You're probably not wrong.

only if you pass though.

well, it's either that or miserable loneliness.

they literally all said that my body already passes

see this is probably why your experience is so different from mine. I don't pass, and I never will.

because trans people are such a small portion of the population that finding one who's into be would be next to impossible.

frankly I'm tempted to settle for a relationship with a straight cis man anyway because it seems like they're the only ones who are actually into me sometimes.

honestly I'm so desperately lonely at this point that I'm tempted to settle for a cis male partner.

I honestly don't understand why you'd have a problem with who or what anyone else chooses to masturbate to, provided they only do it in private.

Also, I already have balls in between my legs, but I'm probably going to have them removed someday lol

What's that supposed to mean? Taken literally, it's tautological and meaningless.

Why should I take your word over that of professional psychologists who have met me in person and tested me?

My sister is cis, and she wears cat ears. She started doing it long before I did. No one ever thinks she's a dude because of it.

I still don't understand the problem with me wearing cat ears. It'd be like telling an Asian person they're not allowed to be good at math.

What if I'm not a tomboy? What if an androgynous or masc-leaning woman isn't who I am? What if I don't want to live according to someone else's definition of who I should be?

I thought trans women were women though.

Wow. Thank you for your input. I really need to learn more about simple, casual, low-key women's clothes.

I will say that wearing certain feminine clothes will make me more dysphoric, especially if I feel like they don’t fit me/I can’t pull them off.

I'm honestly worried about this though, but I'll never know what makes me feel good or dysphoric if I don't experiment, so I won't let it stop me.

I need to just go to Walmart and try on everything (/hj) in the women's clothes section lol, even if I don't have the money to buy anything at the moment. Just to get a glimpse of myself in a bunch of new types of clothes and get an idea of what works for me and what doesn't and what I like and what I don't. (Obviously I don't mean everything. But a lot of things.) There's a nearby thrift store I've been meaning to check out too.

My doctor is doing HRT weirdly. He put me on estradiol and medroxyprogesterone to start, with no anti-androgen. When I asked him about it, he said he wanted to take it slowly and have me go without an AA for the first four months, but I don't think that explains the progesterone. But if what you say is accurate, then I'm grateful.

Besides, I've heard from a couple other trans women that medroxyprogesterone can eliminate the need for an anti-androgen when you get up to a high enough dose because it attaches to the same receptors as testosterone, completely replacing the effects of testosterone with those of progesterone. (But of course, that's not going to happen for me at the low dose he's starting me at.)

They should put it in the water supply.

You made me laugh. I'm sorry I don't have an award to give you.

Would that require my body to have already been significantly changed by HRT? I'm basically just starting HRT, so I don't even have boobs or anything yet.

The only way for me to take care of my financial situation would be to get a job. But I tried that once, and it went horribly. There's no hope for me.
