Doubts about the power of hormones

[publictrans.livejournal.com]

Lately I seem to have psyched myself into believing that hormones really don't do very much. I just feel crappy about my body and sure that it will never change enough to be passable.

I'm 20, mtf, but dammit, I have never once in my life passed for female.

Have others felt this too, and been proven wrong by hormones? Am I just being too hard on myself?

Gah, I wish there were more before/after pictures around...
