Are you comfortable in your own skin?

Are you comfortable in your own skin?

[Mirrabooka]

Absolutely! Well, mostly. Kind of...

 

If I need to give a binary answer, then it is undoubtedly yes. Since my awakening, when I came out to myself and accepted it totally, I have felt a permanent inner glow ever since. I am head over heels in love with my inner woman.

 

Sometimes I might want more, but I don't need more, even though the thought is enticing. I'm in my happy place right now.

Sometimes. I just wished I had a typical feminine body. I get constantly clocked and fear for my safety. I do know how to defend myself but it shouldn't come down to that.

no. I can't even touch my skin without screwing up my face and trying to get away

 

sadly, I realised recently, that with all the plastic surgery in the world, nothing would make it better.

My skin is NEVER wholly comfortable due to an innate immune system issue, and that is one of those things that HRT and GCS have not improved for me.  It is another part of me that while I do not go out of my way to talk about it does not prevent me from going out as I am and just being part of people and does not shield me from issues with people that just have to H8 in order to live. (I was attacked more often for the skin condition by family and school classmates about it than I really ever have been as Trans.)  I get that this topic actually means the figurative sense of alleviating our Dysphoria, and becoming comfortable showing the public our Authentic selves in a way that just makes us human and part of all life.  I am out daily and live fully as who you see in my Profile picture and the changes now are simply going to be by the renowned face and body changer TIME and aging and the impressions of people for whom I have been a friend.
