I understand how painful it is. I'm mostly experiencing the same, except for a few friends I came out to, which really helped me a lot. I'm not currently working, but when I was, it was quite the same as you are describing. Idk how much support you have in your life, between friends, siblings and other relatives. But coming out to some people helped me a lot, if you can, try to get some support irl.For voice, you have to train, there's no going around it. It's hard, not that hard, but it will take some effort, and consistent training (I can link a few resources I got from other users, if you'd like).
Changes from E will take time, unfortunately. But the way you dress and take care of yourself is just as important. If you dress with masc clothes, speak with a more masc voice, have a masc haircut, don't deal with facial hair in some way, most people won't register anything other than "men" and will not even think about it, hell, even other trans people won't realize.
I'm not sure why you are so focused on the T puberty, probably the majority of trans women have gone through it and they can just look like a woman too (I know a few stunningly beautiful ones). E will help, obviously. But you can also do other stuff to help, like change how you dress, learn how to do make-up, do skin-care, shave, paint your nails, do your eyebrows, and many many more things you can do. If that's not something you can do right now, then yeah, it is going to be harder to get treated as a woman by a random person, or someone you haven't come out to.
If the size thing is about height, there isn't that much to do besides accept that tall women are beautiful. If this is about weight and fat distribution, then the only thing I can recommend other than realizing women with bellies are beautiful, is to exercise and eat healthy. That way losing weight and redistributing fat from E will get you closer to what you want.
If there is some specific way you want to look like, it might be harder to get there, but I'm sure you can look how you want to. Remember, you are already a beautiful woman, the other people just haven't realized it yet.

I don't really have any real life friends. There's one person at work I'm out to, but she's older and its not like we'd hang out after. Plus she comes in pretty rarely. Siblings are not an option. I definitely wish I had more.It is that hard for me. I've tried a few times and its incredibly frustrating, I can't understand what I'm even supposed to be doing, and its so dysphoric for me I really just can't. If you want to send them you can, and next time I try I'll look, but idk. Its definitely one of the things I feel most hopeless about.
I'm growing my hair out and shave. I know its not reasonable for people to gender me correctly. I look like a man.
Its what has caused most of my dysphoria? Most of the things that either can't be changed, or can only be changed with lots of time, effort, money, pain etc. Often all of them. The things that bother me the most, that it did, are the hardest to fix. If its even fixable.
Its all of it. My height, I'm broad, my chest, hands, feet, etc. I'm just really big in general, even for a guy.
Thank you for talking with me, I really appreciate it.
About voice training there's this post I saved a while back, very detailed, I thought it would be better than just posting the links, the user who posted it detailed some stuff well. These have helped me a lot, maybe you can make some progress too. Voice training is 100% possible, do not give up on it.

Well, making friends can be hard, making cool friends even harder, but it is so worth it, having someone calling you by your chosen name feels very good the first few times, even if they're online friends. You could try LGBT groups, or maybe try to get organized? I made a few very good friends at my org, but maybe just getting some online friends would already help, I barely see my friends so they're basically online friends.Don't worry too much about being big, big women exist, with varying proportions. I'm on this boat too, to some extent, I'm tall, not that much, but my hands are really big. I'm sure you will find your body beautiful one day, when you can fully explore your expression of yourself. Including everything, clothing, make-up, nails, all of it.
I keep imagining moving out, having my stuff, fem clothes, being myself, as best as I can. This gets me through most sad days with hope.
Don't worry about it, if you want someone to listen to you, don't be afraid to reach out.
Thank you, I saved it too. Not sure when I'll look at it next. I know, I really can't not train because my voice dysphoria is so bad.

I really just don't have any options unfortunately. I've been called my real name a bit and yes it is very nice, love my name. There's an online lgbt group that's based near me, but none of them are trans or my age even :/ I think a trans guy joined one week, but that was it.Thank you, I might message you at some point
