Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Or a non-reversing mirror. If you want to see yourself as other people actually see you, then yeah. You won't believe how different you look - for better or worse - until you've experienced it.

I actually picked mine up from Amazon. They cost a few Benjamins, but it's a precision instrument afterall. It has a seamless adjustment knob on the side and the mirror is cut precisely. And it's fragile. I picked my 1st one up at Amazon Warehouse Deals for half price, which was a mistake because it came cracked and was probably a customer return. So pay full price from the manufacturers site or buy full price version from Amazon. Don't set yourself up for a compromise, because a return is always a hassle. Amazon's return policy is excellent, but still.

Once you get your True Mirror you can see the real you (not the 2D version on video) but REALLY see you as you would if you where standing in front of yourself non reversed. It's amazing how different you look, you almost want to make out. :D

I would need the fun house version.

They sell a body length version but whoah $$$$$.

I actually came upon the true mirror when I was reading about the "hair part theory" and what your hair part says about you.

You can kinda do the same thing electronically with a smartphone/table/phablet with a front facing camera.  But yeah, nothing beats an analog reflection.

Analog reflection seen with two eyes in two merged perspectives.  ;)

Hmm this is interesting. It might be good for a bit later in transition when so many seem to have trouble getting past seeing the "old them". I could see this kind of snapping you into line with other's perception of your progression. If this was the case however, would then looking into a regular mirror ignite worse dysphoria? Hmm... I won't be shelling out the coin myself but if I had a bit more lying around I would definitely consider it.

I'm obsessed with vanity so I couldn't resist.

I would advise the non reversed version of you is not necessarily a world changing experience. But if you require every bit of visual affirmation that you are presenting as best you can as people would actually see you, it helps.

(you can also build one)

Yeah I look really ugly in a true mirror in my opinion. But I think it's because I'm so used to my mirror version?
