A lot of us experience dysphoria about a lot of things. Personally, one of my biggest points of dysphoria is my facial/body hair and masculine sounding voice.

We believe this should be a community where all trans people are welcome to give and receive support on their journey.

Feel free to rant about what's been bothering you and try and comment on someone else's comment with some encouragement! It can really go a long way to brightening someone's day!

Love to all my trans brothers, sisters, enbies and all other flavors of people who live as they are ❤️

You could use a binder like what FTMs use if you want to hide them in specific situations. They're not that expensive. A decent one will cost you $20-40.

I can hide my chest, that's what I'm doing now for the most part. My issue is getting over my fear/anxiety of being hate crimed so I can live as myself in public

That really sucks. I'm sorry you're in that situation. I haven't got an easy answer for you, but I hope you're able to find those little pockets in your area where you can be yourself. Hang in there.
