that when she looked at the Edward Heath she didn't see a man looking back at her but rather a woman - or something along those lines.

Margaret Thatchers comment got me thinking today as I was looking in the mirror earlier.  I didnt style my hair in any particula way just the normal way I wear it all bruched back.  I couldnt help think I look a bit feminine in appearance almost like a woman looking back.

So I style my hair a little more, brushing my hair to make it look girly and I cant help just seeing a woman looking back.  Is common for me think I see a girl especially now my hair is longer looking back from the mirror.  I sometimes wonder what other people see too.  Do I come across girly or behave girly I sometimes wonder to myself. 

Maybe was the top or pajama bottoms I was wearing.

Yesterday, this girl at work had a new haircut and I said nice haircut, I need a haircut to.  She said just don't copy my hairstyle ...

I was a bit flabbergasted.

Earlier I went shopping for some new shirts and in the changing room there were 3 mirrors.  I get to see my reflection from 3 different angles.  I didn't look feminine then though just a bit old and haggard which made me feel sad.

Do any other people have this strange feeling looking into the mirror seeing a woman looking back even when you haven't taken hormones or had surgery?  I have always had the thoughts of being a woman in my mind but I see more and more the female me from the mirror now which is somewhat new and exciting.

Be very wary of anything Margaret Thatcher said.....she wasn't quite human.

I haven't started hormones and can usually see a girl. My hair is barely shoulder length. When I do, my face lights up. Ive actually been tempted to ask my friend how I look, but I think self pleasure is better.

I had my first feeling of "seeing a girl looking back at me in the mirror" today in the elevator at work.  Our elevators are lined in mirrors from about four feet and up.  I don't know exactly what it was that did it.  I had my sunglasses on, my small hoop earrings and nail polish.  I've got a five-o'clock shadow from shaving yesterday morning.  The hair is reasonably light in color and grows slowly.  I didn't notice it in the mirror while wearing my sunglasses.

It was the strangest thing.  I was looking in the mirror, touched my face, smiled and turned to walk out the door.  As I was turning away, for a heartbeat I saw her there.  Happy, smiling, playful and pleased with life, finally...  I didn't pay it much thought until I started reading this thread, but thinking back on it now is quite emotional for me.  I'm ready to let her out and let the world see her, even if it's not full time yet.

she's there

Yes, "she" would peek out at me at random times, reminding me that she was still there, that she wanted her life, not the pseudo life "he" was leading.

And now she (me!!) finally has that life of her own.
