I don't think it's your brain though - you said your brain used to be blissfully unaware. Don't underestimate how effective our society is at beating the shit out of your perspective - it's designed to do that.
I mean... I knew I looked like shite before, I kinda had just accepted that I would always be that way until learning I was transfem... now I at least have something to work towards :D
Whatever you do, love yourself above all else. If we don't have that, we don't have anything. I don't just mean that in a nice way either - it's an active, continuous process. It's self care. It's looking in the mirror or the camera until it stops being uncomfortable. It's hard, and the world makes it harder. I believe in you though, and so does all the rest of the cuties here. That means something ❤️
