I know people say you'll be about as good-looking after transitioning as before, but that's nonsense. I've not seen a single trans person who didn't look way better afterwards.

I mean, back before my hairline decided to start trying to imitate Vegeta...

Oh I absolutely did hate having pictures taken of me, was quite bashful... eventually got away from my very traditional/rightwing family that had imbued me what I can only describe as an 'anti' fashion sense, started to develop my own, even did some gender bend cosplays and such, yeah, I was hot, people told me unprompted lol!

But for myself personally, its just fun, occasional tourism, I am quite ok with defaulting to identifying as a dude who is just queer/heteroflexible/considerably more open minded than the average straight cishet dude.

Also, my more or less straight dude presenting, fuck, even 'are you an undercover cop' - passing looks have definitely blindsided a few bigots and misogynist sex pests that needed to get thrown out of bars! >=D

Now all that being said... do what makes you happy, be who makes you happy, dress such that you feel incredible, be who you really are.

Hahah, don't let the man keep you down, hahah!

Yeah, I tried to see if I could crack my own egg, really did...

gravely cigarette voice:

Turns out I was just hardboiled.

i wsh.,,

Actually, I'll have you know that I just pull a stupid face in all the photos of me.

(Not me)

I'm literally the former. Am I an egg?

edit: /j, because in retrospect, it was slightly ambiguous

yeah that was me lmao

oh shit. I always hated how I looked in photos and just lived with being ugly and now I get to be hot

i legit started taking selfies all the time recently, i had like a whole 5 before then that were really just because i wanted a profile picture that wasn't 5 years old
