HPV isn't permanent. most westerners will have it at some point in their life. it should clear out in a few years

>>43269228
i've had common warts on my hands on and off for about 15 years.
they don't seem to be going anywhere.

>>43269218
>i have a really good education and money
Well, use that to make friends. And to work on your transition too.
I was in a similar situation (except no stds) at 34. $200k and 4 years later I was a professional woman. Ex-wife still wants me dead though.

idk how to really "work on my transition"
like, my bones are what they are, y'know?
i can voice train but that's about it.
i feel like an idiot trying to learn how to do makeup in my late 30s so i just wear mascara and maybe a bit of bad eyeliner. clearly doesn't look good so i'm just barefaced most of the time.
i even just go by they/them because it feels humiliating to ask people to refer to me by she/her.
trans women who do that when they clearly don't pass honestly make me cringe at this point in my transition.
> ex-wife still wants me dead though
lul

The face might still be correctable. And you'd be surprised how much you can hide/improve in appearance by just styling your clothing appropriately.
But I didn't mean physically that much, but mentally. How you walk, how you talk (not just voice training, but what kind of language do you use, how you frame things), how you relate to people, all of that matters.
I got consistently she/her'd long before I physically passed because of my mannerisms.
>i feel like an idiot trying to learn how to do makeup in my late 30s
It needn't be like that. Everyone's an idiot at first. The path to not being an idiot is perseverance and improvement. I learned make up at 35, lol.
Pro-tip: Get a cisf friend. Lots of cisfs love to practice and teach these things with others.

Yeah. Seeing me enjoying my new life and boyfriend broke her.
The silver lining is that she now clearly sees me as female, given her jealousy and intra-sexual competition patterns lul.

People who transition in their 30s end up suffering the most. Too old to actually make it, but still too young to have honfidence.

fair enough.
i don't want ffs but i agree i need a cisf friend who's into makeup.
i have one cisf sort-of-friend (i think she likes me romantically... but very much innocent and i'm not gonna even go there with my past and STDs etc) but she's a lesbian who doesn't wear makeup

i think my mannerisms and clothing, movements etc. are feminine but my voice is still deep and the makeup really holds me back. like, every woman in my office wears makeup every single day, i don't know where they even find the time to do it in the morning.

> Yeah. Seeing me enjoying my new life and boyfriend broke her.

lol yeah well... i'm still interested in women mostly, so i think she'd still try to ruin any relationship i get into. even the girl i mentioned above is scared of my ex after i've shown her some of the messages she sent me

pretty much. i started in early 30s and i kinda have a baby face so it's not completely over but i don't think i'll pass. i think i look... presentable... at least.

isn’t there an HPV vaccine ?
i know you already have it so it won’t work on you… but like it’ll stop your partner from getting jt

>>43272632
i'm not sure if that's how it works desu but yes there's the Gardisil vaccine, but it doesn't necessarily protect against all strains, just the dangerous cancer-causing ones (which are NOT the ones that show up with warts on the hands)

>>43269218
if you are on 5 years of hrt and still can't past then why don't you just give up

>>43274891
because i'm trans? wtf?
