      For me I always wanted to be able to wear a sundress. I got one but the do shrek-pixel-despair when I see myself.

        Have you tried a wig? I don't suffer much dysphoria (being genderfluid) but the euphoria a wig gives me as a woman is chefs-kiss

        I don't know your natural hair situation of course, but I lost that genetic lottery so putting it out there what helped me a ton. Now they're another accessory I can have fun with.

        A cheap synthetic can help with some quick affirmation but human hair really is such a better choice and there's plenty of affordable lace fronts on Amazon these days ($50-200 depending on length).

          Cheap, synthetic, obviously fake technicolor wigs are the peak aesthetic and i will die on this hill.

            Aesthetically, absolutely! But I dunno if it's chin stubble or something else but synthetic wigs stick to my face something fierce. I can't stand that constant tickle and itchiness and otherwise discomfort, natural hair doesn't do this to me.

        something that I think people should think and talk about more is that if you go to an informed consent clinic for hrt you can just get hormones for gender dysphoria without it being more specific than that. so like you don't need to make the big commitment of "transitioning" and "becoming a woman". you can just take HRT and see if you like how you look/feel in 6months to a year and decide if you want to take it further than that, keep it at that point or just stop taking them.
