Thats the dysphoria talking. A) you already look pretty Passing B) in your other post you said you've only been HRT for 5,5 months? Give it time. I promise you it will be worth it.
I had the same type of mid-HRT dysphoria were I thought I would never pass. And just a few months later I couldn't boymode anymore since I was already passing too well. It will happen for your too. Im 31 btw. Dont know how old you are but you look younger than that. "Too late" is a dirty lie the dysphoria tells you. Dont believe it.
I'm 20. Thank you for the kind words ๐ฉท It's just really hard to stay positive sometimes
Girl I started at 35 and I pass now. Chill lol
Girl my egg hadn't even cracked at 20. Give yourself some time!
Also you look more fem than you think you do!
The best thing I ever did for my mental health was making some irl friends. Humans are social animals, you'll feel so much better if you have a good community around you
I agree with everything Chloe said. HRT is working super well for you. I know it's hard but we can see it's working on the picture and it'll keep working.
And you're young, I started at 31 and I pass, even on the days were I just crawl out of the house no makeup or anything.
When I came out, I was worried of being too old, and then I saw other trans people that started in their 50s or 60s and were passing peeling perfectly. I remember looking at this woman's selfie and thinking: "that's just an older woman". No clocking, or anything. It's never too late.
20? I started hrt at 32. Girl if youre too late, then im fucked ๐
I dont think you need to worry. Youre going to look plenty fem (you already do), just takes time. Its puberty after all, youll grow into it โค๏ธ
my egg didn't even begin to hatch until i was 31.
it warms my heart to a fierce degree to see others realize what i was too stupid to when i was 14.
