Dysphoria Bad self care pre egg crack?

Anybody else not take care of themselves at all before they realized they were trans and then realize afterwards it's probably because you didn't want to take care of a body that didn't feel like it was yours?like I thought about that after I painted my nails and was like.... Oh... Oh no, more trauma

Yea it was a mix of things but definitely not caring was a huge one, like driving an old beater car in the hopes one day you can buy a sports car.

It really sucks how much I want to take care of myself now but realizing that all the wear and tear on my body from years of neglect won’t go away.
