    Oh thanks so much for this post it was really beautiful ❤️ it really resonates with me as well as someone who lost their hair in their early 20s, it absolutely devastated me and I thought I would never be pretty but then I was reminded by myself that I never much cared what society thought anyways, I was always into subcultures like industrial, the rave scene, goth club nights, so I am just finally living it. I feel like I have so much beauty and love bursting from me now from finally letting myself be myself, that it doesn’t matter and I’m going to maybe do some fun stuff like paint some flags or flower or something else on my head with some makeup, I dunno we’ll see!! I know I can make it work

    I did post my story here in the c/translater section, where I go into what happened and why I am transitioning so late, it’s never too late and everyone is beautiful 💜

    I really enjoyed this. I fully expect to be clocky for the rest of my life but I’m not letting that stop me. The thought that I might die a man is scarier than any version of “people think I’m ugly”. I thought I was an ugly man anyway.

    This was a great read and I really needed it right now. I’m a brick and that’s okay, I’m beautiful in my own way. I’ll find a lipstick that compliments my mustache!
