    Start: Woman

    End: Man (WIP)

    Can’t reinvent myself more than that.

    @edit: Sincerely, accepting myself as transgender was the best thing that happened to me. I went from depressed nerd who sees his body solely as a puppet for his mind to someone who actively cherishes their body. Now I’m reading fitness books and fashion guides because I like my physical existence on earth and want to perfect and protect it. I have a goal on which kind of life I want to have and how I want to look instead of aimlessly asking myself why nothing ever works for me. Being trans is pretty fucking awesome for me.

    It wasn’t always like this, so to my queer friends depressed about their appearance, here is what I needed to read.

        Since I discovered I was transgender, I have been the happiest about my body and its presentation to the world ever since. So I’m pretty happy with what I was born.

        Like, taking it at face value, “be happy with what you were born” is pretty good advice for everyone, cis or not, because swallowing in “waaa waaa I wasn’t born rich and hot and tall like Jason Momoa” pity is pretty pointless at the end of the day.

        Being happy isn’t contrary with wanting to improve what you got. Actually, if you like your body, you are more likely to want to improve it. Even Jason Momoa trains like hell to keep his shape, I assure you 100%. Attractive people still look up for good clothes and beard styles and paint their nails.

        I have a request: if you must write transphobic comments, please use complete sentences. It really throws the reader off when the sentence just
