Okay at the risk of sounding awful, she looks more feminine here than she does now idk. Why not just leave yourself as you are? She looks beautiful here.

Back in the day, people had to be evaluated by a psychologist before being approved for plastic surgery. Apparently, Australia is set to start requiring this screening to check for body dysmorphic disorder and other red flags. Now…I think people should still be free to do whatever they want with their body, but I think offering additional mental health support for those that might benefit from it would be a great thing to offer.

I can say, growing up HATING my nose, there were times when I thought getting a nose job would change my entire life. I’m glad I waited until I was 30 and had researched others’ experiences, so my expectations were more realistic. One person said no one noticed that their nose had changed, but people did notice a slight difference in their appearance and asked things like “did you cut your hair?” When I got my nose done, my mom didn’t even notice. 😂 I’m glad I was prepped for this reaction—otherwise I might have thought I should have gone further. Overall, my surgery showed me that most people don’t notice the little nuances of your face that you obsess over. HOWEVER, it did make me SO much more confident and comfortable taking photos.

I can see how people can get addicted to plastic surgery, especially if you’re trans and “passing” isn’t just an aesthetic choice, but also a means of survival. I can’t imagine feeling like if someone notices my Adam’s apple, I might get harassed or attacked. Or worrying that my straight hips or jaw or brow bone or…whatever the fuck might “give me away”. It must be awful.

She was gorgeous! What a shame.

She was gorgeous, gee

It’s so sad because she was gorgeous to the point I would have never knowns she was trans.

She couldn’t leave it alone.
