Things You Like About Your Body

It sucks being transgender. There is no getting around that. I feel sick every time I tie my chest down because I know that it's not right that I should do that because I am a guy and I was supposed to be born one. I feel emasculated every time I sit down to pee. However, there are some things I like about my body. Most likely there are some good things you like about your body too. Here is my list:

- I like that I have plenty of hair. I'm not going to go bald any time soon. xD I certainly have a lot to lose before it gets any where remotely near bald.

- I like some of my feminine features such as my high cheekbones and full lips. These features are considered attractive in guys as well as women. Luckily, these will probably stay with me after testosterone.

- I like that my lower body is pretty male looking when I am thin. Having gained weight my hips have widened but once I lose it it will look male again

- I like that my jaw is kind of squarish. It's not as square as I would like, but it's more masculine than the average female's and it will get more male.

- I like that my predicted height is 5'8". That's average for a male. ^.^ I'm short now (5'4") but it will get better.

- I like that I have average sized feet for a guy.

What do you like?

I like that I am very small for a guy, but average height for a woman. :)

I like that my feet and hands are woman-sized.

I like that my body hair was always pretty minimal, so shaving wasn't a chore.

I like that my bone structure is very thin so I don't have heavy features like brow ridges that will need to be reduced. Maybe just a

little nose and chin work.

Let's see what do I like?

Focusing on the positive side - sort of a new approach for some.

I like my bone structure, very small bones even for a girl - at 6'4" and 320 pounds I can still wear a woman's watch with no adjustments needed - it fits just fine.

What I like about my face - no brow ridge, no square jaw almost no chin at all, full lips with enough color I don't usually wear lipstick, my hair is very long and mostly white with some gray (everyone says it is a beautiful color).

Very thin body hair.

I like my long nails and hair I am so heavy that the budding of my female breast is sort of hidden and viewed as just 'man boobs' but it won't be long before that won't be the case.

My feet are shaped like a woman's because they hurt all day in men's shoes but almost never in women's - more comfortable than my favorite slippers.

All of the things that bothered me as male are great for me now - like never having to tuck (you can figure that out).

Love ya,

Sally

-what i like about my face > my eyes and nose. i have a broad nose which im told makes me look masculine.

-my hair cut

-my back (according to my girlfriend if someone saw me from behind with my top of i wud be thought of as a guy as it looks quite broad and muscular even though i look feminine from the front.. lol)

-My calves- their quite big because i cycle and play football, quite muscular and looks like my dads? - weird i know.. but makes me think im more masculine- even if they dont really have an influence on whether i looked it or not lol

Let's see what do I like about my body.

My small hands and fingers.

My long red hair.

My very sloped brow with no brow ridge.

My sparse body hair, never had chest hair or underarm hair.

My sexy brown eyes.

My new girls.

My happy well adjusted mind on estrogen.

Right now that's all I can come up with.

Here is what I like about my body:

-My hair- short and spikey. Easy to deal with and grabs peoples attention.

-My eyes- they change colors

-My facial hair- despite not being on T, I have quite a bit of facial hair.

-My shoulders- very broad. wider than hips.

-My "man legs"- not feminine at all.

-My body hair- very hairy for a female but moderately hairy for a male.

I like that I'm 5'10" - the maximum height for the greater percentage of women, and model height.

I like that my face side profile is feminine. No plans for FFS.

I like that I never had hair on my torso, and never will!

I like that I started hormones as a stick, and now all weight I've gained has made my figure quite pronounced.

I like that I don't have much trouble finding shoes - size 9.

I like that my adam's apple is very imperceptible, especially after the skin softening.

I like my eyes. I'm complimented daily.

I like that my facial hair is almost gone, thanks to laser on my really pale skin and almost black hairs.

I like that I'm not muscular at all.

I like that I can speak rather well, since I started practicing not too long after dropping in puberty.

I like my breasts. They've got a while still to grow, but they're MY own breasts!

And I absolutely love everything I feel on estrogen. Bonding with my female friends by crying our eyes out at movies. And that hot feeling when, oh you know...

Dang... I feel like a really lucky girl! :D

Some of these are probably weird...

-I like my face. It's pretty feminine, but I just... like it xD Particularly my nose and my eyebrows (which I think are really nifty shapes)

-I like my tongue, and how I can make it look pointy and weird (it kinda reminds me of a lizard tongue...)

-I like my shoulders. They're not super masculine, but they're a little broad and nicely shaped, and several people seem to find them comfy to lean on.

-I like my elbows- they're kinda pointy.

-My wrists are weirdly skinny, but I kinda like it.

-I really would prefer not to have breasts, but as long as they're here, I'm glad they're tiny.

-I like my hair quite a bit. It's naturally kinda of fine/thin (like, perpetual baby-hair xD Only not...), and it's kinda a muddy brown/blond color. But it usually behaves, and I can get it to look pretty fabulous.

-I don't actually mind being incredibly short (5'0"!), except when people try to pick me up. Other than that, I just put on some platform boots and deal with it like a big boy P: (I can't imagine myself being really tall, either. It'd be weird, somehow.)

-My feet are tiny, but that just means I can wear small shoes AND ones that are too big (I've got quite a few pairs of oversized boots P:)

.... yep.

-I like how hair (despite how thick it is and how much of a pain it can be sometimes).

-I like my small hands and fingers

-I sort of like my facial figure.

-I like my eyes

-I like my weight for my size currently (5"9' ish at 150ish pounds). I actually feel somewhat underweight for my body type since I don't eat often (something I hate and I really need to fix x_x)

-I like my height. (I would sort of hate to be short. Being short makes it hard to reach things in a kitchen. <- Proved by the short girl in my culinary arts class. But I hope to find an SO that is taller than me).

Hmm, lets see...

-I take delight in the fact that I'm pretty masculine from my back side.

-I do like my hair when cooperates (black and shaggy on the top, but short layered on the sides and back).

-I have a low brow ridge and caterpillars for eyebrows.

-I have very pretty blue eyes apparently.

-I love my freckles.

-I have delicious manly shoulders. :P

OHHhhhh...oh oh oh oh .....

If you stand about 50' away in a snowstorm at night and squint your eyes....

I look JUST like a woman!

Ok....seriously...

I'm not too big....

Smaller hands and feet...

Big eyes....

Pretty smile...

I seem to pass pretty easy...(never thought THAT would happen!)

I love it!

What a wonderfully positive post :D

- I like my eyes, they are greenish-gray like my Grandma’s and we are the only two people in our family that do not have brown eyes

- I like that I’m naturally thin and have never had to struggle with weight.

- This sounds weird, but I actually like having small feet. I’m a size 5 in guy's, but I can wear a 3 in children’s. Shoes are cheaper and if I wanted to I could have ones with lights on the bottom or Spiderman on the side. Lol

Wow, I really needed a thread like this right now!! Thanks.

1. My height-- 5'10". A good, moderate guy height.

2. My left-handedness. Sometimes seen as a sign of increased testosterone during prenatal development, and/or as a sign of creativity.

3. My waist/hip ratio. True, the hips are larger, but not by much (6"), so I am more pencil-shaped (man!) than hourglass.

That's all I can think of right now, but they are three more than what I started with-- so, thanks!

This sounds like fun...

I like:

-My tiny Hands/wrists/ankles and arms (Ladies 12 in shoes though :()

-My cute little nose

-My mouth is pretty small, but my lips are pretty full

-I've been losing weight, and it's going away from my stomach faster than my chest for some reason

-My hair may be wild, but it's a pretty color

-Other than facial hair, I don't have a particularly masculine face (I think)

Made me feel better :)

I like my blue eyes.

I like my weight. I am 5 11 and 150 pounds. My waist is still shrinking. :D

I like the way I feel right now.

I wish my hair wasn't curly so it wouldn't look bad while trying to grow it out.

I can't wait to lose some of my muscle mass in the legs to look more feminine.

Love,

My long luxurious full bodied wavey dark auburn hair - at age 62, amazingly only a touch of grey

My feminine face - narrow (if long) Merryl Streep nose - my high cheek bones

No Adam's apple - donno how that happened

Beautiful long legs, emphasis on long - now the HRT has rounded them out

My long fingers - my hands are medium for a male, but the long fingers help neutralize that

BREASTS!

I like that my hair is thick on my head and thin everywhere else.

And I like that I'm fat. Seriously. HRT-free curves. And I don't look as tall as I am.

- My legs are really nice

- At 5'11" and 185 lbs, although it's not average, I'm certainly not the largest girl that I know

- I have a somewhat hourglass shape (even WITHOUT hormones :D:D )

- I love my eyes!!!

I like my dark blue eyes, my dark brown hair, the fact that my body is not as hairy as most mens bodies are, the fact that my body can't produce it's own testosterone, the fact that I'm not too tall (I'm pretty much the Western male average) and I like my legs (although I would prefer them hairless).

I also don't seem to have much of an Adam's apple either, but I'm fat so it might just be really well hidden.

I don't have much if any Adam's apple and my legs have always been good - it was embarrassing as a guy - but I love it now!

Love ya,

A definite good thread we got going on here... gotta add mine,

My outrageously intense widow's peak. With my head shaved, it looks even more awesome.

My muscular legs and arms... been told I have the build of a man since I was twelve.

My fat belly which is bigger than my chest, thus giving the impression of moobs so I don't have to bind if I don't feel like it.

My sheer amount of body hair that has only gotten more full with the addition of T.

My facial hair that is starting to come in.

My big veins in my arms, hands, and feet.

My brow ridge and broad jaw that gives me a good neanderthal manface.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
