People with mild to moderate dysphoria are the ones who benefit the most from transitioning and not repping. In fact, it's more common for those with severe dysphoria to regret transition due to the feeling the current limits of medical transition will never make it good enough for them. If your dysphoria is less crippling, you have better odds of being able to live with the things you can't change while still benefiting from the mental and physical changes of HRT.Basically, if you're repping because you think your dysphoria is 'tolerable', you're fucking retarded.
>>44231525it'll be intolerable if I transition and look like a freak
>>44231597Not looking like a freak is 90% not dressing like a retard and knowing whether you pass enough or not to present as the opposite sex. It's almost an entirely avoidable issue.
>>44231662I'm 185cm (a bit over 6 foot), I MOG the average women. I'll look like a freak in a cute dress.
>>44231679Then don't wear dresses until you pass. You're already not wearing dresses in public anyway I presume, except you're also not on estrogen and still actively masculinizing with every passing day. If you at least boymoded you'd feel better from running on the right hormones for your brain.
>>44231708There's no hormone that'll change my frame anon. I'm not ready to change up how I've been for the past 22 years because of some mental thing that I don't even know applies to me. I look feminine enough for gay men and I'll look old and ugly when I get older. That's just how things go. Have you ever been in a photo with a small girl ? men are so so so different, not just in height.
>>44231679Height dysphoria is retarded desu, you should literally just stop thinking about height
>>44231525I had mild dysphoria and it's only gotten worse after taking e
id rather rep forever in the comfort that im a mid looking woman than spend money and time transitioning just to look like a freak
>>44231525That is the realization I had recently, thinking "I would rather take steps to feel better about myself, even if I wind up a hon." I probably can't go as far as SRS or FFS, poverty and all, but HRT, learning better skin and hair care, getting waxed, maybe lasering my face, would do so much for my self image. I can't make perfect the enemy of good, but I can make peace with the minor imperfections.
>>44231525i don't want to be part of the most hated category of our time
