Congrats girl you look incredible! The weight loss is one thing but you can tell that you’re happier in the last pictures. Your skin is literally glowing and your eyes are popping

Sidenote: I always love seeing people who discover their trans identity later on in life

Best of luck on your journey from an ally. My son has been in this journey for several years now, only reaffirms in me my support for him and others.

u/NovaRain84 11h ago

Glad you’re able to support him 🫂 🏳️‍⚧️ my parents and sister abandoned me. Thank you for loving your child. 💜

u/SteviaCannonball9117 11h ago

I'm really sorry to hear that. My partner showed me her "found family" - people that support her and love her when her real family fell short. May you find this as well.

•

u/NovaRain84 11h ago

Thanks. I have had the same two besties since I was 12, they are brothers. They and their parents are my family and love and accept me.

u/grizlena 9h ago

Hell yeah, alcoholic life is a miserable one. I’m 101 days sober today.

Can I ask about the hair transplant? How much does that cost and how was the process?

•

u/NovaRain84 9h ago

That link in my post is live, I update the document every 90 days. Next update is mid November and will have a full write up with pics of the procedure and recovery. If you’re interested.

My guide also has an entire section dedicated to hair regrowth that is all evidence based if you want to try to things too.

I went to Venus hair restoration in Farmington Hills, MI. It was $8900. It’s an 11 hour day and you’re awake the whole time.

Recovery is uncomfortable, ugly, and then the hair that is transplanted falls out after a few weeks. I was unlucky enough to also have hair fall out from the donor region (the area they took grafts from). I’m 3-4 months the donor region shock loss and the transplanted hairs will all start growing. By 6-7 months from now it’ll be short but filled in.

u/angery-borg 11h ago

You look amazing and have very naturally feminine facial features

•

u/NovaRain84 11h ago

Thank you. The first time I wished I was a girl was 1992, I was 8. I was raised in a not great home and we didn’t talk about gender, sex, orientation, etc.

I spent my whole life assuming all boys secretly wished they were girls. Who would want to be a man? 😂

Anyway. I am so happy to see her in the mirror and photos, finally. 💜

•

u/NovaRain84 12h ago

Thank you. It’s slowly getting easier. Although this exact moment is not so great. After the transplant all my hair fell out (normal) it’ll take 3-4 months to start growing so… beanies 24/7 it is!

My heart feels all warm and happy and genuinely filled to the brim with these good things-all bc of your share. - I am complete for the day, knowing that goodness and perseverance to change IS possible and that the beauty of authenticity DOES exist and can be slowly unwrapped.

This means so much for so many people-who are going through life transformations of all sorts!

Thank you!

This might sound tacky, but if no one else has said it... I "know" they're thinking it. You had amazing nipples as a guy! I would love to see them if you would ever share them with us down the road, when you're ready to show the world the new you!!! If not, I'll respect that and I won't mention it again. 🫠
