I think part of my hopelessness is that I am realizing hrt has not done anything to my face, I figured this out since I am still pretty recognizable. the only thing hrt has done for me is give me boobs, which usually results in hey dead name, you should loose some weight when i am recognized in public. I just feel hopeless and I want this nightmare to end.

facial feminization surgery can be very effective but it costs money (like many quality of life things)

It fucking blows but, honestly, I just never take off my KN95 mask in public... It seems to mostly keeps me from being misgendered (on top of also just being a good idea, of course). I'm never gonna afford FFS, and because of electrolysis I'm not even allowed to shave for like half of every week, so masks being socially acceptable has been a lifesaver for me in more ways than one. Would that help for you too?
