ok, I hope this isn't overstepping the rules in any way. But I wanna know if anyone else has issues with this.

I'm only about 8 months past accepting that I'm trans. I've been coming out to everyone. Most my family knows. All my friends know. I'm full time at home only for now until I can pass in public places.
Over the last 5 months I've been building a new wardrobe. It's a blast omg.. I love shopping. And I love the girl clothes so much.

Here comes the part where things get outa whack. When I'm getting into girl mode.. putting the forms and cute bras and such on.. it feels 2nd nature. Like I should've been wearing these clothes my whole life. I feel happy to finaly be myself. That said.. It's not a turn on or anything. But after I'm completely in girl mode.. sometimes I can turn myself on it the mirror. I'm a bisexual girl in my head. And I sometimes think I look "do-able" lol..

Does this make me sound like a perv or is there anyone else that this happens to?

I have strong suspicions that's the same thing which sometimes comes into minds of cis-girls as well... Just sayin'.

I'm turned on by myself often. I can't really believe that it is me looking back at me in the mirror.

I think most of us who are into girls have feelings like this.

See what happens if you decide to start growing breasts...

Not being able to believe it's really me? omg all the time.. Sometimes it's just so hard to look in the mirror and think about how far I've come. Every time I become myself for a bit.. I take a picture. Just so I can look back and see progress someday. I looked at the picture I took my very first time.. and was almost grossed out lol.. now I look in the mirror and think dirty thoughts haha

Oh there's no "if" darling. That's "when" hehe.. I'm going as far as my bank account will take me into this. But I know what you mean.

I think it's important to understand if HRT and surgery is right.  You might not want HRT unless you're ready to live full time as the other gender.  Of course it's fine if you're part time, a lot of people start out that way.

If you're CD/TV and not Trans, it could be harder to be happy with some of the HRT effects.  Loss of muscles, irreversible and probably smallish breasts, potentially sterile male function and impotence, dampened libido, etc.  From my own experience I wouldn't recommend MtF HRT at all for anyone who still wanted to be a man sometimes.  The life threatening risk of VTE alone makes it a little dangerous to dabble in.

For me I can't remember ever being "turned on" by seeing myself, certainly "wow that's me" surprise though.  I never had a CD/TV or fetish (skirts, heels, stockings, etc.) and to me the greatest attraction was finally being in the right body and role as a woman.  That most days means jeans, a nice top and subtle makeup.  Of course I feel great when I pull off a nice outfit, but it doesn't feel sexual.  Then again I'm mostly hetero, so maybe it's just different if you're attracted more to women in general?

It's normal, imho. If one has a good sense of self-esteem.

Seriously, and I'm not even joking... I made out with myself in the mirror on Valentine's Day. A lot of times I'll walk by the mirror and think something like, "Who's that pretty girl? Oh my gawd, it's me!"

If there were two of me, we would be so into each other. I have a cis-female friend who gets the same thoughts. And I also sort of identify as bisexual ever since transitioning.
