I have a lot of issues with myself, including my own body.
But it still blows my mind that I'm hot nowadays.
And not because I'm that conventionally hot, although transition has helped change things in a pleasant direction, immensely so.
It's that one thing I heard once kinda changed my mindset completely.
Natalie Wynn, known on YouTube as Contrapoints, said in one of her videos (and I paraphrase) that the purpose of having a personal style is that if you can't look beautiful, you should at least look interesting.
And she's right. Finding the way *I* look has made me legitimately hotter.
You should do that too. Especially if you're transitioning or want to. But I think that applies to everyone, trans or cis. Being yourself will make you look good.
I don't mean that just in the supportive "be yourself! Fuck the haters" way (although that too). I mean in the sense that having a firm idea about your looks is a great way to show the world how *you* wanna be attractive.
Don't underestimate the power of that.
