@abbynady Wow! What a highly intelligent remark, you dazzle all with your intellect and oratory eloquence... How can a mere human such as I, hope to even come close to competing with your magnificence... All I can now do, is crawl away in shame and spend the rest of my days in solitary contemplation as I ponder over your wondrous words of timeless wisdom....

Mmmm, sarcasm can taste sooo sweet - yummy.

you are very beautiful i'm so exciting to have contact with u

[Wifewanted1]

Wow. You look really good. The hormones are amazing....

[73laurana]

@Wifewanted1 Hey, Thank you :) But I actually made this vid a few months before I started taking hormones...

[mymysterycd]

OMG you look so nice! hope to learn and be like you!

Yes, the internet is a godsend of information. I remember having lots of trouble finding good information back in my college days in the late '70's. The You tube community really opened my eyes to the very real possibilities of transitioning. I first learned of GRS as a little kid back around '68 when I say an article on Christina Jorganson. Boy was I intrigued and envious! I knew what I wanted. Still, it seems like such a pipe dream back then. For what it's worth - you look great as a blond.

@amberarise Thank you for you're comment and kind words. I very much agree with what you say about the difficulty of obtaining info on our condition. It really angers me that when I was a kid / teenager, the info I needed on gender dysphoria was just not available. It was only when I reached my late teens /early 20's that I began to get drips & drabs of info here and there, but by then I thought it was too late to transition...oh, how wrong I was, but hindsights a wonderful thing as they say.

I think you're super pretty. :)

[73laurana]

@TGirlAficionado Thank you, thats lovely of you to say, I appreciate your kind words, xx

You are so right about the internet and how different it is now with the availability of information. My main sources back then were just talk shows on TV (Donohue) and science articles.  I first learned about SRS and transition from my best friend when I was 11. But I never was able to express how I felt to others, and when I heard a news story about kids transitioning when I was in middle school, I felt very envious too and also thought that other people did it but not me.

[73laurana]

@Exdisforya Thank you for your comment. Yes, I think people of my age and older had a difficult job to get hold of any info about gender dysphoria, if they even knew about the condition in the first place - I didn't until I reached the age of 17. Kids of today have it a lot easier with all the info on the net at their fingertips. However - my generation had better music, lol.

Your voice sounds much better in this video, you must have been practicing a lot.

[73laurana]

@Chris188228 Thanks. I do try to practice nearly everyday. Somedays my female voice is lousy and other days its good, I just need to keep on practicing until my voice sounds good everyday. It can be very frustrating work and the temptation to just quit can be very strong, however I just need to stay determined and perseverance should bring the results I seek.

[Chris188228]

@73laurana that's what worked for me. If I could offer a word of advice, it sounds like you need to constrict the air flow at the back of your throat a little more to give it more of the female-sounding quality you're looking for.

[TannygirlNatasha]

[73laurana]

Nice interesting video Kathryn! You are quite well ahead appearancewise and your makeup is very good. Also your voice is very passable. Good luck with the blood tests and everything, hope you'll keep us up to date from time to time.

Helen xx

[73laurana]

@myliteful Thank you Helen. I expect my transition will be a long journey - at least another 2-3 years, so I think I'll be making the occasional vlog for quite some time yet. Stay tuned and Best wishes.

Girl! You look smashingly beautiful. I will have to check with my phsycologist to see if i can apply for laser hair removal. I am currently doing it out of pocket right now and you are right it is expensive. Like you i too am a late bloomer. I am 57 and transitionning. I still look pretty good but admit i need FFS to be passable. The body is ok with mesurements of 37-28-36 i pass, it`s just when look at my face it gives me away Oh! well work in progress. Best wishes. Hugg& kiss. Bye!

[73laurana]
