I'm a PoC, transgender, lesbian and above all else I haven't gain any weight at all since a long time even though I'm trying so hard. The more I see trans people being super cute and hot on the internet, the less I believe that I will actually succeed to be the person I was meant to be. Plus the burden of sticking a needle in my thigh every week for hormones is just... Meh. After about two years of HRT I started to slow down, and now it's been ages since I haven't done an injection. I'm going to the gym about 4-5 times a week to gain some muscles in my legs, I try everyday to eat more than my BMR to gain mass, but still I'm stagnant. I'm trying so hard but really I just want to be myself.
On the good side, I have a pretty androgynous face structure so just a bit of makeup is enough for me to pass, but only as long as I don't have a mental breakdown seeing my face in the mirror for an extended period of time.
All of this is just so hard, I want to believe in myself but I just can't :c
