Its one of these things. Talking about beauty and attractiveness is one those hot tamale subjects amongst TS; I wish it wasn't!! That way, people wouldn't do the most extreme form of FFS when all they needed was a tweek.
Others seek beauty in FFS the beauty nature didn't give them under the excuse of looking more feminine; its like straight on saying they want to be an attractive women, not just a women, would get them thrown out of the TS community.
My opinion, If your were passable before and do the most extreme form of FFS, your not doing it only for looking more like a women; saying that is kind of insult to the hundreds of millions of women with one of these imperfections: big chins, large jaws, large noses, etc. In fact, most women have one of the "male" imperfections we are trying to dump!!
People do FFS for vanity as much as for congruence; I'd just wish they'd admit this. Its like a bad thing to admit your ripping all your face open because you want to look pretty, oh the horror of vanity... Any cosmetic surgery, until 10 years ago, was seen as a pretty extreme thing to do to oneself; having the FFS works in great part for vanity, I'm sure carries a certain stigma. Better to say its for removing those ugly male trait and avoid scrutiny.
If FFS was seen esthetic decision instead of core identity thing, TS in between them, would be more open in slapping some sense in those that think they need tons of it to look more feminine. For now, we walk on pins and needles and rarely confront those that we think go to far.
Anyway, I do think I look pretty after nearly a year of HRT and a light FFS surgery that I did in parts to alievate my disphoria and in parts because I couldn't stand to be an ugly woman! (there I've said it, slap me now :-). I'm attractive not in a girl next door way, many here are attractive in this way, more in a femme fatale, eat males for breakfast, way (I can live with that... hehe). Now, I just have to put these looks to work and start eating men ;-).
