Gender affirming treatment works best if you start before puberty.

Usually this means delaying puberty with puberty blockers.

How do I look? If you saw me in public, tell me the truth, you would think I am a born female?

Maybe I need some lipstick and some foundation?

You need to live in an era where timely treatment is available.

But sure, if you don't pass, lipstick and some foundation may help imply that you're trying to present as female. That may make some of your interactions less unpleasant.

In case you haven't realized this guy is a troll. He's just mocking trannies.

But how the hell would lipstick and foundation fix anything? Other people thinking I'm presenting female isn't going to make me one.

Well, I didn't bring up the concept. Troubleshooter wondered if he needed some, and I say why not?

No. At most they'll treat you a bit more like one.

Do you think maybe being reincarnated causes gender dysphoria? What's really weird is that Iife and routine as a woman feels way too familiar to me, even things that couldn't possibly stem from biology. I only get dysphoria over biological things obviously, but I feel like I've done other things a million times before that I've never done.
