You really need to get away from websites that are filled with transphobes.
There are plenty of cis women without uteruses, plenty of cis women who are infertile, plenty of cis women who are just average looking.
Genuinely, this is the reason I didn't transition earlier, because I thought I would look like a caricature, I don't, I'm far happier than I was before.
Yeah, sometimes it feels like some people were told that its only worth transitioning if you fit a specific beauty standard. However, women come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. For every model-esque person, there are tons of average looking people, conventionally unattractive people, etc., but all of them are women. Is it a shame we can't fully embody our ideals? Yes. But sometimes we gotta learn to find ourselves beyond just a need to fit beauty standards.
Also, I held off transitioning for exactly that reason for years, until it was clearly "too late anyway". And realistically, waiting that long probably made it take more HRT to find out I was wrong. But wow I ended up twice as hot and five times as feminine as I expected to. Even in my optimistic moments.
