Claire is happy to be in Paris now. FIRST TIME OUT OF THE COUNTRY!
However: Holy shit is CDG the worst airport in existence. The French are awful. The Dutch are way hotter than them, too. Claire's first conversation in France was telling a man to stop bumping into her repeatedly, with things escalating to the man yelling "You're fucking crazy" and both of us yelling "Fuck you!" "No, fuck you! Stay the fuck away from me!" at each other. Hellooooo, Europe. I can think of two other ways they were shitty, just in that one airport visit. Like pretending not to know English until I laid some French on them (in the form of a pre-translated printout printed in a large font) and then suddenly knowing English and being able to help me. I knew it was good advice to tell Carolyn to turn our travel tote with an American flag inside-out.

Claire got her Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Bart Van De Ven at the 2Pass Clinic in Antwerp, Belgium on September 4th, 2018. He had a lot of before and after pictures for Claire to look at, and a 6-day stay in their clinic to include food and board was included in the price. It was a really nice facility, and Carolyn was glad that Claire had chosen 2Pass over PriyaMed in India, after seeing CT scans confirming friends had paid for procedures that were never even done (PriyaMed suuuuucks!). Dr. Bart and the entire 2Pass staff, including the resident who lived at the clinic and took care of all the patients, Petra, were very nice and friendly. We absolutely have complaints about the experience -- the implants that made my mouth look worse for months, only to threaten my life, creating two more additional surgeries for me to undergo and recover from. The nerve damage on my chin, which I think could have been avoided if Dr. Bart didn't insist that CT scans are unnecessary while any upscale FFS place does CT scans. The complication under my eye which literally exploded out of my face, but only 14 months later. Letting me leave without my chin strap. Sending me home when I wasn't really fit to fly yet. Having a big wooden table with an irregular shape that people trip over, which isvery easy when your eyes are sewn shut. Not shaving as much off my forehead as I'd hoped. Not doing as much jaw work as I'd hoped. Not including a neck lift in my package when it absolutely should have been. The surgery was good -- I've had people tell me in private that my FFS is the best FFS they've ever seen (which I disagree with!) -- but it wasn't A+ for us. It was more like a B+ for results, and a C- for complications and choosing the right procedures to perform on me. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement in our experience as well. Like they don't say what time of day to arrive, and only let you check into your room a few hours before your appointment. So we ended up being several hours late because of this -- they could simply let people in 6-8 hrs before their appointment, then we would have been able to aim earlier and not be late.

Soon after we arrived at the clinic, Dr. Bart was called back in to do the pre-op appointment that was supposed to have happened hours earlier, but didn't because the train schedule made us so late. He took some "before" pictures and went over the plan for the procedure in more detail. Claire thinks she might have had better results if it wasn't so rushed.

But at the same time...no regrets. This surgery was the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm very happy with what 2Pass did for me. I just wish things had gone better.

From www.youtube.com/watch?v=iatGTP8JodQ
Facial hair(chin) development while applying minoxidil 5% to beard and using other substances.
Frames shot in macro regime with 3 days hair growth, time frame between shots is around a week(mostly week, sometimes 2 weeks). I only began taking macro photos 3.5 months in to experiment, thus hair development before that is not visible, mind that before minoxidil there was one or two hairs in this region. 3.5m, 6.3m and so on signifies months after beginning of minoxidil application.
Darker lines by substance shows when certain substance was used. Half the line by minoxidil field means from that point I only began using half the dose of minoxidil (0.5ml two times per day).
For smooth, comparative and controllable navigation in these frames (with fast rewind/forward) go here questforbeard.herobo.com/chinbeard.htm
Substances used:
Minoxidil, 2x1ml, later 2x0.5ml, on beard
B-50, B vitamin complex
Fish oil, on beard and internally
Emu oil, on beard
Chili extract (capsaicin), on beard
MSM 4g
Zinc 25mg
Tretinoin 0.025%
CP Folligen, on beard

Claire organized a Mini-Family Reunion as a way to answer any questions about her transition to any family members who might show up. Also as a last chance to see her face before her FFS (facial feminization surgery) in 30 days. 13 people came: Claire & Carolyn & Beth, Claire's Mom & Dad, Britt & Chris, Anne & Vicky, Jay & Amy, and Marcia & Nathan. The event was fun, though there was no real Q&A session on transgender stuff as originally intended. Claire was really hoping that some relatives that hadn't seen her since her transition would show up, but it was so fun to get everybody together!
Transition Progress at this point: 1 year on estrogen HRT (since 8/2017) [injections (and no spiro) since 1/2018: 42 injections in 7mos], progesterone since 3/25/2018 (4mos).

Facial Feminization Surgery booked and paid for at 2Pass Clinic (Belgium, with a quick visit to Paris before & after, 9/4/2018, 6.5hrs, $26.8K--1 month to go!) !!!!!!!!!!!!! Completed 2 semesters (16 sessions) of transgender group speech therapy at GWU's Speech & Hearing Center (6mos of voice training since 2/2017). Weight down to 147lbs (50 down from 197, but 12 up from 135, uh oh!). Same-weight waist measurement has dropped from 32" (12/17) to 31" (6/18) [now 35-31-35]. Boobs (Tanner IV) filling a 34A bra, but unsure of real cup size. Hair removal: 53 electrolysis sessions [since 4/2017] totaling 35.9 hours; 34 laser hair removal sessions [since 9/2016] (55 area treatments: 17/16/14/13 mouth/goatee/face/neck, 9 armpits, 7 legs/chest/ears/Brazilian); and bi-weekly at-home IPL on arms since 6/17 (over a year). Have seen endo/primary therapist 7X [bloodwork 6X], and 4 other therapists 13X--On anticonvulsant mood stabilizer Lamictal (3.5mos since 4/15, 200mg/day). Latisse for eyelash lengthening since 4/17 (1yr4mos). 2 dental implants, Zoom teeth whitening, pierced ears, star cold-brand on ass (7/14/2018), hair dyed blue [but blue has mostly faded, with the remaining becoming purple]. No haircuts since 1/2015--3.5yrs. Sephora makeup class attended. Minor body contouring procedures purchased on groupon (8 laser lipo + 4 ultrasonic liposculpture + 3 non-invasive buttlift sessions + permanent lip coloring), but being booked after FFS. Wardrobe replacement up to 1,129 items. Total transition expenditures at this point are now over $52,300.

BACKSTORY: Rainbow Party #18: Red #2: Red Redux: Blood Red: The Blood Red Party: 26 people. Clio & Carolyn, AE & Meagan, Puppy, Akira, Sideshow Bob, Javier & Katherine G, Diane & Andrew, Emily, Erica, Liz, Carlos, Olivia, Jen Lee & Atool, Jayce & Max, Tyanna, Jill, Tom & Katie, Lex, Jax. Lots of socializing, and some cuddling. One 13-person L-C-R game (Sideshow Bob won). 3 couples slow-dancing to "Lady In Red" while wearing red was surreal as hell [C&C,Olivia&Max,Jen&Atool]. Max's blood bath -- being covered in blood -- was epic... But we really wish that people had figured out how to turn the hose on BEFORE covering him in blood.... Bringing him into our shower left red stains in our bathroom for a good 6 months. They seemed to have eventually faded. Meanwhile, people were still hanging out at 4:30AM. Liz, Jayce, and Sideshow Bob crashed for the night. For those on the invitation, the Facebook event page is at: www.facebook.com/events/562268484140242/

Claire is happy to be in Paris now. FIRST TIME OUT OF THE COUNTRY!
However: Holy shit is CDG the worst airport in existence. The French are awful. The Dutch are way hotter than them, too. Claire's first conversation in France was telling a man to stop bumping into her repeatedly, with things escalating to the man yelling "You're fucking crazy" and both of us yelling "Fuck you!" "No, fuck you! Stay the fuck away from me!" at each other. Hellooooo, Europe. I can think of two other ways they were shitty, just in that one airport visit. Like pretending not to know English until I laid some French on them (in the form of a pre-translated printout printed in a large font) and then suddenly knowing English and being able to help me. I knew it was good advice to tell Carolyn to turn our travel tote with an American flag inside-out.

Claire got her Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Bart Van De Ven at the 2Pass Clinic in Antwerp, Belgium on September 4th, 2018. He had a lot of before and after pictures for Claire to look at, and a 6-day stay in their clinic to include food and board was included in the price. It was a really nice facility, and Carolyn was glad that Claire had chosen 2Pass over PriyaMed in India, after seeing CT scans confirming friends had paid for procedures that were never even done (PriyaMed suuuuucks!). Dr. Bart and the entire 2Pass staff, including the resident who lived at the clinic and took care of all the patients, Petra, were very nice and friendly. We absolutely have complaints about the experience -- the implants that made my mouth look worse for months, only to threaten my life, creating two more additional surgeries for me to undergo and recover from. The nerve damage on my chin, which I think could have been avoided if Dr. Bart didn't insist that CT scans are unnecessary while any upscale FFS place does CT scans. The complication under my eye which literally exploded out of my face, but only 14 months later. Letting me leave without my chin strap. Sending me home when I wasn't really fit to fly yet. Having a big wooden table with an irregular shape that people trip over, which is very easy when your eyes are sewn shut. Not shaving as much off my forehead as I'd hoped. Not doing as much jaw work as I'd hoped. Not including a neck lift in my package when it absolutely should have been. The surgery was good -- I've had people tell me in private that my FFS is the best FFS they've ever seen (which I disagree with!) -- but it wasn't A+ for us. It was more like a B+ for results, and a C- for complications and choosing the right procedures to perform on me. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement in our experience as well. Like they don't say what time of day to arrive, and only let you check into your room a few hours before your appointment. So we ended up being several hours late because of this -- they could simply let people in 6-8 hrs before their appointment, then we would have been able to aim earlier and not be late.

Claire got her Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Bart Van De Ven at the 2Pass Clinic in Antwerp, Belgium on September 4th, 2018. He had a lot of before and after pictures for Claire to look at, and a 6-day stay in their clinic to include food and board was included in the price. It was a really nice facility, and Carolyn was glad that Claire had chosen 2Pass over PriyaMed in India, after seeing CT scans confirming friends had paid for procedures that were never even done (PriyaMed suuuuucks!). Dr. Bart and the entire 2Pass staff, including the resident who lived at the clinic and took care of all the patients, Petra, were very nice and friendly. We absolutely have complaints about the experience -- the implants that made my mouth look worse for months, only to threaten my life, creating two more additional surgeries for me to undergo and recover from. The nerve damage on my chin, which I think could have been avoided if Dr. Bart didn't insist that CT scans are unnecessary while any upscale FFS place does CT scans. The complication under my eye which literally exploded out of my face, but only 14 months later. Letting me leave without my chin strap. Sending me home when I wasn't really fit to fly yet. Having a big wooden table with an irregular shape that people trip over, which is very easy when your eyes are sewn shut. Not shaving as much off my forehead as I'd hoped. Not doing as much jaw work as I'd hoped. Not including a neck lift in my package when it absolutely should have been. The surgery was good -- I've had people tell me in private that my FFS is the best FFS they've ever seen (which I disagree with!) -- but it wasn't A+ for us. It was more like a B+ for results, and a C- for complications and choosing the right procedures to perform on me. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement in our experience as well. Like they don't say what time of day to arrive, and only let you check into your room a few hours before your appointment. So we ended up being several hours late because of this -- they could simply let people in 6-8 hrs before their appointment, then we would have been able to aim earlierand not be late.

Facial hair(chin) development while applying minoxidil 5% to beard and using other substances.
Frames shot in macro regime with 3 days hair growth, time frame between shots is around a week(mostly week, sometimes 2 weeks). I only began taking macro photos 3.5 months in to experiment, thus hair development before that is not visible, mind that before minoxidil there was one or two hairs in this region. 3.5m, 6.3m and so on signifies months after beginning of minoxidil application.
Darker lines by substance shows when certain substance was used. Half the line by minoxidil field means from that point I only began using half the dose of minoxidil (0.5ml two times per day).
For smooth, comparative and controllable navigation in these frames (with fast rewind/forward) go here questforbeard.herobo.com/chinbeard.htm
Substances used:
Minoxidil, 2x1ml, later 2x0.5ml, on beard
B-50, B vitamin complex

Emu oil, on beard
Chili extract (capsaicin), on beard

Claire got her Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Bart Van De Ven at the 2Pass Clinic in Antwerp, Belgium on September 4th, 2018. He had a lot of before and after pictures for Claire to look at, and a 6-day stay in their clinic to include food and board was included in the price. It was a really nice facility, and Carolyn was glad that Claire had chosen 2Pass over PriyaMed in India, after seeing CT scans confirming friends had paid for procedures that were never even done (PriyaMed suuuuucks!). Dr. Bart and the entire 2Pass staff, including the resident who lived at the clinic and took care of all the patients, Petra, were very nice and friendly. We absolutely have complaints about the experience -- the implants that made my mouth look worse for months, only to threaten my life, creating two more additional surgeries for me to undergo and recover from. The nerve damage on my chin, which I think could have been avoided if Dr. Bart didn't insist that CT scans are unnecessary while any upscale FFS place does CT scans. The complication under my eye which literally exploded out of my face, but only 14 months later. Letting me leave without my chin strap. Sending me home when I wasn't really fit to fly yet. Having a big wooden table with an irregular shape that people trip over, which is very easy when your eyes aresewn shut. Not shaving as much off my forehead as I'd hoped. Not doing as much jaw work as I'd hoped. Not including a neck lift in my package when it absolutely should have been. The surgery was good -- I've had people tell me in private that my FFS is the best FFS they've ever seen (which I disagree with!) -- but it wasn't A+ for us. It was more like a B+ for results, and a C- for complications and choosing the right procedures to perform on me. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement in our experience as well. Like they don't say what time of day to arrive, and only let you check into your room a few hours before your appointment. So we ended up being several hours late because of this -- they could simply let people in 6-8 hrs before their appointment, then we would have been able to aim earlier and not be late.

Facial hair(chin) development while applying minoxidil 5% to beard and using other substances.
Frames shot in macro regime with 3 days hair growth, time frame between shots is around a week(mostly week, sometimes 2 weeks). I only began taking macro photos 3.5 months in to experiment, thus hair development before that is not visible, mind that before minoxidil there was one or two hairs in this region. 3.5m, 6.3m and so on signifies months after beginning of minoxidil application.
Darker lines by substance shows when certain substance was used. Half the line by minoxidil field means from that point I only began using half the dose of minoxidil (0.5ml two times per day).

We lost the game, but we were really close. With Eric's help, we succeeded at a key objective... so we were set up for success for next time.

Claire got her Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Bart Van De Ven at the 2Pass Clinic in Antwerp, Belgium on September 4th, 2018. He had a lot of before and after pictures for Claire to look at, and a 6-day stay in their clinic to include food and board was included in the price. It was a really nice facility, and Carolyn was glad that Claire had chosen 2Pass over PriyaMed in India, after seeing CT scans confirming friends had paid for procedures that were never even done (PriyaMed suuuuucks!). Dr. Bart and the entire 2Pass staff, including the resident who lived at the clinic and took care of all the patients, Petra, were very nice and friendly. We absolutely have complaints about the experience -- the implants that made my mouth look worse for months, only to threaten my life, creating two more additional surgeries for me to undergo and recover from. The nerve damage on my chin, which I think could have been avoided if Dr. Bart didn't insist that CT scans are unnecessary while any upscale FFS place does CT scans. The complication under my eye which literally exploded out of my face, but only 14 months later. Letting me leave without my chin strap. Sending me home when I wasn't really fit to fly yet. Having a big wooden table with an irregular shape that people trip over, which is very easy when your eyes are sewn shut. Not shaving as much off my forehead as I'd hoped. Not doing as much jaw work as I'd hoped. Not including a neck lift in my package when it absolutely should have been. The surgery was good -- I've had people tell me in private that my FFS is the best FFS they've ever seen (which i disagree with!) -- but it wasn't A+ for us. It was more like a B+ for results, and a C- for complications and choosing the right procedures to perform on me. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement in our experience as well. Like they don't say what time of day to arrive, and only let you check into your room a few hours before your appointment. So we ended up being several hours late because of this -- they could simply let people in 6-8 hrs before their appointment, then we would have been able to aim earlier and not be late.

Facial hair(chin) development while applying minoxidil 5% to beard and using other substances.
Frames shot in macro regime with 3 days hair growth, time frame between shots is around a week(mostly week, sometimes 2 weeks). I only began taking macro photos 3.5 months in to experiment, thus hair development before that is not visible, mind that before minoxidil there was one or two hairs in this region. 3.5m, 6.3m and so on signifies months after beginning of minoxidil application.
Darker lines by substance shows when certain substance was used. Half the line by minoxidil field means from that point I only began using half the dose of minoxidil (0.5ml two times per day).
For smooth, comparative and controllable navigation in these frames (with fast rewind/forward) go here questforbeard.herobo.com/chinbeard.htm
Substances used:
Minoxidil, 2x1ml, later 2x0.5ml, on beard
B-50, B vitamin complex
Fish oil, on beard and internally
Emu oil, on beard
Chili extract (capsaicin), on beard
MSM 4g
Zinc 25mg
Tretinoin 0.025%
CP Folligen, on beard
Biotin 2.5mg
