Dysphoria (-)
It's been a good run--somewhere around five months--for making my will save against dysphoria from the amount of body hair that I grow these days. It bothers me on grounds of both gender (straying too far from an androgynous appearance) and species (I'm not a fluffdragon, and even if I was, this body isn't able to grow a decent pelt).
Guess I should get used to shaving even more of my surface area, again.
re: Dysphoria (-)
@Verdigris See, I run with a lotta androgynous AFAB folks, and like, they have body hair too?
Maybe I've got a cheatcode or something, I have some body hair but it's feminine pattern body hair, like some of my Transmasc friends got after six months to a year on T.
And that was before HRT. Now it's to the point I'd kinda... Expect if someone was a RL herm or androgyne?
So I'll get bothered by my body hair, but like... Having been with Very Male folks and Very Female folks, I'm closer to the latter than the Former. And that helps any major dysphoria.
Also, don't ignore the role skin texture has in reinforcing gender ideas, most of my trans-fem friends didn't notice how soft they've gotten from the HRT until I straight up Told them they feel like a girl now.
