Normal woman or magazine woman

[AlexUABC]

I think a lot of trans girls just like cis women are sometimes influenced by the type of women in magazine ads and movies. that presents us with a kind of sculptural, sexy, attractive woman. but if they look well, not all women are like that. they are all different but the media sell us this concept. in cis women it can cause anorexia, bulimia and depression in trans girls as well but it is added that hormone therapy does not always give you a curvaceous body with big buttocks, big breasts and many girls get desperate and fall into depression. I know cis friends who do not have a beautiful body but their way of being their smile makes their femininity shine and I believe that trans girls should look for that last.

No doubt that I have been influenced by popular culture and what I perceive as beautiful but I really just want to be the best me I can be

This is definitely something worth pointing out as I've found myself being influenced by media with how I should look. I've been finding hope in seeing woman with similar body types to my own that are pretty even though they don't fit the manufactured ideal. So as to what kind of I would want to be, I guess I just want to be my real self, whatever that looks like

Just me. That's the whole point of transition for me. To be the real person who was suppressed so long. I don't care one bit about image or fashion!

I think during my transition my needs changed and to my desire.

I went from a dark desperate life to a full transition.

Now I want to assimilate and blend in as much as possible.

I work with a lot of woman. For my age, I am doing well.

I will never look fully Cis and I accept my path. I definitely am influenced by media and I want to be beautiful inside and out.

I want to be Sporty Spice! Nah, more like, the athletic, 60 year old girl next door. I care nothing of magazine or normal women. Heck there is no way I want to be normal. I want to laugh at my own dumb sense of humor, be kind to others, help them, and dance like my soul is on display for all to see. I want to finish completely embracing my vulnerability and my femininity. Weeeee, it sound so good!

Q.  What kind of woman do you want to be?


A very thoughtful and kind woman, who loves to laugh and enjoy good times.

I don't follow either magazines or the expected norm.

I wish to display and simultaneously enjoy my womanly qualities which have been suppressed for most of my life. I wish to look nothing more than reasonable, to blend in with other women and ultimately to be perceived as a woman. As others have said, I wish to cease acting and just be authentic.

If I can be the way my mother was, I will be happy.  She was a modern thinking woman who liked to dress a little on the elegant side.  I am similar, I was like this when I tried to be a guy, and I am still like it.
My mother is for me the ideal of a woman!

*sigh* I just want to be someone's SOULMATE . . .

so who exactly that is depends on that special "other"! 'Girl' or 'guy' doesn't really matter suppose I've always been able to ADAPT

An interesting dilemma you propose and maybe not quite as apposing as suggested. Yes, I am fairly sure that each of us wants to claim the side of inner beauty but I also believe that many of us want our sack of bones to look as good as possible. For me, a big heart, giving and caring to the max but I still want to look as hot as this 70 plus year old can. I didn't get to try out displaying this new self until my late sixties, missed a lot of chances to wear things that work well on girls less than half my age. Well I am not going there but I am not giving up and accepting the boundaries prescribed for a "Woman of my age". So I choose both sides of this dilemma, big hearted and hot.

The teenager in me wants to look as good as I possibly can.  The realist in me prevents me from desiring to look better than possible.  I try to look good, and I am happy with the result.

The look I go for is a casually elegant mature woman.  Kind of like I remember my mother.

Magazines for women tend to portray what they believe is the ideal woman we mere mortals aspire to be.
Teens especially can be lead on a dangerous path of self desruction, feeling insecure and self conscious based
on how they believe what they should ideally look. Also often heavy influences from peers too.

Personally always sought to be an individual rather then following the trend. Just a normal individual devoid
of following various trends. x
