbnail theme for the videos this last year had it slowly go from black and white to full color, now what do I do?

    It was thanks to the many trans women who came before that shared their journey with the internet that gave me the currage to be myself. I aim to give back

    I def support the glasses and “curtains” as you say. Honest though you lived in the UK and was amazed on how you stood up the 5 or so years wait list for HRT, well you always learn something new about your fav trans KZreadr. Discovered you on week 2 or so and can’t believe how much you’ve changed it’s amazing, maybe your camera is lying but you look so pretty and cute, i normally minimise the videos and keep scrolling mindlessly except for yours I love your mannerisms while telling about yourself. Def mic lying too cause I hear a pretty woman with a “cold”nvm. Nice vid as always, don’t be so hard on yourself you’re gonna still see changes at year 10, just because you’re on cross hormones doesn’t mean you don’t grow and evolve. You’ll get older in a woman’s way and that comes with them perks, you’ll see someday you won’t have a single non biased complaint about your looks and realise it’s just your way of trying harder and harder every time, which is not a bad thing if you keep it humble. I live in Spain, the wait list here it’s 1 year or so, had a trans law semi approved but got sent back from one of the two parties leading, been like that for a year now and still stopped. I started a month ago and as you I have to do it or keep trying to kms there was no other way, the more I pushed it back the more it came back. Some day all of a sudden it started hurting like a knife in my chest, waiting was pretty painful too, here it’s all conservatives and little support outside the two main big cities, might flee to the US. Happy now looking great too, running a lot shedding hair and weight. Love ♥️ have a nice week gorgeous

    Thank you so much for sharing and all of your kind words. I've always wanted to know what Spain is like, and while a year wait is better than 5, that's still a long time. What was your experience with that? I'm thankful to live in a good state in the US that is pretty trans affirming even if there are parts I feel unsafe existing in. I'm glad I can bring you joy, even if I am a little boring

    It was actually pretty bad because I didn’t know till the end how long was gonna be. They always gaslighted me into thinking I had to be thankful cause help was coming. BS. They made me go back a lot of times to ask and beg for my effing appointment to come. I live in the south which now is the reddest state. As said we have a law soon to be approved but as me got rejected and put back for a year, I came out a few weeks before it became public. Call it predestination 😂 People is not as accepting cause of the right wind discourse and the latest trend in Europe for the right wind to rise so it’s a weird time to be. Your videos always helped me I always loved so much your content from the start and yeah you’re hitting goals for me. Also progesterone if you decide to take it gonna make all the guys queue 😳 not available here sadly. Might end up there, safer and cooler Thanks for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day

    Thanks for sharing this my story was pretty much the same (all of it). I wish there was more knowledge on how bad it gets for trans people just because of fear, which is usually unjustified because people are in general more accepting. You just have to choose who to confide in carefully. But yes being a woman is amazing ❤😊

    Before I transitioned I also had a really deep voice and one of my big worries was that I would always have a deep voice, but thankfully my voice is much better. It's still not the "perfect female voice" but I've come to learn that there is no such thing. I know many AFAB that have a deeper voice than me and my voice doesn't clock me. You got this! It takes time and effort but eventually it becomes your natural speaking voice. I honestly don't thing about it anymore and it sounds just fine to others
