cw: dysphoria (I’m feeling better now though)
So yesterday I painted my nails with coloured polish (instead of just clear polish) for the first time, and I don’t think my hands had ever seemed as big as they did then :( I just kept thinking that they looked like a man’s hands and that I looked like a crossdresser who was trying out nail polish (it didn’t help that I haven’t had laser on my hands in a while so I could see stubble on my knuckles and stuff)But today, after I’ve calmed down (and the splotches of polish I got around my nails rubbed) I just keep thinking about how pretty they look. My hands don’t even seem that big anymore and it makes me happy every time I see them
Aww, I'm glad it worked out. I just ordered some teal nailpolish today for the first time. I'm so excited for it to show up!

I feel down about my hands sometimes too. The other day some AI gender matching site came up and while I wasn't brave enough to try my face, they did one for hands. I was resigned to accept a bad result for that but then it came up female with a 99% confidence rate and I was just sorta shocked because I kept telling myself how ick they were. Not that the AI is like something that should be taken seriously or worse as gospel but the point is dysphoria is a little demon that whispers lies and make us doubt ourselves and I wish it was easier to see that while we're feeling itI'm glad you're happy with your hands!

Yeah it really is hard to tell how I really look, both because I’m so used to focusing on the things I don’t like and because when I like how I look I start doubting myself and wondering if I’m just seeing thingsspoiler
It's a struggle for sure. Sucks because not only are there all the usual hurdles related to transitioning but the all-encompassing patriarchal shit raining down at all times that cis women have a entire lifetime to learn how to overcome yet trans women/transfemmes need to fight these two massive battles at once. It can be truly overwhelming
