Is there any downside to having a non-wheelwelled handicap bus?

Currently bidding on a 7 window c2 & recently learned that handicapped busses do not have wheelwells-

Obv the benefits are major but are there any downsizes? Do they get away with this by using a smaller radius wheel/ smaller sidewall tire?

(Photo of a random 7 window c2 I saw not the one I’m potentially buying)

Thankyou! Excited to move up after 10 years of Vanlife (:

Really excited about getting this one finished up! They picked kinda simple tile but allll the built in storage will be the highlight

Being under trees makes me feel so safe even when I’m city vibing 🥰

Sunroof vibes have made the last 10 years in this van absolutely magical 💕

(It’s a CRL sunport 22x38 sunroof, I believe discontinued now)

I don’t think that dysphoria intensifying after you come out/ start hrt is repression breaking down. I think hrt creates it for many of us.

I had some bottom dysphoria pre coming out but it was bearable. My face I never even considered- it was just a face.

Almost 3 yrz into feminizing hrt and I can’t stand my face & hate photos of myself. For a while I thought dysphoria has morphed into dysmorphia with femme beauty standards and the like but idk if thats even true anymore.

They say surgery is the next step when you get to this point but shaving down my bones makes me feel absolutely insane. It feels like you’re just chasing a carrot on a stick.

I think hrt gave me dysphoria. I think it’s more common that any of us want to admit. I think it’s the reason why every single trans girl I know is on some concoction of antidepressants/ antipsychotics.

I’m finding it harder to look at myself- esp in photos others have taken

2 years out/ almost 3 yrz of hrt, mtf

I don’t rly pass… I have fun with it all but the body dysphoria/ dysmorphia seems to only be getting worst. I don’t remember having it as a boy. They say you’re suppressing it before you transition & that’s why it intensifies after coming out/ starting hrt… but is that rly true?

Some days I still miss just being a boy. Though presenting femme has given me soo much freedom & joy & new experiences at the same time.

I feel stuck being on estrogen because I would miss alll the bodily changes if I were to stop. The mind is still just struggling so much with it all 😔

How was it for you leading up to deciding to quit transition?

Going to Ulta tmmrw, what direction should I go with a new foundation- cooler/ lighter?

I currently use a Lancôme in a 230w but feel like it makes me so yellow. I’ve tried L’Oréal true match in a c2.5 but it was the same vibe. The 230w looked like it matched in the store better.

Last two photos are w no foundation in different lighting

I also feel like my contouring (nose only) shade isn’t quite right? it’s a fenty truffle 04.

Mainly Cliniques moisture surge 100h/ revision d-e-j for skincare. Rem skinny dipped blush. Kylie 100 posie k lip stain. I’ve been using Anuas pdrn mist as a top coat.

Any other advice?

Will ford ever make an extended version that’s on a longer wheelbase?

I have a 148 (medium lenght) and would love to upgrade to the 173 wb but hate how they just throw the extra 2’ out back of the rear axle. I tow and national forest camp lots and worry that even with a lift kit & 17” wheels I’ll still be scraping the back all the time

The closer I get to my surgery date the more of a mess I’m becoming mentally🫠

It’s 10 days out- Questioning everything from „is it worth it?” to „am I someone who gets plastic surgery?” To „should i just accept my current appearance as my peak & stop trying to change things?”

My surgeon is great but I’m having nightmares of botched surgery and fearing revision and fearing the identity crisis that might come after. I dont hate my front view but don’t like how wide it feels in the middle (where the bump is)

We decided on a slight swoop with a tip break & are increasing the columella angle for a more overall feminine shape and vibe. I’m low key worried that it won’t fit my face & that my tip is too large to look good supported with a swooped ridge. A straight nose looks boring and weird to me and not something I want at all.

I’ve done a dozen edits at this point and keep taking photos of myself and hate how unsure I still am

I’m not postponing/ delaying bcuz I can’t go thru this again, if I cancel I cancel & I learn to live with my nose somehow 😌

Plz help.

Do you feel like your rhinoplasty changed your entire face?

Or does it feel pretty “contained” to just the nose?

My surgery is in two weeks and I’m just trying to mentally prepare for the after

Me and my best friend scheduled our wisdom tooth removals on the same day and it was nice having someone to check in with after that is going thru the same pain

I know the jaw is a masculine vibee but I’m not changing that. I get gendered femme 99% of the time in public so it’s not abt passing anymore. And I know most of you don’t think noses r masculine/ feminine and I agree to a point but I think it’s no different that the facial piercings arguments on here.

Anyway I have a rhinoplasty scheduled for early June and I keep going back and forth on if im going to go thru with it and it’s annoying af. I’m scared of regretting it/ a nose without the bump not fitting my face/ making my jaw stand out more/ etc.

Str8 on its fine but the side profile kills me. Last photo is a bad edit I did. The tip will be rotated more so it won’t appear quite as long.

Any words of advice? Has the body dysmorphia rly messed w my head at this point? I never cared abt my nose til I started transition but that’s true for many things bcuz of disassociation so I can’t rly go off that
