Fascinating thing this transition business isn't it.? Really makes you think about lots of things you never thought of before.
No! Not at least my mirror. It reflects what I know to be true
And that is the difference between perception and the absolute true of knowing exactly who you really are.
When you dig deep into your inner most core of existence and determine who you are; that is what is then radiated from your inner self, to those in your current circle of influence. There are certain aspects of how you know yourself, that will resonate your inner core, as being the absolute immovable truth. Finding all of these aspects is the journey of transition.
It may be likened to the following mantra
Watch your thoughts; they become your words
Watch your words; they become your actions,
Watch your actions; they become your habits,
Watch your habits; they become your character,
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Oh! And yes. I do have flaws. They are all uniquely mine and I love them. But they don't tell me who I am.

This is very hard to answer, but a lot of it has to deal with individual confidence. Once you feel more comfortable with yourself, you will start to feel more happy with your appearance. I would just continue building on to your happiness by expressing yourself in the manner you desire. That includes dressing in clothes you think are cute and styling your hair the way you want. Think more about what you like and how you want to look like. Then go with the flow.
Haha, yes, very well said. It's so very true, reading this makes me happy. Yet I feel I need to combine these two.
In a way, I already knew one answer to this topic.
The way to see the truth is to be the truth. It's emotions that radiate from us that overpower our appearance in life.
Funny how it shapes ourselves even though it's invisible. It's like the wind, you can't see it, but you can see the result of it. (leaves moving - expression)
A truly happy or loving person is a beautiful person. Even sadness will do that.
That being said, when we are in a different place, most of us block our emotions or take up others emotions. Changing the way we are read.

Not rude, don't worry. As far as my own look? -shrugs- I never think about it. Hell I'm fashionably challenged and just throw clothes on. If I see myself in the mirror, I occasionally make funny faces at myself. Though I'm easily amused in that way... Anyways, point is I don't really think about my looks. If I was forced to say something? I dunno, I don't think I look too bad.
Like I said I don't really think about it. I don't really care in the long run. I look like what I look like, and if someone takes issue they can kiss it in my opinion. That includes myself lol
Funny faces, awesome. I do the same thing
. When we can laugh with ourselves, we care less how we look. Which in addition will make you more confident, thus your appearance will change.
Some things though, aren't changed by emotions. Like, I have MPB (Male pattern baldness) at my temples. I wished i could do an other style of hair, but i need to cover it up.
My hair means everything to me, F them breasts, just give me hair and lots of it !!!
.
The beard, I'll keep waiting on my next appointment with the laser, saying to myself in the mirror, pew pew pew.
Gone be thee.
And yes when you are transitioning, these things are the hardest.
Patience is a virtue, I'm not good at. Yet I'll get there.
All and all, we are who we are. It's nice to see you all get this out. I love you all, the different people, opinions. A great way to learn. Thank you all very much.
Love
Evy
