I've been on HRT for 3 years, and I really have lost all hope that I will ever look like a girl or be gendered correctly or even just be treated with dignity. I'm really ugly and honestly I can tell, people lie and say well it's your personality that matters. It's really not that hard to see, and I am wondering if there is a point to spending 120 dollars a month, just for peace of mind.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but some girls are just ugly? This isn't even me making a judgement call on your pic, because even though I don't think you're ugly, telling you as much isn't going to change your mind.

One of the most important things I learned during transition is that I can't transition into a super model. I am what I am though, and no one can take that from me.

Being on hormones isn't about being pretty, it's about whether they're right for you. Societal beauty standards are never going to provide you that validation, even if you meet that standard for now. Because you will grow old, and you won't fit into them anymore. Self-love is forever though.
