So, what do if I want to put makeup, but that same makeup will probably give me dysphoria?
(image to cope)
So, I started to think for a bit, and even though I am way more happier being the man I am (even before transition), I think what doesn't help is the fact that I still have makeup when I was in the era of denying my own masculinity just for bad people.
Thing is, I still want to try them, but I have the fear that trying it may give me dysphoria or disappointment to myself, so, what I do? Should I try and experiment just to see what fits me? Because I may try if I can, anything will help!

RAGHHH I WAS SO CLOSE
For some context, I had endometrial cancer and while it was treated with a total hysterectomy I was worried about starting T given the nature of my cancer. Regardless I had an appointment set up with a gender clinic in December, but my oncologist just messaged me saying he could prescribe me androgel (which is what I wanted to begin with I'm to scared of needles) and to talk with a colleague friend from another state. Not even 1 hour later I got a call from the pharmacy saying that they had a prescription ready for me....
Insurance won't cover it. I was soooo close to getting T. They were able to get the total down to 49 dollars but in this economy? Yeah, bummed out right now. But I'm not giving up hope yet!

If theyre comfortable not passing, let them be?
Im so tired of seeing posts that are talking about 'when they say theyre ftm but they look like this!' and its a non-passing transmasc whos saying hes cool with being more feminine and not passing, like get your head out of your ass and let them be. Like of course dont lie and say someone is fully passing if they asked and they arent because yes it can be dangerous for them, dont be an ass if they dont want to pass. Because i know this is gonna sound crazy but you were probably not born passing, you did not pass at one point, even as soon as you found out you were trans you probably werent out their passing in two days.
Ok you wanna be a transmed and cry about fake trans people and boo hoo they arent even trying you go do that in your group, but its gross seeing transmasc or any trans person (USUALLY MINORS) getting their face spreaded around and shit on because they dont care to pass as your average joe, its none of your damn business, you wanna act like your some tough ass man then keep your shit talking to yourself like one.
On the same note you can be a proud trans man and not pass, im proud to be a trans man and i honestly dont pass that well without short hair (which i currently dont have) theres literally nothing wrong with saying your proud of who you are even if you havent fully been able to grow into who you want to be or your comfortable being more feminine, i literally saw a comment saying you cant be proud to be trans (yes by a transmed) which like even with the statement you have to be dysphoric and passing, what if a fully passing he/him trans man thats basically their idea of a real trans person, can he not be proud of his work and all he did to get to where he is?
