Gwen the Trans BalrogMe: Of course women's value isn't based on their attractiveness!
Also me: Except me, who is ugly and therefore worthless.
timberwraith@YouShallNotPass Yeah, that's a feeling I've felt variations of for... Shit, a few too many years, let's say.
I'm sorry you're experiencing it too.
Does it help to observe that this appears to be a stock internal response for much of the female human populace? [sigh]

I think, perhaps obviously, that I'd feel better about it if I felt like an ugly and therefore worthless woman instead of a worthless woman because I'm trapped in an ugly man's body. Dysphoria just makes everything better don't it? 🙃

@YouShallNotPass Yeah, dysphoria can be a real fucker. I know it well. 🫂

I feel this. When I told my therapist basically the same thing her advice was to not look away. If I see myself, in a mirror or whatever, and think like that to just keep looking.
Not sure how much it has helped, but I can now look in a mirror and see things that I like without being overwhelmed by negativity.

Occasionally I catch glimpses. Not often enough. I hope you get to see more and more things you like 🫂
