If you're a trans person, and you are worried that your body type isn't right or that you don't look like the cis people of your gender, remember:
We have all been lied to about what humans look like. We've all had the diversity of our species contorted and hidden away from us. We are all, cis and trans alike, forced to reconcile our own appearances with these lies. There are cis people who look just like you, who have the same insecurities about their appearances that you do, I promise.

@pexl Trans women look like women because they are women and they look like themselves. Trans men look like men because they are men and they look like themselves. Enbies look like enbies because they are enbies and they look like themselves.

It's kind of tautological but it's important to realize.
