It's hard to admit this. But I looked beautiful in the eyes of society as a feminine presenting person. Long hair, jewelry etc. I have a very specific look and it worked very well with my hair and outfits. I hated it every day it was so dysphoric I was so depressed. I started my transition, chopped my hair off etc and I love how I feel but bro am I depressed at how lonely I've gotten.
As a "woman", casual dating was no problem. Socializing was no big deal. I got hundreds of matches on dating profiles, all my customers loved me called me beautiful, tons of social media likes etc. Now I've cut my hair off and present masculine (which I love and don't feel dysphoric doing so) I get 2 likes a post, haven't had a single match on dating apps that I've had for months as a masculine presenting male without clocking myself and have been told I look worse with short hair and all that.
I was miserable as a "girl". Not who I was. Ever. Since I was a kid lol. I don't regret anything at all. I am male and transitioning has been a game changer. But I'm lonely, dude. I feel ugly. I'm not treated the same. It fucking hurts. I look at old photos of me and even with the dysphoria I felt, I just miss how I was treated and how easy finding a casual date was. I haven't talked to anyone since transitioning.
Idk. I sometimes feel like I should just give up. I lost my family bc of my transition. Life long friends. Respect from transphobic coworkers. I constantly get harassed by customers. It was easier on the surface level to be "cis female". It was driving me insane but at least I had a mom and dad lmao. But the misery I felt wasn't worth it either. Lose lose situation. I just wanna give up. On everything. Being trans is so fucking hard and I wish I just...wasn't so lonely through it all. I don't have anyone to support me. No one.
I was miserable before but I had a family, friends, respect and support. I love myself more as I transition and im more comfortable in my skin, but I have absolutely no one. I just want to curl up in a ball and let whoever played this sick joke called life on me laugh and win.
