I’m sure you look just fine, but as someone who started transitioning late, I definitely sympathize feeling a little insecure.
Also, I hope this isn’t weird to ask, but is that you in the pfp?
It's about 70% me. I used some AI filters to help with my makeup (I just can't get the hang of doing my left side) and definitely my hair. I hadn't discovered how often you are supposed to shampoo it, or developed a good conditioner routine, so it had that bad frizz that nobody likes.
Well, fwiw if I ended up looking only a fraction of how good you do, I’d consider my transition to be very successful. I really don’t think you have any reason to worry, but again, I totally empathize with feeling self-conscious at times.
Well thank you, and don't be hard on yourself either. I came out at 16 and started HRT, and at 20 my parents were financially in a position to help with the major surgeries.
Thanks for the kind words!
I also wanted to say, and I hope this isn’t imposing or anything, but you probably do want to avoid displaying face pics like that on your profile or in posts (we do actually have a rule against self-doxxing for posts), just because we’ve occasionally had issues with doxxing and want to make sure everyone on the site stays safe and I hope that’s understandable
