I thought I start this thread with someone I think of when referring to beauty of transgender woman and believe me she is as beautiful a person as she is on this picture:

Alexia, while I do agree she is a very hot & sexy transsexual lady, its images like this that can have a serious affect on how you see
yourself as well. And right now Im worried about how images like this have been affecting you recently after your most recent threads
where you have been so down on yourself about your own personal image.

"If a guy tells me I'm hot, then he is only looking at my body,
if a guy tells me I am pretty then he is only looking at my face,
if a guy tells me I am beautiful, then he is looking at my soul."

Real beauty comes from within and I cant see the soul of this lady simply from a photograph... Im not saying she isnt beautiful, I just cant see it
in this photo. And another thing you should realise is that photos, especially modelling photos have been doctored up with photoshop, so this is
no way to judge real beauty. I have been out with some of the hottest looking women that are really ugly when you do get to see their soul.

I believe that we are all really beautiful women on this site, not just some of us, but all of us and real beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

So Alexia, please tell me why your beautiful photo isnt posted up here instead of hers?

Melody I am so working on getting over this issue I am having. I feel like my youth has been hijacked from me and the best years of my life have been and gone. I so wanted to become she, but I chickened out and can only blame my self. There is no doubt in my mind I could have been one of those girls having boys wrapped around my fingers, but time has passed and all I am left with is those images up here nitpicked out of 1000's best face forward. So no, I am not pretty, just the images I portray maybe are, its a kind of a lie, but then it made me feel good about me in sort of dreamy way. Oh well, like I said before, reality is overrated!

There's something about this post Alexia that truly moved me. No, not the picture but your honesty in the follow-up point #4.

Short of the minor physical changes we might be able to get away with, most of us are better off embracing whatever beauty we can muster without regard to achieving a societal vision of feminine perfection. Natal women unfortunately go through this as well.

On a semi-related tangent, I've become a devotee of cosmetics by Bobbi Brown. Now this was started by the fact a wonderful friend of mine began working full time for that line but I've since learned that BB seems to cater to the beauty that is the "regular" woman, for lack of a better word. There is a video that I saw playing at one of her counters where these women who otherwise might be described as ordinary, regular, everyday or non-descript looked absolutely beautiful, radiant, gorgeous and most importantly, natural with the use of this cosmetic line. The point I'm making is that I found this to be inspiring, that it wasn't about the glamour that is seen in lines such as MAC, Estee Lauder or many of the others. Rather, it was products and application that probably speaks to 90% of the women out there who reside in reality. As such, it spoke to me, and it can speak to all of us.

Now don't get me wrong, I can get into glamour as much as any of us but more often than not, I want to be normal. To blend in with the crowd, to feel beautiful without being over the top. BB is an inspiration, much like the Dove ad campaign.

So to bring it full circle, our world is a bit different than that of the natal woman. We have unique challenges to overcome. But something we may share is a desire to achieve an unrealistic ideal based on what society portrays. We're much better off accepting our limitations and doing the best we can. I know I've been much happier since adopting such an attitude. Alexia, from what I've seen of you, you seem to have a lot going in your favor. We can sigh when we see a vision of what could have been or should have been but at the end of the day, we are what we are. I'll quote Bobbi Brown with these 10 points that I find so inspiring that I keep them in my purse so they're always with me...

1. Spread beauty.
2. Do what you love.
3. Love what you do.
4. Keep it simple.
5. Laugh out loud.
6. Go with the flow.
7. Be real.
8. Focus on the positive.
9. Do your best.
10. Just breathe.

I can't tell you how much most of these truly apply to my world. I wish you peace & beautiful tranquility Alexia.

Alexia,

I feel exactly the same as you in that not only my youth, but my childhood as a girl was stripped away because I was born a true hermaphrodite but assigned as a male soon after birth. And I seen a better image of myself at the age of 26 way back in 1988 when I dressed up as a female one night for a girlfriend after she did my make up and asked to put on one of her trendy outfits.... much to my own amazement I was the spitting image of Marie Fredriksson from the popular pop music duo, Roxette who I absolutely adored at the time. You can see a photo of me below as the androgynous male I was back in 1988 & see the similarities I shared with Marie Fredriksson at that stage of my life.

Now all my life I have dreamed of being female and if I was allowed as a child to live my life as I should have there would be little differences between me and a natal female. But my father tried to beat the girl out of me which was all in vain, is all he managed to do was cause me to harbour lots of shame & guilt which has caused me so much pain all of my life. I first thought seriously about having a sex change at the age of 15 after seeing the movie about Christine Jorgenson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen), thats how serious of an issue my gender dysphoria was. But finally at the age of 47 years old I got brave enough to take action and started to transition because I couldnt handle the image of what I had become as a male which you can see in this thread here (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?131545-Boy-Mode-vs-Girl-Mode-Pics-II/page16).

Now my main points are this.... I dont worry now about what I could & should have done, I think of what I can & will do to fix the problem.

From a physiological point of view, I know Im far from being the most beautiful looking woman in the world, but from a psychological point of view, I know I am a very beautiful woman from the very core of my soul. By living as my true self and being proud in who I really am & what I have managed to achieve. I feel happy and at peace for the first time in my life. There is no way I could ever think about giving up the journey I have now undertaken and go back to what I was before. I know there are lots of people out there now that see the real beauty in me.

Im amazed to think that guys now rate me as a 9 or 10 on person.com in the HotorNot photo competition there. Sometimes I have questioned their judgement & wondered if they needed their eyes checked... but I also know that I am really happy & at peace and I think that is what is shining through now in my photos. I think I have said it before that sometimes we can be our own worse critics when we shouldnt be.

When I asked you in my earlier post why isnt your photo up here, I want you to post a real photo of you, nothing doctored, just plain old ordinary photo of you. And if I can give you a tip when you have that photo taken I want you to think about who you really are on the inside... are you a man or are you a woman & how do you really feel about living as your true self? Then I would like to see it posted here and see what others have to say about it. I am sure you will be amazed at the feedback you will get.

I also think the 10 points Sara posted are also really good things to hold onto and never lose sight of...

1. Spread beauty.
2. Do what you love.
3. Love what you do.
4. Keep it simple.
5. Laugh out loud.
6. Go with the flow.
7. Be real.
8. Focus on the positive.
9. Do your best.
10. Just breathe.

And just like Sara, I too can't tell you how much these things also truly apply to me and my life. So I would also like I wish you peace & beautiful tranquility Alexia.

I think all the trans girls on this site should post their photos here, because they are the most beautiful trans girls I know. :doll:

We all see what we want to see. If you feel tattered low and depressed inside, you may have the face of Helen of Troy but see only a Medusa.

Look ALexia, many many GGS too feel as you do. And intensely too. There is severe pressure to look a certain way. Look at the women who die of eating disorders. The women who are cosmetic surgery addicts. The women who exercise till they are only bones.

When a lady who was once full of vitality is sounding uncharacteristically depressed (and has been for several weeks) it is time to wonder. Is it gender disphoria or Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). If you find the pain is too intense, I hope you will get professional help. You need to acertain this is not depression. If it is, you need to get it treated.

I must ask.. are you eating well? Clinical depression can be the result of vitamin deficiencies. Right eating is underestimated.

Alexia yes we live in an unequal world. And yes the first way to release the pain is to acept it is an unequal world and there will be always someone we feel is better than we are. But how we deal with that information is also important. If you are going to get competitive you will go towards sorrow. If you compete with yourself, you will only get better and happier.

Hi MelodyN,
I love your response to Alexia. You have captured my own view of the "unnatural" competitive pressure culturally placed on Women to meet some standard of female excellence that only photoshop can reach! I totally agree with you (in my words) that the attribute of "beauty" is just not appearance but a combination of attitude, health, and a spirit of enjoying life. Hugs, Catina

Never one to miss an opportunity...here is your resident squirrel...:D

(Edit) Let me add here. For the longest time I hated myself, like many here. But as I progressed through transition, I have felt better and better about who I am. And this confidence shows in one. So what is important to remember is that as you progress many things will fall into place, and you will start to fell better about yourself...trust me on this.

Hi Alexia....I am sorry that you are going through this...i go through it ..i feel alot of sadness on the inside about what i missed out in life..but here i am AND i'm DETERMINED to make the BEST of it..

melody is saying some really important things for everyone going through transition..
the practical knowledge i'd like to give you is this...beleive it or not..if you really get through a transition and you live full time as a woman for an extended period of time you will find out that transition has NOTHING to do with how you look. Transition is about learning to be yourself..and that is so much more gratifying and meaningful than anything i could imagine

Please dont get me wrong ...looking good matters, and some folks say it matters alot ...
i enjoy feeling and looking my best, i want to be pretty, i want to feel sexy ...etcetcetc...
and NOT looking like a woman makes transition much harder, thats why we go through all the crap to change our appearance

but the feeling of being a whole person with a real life and honest sense of your own place in this world is what it is all about..

now this honest sense of yourself may include wanting to be beautiful...i share wishes like that and most of them will never come true..but they are my wishes

so my practical advice is to start wishing and dreaming about YOUR OWN female ideal, your own sense of a feminine self and stop looking around at everybody else...i know...i did exactly what you are doing now, and it got me nowhere.

I guess I will jump on the band wagon, but I have also included a photo of what I looked like as a male before I started transitioning & I am posting this when I absolutely detest photos of my former male self & but I will post it to show why I do look forward in the most positive of ways & never look back.

THere's a saying I'll add:
Don't compare your insides to others outsides.
Physical looks change with time- even for those teen-to-20-somethings that are held up in this society as the gold-standard of beauty. One day they'll look back & wonder what happened.

Kathryn Martin
10-09-2010, 08:52 PM
My most beautiful trans women are here. I can think of many that come to this board. Among those are you Alexia. I so understand the struggle you have but think of it this way: I have lived with Martin for 56 years, Every day I have looked in the mirror and that is who I saw, carrying my face. Beyond this, underneath and inside Kathryn was always there, grew and flourished even before I was ready to say, yes Kathryn you are me.

I have found lately that I have to learn to see Kathryn when I look in the mirror. But alas, Martin is always there looking at me. Today, Elizabeth told Kathryn (sorry in this case for speaking of myself in the third person) that I was beautiful. And I realized that I still see Martin and dream Kathryn. And that is when it dawned on me, no longer will I look at Martin when I look in the mirror but myself, Kathryn, and I am beautiful. I am like every other woman on this planet, I work with what God or nature has given me and in working I become beautiful, every day for the rest of my life.

Life is never a waste of time, years of life are never wasted. You would not be who you are today without it. If you live in the past instead of the present and the future you will forever live a life of regrets, resentments and dreams, and over those you will forget your beautiful self, your beautiful present and your beautiful life.

So be beautiful for the rest of your life.:love:
Kathryn

Whle we're at it... did anyone catch Christine and Lisa on Oprah week-before-last? Christine is the blond (on the left in the 3rd pic) -- they're a lesbian couple with twin babies. Back when Christine was Chris, she froze her own sperm. Hence, after meeting Lisa (they didn't meet until long after Christine's SRS), they decided to have children. These pictures do NOT do justice to Christine, by the way. She's absolutely beautiful.

there was a stunningly beautiful "librarian looking" woman that ended up letting her hair down and looking like a supermodel...i always felt like i wanted to be her.....

she;s a good example of the unattainable beauty that I had in my mind for many years...when i "imagined" living female, i had her in my mind...

Thank you, Alexia. This should have been your first offering in this thread!

I'm not going to scare anyone with pictures of me - much less of "him". Unlike Alexia or Kaitlyn, I have no chance of ever becming conventionally beautiful on the outside, I just try to accept what people tell me that I am becoming pretty and that is good progress for me after 54 years of knowing he was ugly. My other goal is to attain a small proportion of their inner beauty (the type you don't see with the naked eye).

Hon, this is what I said several posts before and still see a guy in the pictue, when I look at your avatar all I see is the woman on the bench in the park. I suppose just like it is possible to be overly optimistic about ones appearance we can do exactly opposite as well. I am having hard time with my image perception, you have hard time with yours. All I am saying is that if the person in the avatar is you there is no need to feel any discomfort about your appearance, although I feel weird saying those words my self since I am the one who started this whole mess in the first place.
But take it from me, I know!, apparently I am a librarian.

That is funny you should say that. At my last filming I tried redhead (my natural color) and they came out so 60s that I kind of stashed it away. But I am slowly gravitating to that look, well I don't know it would fit the librarian type anymore, but hm.................

o this is 40's and 50's hairdo. the 60's had long hippie hair. (and before I suffer from a big attack of nostalgia let me end) The two eras I mentioned were the last of the sexy feminine dressing. After that the 60s was andro and the 70s got women into trousers if I remember.
So be a 40s and 50s lady. I must search for my old dress pattern books from the 1950s.

Alexia, welcome to real womanhood. Way too many women cannot see themselves as the beautiful people they are. My wife is a good example. She has picked up more than a few pounds over the years and when she looks in the mirror all she see's is fat and unattractive. This is the same woman who gets hit on twice while waiting at the baggage claim for my flight to come in.

Yes, it is truly a Cinderella story, and both women have naturally good looks (from a Western standpoint) ... note, that is Christine McGinn, one of the American SRS surgeon's. While I've no particular knowledge of any extra surgeries, I'd say it is likelyl there was some carefully done FFS. She is quite striking, you can see videos of her on her web site.

Alexia, welcome to real womanhood. Way too many women cannot see themselves as the beautiful people they are.

This is all too true for many women, and my girlfriend is another example and yet many people think she is stunningly gorgeous. My girl's insecurity about her looks started when she was a teenager and she suffered from bad acne that has left some scarring on her face and in her mind. While she sees it, other people dont. This problem manifested & was made much worse because as a teenager when she got teased by her brother & his mates who called her names like 'crater face' & 'pimple face'.

However I proved to her how beautiful she really was when I took a series of very stunningly gorgeous photos of her - when she seen then photos she cried because she realised at that point she was beautiful. However she still has trouble accepting it - the emotional scars run very deep from the teasing she endured as a teenager. She is still very insecure today about her looks and feels that she is in competition with other women & yet if she goes out, she will get hit on by guys more than any other female in the place. Living with her insecurity issues was virtually impossible for me & was also another reason who I left her 5 months ago because, she would always think that any woman that walked through or crossed my field of vision I was perving on them or would have some unfounded belief that I thought they were better looking than her.

This insecurity issue my girlfriend had caused lots of arguments between us & it got to a point where I had enough of her false accusations & her jealousy. I warned her many times that it would be the cause of us to break up & it did. So I moved out because I really wanted to live my own life & I couldn't focus on dealing with my own issue with my Gender Dysphoria & starting my transitioning if I had this constant distraction going on from my girlfriend, so this is why she didnt hear from me at all for over 3 months.

I have also resigned myself to the fact that we can never live together again because of insecurity issues over her self-image. The main reason why is because that 'Green eyed Monster called Jealousy' reared its ugly head again just the other day when I told her about a transsexual girl who was going through a really bad crisis and that I had to call a give her some support. My girlfriend got angry at me about this and at that point I walked away again - I have since warned her that if the insecurity issues continues, then it will destroy more than our relationship - it will destroy our friendship and that she will lose me also as a friend if it continues. So I am glad that I'm not to be living with her now because I can simply walk away from her problems & issues when it gets too much for me to deal with.

The moral of this story is this - self image insecurity issues do cause a lot of unnecessary problems and if you don't deal with them then it does affect other people around you and it can be the reason why you do lose friendships and relationships, and you do suffer with this type of issue then you really only have yourself to blame. My advice is this, If you suffer from such issues, then seek professional help before they do even more damage to yourself & your own life.

Hey Melody, I am sorry for the brake up you had to endure, I know any time relationship comes to an end, void sneaks in regardless of circumstances. We deal with issues all day long and weather self image or some other psychological hiccup, it is almost inevitable to feel shook up. I guess the only weapon against feeling the bumps is a good suspension, the flexible and unbreakable the one which lessens the weight of a problem to just an insignificant bump. Such can be paying lesser attention to these problems but then we often get blamed for being shallow and inattentive. So I think overall bumps are bumps and there to be felt. As long as we know we have each other, to hold and comfort the bruises we endure, we be OK.

Melody it's tough for anyone to get over torment about how they look. You did try to help your friend . And that is about all you can do. Kind of you.

this may be a little off topic and a little late but just wondered anyone got a opinion on this....well i have been noticing a huge seperation between the model type trans girls who usually start transition stage early 20s if not teens...and of course they all look great....nothing against the later in life transitioners but its clearly noticeably different....i would imagine the great looking ones that you see spent quite a bit on different types of surgerys to look that good....but sometimes i wonder.....u see all the great looking ones.....u see all the older ones....but what you dont see is the ones who didnt make it....the ones who had trouble passing and coulldnt get or keep a job because of it...maybe they ended up homeless etc......sometimes think thats the only thing held me back this long

Just to get a little off topic with you... they're pretty visible on the net. Many are entrepreneurs or work in the arts or academics, especially in my own observation. There are stringent anti-discrimination laws BTW. And people are getting more accepting everyday. Funnily, people react the way you expect them to react. But all this in another thread. I dont want to hijack this one. :)

Here I am, late to the party as usual.

Here is my take on girls like us. It is true that we all have an image of what or who we think we will become after transition. Some do become beautiful sexy girls with little surgery and it is hard to tell there was any maleness in their past. That is just good genes. Some never really do become very feminine looking even with the surgeries. Then there are those of us that become middle of the road everyday girls. Beauty is not everything. I am sure you have heard the saying, “ Beauty is skin deep”. Every woman is beautiful, some show it with their faces, others show it with their hearts.

For us, becoming a girl is 90% mental and 10% physical. If you are not mentally prepared for transition you are not going to be satisfied with the outcome. You will be just as unhappy then as you are now if not worse. From the start you must be 100% committed to accept the changes in your body, mind and soul and realize the limitations of transition. You must be prepared to accept the “final” results whatever they may be.

Alexia, from your picture you are a good looking woman. From your text, you are a beautiful woman. Be paient, it doesn’t happen over night.

That saying is another example of people confusing beauty and comeliness.

IMNSHO, it is comeliness that is skin deep or even in the eye of the beholder. True beauty starts in the heart and works it's way out from there.

Yes my dear Rianna, I had considered using the word comely but then you may have been the only person that understood.

I don't know about TS, but I figure most closet CDers do their own laundry because the 'wife' might notice the extra panties! ...oh, those, umm, sorry, they were going to be a surprise...for your birthday, next April?

Whle we're at it... did anyone catch Christine and Lisa on Oprah week-before-last? Christine is the blond (on the left in the 3rd pic) -- they're a lesbian couple with twin babies. Back when Christine was Chris, she froze her own sperm. Hence, after meeting Lisa (they didn't meet until long after Christine's SRS), they decided to have children. These pictures do NOT do justice to Christine, by the way. She's absolutely beautiful.

Wait... Dr. Christine McGinn? The former pilot who is now a cosmetic surgeon who performs mainly on women and transgendered/transexual people? wow. Was just asking about her in another forum. Here's her website btw...
