So I look very ugly and honestly don't look feminine at all and just look like a guy with girls' clothes draped over him. I have been on HRT for a year and 6 months, I went from 4 to 6mg in April and I still look pretty terrible, I am not sure what I can do differently and I feel like maybe I am overweight which ruined my chances at ever passing and I should have lost it pre hrt. all of my selfies including this one are taken at angles to make me look better, this is one of the few photos I have at a normal angle (this was taken before my college graduation) as you can see I pretty much just look like a dude. I am honestly not even sure if FFS could help me or if a doctor would even consider it worth while.

FOR THE DUMBASS PEPES from the troll instances in the comments I will not listening to your comments, thank you.

I know nothing about this subject as I'm not personally acquainted with anyone that has to go through it but, as a woman that struggled with weight well through adulthood, to me you look and sound like a woman who's self conscious about her weight.

There's billions of us out there. What worked for me was just try to stop thinking of myself through other people's eyes and restraint myself for the sake of my health.

I was 30 when a doctor said, if you don't stop overeating now, being fat will be your defining characteristic. That opened my eyes, but still today at 40 and with a healthy weight, looking at sweets and pastries is still an internal struggle, a dialog I have with myself over and over. I suspect it's going to be one for the rest of my life.

Sorry my comment went on a tangent, but to be honest the being a woman part of your post seemed less important, since it's clearly just what your are.
