Photo Documentation: 1 Year

Well, it hasn't been 1 year yet - technically. It will be 1 year on December 11th. Close enough!

Onwards.

Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution):


Definitely more fat distribution to my tummy. I shaved it recently for fun, but the hair has grown back and seems to be getting thicker every week!

Leg (hair growth + muscle development)



Knee moisturizer is in order. Also - more hair! Woo!

    Mel, you look fabulous!

    Can I ask how long it took your monthly cycle to stop on 100mg every two weeks? I am taking almost double that, approx 90 mg a week (hard to measure but it's half of one line on the syringe less than 100 bcz my levels were high) I may want to ask my Dr to decrease more, but I'm afraid of the monthly beast coming back. I only got it once after starting T and I like not having to deal with that bs.

    I'll be posting some pics on my blog next week. more before and after comparisons. Stay tuned!

    BTW your acne is pretty mild. I'm just starting to break out on my face a bit, but for months I've been breaking out alot on my back/chest/shoulders and it's pretty bad. Do you have body acne as well?

    Thanks, Jess!

    I dug back in my blog a bit via the "menstrual cycle" label and it looks like my last semblance of a period was on February 27th, and I had my first injection on December 11th. So about 3 months.

    With acne, YES I do have it on my shoulders, back, and some on my chest. I've also been getting acne on my neck, which I hadn't experienced before. It's not too awful - I know there's acne back there, but they're not painful boils or anything. I have an acne body wash I use in the shower with an exfoliating scrub that helps, and I use a little bit of benzoyle peroxide every other day.

    I'm excited for your pictures!

PART 1: Double Incision Mastectomy with Nipple Grafts by Dr. Cori Agarwal Surgery Photos (EXTREMELY GRAPHIC)

Earlier today I learned that Dr. Cori Agarwal’s medical secretary would come in to take photographs during my 3 hour surgery on August 11, 2011. As a warning, these photos are extremely graphic , but also incredibly informative and educational. This is why I’m displaying them after the “read more” button below instead of as a photo gallery.

Exciting News from Utah!

Exciting things are happening in Salt Lake City, Utah! Last night there was a panel specifically about employment discrimination based on gender identity and a proposed diversity bill. It received a fair amount of media coverage, like this article in the Salt Lake Tribune: After losing her job, transgender Utahn fights workplace discrimination Salt Lake City resident Candice Metzler wanted to let her work colleagues see the transition she already had begun in her personal life. Known to them as a man, Metzler wore mascara, eyeliner and white-tipped acrylic nails to a company barbecue.

The above coverage even ended with: "if you're an employer open to hiring transgender individuals" there's a link on their site to DiversityJobs.com ! Just 6 months ago the bills und...
