I've got plenty thick skin, and I've got pictures of me when I was 20 as a regular guy with a ponytail and a sad excuse for a goatee, and I've got pictures from 18 months ago before I started getting the weird pre-boob-job tranny tits. I'm not going to post them, just because this is a largely porn-driven forum and not a TG support forum with me and my gal-pals, and I don't have any reason to put something personal out there to be objectified.
But look at what the OP said: "starter femboy"
The reality is that a lot of tgirls didn't start off as the femme boys at all. Some were horribly depressed and let themselves go completely -- check out Riftgirl on YouTube:

She's totally hot, and used to be one fat bastard. That video's adorable, but you'd have to be some kind of sociopath to be turned on by it.
Some of us were depressed and had a bad home life and really got into sports. Seeing me as a regular kid would probably freak the hell out of a lot of people who like rubbing one out to tgirls. A young, super-skinny femme boy in panties might be exciting, especially the Asian ones that are naturally androgynous, but how many people really want to face the reality that a normal guy who set half his high school's track records in 1996 -- a guy who they probably would've hung out with and talked about what chicks they wanted to bang -- that guy was a total emotional disaster who had been crying himself to sleep since he was 3 praying to wake up as a girl. Reality can be a real downer, ya know?

People just call me by my name. Actually, a lotta my gay friends call me "tranny" -- which is nice as long as it's coming from your friends (kinda like black guys calling each other n_____). But every label will insult someone unless it's ambiguous like TS or TG. I think pre-op is annoying because it implies that my lifelong goal is for someone to carve a vagina into me. Many TS girls dismiss me because I don't, though. Besides, isn't a boob job an "op"?
