I deeply struggle accepting my height because each time I see myself i see a girl

For context : 18yo, 4ft11, 47kg, 11 months on T
The title is a bit confusing, but basically since i am so short i feel like my whole life is going to be a futureless mess because each time i see myself, or see the things around me being so weirdly tall compared to me, im like wtf, and everyone genuinely thinks i am 13-14yo since NO (except like 2 other dudes somewhere probably) is a 18yo 4ft11 cis man. Kids are often taller than me and it just sucks. Its been a year + im trying to deconstruct this whole « tall height = masculinity » thing, and i simply cant do it. I want to stop my transition sometimes cuz im like whats the point in continuing if i feel like this my whole life, even seeing my own body gross me out because the dimensions are fucking icky, same in the bathroom miroir that i just see my belly bottom and up since the thing is « too high » . I dress 14 in teenagers. (Canada based)

Also this is not about passing because i pass most of the time is really just that constant inner feeling of being grossed out by myself that can’t seem to go away wathever i try/do

I need advice on how to get out of there mentally

Acne is getting bad

My levels are perfectly fine (got em checked like 1 week and a half ago) but all of my cheek acne appeared suddenly in the laps of two months, before i had nothing and now it looks like this. Its honestly pretty painful, but luckily im not super self conscious about it cuz im like it eventually gonna go away (and i think i have other things that i am way too insecure about to care about this tbh) its just that its getting worse and worse and im kinda over it, its super itchy and lowkey painful, i have an appointment in a week ish to see a doctor, but im scared he will just say « its because of that testosterone you’re taking, i recommend stopping it », i will never stop T. i am soon 11 months on T, and also no one in my family, man or woman, got acne during puberty or adulthood, and i didnt have any during my first puberty

Does someone have similar experiences having a suddent super intense acne rash? What did you do that helped? Is it gonna go away by itself? What to say to the doctor if he tells me he cant do anything and he recommends i stop T? (I cant hide im trans, my name isnt changed legally yet, its taking time)
