Functionally, that is.
I recently posted a new avatar photo. I haven't used one for perhaps a year or two now. It prompted a number of PMs. One exchange made me realize that I'm viewing photos somewhat differently.
My avatar was prompted by another member's comment to the effect that yet another member never posts photos of themselves. What the latter does is neither here nor there, but the comment stuck in my mind for some reason, so when I recently purchased a few new things, I snapped a quick photo for uploading.
When the PMs started, I realized that somewhere along the line I had stopped examining photos "looking for the guy" ... at least with my friends. Instead, I was looking at them no differently than any friend or family pictures. Theresa's protest pictures are an example, those of her and Simone visiting Misty are another. They were just interesting pictures and an event update. That I hadn't viewed them in terms of where Theresa's appearance started or how much it had changed only became apparent in our PM exchange, which brought to mind her own, older avatar. THAT evoked the thoughts of change.
It's a minor illustration, but it does indicate an important shift in my thinking. Which is that I'm past one of the bases of my own transphobia, which is the lingering disbelief in the reality of the transsexual condition. It's a sign of normalcy.
