Stef, I've had jaw surgery. Mine was double jaw surgery to correct a congenital deformity. Even though most people didn't think I looked off because they were use to that face but for me, I couldn't wait to get the jaw surgery done. Every time I saw myself in the mirror, all I saw was my buck teeth, over growth in the upper jaw and I couldn't close my lips. I had to wait until I was in my 30s to get it done because of the cost. Paying the money and growing through the pain was WORTH EVERY SINGLE MOMENT AND PENNY! I can't wait to see you in the body you want because you deserve nothing less.
i've had the same surgery! i was only 14 (in belgium surgeries get paid back) but i COULDN'T BE HAPPIER with the result! i'm finally feeling comfortable in my own body :)
I'm still obsessed with your magical hair. 💜💙
I love hearing updates about your transition! I am not transgender myself, though I am very interested in what have to say and what you go through as a trans person. Congrats on reaching the 6 month milestone. 💕
Me too!
Same here!
me too! Educating ourselves ftw!
Me too! :)
I'm also not transgender but this series is really interesting and I'm glad it's making her happy :D
I'm so jealous of her hair 😭
Same
ikr
Lyric K. Screenwriter, Pls Invest! Realy?
Same😍
The colour ?
Honestly I am super happy that you are gonna take us through the whole process. As the mother of a MTF transchild, your videos help me understand her better and what she is gonna have to through. I want to Thank You from the bottom of my heart for doing these videos.
Hair goals. Makeup goals. Personality goals. Stef, you are an awesome person. I'm happy for you and I hope that your surgeries go well and you recover quickly. Just hope everything will be what you need it to be.
"mom i've shown you her before"
"OHH this is jenna?"
"no mom this is the girl who described the difference between cis and trans"
"oh well she reminds me of jenna marbles"
HAHAHS
BOOOO JENNA
What does Jenna even do? I've never bothered to check her out tbh
I wanted to tell you that I'm so honored that you're sharing your story with the people on the Internet, myself being one of those people. I'm so incredibly happy for you, and the fact that your journey is going well and things are starting to look up in your life. I love watching your videos and hearing your story. Congratulations on the success your having 😘
Steph is such a beautiful person. I don't watch all of her videos but I love keeping up with her amazing journey.
I'm a cis woman (I think that's how it's spelled, excuse me if it's wrong 😣) but I've watch every video you've ever made, from the beginning of your transition and I really enjoy every one. You've been so strong through this whole journey so far and though you have a long way to go til you're where you want to be, I know you'll come through this will fire works. You're truly an inspiring woman hon! I'm so happy you do these videos, I've really enjoyed watching your progress and you've really educated me on the subject of trans people. I know some people may disagree with your choices for surgeries but the way I look at it, is the same way I view body modification (like tattoos, piercings, plastic surgery, scarification, etc...) . People are going to do what they want/need to do to be happy with their body and most people won't bat an eye at them. So to anyone who disagrees with your choice of surgery, don't worry about her when you don't worry about anyone who goes to get a breast reduction or lip injection or even a tattoo. It's all the same at the end of the day, we all just want to be happy in our own skin ❤
You do you darling! I'm so proud of you and all you've accomplished so far!
Your hair is so beautiful! I wish i was brave enough to go purple! Super stunning!
Do it! You are brave enough! x x x
I'm dying my daughter's hair purple, the day after school gets out for the summer! (Stupid dress codes.)
Proud Zionist When I was 14, I had this whiter than white blonde hair...I asked my dad permission to put in a few streaks of pink over the summer holidays. He said yes...I got carried away, made a few messy blobs and thought 'bugger it' and died my whole hair...
When school term was back in, it was STILL a candy floss pink colour and wouldn't come out for months. The school was NOT happy.
This was in the 90's when having coloured hair made you a 'freak' now, everyone has coloured hair, it's the norm!
I don't get why schools are still fussy over this, the colour of your hair has no reflection on your intelligence or your ability to concentrate..it's ridiculous.
I agree with you that it's ridiculous. Our plan is to ombre the ends of her hair, up to about her shoulders. By the end of the summer she will be in desperate need of a good trim.. Her hair is down to her waist now, but the ends are really split. If we ruin that part of her hair, it's no big deal to cut it off later..
In one way I totally agree with what your saying. But looking trough a constitutions way of seeing things I can see why they make a fuss over it. A lot of workplaces wont hire you if you don't fit to a certain standard or have to many showing tattoos/piercing or whatever. And as well as it is silly and dumb (considering all these thing may not affect you brain or work) the policy of how you look is not directed to a certain person. It is directed to maintain the "look" of the company. And just as unfortunate as it is we do live in a very shallow and superficial world that is pretty much owned by companies. And schools are like a workplace too, for young people. Where they go to learn. So if you see it that way it makes more sense. All though it is still filled with dubble standards.
We do see a slow change in these policys all over the world and more work on this needs to be done. But none the less if you do want go to a school/work and be respected by the company as an individual all you need to do is to try to fit in to their standards. In my opinion that is not a big sacrifice. As long as they don't tell you what to do when you are off the clock. Then they can go shove a screwdriver in their corporate asshole.
a goddess??? yes.
Looks like the girl in the movie Home
your hard work voice training has totally paid off!
Congratulations, Stef!! I'm so proud of you for realizing what you need to be happy, and going through with it! You're a very beautiful person!
Much respect for the path you're headed, it is yours and one that you will feel good about.
"Dry husk to a buttery biscuit" 😂 This is hilarious but true
You are beautiful sweetheart but, I'm not the one who has to look in the mirror everyday, If FFS is what you want to do, do it 1000% and ignore the rest. Your happiness is important to me, and I'm in your corner no matter what you decide to do. I feel honoured that you are taking us all along on this journey, to become your happy self, without limitations. You inspire many to become their happy selves not just in the trans community but to those coming from all walks of life. Love you Stef x
Thank you Steph! For being so open and honest you are not just helping youth you are helping people of all ages like me, and I am 39! It took me till February of this year to start talking about who I was. I just wanted to know how much you helped.
Congratulations BreadMom! I'm so happy for you. Such a positive soul like you deserves this happiness :)
Thank you for the update, Stef. I hope you are much more happier within yourself at this point compared to six months ago. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Stef! I'm super forgetful as well, and I find it super helpful to use the calender and alarm on my phone. I set events (appointments, etc), and I make sure my phone notifies me the day before and right before the event. it definitely helps with my forgetfulness :)
Great idea
Me too! Terrible memory. I have forgotten what I was doing WHILE doing it. It sucks so much. Anyway, talk with your doctor about using Ginko Biloba. When I was able to use it, it was like I had my old near-perfect memory. Sadly, I had to stop taking it because interfered with new meds I needed to take. I don't think it works for everyone, so if your doctor okays it, try it. It's worth a shot. =)
Stef, I love how eloquent you are. I've been watching your videos for a while and I love how respectful and cautious you are with your words. I wish more people on RUclips were like that.
I know you say now that you'll be recording and such after your surgery and we'll be along for the process which would be nice but just know that you can change your mind about that and shouldn't feel bad if you do. I've had over 7 surgeries in the past 2 years and i definitely wanted to be left alone each time. Either way I support you! ♡♡♡
Omg every time I open up one of your estrogen update video and I hear how much your voice has changed, I always cry because of how happy and proud I am of you for following through with yourself and making your physical match your mental...I hope everything is absolutely amazing and everything continues to be amazing! Love you Stef!
Does anybody know which lashes she is wearing in this video? You look so beautiful Stef and you seem just like the sweetest little fairy princess! I love following your transition and see how you just glow more and more 💗💗
These are by BabyBatBeauty!
Thank you so much
I can't believe it's six months already! I'm following your channel since pretty much the first videos, and I can't believe it's been so long! You have become not only my favorite youtuber but also a very special and inspiring person for me. I'll bring this to my life, i'm very glad to be part of this bread family.I really hope I can meet you someday. I wish you all the lucky of the world and much much love Stef. Kisses and Hugs from Brazil!
i hope this doesnt come out wrong but i dont always watch your videos because im not really into beauty gurus and i also am a cis female so i cant always relate to your struggles. i do come back to your channel sometimes because i cant resist your cute, bubbly additude, your optimism and your kindness and acceptance. i have been following you for a while, actually just before you came out, so bravely, as a transgender woman. Everytime i come back you look more and more lovely and sweet and your voice gets higher and higher. i respect you so much. i am so proud of you and extremely happy that this new you reflects the you that you have always been on the inside. im trying hard to word this correctly, so i am sorry if i didnt. best wishes. ❤️
I find you very peaceful and positive to watch, you just radiate a vibe that is so lovely. You're a special kind of person. ❤️
your voice is so soothing, you should read audiobooks
I've always thought the same thing. I have trouble sleeping a lot, and I want her to read me a bedtime story. lol
Thanks to the youtube recommendation bar, I've been rewatching some of your old videos and it made me think about how far you have come and I can't believe that almost a year has passed since I found you and that half a year has passed since the beginning of your transition. It seems like only yesterday I happened to click on your waardenberg syndrome video and found an entire channel worth watching. I can say that I have literally watched every one of your videos, but what I really want to tell you is that you are a beautiful human being and an inspiration to us all. You have brought so much positivity and happiness into my life and I just want to let you know how amazing you are. Love you breadmom
Contour Corsets has some of the best, more durable waist training corsets ever. They are very expensive though, like $700-1000, but from what I hear, it's worth it.
Most*
Any quality corset is going to be in that price range. If you're going to pay that kind of money though, make sure that it is custom made for you from scratch, with many fittings during the process. Lace Embrace in Canada, and Dark Gardens in San Francisco are two of the best out there. Years later, my corsets are still in near mint condition.
Stef, you are so well-spoken & you do such a fantastic job of explaining your personal experience! Lovely to see your 6-month update & know that there's lots more to follow. I hope that anyone finding voice training challenging to do on their own also considers seeing a speech-language pathologist (SLP) who is trained in trans voice; the reason being, to prevent unintentional vocal misuse and injury.
So early that 1080p isn't even available
Same
Stef I can't believe it's already been 6 months! I've been following your transition journey since the beginning and I'm so happy for you,,, you inspire me so much!
One thing that often confuses me is how you can ever misgender a stranger ? I don't say hey girl or hey boy to a stranger lol I'd just say hi, thanks, etc. to be safe you can always just say sweetie if you're a waitress or something because that's neutral.
I understand what you mean - i always use gender neutral terms for strangers. my grandma has this weird habit though where she'll meet one of my friends and be like "what a cute girl you are!" or when complimenting someone "you're such a nice gentlemen," etc etc. I think it's just because she's older so she doesn't understand that gender is pretty much a social construct. I also have friends from the south of the US who say "ma'am" and "sir" a lot, I guess it's just a regional thing for them.
probably people saying sir and ma'am.
Yeah I don't really wonder what's in everybody's pants as I go through the day lol they're a person, that's all that matters
It can also depend on the language, I think, in mine (Czech) we have something called verb conjugation and also pronouns change, so it is far more difficult to talk "neutral" - it would sound strange or almost impolite. I must also confess I sometimes confuse genders, when I do not know the people and it is not really obvious. I do not want to sound mean or anything, but it is hard to be always on the alert.
+goodstorylover that makes a lot of sense, in America though I guess it's a lot easier because we don't have gendered language barriers
Wow... I have been jumping around watching your videos (I'm totally captivated by your eyes) and it really is a huge difference with the hormones. I watched the video about Waardburg (sp) syndrome and then this one, your voice an face shape is SO changes.
I am SO glad that you found a doctor and a country that allowed you to get the treatment you deserve. I hope everything goes smoothly for you
you are stunning, with and without makeup Stef! You are just the cutest little magical, purple nymph princess
Same
I want you to know that I support you fully and completely for the surgery! I have dysphoria problems too that luckily has lessened and I know the feeling all too well. I am extremely happy for you on this process and journey and I will not feel different about you for doing this, or when you feel swollen, bruised and painful, or afterwards. I have so many personal experiences I relate to in this that I don't know what to say but I really want you to know that you have my love and support all the way!
Eeee!! Good luck on you ffs! :D
So I'm a cis woman, but I have darker, thicker body hair and shave every other day when I know I want to wear shorts/swimsuits/dresses/etc. A long time ago, my sister recommended using aloe gel (the one you usually get to soothe sunburns) and use it as an after shave lotion and it really helps with itching and irritation.
Any rate, I'm so so happy for you and your accomplishments and I love your videos in general. Hope everything goes smoothly as possible. *rapid fire kissy noises*
maybe i schould try that haha my legs hate shaving :/
I'm so happy for the positive changes you are experiencing, and can't wait for you to get the surgeries that you want/choose. I love that crowdfunding is made easy nowadays, and tried to help in the little way I can. You're amazing and so inspiring! Hugs from Sweden! 💕
EYES! HOLY SHIT YOUR EYES ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL 💙
Thank you Stef for being yourself you have helped me a lot. 3 days ago I started my hormone therapy as well, although I'm not mtf, I'm ftm but still you have helped me and many others.
You are awesome 😊
Hey stef, when you get your surgeries, will you do a before and after picture?
I don't watch your videos for advice, I watch them to listen to your voice. it's so sweet and kind. I watch them while I try to fall asleep and I love what you talk about and how you think 💖
My FTM nephew has recently started on testosterone and I told him, "I want you to be happy but take care of your body and stick to the proper dosage." I've heard of trans men & women having organ damage due to incorrect dosing and he only started at 16 (now 17). He doesn't really have a "parent" and we (his uncles) are too far away to see him regularly. Have studies been done on how testosterone treatments can affect a still developing body❓If anyone knows I'd appreciate the information. Thanks! ❓🙂
As far as I'm aware there's no damage directly from testosterone. However because your body chemistry become male, any risks for illnesses that effect males more increases such as heart disease. Other than that any other things you can find on searches are about women with high testosterone. Overall his happiness will be greater so its a good thing. I wish him look for his transition! :)
Testosterone is most commonly given in ampoules, which are injections given by a medical professional :)
+Robert TheRobot Thanks for that. He's had an incredibly hard life at such a young age. I know this won't fix all his problems but it will certainly make him much happier, already seems to be helping.
+Matthew Scott well im glad he can be who he needs to be and he can now live a better life! You all seem very supportive as well will which mean the world to him even if you don't realise :)
Matthew, please make sure your nephew is aware that when testosterone is added to the body, some of it will get turned into estrogen. He'll probably need an estrogen blocker at some point if he's not already on it. Different doctors use different dosages, but the most important thing is his blood levels, so as long as his bloodwork is in line with what he and the doc agree on then the dosage doesn't matter as much.
6 months already! I'm so glad you're doing what makes you happy, and that you allow us to be a part of your journey
Just a suggestion: as a viewer, I find the background music distracting and unnecessary. I think you can do without it.
yh
I didn't even notice the music til I read this comment..
She just needs to make it quieter in my opinion
Really? I don't know, I like it.
I personally like it
thank you so much of your message about how before you start taking your medication you can worry slightly about how the need to take it/when you need to take it etc might kind of rule your life but in reality taking it actually helps free up your life in so many different ways, it's such an important thing to keep in mind
Slippery in the shower? Are you sure it's the hormones? Perhaps you're officially becoming a mermaid XD joking aside, many congratulations and thank you for sharing your personal experience. I'm not trans, but I find it very educational, and I'm sure it's helpful for many trans people out there, expecially very young ones. You're an amazing young lady!
All the support in the world to you from a stranger in Australia. It makes me feel good to see someone so bravely pursuing their dream. I sincerely and deeply hope that the surgery goes perfectly and the results are all you dreamed!
Stef, does it feel like being stuck in a really realistic, lucid dream of being in a body that doesn't feel right?
Btw love you and have been tuned in to your life journey since spring of last year! xo
+kimberleygrace unless this is something you feel phisically, maybe its dissociation,, but im not a medical professional! This is just from personal experience since I dissociate a lot, but maybe you should look it up, if you feel like you relate a lot to the symptoms maybe look for a psychologist!
Hope I was of some use!
Actually, I am asking Stef if my description helps because in the video she was having difficulty putting words to it.
It was not about me.
I'm so proud of you Stef!! All of the best wishes for you in the future and your surgeries!! ❤️
You have my dream hair😍 mine is green lol💖💚
Lol I have green hair too :D
mine was blue, then teal, now green 😭
Mine is white
You are always so full of good info Stef! You are doing a very good service to all.
One problem, not really mentioned here, but could have a major effect is mental abuse your parents put you through, and not necessarily related to being trans. As far as I know, my dad never knew I was trans. His thing was to tell me how worthless I was, a drain on his finances, that I could never do anything right. Then add to that, getting sent to a Christian school, and getting bullied for being homosexual, and never mind that it's not true, and having that feed back into the whole your worthless abuse. My mother admitted to me that sending me to a Christian school was the worst mistake she ever made with me. She also had to recover from my Dad's abuse directed at her. If you are in this type of situation, go get help. It's not your fault you were abused. No, you don't become transgender by being abused, but it may lead to more abuse because people fear what is different, or the fear of the unknown. I've had it happen that I got barred from a restaurant that I like because one family thought I was after their 5 year old daughter. Had the family, and the manager of the restaurant only known, it was the manager I was chasing, and not the little girl.
Sorry that you went through that but we support Stef fully as does the rest of her close family.Sending hugs to you.
Hope you're doing better now. God bless.
OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BABY😭 you've come so far, you're one of my favourite people on RUclips. you're so genuine and it's appreciated so much, your little buns are here for you ever step of the way💝 lots of love from a vancouverite !!
your voice got higher, the pitch is higher or is it just me?
Well, she has mentioned voice training quite a bit!
3:36, she talks about misgendering as well!
She literally mentions her voice changes and the video she made about it and comments like yours IN THIS VIDEO
It's her voice training! She rocked it! Her voice sounds amazing, right? You should look at her video that she linked about it.
|:l
I love how positive and easy going your personality is. You're beautiful!!
just would like to inform people, gender dysphoria and body dysphoria (or it's correct term: body _dysmorphia_ disorder) are not the same. while gender dysphoria is experienced exclusively by trans people (though it is *not* a requirement for being trans as there _are_ trans people who aren't dysphoric about their gender) body dysmorphia disorder or BDD can be experienced by both trans and cis people. BDD is a mental illness that falls under the category of obsessive compulsive disorder. the easiest way to explain BDD is if you have something about your body/appearance that you don't like, e.g the shape of your nose, you will be _obsessed_ with it. that is all that you could think about and the obsession is unhealthy as it may leads to risky and impulsive behaviour such as trying to "reshape" your nose. methods used to do so can vary from just picking off the skin to even break your own nose and "mold" it. this disorder cannot be cured with just having a surgery to reshape your nose as the obsession usually will always come back; there will _always_ be something wrong with your nose, so the best treatment would be therapy.
gender identity dysphoria, however, is also a mental illness that _can_ affects both physical and mental; also possible to affect only one of them. it varies from paranoia of being misgendered, discomfort with one's own identity (especially for those who are still closeted or out but face rejection) to the physical ones like your genitalia, chest, facial features, etc. this may sounds overlapping with BDD symptoms but while BDD needs treatment, usually for physical GID a surgery is enough. in GID, the _wrong_ is on your _body_ whereas in BDD, the _wrong_ is on your _mind_.
pkc1998ax thanks for educating us !
WOW! I accidentally clicked on one of your videos a year ago and today, accidentally, again. You have changed so much! I don't primarily mean your stronger female characteristics, but your whole presence is gleaming! I am so happy for you and wish you all the best.
Stef, can you please come do my makeup for me? I'm too incompetent to do it myself and I want to be as pretty as you 😍
I also cannot wait to support you through your recovery after you get your FFS and/or gender reassignment surgery. I cannot financially help, but hopefully I can emotionally help :) Love you
Yours is one of the absolute best transitions I've ever seen. You were definitely meant to have this journey and I'm so sooo proud it's going so well! 😍❤ I know it's a lot of work, money, effort, etc but you're doing the damn thing.
Omfg she said my birthday May 25th
Honestly so excited about your journey, I wish I could fast forward and see how it ends, but at the same time weirdly grateful to be here while it happens
you are DELICIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL
I absolutely LOVE these update videos! :) I find ALL the 'nitty gritty' details SO fascinating :D Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I look forward to being a part of this wild ride 💕 xxx
she sounds/looks like a lil elf aw
She has Waardenburg syndrome which makes her look like that.
***** im aware lmao
tea pp Aww ok I was just making sure. I do agree that she is cute af.
***** ^^
Awh you're right, she does look like a really cute elf/Cupid tbh
I could listen to you all day! You are just such a soothing, kind person. ❤️
10:34 While I think you look feminine already, and don't need the surgery on your face, that is just my opinion. You do you the way only you can do you.
I love following your transition and how you explain things, like voice training. I have followed the transition of Isabella Bunny Bennett for half a year as well, though she haven't made a video in a long time, and you both give me so much knowledge and joy. stay beautiful, stef!
does anyone know how tall stef is?
short. i think shes like 5'2? if i remember correctly? shes a smol bean
5.3 :)
+Chyna Bryan she's taller than me I'm like 5'0
Stef is 5'2"
+Catherine peloza omg she's so smoll
I've been following you since the beginning and I support you 100%. As a CIS woman I have PCOS which causes weight gain and hirsuitism. It's been a difficult road for me having hair growth on my face and body and I can deeply sympathize with you. I've been shaving my arms and face since I was 14. About 5 years ago I started laser on my face and it has changed my life. Luckily for most of my life I've been surrounded by kind understanding people who don't notice or mind my uncommon hairiness. I'll be here to support your journey. Xoxo
The end of your video really spoke to me, Im having a hard time recently and I just wanted to say thank you, and I LOVE YOU TOO!!! I really look up to you, and enjoy your videos!
Your hair changes nearly every episode I see, and every time I am blown away by how amazing it looks! You go, girl :D
You are so freaking courageous. I am so excited to see how everything goes in the future of your transition(and honestly can't wait to see what you look like with the FFS). Your transition has been one of the smoothest I have seen so far. Congrats!
You are actually so beautiful, Stef!!!! I just wanted to say I admire you so much and you're such an amazing and powerful woman and I'm so glad to have found you! You inspire me to embrace myself and not be afraid of who I feel I really am. You're truly an inspiration to me and I feel blessed to have discovered such a wonderful angel! ❤️
watching you grow these past six months has been amazing I'm so happy for you
I JUST found your channel and I just wanted to say it's really awesome you're putting all this out there and being so open and positive about your transition! As a trans man I get the basics but don't know a whole lot about what trans women are dealing with, so it's great to hear a bit about what life's like for you. Also your voice training is really impressive, your voice sounds wonderful!!
I really love watching you on your journey to get happy with yourself, it makes me so satifsied watching you get happier, keep fighting girl you're beautiful
Great update video! Thank you thank you for sharing ❤️ I am so excited you've got such a good chunk of your crowdfunding down; just one more step on your path. I am ever grateful to see your videos. Love you, Breadmom!
I really appreciate you. I love the way you express yourself and how you educate your audience. I've learned so much from your experiences, thank you for being so open and honest!
Thanks so much for your consistent honesty Stef! Also for the fascinating facts of the surgery- that sounds super intense, but I'm so excited that you're going for it!
I'm actually really excited for your surgery vlogs/livestreams! I'm not excited for you being in pain but I'm excited to see the results and your determination to power through it! I heard the shave is probably the worst one to recover from, but I'm sure you'll be able to take it no problem!
+Temple Of Azure Flame I've actually kept up with several mtf transgender women on RUclips and a few blog sites to see what kind of processes they go through, so I have an idea of the surgeries. I personally enjoy watching surgeries but what I'm the most excited about is how happy she is once everything is done and she's all recovered. That's probably my personal favorite part of it all.
I hope you get all the results you want Stef and that your dreams and things you want to accomplish in life come true! This is because you one hundred percent deserve to be happy and just know that I and many others support you! You are so beautiful Stef and I and I'm sure many many other people want you to be the happiest you can be!
you're always so careful not to offend anyone. and it is so lovely to see that. but just...make sure you're feelings on the matter are getting out there too, okay? sometimes people will complain, it's unavoidable. so at least say what you need to say.
it's been amazing watching you throughout your transition and I can remember the first videos from when you started t blockers. rock on you amazing woman
I am so happy to be able to follow you trough your transition and for you being so honest and informing!
Thank you for making the world a better place
I like the honesty, simplicity and candid approach to your video. Very informative.
I am very here for the post-surgery updates. It's fascinating in itself, and also very interesting when it involves a person you're emotionally invested in. It also helps that I'm not squeamish about scars and stitches and the like. Give us all the details; we want to be with you on this journey!
Hey Stef, I've been following your progress ever since you first started HRT and wanted to say congrats and thank you for sharing your journey! We've all learned so much from it and are so proud of you :)
oh my god stef you've come a long way. I just watched your 2 weeks on T-blockers video then purposely watched this right after to see the difference and it's so amazing. It's more so distinctive in your voice and I just have to say W O W you go girl. You look fantastic
Omg it is amazing to see how your transition evolves. Your voice sounds wonderful. I am so happy for you that the estrogen treatment works out so well.

Has it been half a year already??? Wow! I'm so glad it's going well for you!
I love your videos because I'm constantly learning things from them so thanks! 😄
I absolutely understand what you mean by how difficult it is to try and explain dysphoria. While I still see a therapist for things like my Bipolar Disorder and whatnot, I struggled a long time with body (and gender) dysphoria. I am not a trans woman, but I am gender fluid, and for the longest time I would wake up every day and just focus on my breasts (which are naturally larger - I used to wear a D cup). Much like how all the makeup in the world doesn't "fix" your dysphoria, wearing a binder for me didn't "fix" mine. Once I was an adult I actually had breast reduction surgery. They were not removed, but just made smaller and I felt much more myself. When I saw myself in the mirror for the first time I broke down in tears because I felt like this weight was lifted. I hope you feel the same sense of relief with your FFS, Stef. You deserve to be your happiest, healthiest, truest version of yourself.
I love how well-spoken you are ! Such a joy to watch :). Thanks for sharing !
congratulations on six months! I've been watching from the start and I'm honored to follow your journey. xo
It's awesome to hear that you've come so far in your funding for your surgeries! I can't wait to see your next steps in all of this, thanks for letting us into your life on such a venerable matter.
