Title: Share some positivity - things you like about your body
Post by: objectionyourhonour on August 22, 2016, 07:19:59 PM
Hi everyone,

Thought this might be a fun/motivational topic. Lots of trans narratives talk about being 'born in the wrong body' but there are nice things about everyone's body, even if certain parts are not quite as they should be. So share something you like about yourself and spread the love!

I'll start; I have nice eyes.

I never get sick.  It might be the wrong body but its immune to abuse.

Hair. People have always complimented me on it, including before transition. I'm pretty young looking and i think estrogen has made me even more youthful. I like my butt and my breasts newly impress me on a regular basis. I like my legs in general as well.

Oh boy funzies!  In just three short months, the hormones have grown me the most amazing butt and a cute little pair of bewbs.  But now that I can fill out a pair of shorts or a bikini bottom like nobody's business, I just love my butt!

My body?  It's a great platform to build myself on.  Good bones for another remodeling project!

I like the effects of E. I would not trade my feminine figure for a new car.

I always receive very nice comments about my eyes. To be modest  ;D they are gorgeous grey,blue green with some color change, mood dependent. They look even better with the way I am now applying mascara and liner

I am physically stronger than most cis-women, despite my daily drinking alcohol and smoking.

I just started hormones but have been on low dose Spiro for 25 years and I have the nicest set of little knockers. I also notice they are getting a little more pert. As they used to kind of droop. And I have always had nice long legs with no / little hair. It all migrated to my butt. >:-) :D

I like most of my body that's below my neck (I've never found my face that attractive), even though I frequently long for a female body nowadays.  I'm in pretty good shape, and so my body treats me well and looks nice and fit.  I particularly like my butt; it's a nice size and shape ;)

Everyone tells me I have beautiful legs...as a male I was told I have "chicken legs", but as a woman, very long and sexy.

I always saw my hands and feet as being too large...ok for a guy, but too big as a woman. Then after I met my wife, I was so jealous of her hands and feet, they were just the right size! Imagine my surprise when we put them side-by-side and they were the same! I really had to work to overcome my dislike of my feet, now it's all good.

Shadows of my breasts...and the breasts themselves! Very attractive imho.

My neck has gone down in size a bit (yay! Weight loss!), it really helps my face + head appear more feminine! (Posture is very important, btw)

I have a strong ability to build muscle memory, really good fine motor skills and in the things I like to do these last me feel graceful - not a bad proxy for feminine.

However your question is dysphoria enhancing for me. For all the positive things it's afforded me, I think I will carry resentment for the equipment I was issued to for the rest of my life. The best I ever felt about my body was when I was in my best climbing and triathlon shape, body fat down below 15% etc. Even then, the pain of being male and a poor prospect for passing made my feelings pretty ambivalent.

A guy I met for the first time on the bus to an air cadet camp told me I have a very masculine voice... :'D
When I'm talking to teachers at school it goes all high though, no idea why but it's annoying as hell.

I like my eyes too. Or just blue eyes in general, to be honest

I got complements on my legs for a long time and just recently Monday. My nose is very nice as well as high cheek bones. I have blue green eyes that in the light are very nice.
