wow. This topic got me goin'n'ramblin', see below
Early transition? Of course it matters in reaching some female physical characteristics but if your genes say "you're gonna be ugly" then you gonna be, no matter if you're a boy or a girl. And if the genes say you have to be pretty then you'll be.
The main question is, do you FEEL beautiful? Even though I consider myself somewhat ugly for a woman, I still have a radiation most people don't. I always smile when talking to someone and their reaction to that makes me feel beautiful

those girls could be from Mars
err, did you want to say Venus?
btw, why do you want to be like them? Beauty in itself is nothing. Do you want to be an image and no more? I mean, what do beautiful looking people do when they're at home alone? Looking at themselves in the mirror til they get tired and then go to sleep or what?
Would you trade your personality to be like one of them? Think about that.
This reminds me when I was a member of a local T-forum and one of the girls who was deep into transition, started advertising some kind of special diet in her posts. It had nothing to do with being TS or weight loss and such, it was just the weird new diet of the day, usually fed to all the girls and women of the planet, underlined with some pseudo-scientific explanation. I asked her if she wanted to be a woman only to follow the stupid things some marketing execs tell her to? Only because women have the "right" to discuss and try out various diets even if they're totally healthy (it is socially accepted behavior and sometimes a requirement too), just by doing so doesn't make someone a better woman, does it?

not all successful folks are gorgeous
yes, there are some exceptionally ugly among them as well because they've built up their whole lives to prove that they're strong enough to survive without the looks
It sounds like a joke but you rarely find average-looking people among the cream coz neither they have the motivation of the ugly nor the easy chances of the beautiful. For example, my old gf actually liked that I was not the most handsome guy in town (to say the least) because in exchange I had loads of motivation to get ahead, to prove that I'm no less than the others. I was also pretty good in bed, for the very same reason

Such as beauty which is represented by specific geometry of a relationship of form and scale.
That's true, and this is encoded in our brains to be able to quickly identify the most suitable mating partner. And while I know that I can't really switch off those age old mechanisms, I wonder just how much use they have for me. I mean, I can't have children so why would I worry about having the perfect genes for me and my partner? I see it as one less difficulty in my life to think about

ALL girls want that!!!
hehe, first I wanted to say this is a generalization but come to think of it, it may be true. Probably all the
girls want that, but not all the
women. I'm in the second category
When I was a child I often imagined myself as a runway model. And while it's somewhat sad that I hadn't become one, now it's no more than just another dream which I didn't succeed in realizing. There are others I'm working on and I'd suggest the same to you as well
oh and finally two links about beauty which contain some interesting facts and whatnot:
