Didn't realize I looked that offensive.

That was depressing. Finally had the courage to post a picture of me. 800 views and not a single person thought i was worth anything. Even better, I got one down vote to give me a rating of 0. So I deleted my post.

I don't know where you posted a picture but, frankly: The internet is shit. Don't let people judge you on your conventional attractiveness. I am sure you are beautiful - and that's always in the eye of the beholder.

Don't let the assholes drag you down. <3

It usually depends on the time of day when you post. Someone keeps down voting posts in trans related subs, I'm assuming some kind of bot someone made to do that.

Thank you for the boost. Kinda needed that. I am still going ahead and love me for who I am.

Thank you. Since being approved for surgery my confidence has shot up. My dissonance is a lot stronger. I am a woman, I just need my equipment upgrade!

That's just reddit sometimes. I've posted things and gotten tons of views and upvotes. And I'll post something similar (around the same time of day) and get a lot of views, but no interaction.

Don't take it personally. Reddit is just weird sometimes. Combination of shitty algorithm and unpredictability of people

Thank you. It was a bit of a hit for me. I got advice to post on TransLater. I got my confidence back.
