Okay, this is for non trans stuff (other than MPB issues).
Which of these are you concerned with most?

I think my weight would be my primary concern because when dressing female, I prefer form fitting clothes.

Currently, its my baldness coming back. I'm not bald in the back again, but it seems like its thinning so I'm going back strong on minoxidil and need to get back on spiro too probably.


I do worry about wrinkles a little, but not enough to remember to use creams on my face everyday or whatever. I just mostly need to quit smoking to help that the most.

Ok, I added weight. You can change your vote if you want.  :)

My nose, if that's an acceptable choice.  I hate it.  I feel like my face could pass as female if it wasn't for that horrible beak.  Wish I could rip it off my face.  This is by far the number one non trans thing for me.

Other than that, I would say my shoulders and upper arms make me feel really sad, though I could reduce it's appearance by losing some upper arm fat.  It creates an illusion of bigger shoulders than what's really there.

These are all pretty much equal to me:

Loose skin on belly (needs tummy tuck), saggy butt, cellulite, kerratosis (red bumps all over my upper arms and shoulders), ridiculously fat thighs, scars, stretch marks absolutely everyhwere, pores on my face. ;-; hair coarseness as well, just its natural texture which j fight a lot against. oh, and my teeth which are crowded and got ground down because of an irregular bite and have stains on them. :(

Oh, also my hairline at the back of my neck is very wild..l I worry about it a lot lately since my stylist mentioned I had so much hair around there.

So overall probably skin.. unfortunately most of it is damage already done...

I struggle with combination skin, so I get dry skin and breakouts. It's kinda about finding that balance in skin care...less is more for sure!

Then I have scars from cutting and then stretch marks in places. Otherwise not much from your list to complain about.

Yeah I hear the skin issues. I wash my face twice a day still looks disgusting on one side. :-\

I chose weight though really wish I had more fat on my lower half.

I have all these lol just decided on the one I had more. :P

It's either weight or scars. I have acne scars which I hate, track marks from drug use (I know I'm disgusting but they've been fading [I used clean needles, so yeah]), but stretch marks don't really bother me since their mainly on my inner thighs, though they're really big, my BF has mentioned them and the skin is so thin not to mention they haven't faded since they started when I was like in my teens and are still purplish. I'm actually surprised they don't bother me more.

Then, there's my weight. I can't gain any. I'm under 120 lbs most days and I know I'd look better if I could get back to 125 lbs or 130. But, that seems unobtainable given my frame size.

I obssess over my appearance though and constantly apply makeup, like lip gloss, I did get this MAC glass creamsheen in delight a light pink color so yeah, but yesterday my BF nearly smacked my mirror away cause I kept fussing with it.

I put weight since it's something I can do something about my eating more which I have done but then will stop and not eat for days and only drink gallons of water. The water really helps my skin though. I don't have acne anymore so that's a huge plus....+++++++

It's really important to me to have a slim waist.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

I have been told that I have a very defined brow line  >:(.  While it apparently works well for me as a male, I don't want to be a male and in my mind it gets bigger and bigger as I think more about transitioning.  At this point, I feel like I have the browline of an ape.   :'(

My hair thinning is probably my top concern.  Aside from that, I have somewhat broad shoulders and a very small gut that's just big enough to annoy me.

This was tough for me, male pattern baldness was a very close second but I went with Acne. I can be perfectly clear for a couple days then BAM! I break out. I can't make it a week with clear skin and I have tried all sorts of things. The worst is when I can feel it coming :( I also have some fairly significant scarring. I didn't quite realize how bad it was until I shaved off my beard  :icon_yikes:
Cheers!

I have three I'm more obsessed with above anything else.

My nose, in profile I think it looks like Lois Griffin's from Family Guy.

My cheeks, I wish they were plumper.

And my pores! Would rip my skin off and start fresh if I could!

Not started hrt at this point but hoping it relieves my feelings on the last two. And maybe if my cheeks get fleshy enough my nose won't look so bad! Ahh vanity!

I don't really have wrinkles (though by all rights I should) but I want to prevent them lol.

#18
It's a combination ( don't start singing "it's the Combo Mombo" or I might yank your plug out)

Right now my big concern it is to end up with smooth facial skin, and all the beard hairs gone forever.
   Doing 4 to 6 hours a month of Electrolysis [limited by my work schedule and budget]

Many Items on the list
   Weight issues (too heavy, etc)
     Wrinkles/wrinkle prevention/treatment (I'm over 35)
        Vein/varicose issues
         Male pattern baldness issues

For me, it is simply the non-functioning body and lack of fur.
