When you don’t identify with your birth gender, the process of finally resembling on the outside how you feel on the inside is life-changing.

Transitioning has a huge effect on a person’s happiness, and this is clearly visible in one transgender woman’s selfie series.

Under the username Selgal, a woman has posted a series of selfies taken over the course of 18 months whilst taking HRT (hormone replacement therapy).

A student from Ohio, Selgal began the transition aged 18, and the images provide a fascinating picture of how someone’s appearance can change due to HRT.

For trans women, HRT tends to limit facial hair growth, reduce muscle mass, increase breast size, reduce penis and testicle size and distribute fat to the hips.
