@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 For the record, I'm around 5.5 months HRT. My body's definitely more womanly, looking back.

@ikea_femme @sophia @Josephine
5.5 months isn't terribly long. rest assured the Good Things will keep happening and accumulating.
dunno if relevant, but a tidbit i found. fat doesn't just redistribute itself thru magic. first i had to lose it, then regain. THEN it went to new and better places. for 7+ years i still had a male-pattern (imo) belly fat shelf until i happened to lose and regain. now much of my fat's below waist.
also at 10+ yrs boobs are still growing. slow af but i'll take it.
@sophia @Josephine @alyx Oh, first one's around 5 month mark, the older, second one is from less than a month in.
If we're getting in the weeds, I'm taking 100mg x2 spiro, and 2mg x2 estradiol each day.
@sophia @Josephine @alyx Not exactly great lighting in either of these. Fiancee's room has terrible selfie lighting.
