i didn't like being female. i still don't think i am one. but the longer i am on testosterone, the more gross i feel i am to others. i think everyone perceives me as an increasingly grosser woman, the more hair i have etc. even though i like my hair and masculinity. even though none of my friends mind it. i feel so embarrassed outside with strangers because i know women are viewed that way, and that they most likely view me as female. i don't think masculine women are gross, in fact i think body hair looks good on women.
