I’ve been on HRT for about 2.5 years now, and I was looking through my old photos both before and after transition.
I was shocked that I thought I was an ugly duckling phase I looked so much more happy and vibrant than my pre transition photos, and how little the things I hyperfocused on mattered. And indeed it turns out I look better when I care about how I look and I’m comfortable in my skin.
Seems obvious now but it’s really easy to get down on one’s self.
It can take a long time to realize this.
