It depends on how the angle.

When I look in the bathroom mirror, I see a handsome young man. We have a side mirror in the bathroom, for whatever reason, so when I look at that I see a girl. My body is quite feminine and curvy..

As a teen, I used to think that my body looked like a girl's body with male genitals grafted on, and used to think it was a shame this body was wasted on a guy.
I often felt this way growing up

I see a woman.  A mother.  A wife.  Those are the things that I am, and that's what I see when I look in the mirror.

My hair used to look similar to that but it gave me the worse bouts of dysphoria. I don't know why. I saw female and I hated that so I chopped it off.
That's fair enough. Suits you fine as it is, though. :)

I see my father, which is off-putting, but it's nice that I see the maleness in my face instead of the female aspects.

I don't look at myself in the altogether. No sense beating myself over the head about it.

As a kid/teenager I used to look in the mirror and see what I thought would be a good looking guy. Enter young adult hood.. and I was like.. hmm I look like a female.. even somewhat attractive.. enter now.. I see a dude looking back.. though.. boobs and body shape is kinda off :( *cries*

Now that I've cut my hair, I see more of a man when I'm clothed. For the first time, I'm seeing a man and I love it. Of course that makes me feel worse when other people don't see it.. Oh well. Good with the bad.
I finally realized who you remind me of (physically, anyways; personality-wise you're much nicer): Gideon from Scott Pilgrim.

On-topic, what I see varies from day to day; it's almost always better when clothed.  Sometimes I see a slightly pretty girl, sometimes a guy who'll never look like a girl in a million years.

Not a mirror as such, but when I saw my reflection out of the corner of my eye in the bus window last night, I didn't see me. I saw a woman.

*Was quite overjoyed by it*  :D

I'm pretty ok with what I see in the mirror. Clothed or naked I see a woman.
It's photos I have a problem with. I always see a man in photos :-/

When I am naked I see somebody I do not know in the mirror. However, I am dressed, then I see a woman

I never look at my whole body in a mirror... Eeeewwwww what a horrible thought.

Now I have boobs I look at my top half... and I do more often than not see girl now.

I see bits and pieces of the real me here and there. But when I put the whole thing together I see this young man staring back at me and I wonder "How in the world can THAT turn into what is inside, specially when I look at my hairline.

But I also try to embrace the guy in the mirror who needs as much love and care as I do.

Usually I look in the mirror and wonder how I could ever really look like a woman, but for the first time, the other day I combed my hair down over my ears and bangs, and I saw a tiny bit of cuteness that made me smile.  That was something very rare with my low self-esteem, but it also made me feel good and have a bit of hope.

I see a guy in the mirror when clothed. When naked, I see a guy's face on a woman's body, and that looks bizarre and disturbing, like a Photoshop prank, and then I move my hand and realize that it's me and I actually do look like that.

Thanks that really means a lot. Especially sense its still hard to see myself as a man. That picture was a turning point for me. It was the first time I saw myself as the person I felt I was; a man. :)

There is nothing female at all about your face. I thought the picture was a male one from an avatar gallery.

Thanks. That means a lot especially sense I'm feeling a tad bit dysphoric.
Every day brings me one step closer to being myself.

I see a Female body with a Male spirit

I don't see a woman

I see what others can't, I see a guy. A shorter than average one, who isn't very hairy, and isn't comfortable being naked. But a guy.

When i really look (Don't usually look to long) i see a full body costume that i can't take off. Underneath that i see a girl trapped in a prison cell. Look a little longer and then i can see the person i really am without all the masks.
Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions which is hard.

Be positive in the fact that there is always one person in a worse situation then you.

Whoaa, dude thats what I said to my shrink x_X

I somewhat recognize my face, but when it comes to the body I see either that quote up there ,or a horribly deformed male body.
