Good question. The best part of my body has to be my immune system. I have been strong and healthy and full of life and energy all of my life! There is no substitute in this life for sound health and physical well being!
Ooh good choice! I also have a great immune system, and it makes me confident about starting HRT.
So I'm pre-HRT, born male, non-binary though my dysphoria is pretty binary. What I hate, really, is the flat chest. It makes me hate my sticky-out belly the more by comparison. The fact of having a willy is a sort of constant scream underneath that I ignore most of the time, but sometimes I feel like I could like it if the rest of my body were feminine.
What I like about my body is, my slender arms, my arching back - it goes in, then my bum comes out, yasssss - and weirdly, I like my shoulders. They're small for a boy but big for a girl, but I think big shoulders are hot on a woman. You know what, I actually think my hair is quite good at the moment, but whether that counts as part of my body, I'm not sure.
I guess it's strange how my height (6'2), my nonexistent hips and my size 11 feet cause me such little dysphoria (thought still some!) - I think it's partly practical observation that these things aren't really a barrier to passing, and partly kind of enjoying being a massive woman.
And as a bonus, my most peculiarly neutral feelings towards a part of my body.....are maybe my hands. I think they're masculine, they're definitely big, but somehow it doesn't bother me. Painting the nails and wearing rings and bracelets seems to feminise them.
Oh, and of course, the biggest hate - the vocal cords. The fact that testosterone did this to me makes me eternally furious. I can change my voice, but I will never be able to scream. Yay for the "man voice" party trick, but also, I don't bloody want it.
I think this post comes across a bit braggy - I'm sorry for that! Rest assured that I hate my body holistically. The top-heavy aspect of it is a constant reminder of the XY and it sucks.
