idk what I’m looking for from this post. But I’m honestly fine with how my face looks. But unless I look feminine, most bi-women are going to keep assuming I want to dom and top without even asking (aka treat me like a man…). Lesbians won’t be attracted to me. 99% of people won’t perceive me as a women and interact the same they do with other women

I think I can get FFS lined up in some months but I feel extremely weird changing my face so drastically and suddenly. I’m dissociating extremely hard rn just thinking about it. I can’t imagine how bad it’d be after the surgeries. I feel like I’d lose a big part of my identity. I’m deathly afraid of looking into a mirror and not recognizing the face staring back at me

There’s something about the face being by far the premier identifier for human beings here. Because if they were easy/safe, I totally would get surgeries to contract my shoulders and ribcage in an instant LOL

Honestly, so much of what I do to transition is just so the world will interact with me like a woman. I also quite like my “natural” deep heavy 75hz voice tbh. But I’m still voice training at a light valley girl 200-250hz range because I can’t look masculine and have that deep a voice for people to treat me like a woman. At least the voice training is okay though, it was something that I developed in steps + I can still talk nearly the same as I did previously when I want so I don’t feel divorced from who I am

Gender in its current form is so fucking stupid I want something like what some indigenous cultures had

    Don’t worry about not recognizing yourself. My friend got FFS, you’re gonna look like the same person but just more feminine. Like your twin sister or something. But the recovery does suck
