Hi all, I wasn't going to share this moment I had this morning but decided to anyway. Its been said on this forum about catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. I was looking and checking my hair and was caught off guard, I saw her looking back, now I know for sure.

When you walk by a mirror and your first thought is, "who is that? Oh wait, that's me." is also fun.

That's so awesome.  I get it too occasionally.  It's the best drug ever.  I only wish it was more often!

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

Here's another silly one that happened once:

I don't remember where I was but I saw a girl walking towards me and I start thinking, "I love her outfit." and then you realize, "oh wait that's me. I'm walking towards large mirror. Of course I love her outfit."

Oh dear, I really need to get new glasses.

Hi after having more time to think about seeing her I should say I saw myself as a women. After living 60 plus years as a male sometimes its hard to realize the feelings I have are actually true feelings and not something imagined. I notice a lot of little things I now do feminine wise like checking my hair although I definitely don't look like a women , I just normally see a old man but today was different. another moment of calm and happiness. I guess another step to accepting myself for who I am inside and it feels good. thanks for listening and have a good day ladies.

I've started seeing a woman looking back at me in the mirror more & more lately, even without any makeup on. I'm not sure I'm going to experience a true male-fail anytime soon, but I'm actually becoming happier with what I see. Which is wonderful, since I used to hate seeing myself in the mirror.
