@sophia dang, sucks. also, YEP
the trick(?) is to just post that shit and let people like it before you can self-doubt yourself into oblivion
@Josephine @sophia @alyx Oh my god I do this all the time, and sometimes I wonder if I like some of my photos just because I forgot when I took them, or maybe Google Photos or Instagram flipped them.
@ikea_femme @sophia @Josephine sometimes you just have to accept the world's collective wisdom that you're a cutewitches
it won't sink in right away, you'll know it intellectually yet not accept it emotionally. but it's like a muscle and you get a little closer to self-acceptance each time. then straight-up fuckin' self-confidence
also eating estrogen never hurts
@alyx @Josephine @sophia Yeah, I know I fixate on shit nobody else sees, much less cares about.
What kills me is, I can't tell if I pass to people. The only metric I can trust on this is the number of jerks clocking me, which hasn't ever been high to begin with. I don't think I'm so much cis passing, as just proof trans women can be boring and unremarkable. :P
@sophia @Josephine @alyx Mind you, I live in godless liberal country. Not the nice kind, the kind where the people get snippy if you're in their way and otherwise you're invisible.
