Through the ups and downs this is where I am at this particular point in my transition. If anyone wants a more detailed description of certain aspects of the changes (physical, mental, emotional, social) leave a comment down below, and I'll try to answer your questions in a future video. I plan on making more videos tackling each one more in depth in the future.

Follow me on my other social media channels. I'm most active on Instagram.

  • I just want to point out how blessed you are to have a voice that could pass as female. We've seen a lot of physically feminine Thai ladyboys and Filipino transwomen (most notably Jessica Alves and Francine Garcia) who have done the whole nine yards but their masculine voice remains to be a giveaway. They say when it comes to voice, it's a gift: either you have it or you don't.
  • Wow…What a story. At least you are on your way now. You are so genuine. Thanks for sharing! 😊
  • Thank you so very much for sharing this journey of yours. I'm sorry to hear that you had such a setback, that's just completely crazy that they just changed it without telling anyone... but you're back on track and moving forward and I'm very happy for you. Hope that you do more videos like this one in future. Would be excellent to even hear one about your photography.

    Shocking to hear this . I had to check my vials too as i am going through the same circumstances now . I have to contact my doctor . But i also want to see you get to 100 subscribers and beyond . You have a natural demeanor that i like .

    Love your positivity. Good for you. Carry on forward and don’t dwell on the past. You will be the woman you are destined to be. No doubt there will be more bumps on the way, but that’s life. It loves to throw curveballs occasionally 😊

    This video just popped up again, and I watched it as I really enjoy your story. I’d love to know how things have been going since you posted this last video. Thanks!

    I have been a weirdo for 60 years. I am unique, sometimes hard to "take", but with a really open mind and a lot of empathy and compassion. It's OK to be weird, but it CAN be lonely. I was considered "beautiful", by some, and I never saw it. Finally...years later...I discovered, over time and with an amazing therapist, plus a LOT of self help, who I actually am. I didn't transition, I just wanted to die, every day, well on and off, for 40 plus years! So hard. But if I can make through 40 years, you can too. Although I am hoping you dont suffer 4 decades.

    Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time...the process is painfully slow all you can do is stay the course and things will get better. My journey is taking even longer i have seen the pherepist and had my diagnosis. Then they wanted the blood tests... that's when my stress began the results came back with high PSA levels and yet more tests and procedures revealed that I have a enlarged prostate and its cancerous. The waiting drives me crazy they have started the blockers and they were going to remove the prostate gland and It's not possible due to complications. Now I am waiting for a date for an orchectomy ... the removal of the testes as the cancer feeds off the testostrogen so once that has been done i will be able start the estrogen.
  • Truly hun thanks, I'm in transitioning myself and I love it when I am calm and not depressed, love my clothes, just need to augment more. I'm thinking SRS, but just want your opinion, and again thanks hun.

    I miss your videos where you share your experiences. They were very helpful.
  • Mackenzie, I’m new to your channel. I’ve been on Estradiol pills of 1mg, 2mg, 4mg & 5 mg (& back to 4mg because of a clot scare) for 9+ months and although the levels from the bloodwork appear to shift in the right direction, I don’t feel the emotional changes that one would think should be there. I think there are some major differences between us. 1) I’m probably more than twice as old; 2) I’m non-binary & not seeking a complete transition but rather more towards an androgynous presentation; 3) I’m on Finesteride not spiro); 4) I’ve had multiple doctors, endos monitoring my progress; 5) other health (preventing exercise) & stress issues might have impeded what should be happening. I think it’s literally a crime what the pharmacy did in your case and hope it’s now fixed.

    These things happen I stopped the spirit. and went to progesterone and I stopped that now I m just on estradiol. So yours doses were accidental and mine were on purpose but as long as we end up back on track is all that matters. Thanks for the video. Cheers 🎉

    We have been on HRT for the same amount of time. It was a little easier for me to get on estrogen because I was on Spiro for over 4 years do to High blood pressure to start with. Until December 2020 I did not know Spiro was a T blocker and was holding out thinking I might want kids and when I found that out I decided it was time and in January 2021 I had an appt with PP to get on Estrogen.

    💔 but sounds about right...thanks for posting...am 69 live in Australia, intersex/ transgender & on HRT for 18 months. Everything fine 6 months ago..now not- am on epidermal 100mg estrogen patches..& my e- levels have bottomed out- to almost nil & no one- knows why.Everything else is fine except is more menopause than puberty with big mood swings.Have managed to get a second blood test referral, with a different pathology laboratory. Find out in 3 days time, what my levels are & start again.My endoncronoligist freaked out & halved my patch application rate.Was 4 patches every 3.5 days.Now its 2..have gone through 4 cycles on new regime- before getting this latest blood test..wtf xxxKYR
  • Thank you for sharing! Now I'll be more careful to read the labels of what I get
