I tried on some hairstyles, eyeliner and lipstick on my photo online and found that I look much better than I expected. I posted it in the Pictues thread.
It's very encouraging, because I can look at that image of me any time and think of it as me. I don't hate my male image, but I dislike it. I feel kind of gypped to have such a drab identity. So I'm excited to have a better image to identify with. Now I know what's possible if I ever get a makeover.
The only problem is I don't know anyone in person who'd like to see me the way I'd like to look. Last year my ex-GF thought I dressed to attract guys. No way. I guess I want to attract a lesbian or bisexual woman.
Anyway, it's refreshing to have a look available to me that I really like. Normally, I don't think about my physical identity, because it's unpleasant, but now I have a look that I am glad to ID with.
Anyone else have identity issues like this?
