Description
This picture was made because I've been thinking about surgery and transition a lot of late. It's on my mind most every day despite other things in life fighting for the forfront of my mind as well.Thinking about who I was, who I am and who I will be in the future on this path I've chosen.
When I was female bodied, I had long red hair and was actually quite attractive all though I didn't think so at the time. It's sad to let go of that appearance, even though I wanted this so much I think it's only fair on her if I mourn her death. I don't regret it at all. I'd rather be an ugly man than a pretty girl and I can say that with confidence.

“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.”
Even though I'm really late to comment on this your description just really reminded me of this quote by Gerard way and I had to share it with you.

Thank you for sharing the quote. Musicians have such a profound way with words sometimes. Thank you also for reading my descriptions because some people don't really bother. <3

I really like this. The stitching's an interesting way of doing it, especially considering the top surgery... and I think it's really good that you can mourn girl!you's death, if only because all of you has deserved more love from you.
Especiallly current broad-shouldered sexy dude you. You were so so cute as this like boyishly charming dude with your tousled hair and now you're still cute, but in this broader beardy way. ALSO YOUR HAIR IS STILL SUPER HOT DON'T FRONT.

Obviously I must point out that you are far from an ugly man. People often tell me you're a very pretty man, and I'm shallow. I wouldn't be with an ugly man :3
BUT THAT ASIDE. I think girl you can be rememebred more fondly when the whole transition is over. And I think that will be nice.
I like this piece with the walking through the stitches and the swoosh of blue. Its gorgeous and simple but works well.
I would still like a background on the male you side, but you know I told you that. Its fine as it is too.

I wish I could make a background for the male side as well, I really like that idea but I am so aweful at backgrounds. Maybe some day I can work on this piece further because it does feel unfinished I think.

Gah, I love your brain! Such an interesting approach, and psh. You're totes a handsome man! Your female body was very attractive by many societal standards and now your male body is also considered attractive by many societal standards! It's all in the way you look at it.
You were slender pre-transition and now you're very broad shouldered, etc and for many people that is an easily recognisable and often appealing masculine trait. While I personally try not to hold too much stock in societal standards of beauty because they are always in flux and often very shaming, I do think they can be helpful and sometimes really necessary when it comes to finding aspects in yourself that you can feel confident and happy about in an exact moment.
Love your creativity, Freckles. Always!

I LOVE the layout of this one! The transition is beautiful and I love how you've used stitching to show the change. (How I word!?)
PS- you are a handsome man damnit! <3

Again, something I can sympathize with to a degree, its fine to mourn her loss, after all, it IS a big change. I've had people left and right go on about how I was 'so attractive' when I had long hair and dressed more feminine like and how now...not quite so much :'D I'd rather look dykeish than ultra feminine, that's me and that's how I want to be, and when I felt I was a trans man, my thing was that too 'I'd rather be an ugly man than a pretty woman if it means I'm happy'. I'd rather look and feel comfortable in my own skin even if it means I'm 'ugly' than be discontent in a 'pretty' look. Its a lot to think about though, so I don't blame you for having it on the mind so much.
Not so relevant, I'm jealous that you have red hair, red hair is so awesome :'D <3

Once again, thank you for sharing your experience with me. I think more and more gender and sexuality both melt into a mixture of both for me. I like to embrace both genders and pan-sexuality even though I know I want to be male on the outside and within society. On the inside though, why can't I be a little of everything? We all are in a way, right?
Meep, thank you. Red hair looks beautiful on a girl I think but on a guy like me who is kind of chubby it's just one more thing against the socially acceptable 'beautiful;' aesthetic. Not that I want to be that, but you know! XD; But I am pleased not everyone hates red heads! What colour is your hair?
Black and dark brown are my favourite hair colours.

Aww, it ain't no thang :'D Same here actually, I have more days where I'm a mix of both or neither than either male or female strait up and I'm pretty much gender blind haha. I think we all are in a way, yeah, we all have mixed qualities from either sex. I seem to befriend and be attracted to people who are more a mix than either or :3
Aww, don't say that, I adore red hair on men AND ladies annnnnd chubbiness is not something I have an issue with :'D I kind of am myself so I can't say much, but for me people who actually have weight to them are attractive too (I swear to god I'm not hitting on you 8'D). I get what you mean though. I naturally have VERY dark brown hair that looks almost black, right now I have a blonde mohawk till I decide what color to dye it xD

Blonde Mohawk? I bet that looks awesome! I'd love to see a photo! I love weird and wonderful hairstyles, they always attract me to a persona and make me want to talk to them!
Thank you for all your kind comments once again! I'll leave the house with confidence today I'm sure!

I might try to take one soon, right now I'm giving my hair time to chill (jut bleached it the other day :'D) before I mess with it more. You'll be able to tell I did it myself since the side along the mohawk are orangeish xD I know what you mean, it makes me want to talk to someone to a degree too haha.
No problem, if it makes you feel better about how you look, I'm glad :'D <3
