I feel like my facial anatomy is just destined to be masculine... even androgynous is out of reach. I also need to go to a dentist.
While I did this I gave myself this kinda curly wavy hair and a darker hair color and I really like that. But I look like my ex like that... especially with my teeth the way they are....
I hated my face too... Pre HRT some of my facial features where just so masc, quoting a friend of mine "you got a jawline more chiseled than roman statues". HRT doesn't change bone structure so I was devastated that I'd be stuck with that until I could get ffs. But what it does do however is round off facial features. My jawline didn't go away, it got covered. I'm at a point where I am so happy with myself in general that I can't even describe how it feels. I don't think I could bare even a single day going back to how I used to look...
HRT does wonders. There is no other way for me to describe it. You just need to give it the time it needs
oh god yes the chiseled jawline... mine reminds me of Chad (the meme character)
thanks for the encouragement 🙏
update: I played with it some more and oh my god is it even possible I could be this pretty someday???? I want to post it but then I'd be showing my face 😞
edit: I also don't look like my mom OR my ex this way!!
My advice is to try faceapp on the same picture, once feminizing and once masculinizing to get an idea of what it's doing. I also tried it on the dog and on a baby. It gives very stereotypical features of whatever variety you ask it. Understand that it's just a toy. It's just a toy, but it's also a little dangerous because it promises a falsehood that someone in the throes of dysphoria is susceptible to putting their hope in.
Your transition will be your own and not some AI's hallucination.
I'm always cautious when it comes to AI. Like you said it follows a lot of stereotypes and such, and I noticed it messed with my eye shapes in the picture a little bit. It's why I'll never trust the "AI/AR try on" features in clothes shopping, either (also it defeats half the point of trying it on, which is seeing how it feels to wear).
I feel like I could be a lot prettier, or not. It's a complete mystery until it happens...

If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.

At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
