I think I weighed like 180-200lbs when I started and honestly I feel like my transition has been useless because of this and I should of been denied hrt. And I look super ugly

    Hey girl, I just came from your other posts - specifically the one where you posted a full pic of yourself. Looking at the pic and the one you used for your PFP, I think you’re beautiful and wouldn’t even question your assigned-at-birth sex or gender identity for an instant if I passed you on the street or saw you in a restaurant.

    Are you a Playboy model? Of course not, but no one is and isn’t a slave to fashion and capitalism and unrealistic beauty standards. I think you’re an amazing woman whose body has settled into its true gender beautifully.

    Unfortunately, your comments and posts suggest body image issues that transcend your gender identity. Plenty of cis people also experience negative body image and wish to change themselves to fit what they think is beautiful. If you are happy with your gender identity and aren’t experiencing gender-related dysphoria, but rather just feel ugly about your body, I don’t think coming off hormones will help with that. Therapy is my answer here, but I don’t think your transition is solely to blame for these feelings.

    Love you, you got this. Give yourself the slack you deserve (which is a lot, you beautiful thing).
