    I kind of hate this.

    I’ve known so many trans women who can never reach what they feel is “pretty,” so they don’t feel like women.

    Pretty is an arbitrary, moving goal. Being a woman has nothing to do with being pretty. Lots of unattractive women exist.

      i feel like the comic isnt saying that you become pretty when you realize youre trans, its that the feeling of wanting to be pretty is more validated mentally when you do make that realization.

      not to say guys can’t be pretty or have those feelings, but most of the time thats shamed or not applicable. so eggs dont feel like that desire is something “normal” or acceptable

      Wanting to be pretty is completely optional. Personally I’m aiming more for feral

    Had a weird compulsion when seeing an ad for a dress, went into denial and redirected my focus to something else on the ad for my feelings (a stupid looking hoodie).

    When analyzing these feelings I soothed myself by thinking “maybe I could just dress up mannequins as decoration or something”.

    Most egg moment of my life. It’s like my brain knew and purposely avoided it.
