We all are subject to the genetic lottery, yet there is beauty in the dissonance between our inner and outer selves. I’m young, but built wide, with hair all over except notably the top of my head. This does not comport with the feminine characteristics of my inner self.

Everyone is allowed their methods of handling this dissonance, so my advice may not be applicable to you, nor should it be seen as universally applicable.

Mine is simply treating my body like a treasured but decidedly not sporty car; keep it nice, appreciate what you can about it, make sure it can get you from a to b, but don’t try to add spoilers to try to make it look like something’s it’s not.

Invest your sense of self in other ways, perhaps invest in some hope that digitization of yourself or genetic engineering might allow for changing your vessel’s outward appearance.

At the end of the day surround yourself with people who know your inner self and for whom your outer vessel is less than important.

Weigh out the impression you wish to put out against how it will be perceived by the general public and whether that perception will be a hamper to your goals.

All of these things taken in and considered close your eyes be content with who your mind knows yourself to be.
