			Matt Kailey, the author of "Just Add Hormones" died in his sleep last night.  Heart Failure.  No article anywhere on it.  This is his blog.

			You know, I keep a photographic record of my transition, just to be able to look back at it, later on, when I need to do so.  Sometimes I use it to help people that are considering transition, so that they can see how much can change.

 I love watching the youtube videos of FTMs on testosterone. The compilations of one picture a day for 1 year, over 2 years, etc. I think sometimes people don't realize how dramatic changes are for MTFs on HRT.

			From what I understand, and have seen, the physical changes aren't as drastic, generally, for ftm's as for mtf's.  Am I fairly correct in this?

 Bit of a leap to correlate with smoking. A lot of things cause heart failure. A pioneer is lost.  |

			Yes, it probably looked like I was leaping.  The comment was made on another site I was on and I think there was other information that caused the focus to go to his smoking.  I don't have the background.

			Just noticed this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_5441303.html  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			And I wonder how we will look 10, 15, 20 years from now (hopefully with better fashion sense; padded shoulders should never be a fashion statement -- ever.)
