Today at work, I noticed I did what I always do but this time I thought about it more. After using the restroom, I go to the sink to wash my hands. When I do this, I always look down at my hands or sink. I realized when I was done, I hadn't seen my reflection at all and that this is what I have done for years.
But it struck me because last night, I had a wig and camisole on. I looked on the mirror for probably an hour while I combed the wig, flicked the hair and "posed."
Why is it I can look at myself when dressed out Fem mode but won't in male mode?
It reminds me of talking to my wife about Bruce/Caitlin. They showed some pictures of her mid through and you can see something is amiss between the new and the old. I told my wife that even though the rest of us will think the transition pictures make her look odd, to her, it was the most Fem and at ease she ever felt.
I think the same way when I'm wearing Fem. Looking in the mirror through the stumble and short hair, I see me.
