Life never stops amazing me in some ways.
So I was in the #transexuales IRC channel (as every other day), and I get talked by another trans woman from my area (first time it happens). We start talking, because there is a good chance we may have crossed paths at the UIG (the clinic), try to guess who we could possible be... In the end I show a photo and... "Yeah, you were there at the endo consultation, you were beautiful".
The I recognized her. Still pre-HRT (tested the same day as me), but we have been crossing for months, since she tends to go after me to the fridays shrink consultation, but... Basically it's the first time I get to meet with another trans person from my area, and we may meet for a coffee, but it's good if we can be friends that know what it feels to go through all of this craptrip.
Regarding the being regarded as good looking, it's something fairly relative. She may be in the receiving end of the stick regarding genetics (wide torso, although it could be fat since while I get weigh losing depression, she gets the complete opposite), but it is something that people gauge comparing to themselves. In my own scale, I see myself as hideous no matter what people tell, and when others far more advance and with awesomely visible results tell me that they can see no change. And I was like "Heck, what change do you want? You have a B cup, perfecto nose, nearly no brow bossing, a small chin... You look female born, not like me"
I guess we will never be happy. Speaking of which, I'm pondering wheter to wait the whole 12 months HRT before sending my picks to Chett. On the FFS evaluation I was told that my eyebrows were in an OK position, and that I'd get better and less invasive results with hair transplants instead of scalp advancement. That could mean a considerable smaller inversion on FFS, but I'm still sticking with SRS first.
