Honestly, the thing that causes me the most dysphoria are my fingernails? They grow fairly quickly, and if they aren't always super short I feel like everyone's looking at them and assuming my gender based on my hands!! I compulsively cut my nails every other day or so, so that they're always as short as possible. I've stopped wearing nail polish on both my fingers and my toes (despite actually liking the look!) out of fear. -sighs-

Well that was new  ;D!

This is where life begins for me. It's a miracle I finally got it done.


My body is the home of my soul; not the other way around.

I'm more than anything an individual; I'm too complex to be put in any box.

The past is overrated - why stick with it when you are able to recreate yourself every day

  That is interesting. Before I started HRT my nails grew like bad weeds. I preferred them longer though it was noticed from time to time. I found myself worried about it when I had VA appointments and would trim them shorter before going to them. it wasn't too bad as I know in a couple weeks they would be longer again. Throughout my life they were the envy of my lady friends. :-) if only they knew how they looked painted.
  Now after a year on HRT I have female nails that won't grow for nothing. :( they chip and split in ways they never did before. So I've broken down and bought some biotin to see if it will help them. I told my electrologist about the biotin only to learn that yes they can help nails but it also help your hair grown too. She said that's okay we will just have a longer relationship because of it. Ouch!

Facial hair. May it be exterminated when I convince my wife we should spend the rather large amount it will cost! Super close shaving and concealing is time consuming and often doesn't last the day. :(
Every day is a totally awesome day
Every day provides opportunities and challenges
Every challenge leads to an opportunity
Every fear faced leads to one more strength
Every strength leads to greater success
Success leads to self esteem
Self Esteem leads to happiness.
Cherish every day.

Shoulder width, and obviously the poker downstairs gets in the way constantly. The rest I could probably handle, though body hair is really annoying also.

Lets see....

My Sexuality...... - seriously took me ages to figure this sh!t out because of the disphoria, there was a lot of, I like BOYS, AM I GAY? NO I Dont feel Gay, Maybe im Straight? Does that mean i like girls? I dont think i like girls, maybe i should like girls? OH IM a Straight Girl so its ok for me to like boys im not gay

I have Man Boobs cus of my weight.... which makes me look feminine
my voice, sometimes i sound feminine on the phone
My hair, sometimes i like to grow it out cus it makes me feel more girly, but then people start to notice it and i get it cut
My facial hair - i also hate shaving, i mean JUST HATE IT, sometimes i let my beard grow, but then i cant stand it so i have to shave ugh....
I kinda sometimes dont mind having a penis, but id rather not have it/born a female
My disphoria gives me disphoria LOL

New ones

My eyes - want it to be more feminine
My neck - ""                                       ""   
My Skin - how it feels, since doing a subliminal mtf (estrogen/T Blocker) i had no idea just how uncomfortable i felt in my own skin.... UGH 
Shoulder Width - never bothered me until recently
Arm length - I kinda like that i have long arms, but it would look weird if i became female?
My height - i kinda like that im tall, dont want to lose my height
My Laugh? - its kinda girl i think? IDK


For me its always been more about the man role or being the man stirs the disphoria right up
Whose that girll?
ITS CHRISTY
