I have dysphoria about my eyebrows?

[Astxl]

Honestly, since i have 12 years old I start to fix my eyebrows for myself because without plucking, honestly they were nice, but they have clear hair that needs to be removed, and from that age I depilated my eyebrows in many ways, until today, I am 15 years old and still with that problem.

When I let them grow, and I try to remove the excess hair, I admit that seeing my thick eyebrows gives me displeasure, because I feel that I look masculine or something, even if my friends or my family tell me that they are fine, I am the person who feels dysphoria about that, and i'm trans and i feel it different than them because they are cisgender and i'm not, and ever time i want to validate myself as a girl like the others because i am one, but, i born different.

And when I fix my eyebrows a lot, it makes me uncomfortable, because they look thin and I don't like them, and I don't know what to do about this, but i see other girls in tv or pics who have "perfect" eyebrows, and i'm like... Why i can't look fine like them?

Am I the only one who has this problem? Thank you.

Oh, and another thing Astxl...
Thank you for submitting your informative and interesting first post.

Regarding your question about your eyebrows, if you can, find a girl about your age or another female that you feel comfortable with considering your transition plans, and have her help you with eyebrow shaping and thinning.   Most of us that are transitioning from Male to Female have experienced this eyebrow problem that you described and, for me, I initially had some female friends assist me with my eyebrows... then later on in my transition I had the shaping and thinning done in a beauty salon....  it was important to me as it is for most MTF transitioners to get that one important visual clue to your female appearance taken care of so I could move onto other important transitioning issues.

Since you are 15 years old and one of our younger members please find your way to
a more youth-oriented   Youth Introductions Forum...

You will also find an entire  Youth Talk Forum  section that with have other younger members there that can share possibly more relevant information with you.
   
Thank you again for joining Susan's Place and being involved in the Forums here.
Best wishes to you,
Danielle

Hey, thanks so much Danielle <3

My answer for know me a kinda :3

About the transition, I am on hormon blockers a long time ago and about estrogen I am with them since I was 14 and a half (all medicated by an endocrinologist obviously) so, I do not like to say that my eyebrows have something to do with the transition? I am a girl, apart from having a penis that I hope to reassign to my true genitals, like those of any girl, thats the end of my transition for me, so you gotch me now?.

Your answer honestly did not help me so much, because you literally have not said anything that I have not tried in all these years about fix my eyebrows.

Is it just something that I may have to get used to living? the dysphoria will never disappear, but most of the time, living full time, and hormonerte and if you spend quite well as a woman, the dysphoria if relieved.

Dear Astxl:
No problem, your English is much better than my Spanish. 
I fulyl understand what you wrote.

My only suggestion is perhaps try going to a different or better hair salon or beauty salon and have your eyebrows professional shaped and trimmed.

Wishing you well.
Hugs,
Danielle

It's hard to say without seeing your eyebrows, but I imagine since you put so much thought and effort they must be very nice. You're right that since we're trans, we deal with these (so called) "simple" things in a very critical way...
If I'm not mistaken, you've been on hormones for 6 months? It may just not be enough time to give you the changes you want, even your eyebrows.
I'm 15 months on hrt and it took a while for my very boxy and masculine eyebrows to elongate and have subtle arch... I understand your concern because eyebrows are a "small" detail that can make a big difference... Eyelashes too.
Good luck!

We are all different!  I wish I would have thicker eyebrows, and have to do a lot of pencil work to make them visible.

I even plan to get my eyebrows tattooed onto my forehead, because I have so little and light colored hair there.  Again, everybody is different, but that makes us not more or less female, it is just some hair that can be taken care of, in your case with different removal methods, in my case with getting tattooed eyebrows.  Whatever helps and makes you feel good, is the right thing for you!

Sometimes you have to give it some time and a couple of attempts. You will probably learn or discover with time. Look up technics and explore.

Wish you the best!

So Spanish is your first language? I live in Florida and there are places here where everybody speaks Spanish as their first language. You sound just fine to me.

I am also in south Florida, and I am the only home owner in my street who is not a native Spanish speaker.  I wish I would be able to speak decent Spanish!
