If somebody ever felt jealous of me because of how I look, my reaction won't ever be, "OMG don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" or "ohhh, grant me the strength to shoulder this terrible burden of being so unbelievably gorgeous!!" Reacting that way would be silly, at best.
Regarding the question of the thread, yes I know it exists because if there is anything to be jealous of, you can bet people all over will be indulging that emotion to it's fullest extent. It is a hard one to control. I know first hand because I can be a total jealous bitch sometimes.
This is something I've wondered, is it harmful or helpful when people post pictures on these forums of themselves looking beautiful? I think a lot of people in the early stages of transition find inspiration and HOPE from seeing happy and beautiful trans women on the other side of their transition. On the other hand, people that feel frustrated with how their own transition has been progressing, something I'm often guilty of myself, might find the same picture discouraging.
It's interesting to think about, and I don't think there is a good answer. The only thing I can think of is somebody that hasn't started transition is being assaulted by the full brunt of dysphoria, while somebody in the middle of transition at least has started mitigating some of it. Those who've not yet started may be in the most dangerous place of all?
