      I’m sure you look just fine, but as someone who started transitioning late, I definitely sympathize feeling a little insecure. cuddle

      Also, I hope this isn’t weird to ask, but is that you in the pfp?

        It’s about 70% me. I used some AI filters to help with my makeup (I just can’t get the hang of doing my left side) and definitely my hair. I hadn’t discovered how often you are supposed to shampoo it, or developed a good conditioner routine, so it had that bad frizz that nobody likes.

          Well, fwiw if I ended up looking only a fraction of how good you do, I’d consider my transition to be very successful. I really don’t think you have any reason to worry, but again, I totally empathize with feeling self-conscious at times.

              Thanks for the kind words! meow-hug

              I also wanted to say, and I hope this isn’t imposing or anything, but you probably do want to avoid displaying face pics like that on your profile or in posts (we do actually have a rule against self-doxxing for posts), just because we’ve occasionally had issues with doxxing and want to make sure everyone on the site stays safe and I hope that’s understandable trans-heart

    This is dope as hell and super inspiring. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve had your current body and how many changes it’s gone through, you can still do what makes you feel better. It’s about you, not about everyone else.
