Why can't I be beautiful too?

[Karen_A]

I guarantee you that you look better than more than few who have walked this path,,, If I sent you a picture of myself you would have absolute proof!

Seriously, beautiful is beyond even the reach of most ggs. Average is really is OK... but i still more than some of us can get to...

Do what you can , and then learn to live with where you can get to... and believe me I know that is easier said than done... after 20 years I have not managed it.

Beauty is so subjective.  Look at a Rubens nude painting and then look at a supermodel today.

Sometimes I'll see a transgender woman and my first reaction is. "She is obviously clockable."

Then I start talking to her and interacting face to face and really seeing her and I'm like. "Wow. She's drop dead gorgeous."  Maybe my taste tend to the androgynous.  But so be it.

Even when I was playing the game of trying to be a man I was never really attracted to super feminine, classic, oval face, perfect beauties. I always was always more interested in a crooked smile or a cute overbite or a girl with some kind of uniqueness or eccentricity.

I've also met trans women with personalities so big they suck the oxygen out of the room.
Or contrary-wise,  I've also met perfect cis beauties who are so vapid I couldn't even relate to them.

The ideal we strive for anyway is to see thru all the BS and see the person that lies within and not let our eyes fool us. Right?  That kind of personal growth is one of the best things about being trans, I think.

Who are Donna Douglas and Elle may clampett? Models or actresses?

I keep forgetting the young'ns, Elle Mae Clampett. from the Beverly Hillbillies is the character played by Donna Douglas. The rest of the family were Jeb, Granny and Jethro.

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shooting for some food,
And up through the ground come a bubbling crude
(Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea)

Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
Kin folk said Jed move away from there
Said California is the place you oughta be
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
(Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars)

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality
(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now,
Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)

Umm 60's Lets not go all the way back to the beginning of television when Uncle Miltie was the only crossdresser we knew. Here is a current picture of my sister.

[Julia1996]

Your sister is very pretty too. Should I ask who miltie is?  You make me feel ignorant with these people I never heard of. Lol

[Rayna]

Hey, I'm Dawn's age, and *I* don't know who Uncle Miltie was! I doubt he was as pretty as any of you.

Milton Burle circa 1958  https://www.google.com/search?q=milton+berle+in+drag&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS718US718&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw4ZeMhsPUAhUE5GMKHb3rDOAQ_AUICigB&biw=1522&bih=731&dpr=0.9#imgrc=_

This was Transgender in 1960. I was 9 and already asking my mother to dress me in my sisters costumes, There was also Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in 1959 with the movie "Some Like it Hot".  Tony is Jamie Curtis's father. You know her as the lady on the Activia commercials. Then Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari in the early 80's in Bosom Buddies. We've always been comedy foils. I myself don't see the comedy in it.

Wow. That's totally like sad. That Milton berle guy was hideous.  Most of those pictures were hideous.  That's not comical it totally tragic. I didn't know Tom Hanks did a movie in drag. He's like a major star.

Tom Hanks did a TV series. Billy Crystal played a possible transsexual in the TV series Soap. Everybody has to start somewhere and some of the stars have played in rather different roles.

I shaved my hair yesterday... I think I am over worrying whether people think I am attractive or not. I am not a supermodel, but I am attractive in a quiet sort of way. I see little imperfections in my face. It's not handsome, but it's not ugly. ((like Bella Swan... taking it to Twilight)) I actually like my face. It looks kind of vampirish looking.

The hair shaving was because I was really upset, and I tend to do that to cause excitement in my life. Not long so it's only going to take a month to look the same again...

I'm not going to lie and say looks don't matter, but being comfortable in your own skin is more important than looks. I'm very comfortable with my body. I have a distinguished beauty, so I don't blend in with the crowd. I'm actually consider more attractive having shaved hair lol.

I don't go around telling people it was inspired by Britney Spears though lol.

[stephaniec]

I rely on my therapist alot

I know that feel, OP
It's a terrible feel.
