I am one of the BIGGEST ALLIES!!! I love transitioning stories because I love seeing the strength a person can have. I admire you so much for you strength. You are gorgeous!
The way I deal with gender dysphoria is by watching encouraging videos like these! You've helped me so much with my self-confidence and being comfortable with the way I am. Thanks and you're beautiful!!!
Maya, you are fantastic (and gorgeous)! Wish I had your courage and strength (and were as open and articulate). You are helping so many people. TY & GL!
Hey Maya, I have really gotten into watching your videos and I know I’m commenting on quite an old video but I figured I would comment on this one because what your talking about in this one share a lot of parallels with what I’m going through. I’m significantly older than you but your journey is very inspiring. I’m 44 and I’m about 6 months into my transition. My gender dysphoria has been very difficult for me. One of the biggest struggles I have is knowing no matter what I do I will never be a biological woman. And that really kills me inside. What you were talking about in this video about that even if a woman has masculine features that she dislikes at the end of the day she’s still a woman. I’ve told family and friends and my job about being transgender and how it’s hard for me to know that I can never have periods or become pregnant. Colors, sounds, clothing, words, cis women. Just so many things trigger me and I feel like I’m just waiting sometimes for the next dysphoric episode. Sorry for the long message I just want you to know that at least in some small way your videos are helping me. So thanks sis & keep doing what your doing. 😊
Gender dysphoria, for me has been a struggle ever since I came into puberty when I was 12. I remember I would refuse to swim in gym class and my gym teacher made me swim in clothes, I remember how good it felt, when I didn't have to, but how lonely I felt through my whole time of elementary school. and that I never fit in, and I tried to be like others but I didn't feel like I was myself. It was like I was.. waiting to realize something, find something to be passionate about, and finding myself. When I met the first trans person in my life, it was like a new door opened and I suddenly had dreams and hopes to finally be happy. And it's weird because I have been through so much pain, and I've been so so so lonely, sitting in the bathroom crying almost ever day at school, so it's like all these memories are so blurry and so un-real because it happened so much, and my feelings were overwhelming that I couldn't process them. It's like I can't even remember those times, and life changed so fast. Before I know it i'm 9 months on T after 5 years of body dysphoria and depression.. It's crazy, time goes so fast. The only thing that kept me going was these hopes, and so everyone out there who's struggeling with this, you just have to keep going. choose to live, because it will be worth it and let the pain be. try to be okay with your feelings and don't punish yourself for having them. and the thing I wish I had done while waiting, was to prepare myself better. I wish I had the motivation to go to the gym, improve my cooking, putting effort in school stuff or spend more time doing what I loved. but of course you can't do those things if you are depressed and can barely get out of bed at mornings. but I truly wish I could go back in time, and comfort myself with saying that I didn't have to worry, and that i'd soon figure everything out. xx
I can honestly feel love for you, like a Father to his beloved Daughter. You are an Angel, and adorable. You are so sweet, a lovely young lady. thank you for coming into all of outlives, and thank you for helping those who need you.
I'm not a transgender, but still. you are so inspiring. sometimes I just feel so bad about the world we live in... I'm sorry for everything society has put you through... but looking back to this I feel so happy, you are more and more beautiful everyday :) I'm sure you are giving hope to a lot of people, and for that alone I believe it is all worth it. I subscribed recently but I already love you :p you seem to be an amazing person :) and now you have one more "friend" accompanying you through this journey ;) xoxo
Thanking for making this video sweetheart! If only I could show you how pretty you are going to become! How charmingly feminine! It's all going to work out for you Maya! I feel your pain so acutely. Just the sound of your sweet voice blows me away! Please don't ever take down these videos. They're so inspiring! I hope every confused, frightened, insecure transgender woman seeking the courage to be who she really is has the opportunity to these videos and draw inner strength from them!
I know this was made a long time ago but I just came across your channel and I wanted to say that this video shows your inner beauty is just as amazing as your outer beauty. You're beautiful inside and out and I hope you feel that way everyday, even on the bad days.
My favorite Maya video wow so honest and open, truly the beautiful spirit of a girl in them gorgeous eyes, I experience disphoria everyday and not sure how to cope I just do and very sad all the time but Maya's vids are inspirational
dear maya, i came across your videos and watched every single one. you are doing wonderful work. i am a hetrosexual woman. i have learned so much from you. you have changed my thinking. thank you for sharing your experiences with the world x
What a wonderful video love your vulnerability in this video. Even though I'm not trans I do have feelings that r more common with woman. I started following u about 3 weeks ago. I told myself to start at the beginning and tonight I did. This is from a 61 year old man and so happy to see the progress that up until this point so proud of what u r.
I'm 18 months now on HRT my estrogen has been increased 3 time. I just passed my one year post SRS/GRS and my doctor stated me on Progesterone 4 days ago to help with my Libido since surgery. I still suffer from depression at times partly due to financial/work and maybe some hormonal. Always take your pills on time or at least as close to the same time each day as you can,,,missing occasionally...may not be a big deal...but consecutive doses will mess you up. So please be consistent.... Walks, staying active and talking with friends all help. I wish you well in your transition and am happy to help in any way I can. Much love sister :-D
I've had gender dysphoria since childhood. Finally decided to begin the first step towards transitioning. Have an appointment coming up with a gender therapist.
There is so much to talk about! but when I am going to type I don't know where do I have to start from! After 35 years, I am in step one and no one knows about my problems. I thought his feelings goes away, but it seems always with me and never gonna stop, even mirrors can't show me who I am! I know you are not interested in what I say, but I am happy for you, you are so much strong to do that!
I'm a girl but I have thick body hair. My legs and arms, thick hair. And growing up it always bothered me because my classmates would always point it out and laugh about me. So the whole time I was outside of my bedroom I would wear a jacket. My parents would ask me why I always wore a jacket. I later learned there was another girl in my class who had the same problem. So we would sit there and talk about it. She told me she wasn't ashamed of it and I felt a little better but I'm 22 now and it still kinda bothers me.
you're incredibly gorgeous and i feel for you from the bottom of my heart that you have to battle through dysphoria. if we didn't live in such a cissexist society with strict gender roles and heavy misogyny that tells women they're only as good as their looks, no trans woman would have to feel this way about their bodies. fellow cis people fail to see that making of girls for facial hair is incredibly transmisogynistic, even if the girl is cis. historically, people who failrd to meet the expectations of the gender binary in the west have been treated as outcasts, all because we insist on believing on "biological sex", as if our sex can only be male or female and caracterize us strictly one way or the other. i know as a trans woman you will go through many hardships in your life, but as far as guilt goes i wish that you would always feel at ease, because you are not broken or wrong, your body is not broken or wrong. I hope you get hormonal treatment, I hope you get the respect and rights you deserve, I hope you get reminded of how beautiful you are more often. You are female, your body is female; both your gender and sex are female. I wish you all the luck in the world to fight this battle, you are not alone and true cis allies will use their voices to amplify yours and much much more importantly, other trans women will always fight along you.
Im a guy and im very attracted to you and im sure there are a lotta guys who are open to dating or even marrying a person like you. Just saying. Hair or no hair, feminine or masculine im attracted to both. Sometimes people may never find happiness within oneself, and that void can be filled by another person who accepts and loves everything about you, and completes you. You know what i mean?
I know that this video is of a long time ago, but you said to share, so here goes... Well, you described mostly what I feel, and the thoughts may kill transgender people, making us feel worse than we already are. I hated myself for so much time, since I can remember, and I always wanted to be like other girls, wear their clothers, be as feminine as I could, and then I realized that I didn't hate myself, I just hated my body, my clothes and things alike. Then I started to researching about this, and there was all about it, what it was and the solution, that is taking hormons. This helps me to get through, thinking that in two or three years I will be confortable with myself, the girl I always was.
This video brings me back to some of my earliest memories when I was playing with my mom's make up and dresses. With all my cousins, I am very much closed with my girl cousins and play around with nail polish, hair clips, etc. But all is in the closet now. How time flies. I miss myself. My coping mechanism? Watching your videos. You help a lot of people more than you know. keep it up. much love.
I'm on the journey too now! After all those long years of struggling with the gender dysphoria I'm so happy that Im being myself And happy to find ur video! It helps me a lot And you are so pretty sis! U are so pretty 🤍
Amazing video blog. I love it. Educational and inspiring. I agree with you. Everyone has something hard to deal with. It's a fact of life. Some have it easier, in between, and harder. It's common to question why me? How will I make it etc? I've learned that with love, support, distractions, and little tweeks (even in secret) make a person feel better. Like you said. Things are not always as they appear. Life is too short not to be happy, healthy, authentic and honest. Fighting back and taking steps toward whatever we may be facing is worth it. Where there's a will there's a way! Glad to see all your success maya.
This video so completely describes me to a T. All of my life I have always hated mirrors. When I would go to even just wash my hands, I would put my head off to the side, so I wouldn't have to see my face. My face has never matched who I was on the inside. I too have learned to be thankful for what I do have. Even though my face doesn't really pass as is, I am lucky to be pretty much built like a woman in the first place. I am very small boned and have mostly feminine body features. I am working on finding ways to like my face. I am going to try make up. I have been told that if I did make up right, that I would be passable. We shall see. :0) I absolutely love your videos so so much. You are an inspiration.
I love this video.. The other day, I was really contemplating whether I really wanted to be a girl and I put on a wig, some makeup, and some feminine clothing. When I looked in the mirror, I started to cry, I felt beautiful. I'm still unsure of who I really want to be, but it was really freeing.
I came out as a transgirl last year, and I go through dysphoria a lot. While there are things I don't like about my facial appearance, my biggest issues come from below the belt. I tend to get very jealous of ciswomen who can menstruate and have their own children. It's probably because in my personal life I get told a lot about how lucky I am that I can't get a period. I'm sure they suck, but I'd rather have them and dislike them than not get them at all and feel like I should. Even if I do end up getting 'the surgery,' and I really want to, that still wouldn't do much to fix that need.
I came across your most recent video and clicked on it thinking about the content not even second guessing that you're a girl. so after realizing you are transitioning I went back and watched you're journey from the beginning and I have to say even before hormone blockers you are clearly female even if your body wanted to continue on a path to become a man I just want to say I think you are courageous for sharing this and that what you're doing by having this channel is helping a lot of other ppl like yourself and potentially saving young transitioning ppl from depression or even suicide. You are beautiful and even in this video before the blockers I see you for what you truly are. ignore the hate. ignore those confused or acting repulsed. because they are the unfortunate ones who can't see that our souls not our bodies is who we truly are. if you were my friend or my brother who decided to become my sister, I would be proud. you should get a p.o. box if you don't have one so ppl can send you gifts of encouragement. 😊
hey I'm just starting out to be transgender myself and I impire you your adorable hunnie thanks for all your kind stories I've been feeling like this for about 4 weeks now I've spent around $400 on women's clothes and I even walk out of my house now with them on and when I get them on I feel so comfortable loving and so warm with me wearing the make up or been in women's clothes I became trans at the age of 24 and I'm now 24 I've got a doctors appointment about hormone treatment on the 4th of January xxx
Wow. You truly are (and were!) a beautiful person. So honest and relatable, even though I am very different from you. I would feel honored if I were your friend. I hope that you can look back now to these early videos and say "girl, you made it, now you,ve got it all"
I know right, I'm so happy for her!!!! She's so beautiful, inside and out. And so smart too. I bet there are lots of woman who wish she was lesbian. Maya, you are the total package sweetheart. You should be so proud of the courage you have. The strength you possess to be so empathetic through all the hate, shows a true statement to your character. Regardless of all circumstances, you truly are an amazing human being! Nothing but love from this household.
If I didn't hear your voice I would've thought you are a girl, 100%. You have an incredibly feminine AND ATTRACTIVE face. You would make such a wonderful actress I think, you have the right sort of 'look'. Wish you all the happiness in the future x
Its what you feel inside and why should you let others decide how you feel. You are a very beautiful person and to me you have started your transition and look your true self.
I can see now why you're a counselor in summer camps (If I understood it well, there's nothing like that in my country). You have an amazin energy, you are really optimistic and it's a pleassure to listen to you. Congratulations Maya!
I totally get it... i’m not “trans” per se, but i have horrible gender dysphoria. Not looking and being how i feel is the worst feeling in the world. Every part of me is a girl in my mind, but i’ll carry out the rest of my life in the wrong body with the wrong parts... it’s just something i’ve had to come to terms with.
this is a pretty old video and I don't even thinks anyone cares, but at this point I'm really frustrated. If you still decide to read this, I'll give you a quick breakdown of my situation. I'm an almost 19 year old male, I'm going to move out of my parents's house in around two months. Now As I post this particualar comment under this particular video, you can probably already guess, but I identify as a girl. I am ready to take the necessary steps to adjust my body to what I essentially am, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how, when or if I should come out to my parents. Of course, I love my parents and I'll assume they love me too, but they do so as a son. My parents are very anti - trans and they would, from the behaviour I've seen, not approve if I told them I wanted to turn into a girl. I don't know what to do at this point, I'm doubting that coming out to my parents would be a good idea or give me any good results. I have concidered just waiting until I move out and start my transition when I'm alone, so can I maybe get some general thoughts about that? I thank everyone that takes his/her time to read through this.
I'm going through transition much later that you but it's so true about how doing the little things can make such a difference to how you feel. Transition is no easier at 45 i can tell you.
+thenightraven60 I was going to transition, but it honestly does not seem worth it. With the hate from society along with the fact I would be obsessing over my body further.
+Mirander Black Yes it's difficult i won't deny that but it is worth the effort. I have never felt better and i can ignore the ignorant types. I would recommend it to anyone in the same situation because it's the only way you will ever feel any better about your self.
I feel like i can relate to you, i'm not transgender or anything i just hate how i look, the choices i make and my personality. The only way i can cope with it is to lock myself in my room and game and just stay away from people.
Sweetheart, I am glad you made it through your transition but from watching your videos you never looked manly. You have always been extremely cute! However, you have a great attitude. You remind me of the parable "I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw a man with no feet. " I am glad to see that even in dark times you count your blessings.
ohmygosh. Are you kidding me? YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! like literally as in the most superficial kind of beauty lol You're gorgeous. You look like a girl even here.
I have to shave every day, I hate it more than anything, I also have body hair and I just wish it would go away, just disappear. Even having tried many razors I still have a little stubble or shadow. On top of that my eyebrows are incredibly thick. What I do like though despite having thicker arm hair and thick eyebrows I still get called ma'am or dear or a number of other things. I am still unsure of whether I am trans or not, not in the way that I think I could be, I'm pretty positive I am, I am just so filled with anxiety to even admit it or say it to myself, I came out as gay once, I thought I would be good at overcoming and figuring myself out, but I don't think it's that simple
+Justine Devitt Body hair is natural, both men and women have it. I was so close to going through all of this but I didn't in the end. I just knew I would be obsessing over a body image that in itself was sexist. In reality men and women can do the same things, and don't fit certain sexist boxes society claims they should fit into.
you've come a long way, my lovely Maya. I'm not trans, but just a straight guy.... you know what screw labels. what are we? items on rack or on a shelf. do you or I have UPC codes tattooed on us? F**k, no. you are honestly a beautiful woman, then and now. I'm just a man. but we both have survived so much BS. we both have self doubt still today, but my magnificently gorgeously divine Maya. it just makes us stronger than ever. good night/good morning wherever you are.
I Don't really know you Just came across your channel this evening. I can say that you are very Beautiful you have done well with your Transition Maybe you realise this but don't talk down to your self not Subconsciously.
You have a lot going for you and this is with out any aid from HRT. you have very feminine appearance. for your facial hair use "Nair" it works wonders. Stop worrying about details about yourself. In time when you start electrolysis and HRT this will be corrected. I hope to god that you don't fall into the life time dysphoria that i have to deal with everyday. i have lived 42 years as a female and society is not going to let me forget my passed life.
Really isn't this just down to society? If men and women where not forced into gender rolls or expected to act "masculine" or "feminine" why would it matter what body we where born with.
You are amazing!!!! You are so beautiful if I were a guy I would date you. I would marry you. Your so so beautiful. I'm in a wheelchair for life and I don't know if I will ever find love. This video helps me.
I am one of the BIGGEST ALLIES!!! I love transitioning stories because I love seeing the strength a person can have. I admire you so much for you strength. You are gorgeous!
+Jennifer Valdez You said what I feel, I admire Maya very much
The way I deal with gender dysphoria is by watching encouraging videos like these! You've helped me so much with my self-confidence and being comfortable with the way I am. Thanks and you're beautiful!!!

Omg maya every time I feel depressed with my dyspeptic I watch this video. It truly helps me and you are just the best.
I'm not a transgender, but still. you are so inspiring. sometimes I just feel so bad about the world we live in...

I too have learned to be thankful for what I do have. Even though my face doesn't really pass as is, I am lucky to be pretty much built like a woman in the first place. I am very small boned and have mostly feminine body features.
I am working on finding ways to like my face. I am going to try make up. I have been told that if I did make up right, that I would be passable. We shall see. :0)
I absolutely love your videos so so much. You are an inspiration.
I love this video.. The other day, I was really contemplating whether I really wanted to be a girl and I put on a wig, some makeup, and some feminine clothing. When I looked in the mirror, I started to cry, I felt beautiful. I'm still unsure of who I really want to be, but it was really freeing.
I came out as a transgirl last year, and I go through dysphoria a lot. While there are things I don't like about my facial appearance, my biggest issues come from below the belt. I tend to get very jealous of ciswomen who can menstruate and have their own children. It's probably because in my personal life I get told a lot about how lucky I am that I can't get a period. I'm sure they suck, but I'd rather have them and dislike them than not get them at all and feel like I should. Even if I do end up getting 'the surgery,' and I really want to, that still wouldn't do much to fix that need.
Hey Maya, You are such a brave girl. By watching your transition videos, I don't feel lonely anymore ❤.
I came across your most recent video and clicked on it thinking about the content not even second guessing that you're a girl. so after realizing you are transitioning I went back and watched you're journey from the beginning and I have to say even before hormone blockers you are clearly female even if your body wanted to continue on a path to become a man I just want to say I think you are courageous for sharing this and that what you're doing by having this channel is helping a lot of other ppl like yourself and potentially saving young transitioning ppl from depression or even suicide. You are beautiful and even in this video before the blockers I see you for what you truly are. ignore the hate. ignore those confused or acting repulsed. because they are the unfortunate ones who can't see that our souls not our bodies is who we truly are. if you were my friend or my brother who decided to become my sister, I would be proud. you should get a p.o. box if you don't have one so ppl can send you gifts of encouragement. 😊
hey I'm just starting out to be transgender myself and I impire you your adorable hunnie thanks for all your kind stories I've been feeling like this for about 4 weeks now I've spent around $400 on women's clothes and I even walk out of my house now with them on and when I get them on I feel so comfortable loving and so warm with me wearing the make up or been in women's clothes I became trans at the age of 24 and I'm now 24 I've got a doctors appointment about hormone treatment on the 4th of January xxx
Wow. You truly are (and were!) a beautiful person. So honest and relatable, even though I am very different from you. I would feel honored if I were your friend. I hope that you can look back now to these early videos and say "girl, you made it, now you,ve got it all"
I know right, I'm so happy for her!!!! She's so beautiful, inside and out. And so smart too. I bet there are lots of woman who wish she was lesbian. Maya, you are the total package sweetheart. You should be so proud of the courage you have. The strength you possess to be so empathetic through all the hate, shows a true statement to your character. Regardless of all circumstances, you truly are an amazing human being! Nothing but love from this household.
If I didn't hear your voice I would've thought you are a girl, 100%. You have an incredibly feminine AND ATTRACTIVE face. You would make such a wonderful actress I think, you have the right sort of 'look'. Wish you all the happiness in the future x
Its what you feel inside and why should you let others decide how you feel. You are a very beautiful person and to me you have started your transition and look your true self.
❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you!!!!💘 💘 💘
You don't look masculine. I would have never known unless I wouldn't have watched your videos.
I can see now why you're a counselor in summer camps (If I understood it well, there's nothing like that in my country). You have an amazin energy, you are really optimistic and it's a pleassure to listen to you. Congratulations Maya!
I totally get it... i’m not “trans” per se, but i have horrible gender dysphoria. Not looking and being how i feel is the worst feeling in the world. Every part of me is a girl in my mind, but i’ll carry out the rest of my life in the wrong body with the wrong parts... it’s just something i’ve had to come to terms with.
this is a pretty old video and I don't even thinks anyone cares, but at this point I'm really frustrated. If you still decide to read this, I'll give you a quick breakdown of my situation. I'm an almost 19 year old male, I'm going to move out of my parents's house in around two months. Now As I post this particualar comment under this particular video, you can probably already guess, but I identify as a girl. I am ready to take the necessary steps to adjust my body to what I essentially am, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how, when or if I should come out to my parents. Of course, I love my parents and I'll assume they love me too, but they do so as a son. My parents are very anti - trans and they would, from the behaviour I've seen, not approve if I told them I wanted to turn into a girl.
I don't know what to do at this point, I'm doubting that coming out to my parents would be a good idea or give me any good results. I have concidered just waiting until I move out and start my transition when I'm alone, so can I maybe get some general thoughts about that?
I thank everyone that takes his/her time to read through this.
Best of luck too you. Feel free to message me if you ever need someone.
An older video, I know, but I can really relate to this. I wish you happiness :) .
I'm going through transition much later that you but it's so true about how doing the little things can make such a difference to how you feel. Transition is no easier at 45 i can tell you.
+thenightraven60 I was going to transition, but it honestly does not seem worth it. With the hate from society along with the fact I would be obsessing over my body further.
+Mirander Black Yes it's difficult i won't deny that but it is worth the effort. I have never felt better and i can ignore the ignorant types. I would recommend it to anyone in the same situation because it's the only way you will ever feel any better about your self.
I know what you mean about facial hair, I'm so conscious about it, your video has helped me know I am not alone, btw you look great x
I feel like i can relate to you, i'm not transgender or anything i just hate how i look, the choices i make and my personality. The only way i can cope with it is to lock myself in my room and game and just stay away from people.
This is so great! Yes it sucks but we must always remember to count our blessings!!Much love!
I really connect with this. Thanks for making it.
Sweetheart, I am glad you made it through your transition but from watching your videos you never looked manly. You have always been extremely cute! However, you have a great attitude. You remind me of the parable "I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw a man with no feet. " I am glad to see that even in dark times you count your blessings.
ohmygosh. Are you kidding me? YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! like literally as in the most superficial kind of beauty lol You're gorgeous. You look like a girl even here.
Your very well spoken on your videos i love the topics. The very best on your transition x
Thanks Maya. I really needed to see this video right now. :'-*
I have to shave every day, I hate it more than anything, I also have body hair and I just wish it would go away, just disappear. Even having tried many razors I still have a little stubble or shadow. On top of that my eyebrows are incredibly thick. What I do like though despite having thicker arm hair and thick eyebrows I still get called ma'am or dear or a number of other things. I am still unsure of whether I am trans or not, not in the way that I think I could be, I'm pretty positive I am, I am just so filled with anxiety to even admit it or say it to myself, I came out as gay once, I thought I would be good at overcoming and figuring myself out, but I don't think it's that simple
Try electrolysis helps to remove hair
+Justine Devitt Body hair is natural, both men and women have it. I was so close to going through all of this but I didn't in the end. I just knew I would be obsessing over a body image that in itself was sexist.
In reality men and women can do the same things, and don't fit certain sexist boxes society claims they should fit into.
God made you just the way you are. You were meant to be a woman. A beautiful one.
I am a woman and born a woman but people online tell me that I'm a man or guy or boy, there rude people out there.
you've come a long way, my lovely Maya. I'm not trans, but just a straight guy.... you know what screw labels. what are we? items on rack or on a shelf. do you or I have UPC codes tattooed on us? F**k, no. you are honestly a beautiful woman, then and now. I'm just a man. but we both have survived so much BS. we both have self doubt still today, but my magnificently gorgeously divine Maya. it just makes us stronger than ever. good night/good morning wherever you are.
You are a very beautiful person inside and outside and what an inspiration you are , you should be so proud of yourself take care

and you were born a women as much as i was born a women
You look very nice and feminine in your videos. I am enjoying your channel. :)
I Don't really know you
Just came across your channel this evening. I can say that you are very Beautiful you have done well with your Transition Maybe you realise this but don't talk down to your self not Subconsciously.
I looooove your haircut 💜
You have a lot going for you and this is with out any aid from HRT. you have very feminine appearance. for your facial hair use "Nair" it works wonders. Stop worrying about details about yourself. In time when you start electrolysis and HRT this will be corrected. I hope to god that you don't fall into the life time dysphoria that i have to deal with everyday. i have lived 42 years as a female and society is not going to let me forget my passed life.
I feel like that to a lot I hate my facial hair and at 16 I'm scared about my development as male it's so scary and hard :(
Really isn't this just down to society? If men and women where not forced into gender rolls or expected to act "masculine" or "feminine" why would it matter what body we where born with.
girl your amazingly beautiful!
WOW! You're so beautiful and wonderful. Greetings from Mexico. God bless you.
