Hello everyone,
I just came out to my parents this week. Everyone took it pretty well, except my mom. She was pretty hurt. BUT she's getting better. Still, she said some things to me like "you're too tall to be a girl," and "what about your hair." Stuff like that. Well, I know she didn't mean anything to hurt me, but now I feel less confident than I was before about transitioning. I'm worried that whatever hair I have lost won't come back through treatments that I have researched and hormones, and I am worried that my shoulders are too broad, and that my hands are too big. The usual stuff. I'm not worried about my curves, or my breasts, because I know the estrogen will help. And I'm not worried about the face because of estrogen and any possible surgery I could have. I'm just worried about the hard things like mostly my hair and shoulders.
If there are any words of wisdom, or helpful hints/tips, or just kind words of encouragement, please let me know!! I want to be a beautiful woman. But I feel like if I can't look how I want to look then it won't be worth it. I know that sounds so unlike being transgender. I want the body so badly. I want the clothes and the life. But I'm just afraid of not looking as beautiful as I used to think I could look.
Many women wear wigs, many women have broad shoulders. E does fantastic things for some, less for others. The mental relief may be enough to make it no longer really matter.
