Hey, trans followers. Could you perhaps give some advice here?https://twitter.com/mrsnerdz/status/1158477740657565697 …
If it's coming from AMAB trans people: The relationship between prettiness and womanhood is such that old, ugly, or fat women are seen as not fully women even when they're cis. So, there's a logic to a trans women feeling like she can't be a real woman if she can't be pretty.

If it's coming from trans men/transmascs I'm less sure, except that pretty AFABs spend their whole life being praised and valued for their appearance, so maybe it's a feeling that this is all they have and without it they'll have nothing.

i tried really hard for a year or two prior to transition to look as good as i could as a guy. here i am with my stylish glasses and clothes, properly controlled acne, neatly trimmed beard and eyebrows... i looked fine, aesthetically, but it didn't help worth shit.pic.twitter.com/KLji7fMg1P

I developed a pretty severe eating disorder in the hopes that being thin would make me finally feel like I belonged in my body- although I didn't have an understanding of gender dysphoria or any idea I was trans at the time.
