on one hand, it seems really unhealthy for me to have such rigid ideas about how I want my body to look, even if it is very much attainable for me with amateur bodybuilding, conservative facial feminization surgery, common skincare, and feminizing HRT.
on the other hand, I don’t have terribly severe body dysmorphia and do feel happy with what I see in the mirror. I speak more about what I want than what I don’t like about what I have. The negative things I do fixate on (mostly body hair) don’t eclipse anything.
so I do have a problem, but it doesn’t seem severe.

and I am privileged to have a body that, pre-HRT, is pretty aligned with my goals. lots of chest and back muscle to mitigate breast growth, a face that doesn’t look too masculine. i think I can allow myself to get a little carried away with transition goals. Just a little. Gender clinician: sighs dramatically “so I’m just gonna put you down as “still considering” for therapy referrals…”
