Do you (or did) you think that you used to be attractive as your assigned sex at birth,  ?
Did you ever feel you could have made a good-looking man/woman had you not transitioned?
Or did you just absolutely hate your looks?
What about others - did they find you attractive  ?

I don't know, man... the last time I've been a girl was when I was about 12...!
But then again - I'm pre-T,  .
All I can say is - I do like my looks,  ! You gotta love one's face, don't you think?
I hope I can preserve my face even on T - and only become more handsome  !
I'd like to think I'm attractive as a human being!

Man!!! I can't help myself! Another question  !

I used to model when I was younger due to parents, so I guess I must have been.

I have everyone telling me I was good looking and "why did you wreck your looks?"

Or did you just absolutely hate your looks?

I hated how I looked and would never pose for pictures if I could help it. I stayed away from mirrors too. I would have prefered to poke my eyes out with an icepick given the choice.

As above. yes

Man!!! I can't help myself! Another question  !

I am sure you will be back with more

I am feeling natalie 110% on this. I don't think I hated everything, but I had no confidence in myself either. I just didn't like my old and a lot of things that were on me.

i mean considering i was 12 before i knew i was trans, i can't say much. i think i did (and still do) have a nice face but my hair was AWFUL. i'm so glad to have it shorter now. my body shape is suuuper feminine, and i think maybe if i were a woman i'd think i'm attractive, but as things stand i think i look pretty icky.
i personally think i'd make a better man than i would a woman, my facial shape is a bit more masculine and womens clothes just look no good on me. i think once i'm on T i'll be much more attractive but i can only dream!
some members of my family are the only ones who thought i was prettier before i came out, but i kind of think that's only because they want me to be girlier [emoji53]

Not at all no. I was chubby, never knew how to dress properly or what to with my appearance at all. I think this is why I partly never I had an inkling I was trans until much later in life. I wanted so badly to fit in and maybe if I did the self consciousness would go away.

Now I'd rather be seen as an ugly guy but gendered correctly. I think T has made me care less what others think about how I look and has gradually made me like my appearance. On social media you see trans guys who looked very attractive pre T and even more attractive on T;  that never was gonna be me 

I was told i was good looking. But i always saw a freak. Even now that i look androgynous i find i cannot understand what i see unless i see female. The brain is weird.

This is kind of hard to answer. I looked pretty much the same before transition. Hrt has given me boobs and hips and made my face more feminine but the changes weren't that dramatic . I've never thought I was especially attractive. I hate my skin, eye and hair color. Mascara and filling in my eyebrows and wearing tinted contact lenses helps somewhat but I still hate my skin color.

Would I be attractive as a guy? I really don't know. I started HRT at 17 so I really have no idea what testosterone would have done to me as I got older. My brother once said he wondered what I would have looked like if I had been CIS male. But then he said he couldn't picture it. I would have to say I don't think I would be attractive as a guy. When I first transitioned one of my brother's friends told me he thought GRS was a good idea for me. He said I was way too small and that I would have been a joke as a guy. An insult-compliment.  Guys are good for doing that.lol

That was harsh  ! I've been told too that I'd have made a terrible job as a woman... ! I kind of take that as a compliment!

Yes that's my picture. Having my mom always telling me I was weird looking growing up and hearing the same from kids in school has had a long term effect on me. I'm trying to get over it but it's harder than it would seem.

Omg, Julia, you are absolutely attractive  !!!!!!! The prettiest girl on this forum!!!
How can I say this? You do actually look very beautiful. Honestly. I'm sure others can agree.
That sucks people have been telling you otherwise... That is not true!
Maybe ask Tristan a few compliments,  ?

I still present male for the most part. I've always teetered on androgynous, but not quite. I've been told I'm attractive as both genders but my nose bothers me as female. I feel it's too masculine.

Well thank you that's sweet. I don't need to ask Tristan for compliments he gives me compliments all the time. My dad and brother have told me I'm pretty but they are my family. I could be ugly enough to make an onion cry and they would still say Im pretty.

Well it's good to hear then that outsiders agree with your family, right  ?
You are incredibly beautiful. (Always thought so.)

Plus your hair, eyes & complexion are your best parts  !!!

Agreed, Julia is the darling in my eye.

As for me, yes I've heard it from others that I was cute, but have never thought so.  I feel very uncomfortable about my male self.  I never could have a long relationship because of it.

I thought I was a pretty handsome dude (if I do say so myself).  It just wasn't my first choice in the looks department.  I have no idea what others thought of me.  I did have a few ladies try to flirt with me a time or two.  I was too naive to understand the interaction at the time.

I doubt if I project a flirtable vibe now, at least not for the right reasons.  But, what the heck, I think I look better now.

Julia, you are so pretty you look like a living doll  !!!

I always seemed to be attractive to older women, rather than girls my own age. I really don't have a long history of dating women. Hardly more than a hand full. But, I never got turned down for a date. My mothers praise for wearing my sisters costumes really enforced the Honey Boo Bop in me. I always thought I would be a model. I was tall, skinny 140 - 160 lbs. and that would have been fine with me. I don't look at women with lust but rather I envy them. I want to be them. I have always wanted to be them.  Actually I resemble my father.

No I was a tall skinny kid with spots & greasy hair.

When I was a kid I thought I looked weird.  Looking back at old pictures I still think that.  After I grew up though I thought I looked pretty good.  Occasionally I would get lazy, and depressed for a while and gain some weight but my mirror always motivated me to get back on track before it got too far out of control.
