This is dope as hell and super inspiring. It doesn't matter how long you've had your current body and how many changes it's gone through, you can still do what makes you feel better. It's about you, not about everyone else.

I'll always feel it's too late when I have to look at my mannish jawline and Adam's Apple. But I'm happy for this tree!

I’m sure you look just fine, but as someone who started transitioning late, I definitely sympathize feeling a little insecure.
Also, I hope this isn’t weird to ask, but is that you in the pfp?

It's about 70% me. I used some AI filters to help with my makeup (I just can't get the hang of doing my left side) and definitely my hair. I hadn't discovered how often you are supposed to shampoo it, or developed a good conditioner routine, so it had that bad frizz that nobody likes.

Well, fwiw if I ended up looking only a fraction of how good you do, I’d consider my transition to be very successful. I really don’t think you have any reason to worry, but again, I totally empathize with feeling self-conscious at times.

Well thank you, and don't be hard on yourself either. I came out at 16 and started HRT, and at 20 my parents were financially in a position to help with the major surgeries.

Thanks for the kind words!
I also wanted to say, and I hope this isn’t imposing or anything, but you probably do want to avoid displaying face pics like that on your profile or in posts (we do actually have a rule against self-doxxing for posts), just because we’ve occasionally had issues with doxxing and want to make sure everyone on the site stays safe and I hope that’s understandable

It’s never too late… Even after 3000 years :)

I’d like to be a tree
Not me breaking my egg the moment I moved countries and uprooted (heh get it) my whole life.
this is actually quite inspiring
