It is becoming more common to see guys with earrings. Thus you might just want to get your ears pierced so that you will feel more comfortable when in girl mode, if you will be able to live it when in guy mode.
Btw don't get ears pierced at Claires. The people aren't roperly trained and you can't clean a piercing gun. Go to a piercing studio which have people who only do piercings for a living and have proper qualifications in regards to health and sanitisation.
It took me a good few months of debate whether to get my ears pierced but I knew I made the right decision. It helps massively to make me feel more feminine and less dysphoric about being too masculine.
I got mine done at Walmart 16 yrs ago and they did a great job.

There's a whole list of problems you can get from use of a piercing gun. You can look it up online if interested.
One think to think of is you can change earing style to match the current day's gender.
I would never say I felt "disgusting". But since I have came out as Trans, I have been wearing panties and Cami's, painting my nails.. etc. I'm 2 months in to HRT, and still feel somewhat masculine. still have a beard, dress mostly in men's clothes out and about. I do still feel a bit on conflict of letting the manly side go cause it's the way I have always been. Even if I was never really comfortable with that identity, there's aspects of it that I may miss. So I get your feeling. Ever since HRT kicked in, that conflict is going away.
