I did a fun (for me) science thread, but I promised I'd do a thread about trans men, virilismia, and the stigma against ugly women, so let's go! To start out: Are you a trans man whose spent some part of your life being perceived as an ugly woman? What do you make of that?

A big part of it, for me, is that I was a “pretty” girl, at least pretty enough. And as I transition, instead of looking like the mysterious handsome agender cryptid of my dreams, I’m turning into an “ugly woman”.

I didn't go there in the thread, but for almost all trans men "ugly woman" is a phase our appearance will go through. Its hard already and that extra stigma makes it even tougher.
