When I first started transition, I remember the bizzare sensation of dysphoria changing my reflection. Having a good day and makeup on fire, I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror but then maybe I’d spot something clocky (like it was the end of the day and stubble starting to form) and I’d legit see my face transform from an almost passable woman into a man’s like a horrible TV show.

When I look in most mirrors, I hate what I see and feel like HRT has done fuck all to my face. But in photos or the CCTV at the self checkout I feel like actually I don’t look so bad, and I’ve done well out of HRT for someone my age.

I think it’s dysphoria messing with my brain but I’m not sure which situation is showing the true me.
