I am taking estrogen HRT, and I’ll be documenting and celebrating how my appearance changes by taking photos every month. It’s been twenty-three months since I started, so here is the twenty-third batch of photos. These were taken in Evanston, IL and at the Chicago Botanical Garden.

Me, a white enby with curly brown hair. I'm wearing a red-puple jacket and I have pink hearts drawn on my cheeks. I'm standing in front of a couple of pine trees. I've unzipped the jacket, showing a dress with a black top and a sunflower-pattern lower part. Back to my face. My hair has very voluminous curls. There's pine needles in front of my face, and I'm wearing an "I voted" sticker. I've spread my arms and am now visible from head to toe. The camera is tilted and I'm leaning the opposite direction, so I'm vertical in the photo by the trees and horizon are leaning. Same angle, and I'm now facing up and to the right. Close up on just my face and my very wide smile, with the blue sky and puffy clouds behind me. I'm in front of a lake, it's very sunny, my smooth arm is emphasized. I have my hand on my hip and the photo is from above, with a hint of the sunflowers on my dress. I'm half tilted towards the viewer and there's blurry pine needles in the foreground. Just my face, taken from below. My curls are blowing across my face and the sun is visible through my hair on the right. I'm in front of a lake with green water vegetation growing in it. My cheeks are very rosy. The sparkle of the sun on the water is visible to the left. I'm smelling a little pink flower in profile, and grinning hugely. In front of the lake with green vegetation again, with a puffy black jacket now. Same scene, jacket unzipped, facing the viewer squarely. The expanse of a long curvy lake behind me. Taken from below, with a willow tree behind my head. In front of the lake, a half-side angle.
