Title: My nose
Post by: Illuminess on August 13, 2014, 02:20:28 PM
My nose is probably the worst feature of my face, and it bothers me that it won't at all do me any favours with transition. I might be able to afford the HRT prescriptions, and barely afford electrolysis, but everything else I need is so far out of reach financially. It makes me think bothering with any of it won't even matter. I mean, I will be taking HRT for my own comfort and sanity, and I will present myself the way I feel, but I'll still be distressed that certain physical features will contradict everything. It makes me feel like I should just forget this whole process and just endure the dysphoria for another 33+ years. I know that's ridiculous, and I'll probably get over it, but that's just my situation right now. I've always been teased about my nose, and for good reason. It's enormous and wide. Trying to look the way I feel will just come across as weird and unconvincing. I'm normally not even concerned about stuff like that, but this is a serious change and every little thing is beginning to matter.

Here's a sombre looking me with my nose in full force:
