It seems very obvious now, and is probably obvious to all you lovely people, but I hadn’t thought about a strong aversion to mirrors being a sign of being trans. I have hated mirrors/pictures of myself for as long as I can remember, sometimes neglecting hygiene because of it tbh. I know most people aren’t like a huge fan but fuck do I hate it. And apparently so do a lot of transpeople
It was honestly one of those things that finally clicked for me after the fact that my egg cracked. Just a big ol’ revelation of why I hate having my pic taken.
conversely, I have taken more selfies in the past few months, since the effects of my hormonal transition started being visible, than I had in at least a decade prior.

The best feeling is staring into mirrors for minutes at a time, after years of avoiding them.
Yeah that sounds about right. I’ve never enjoyed looking in mirrors or at photos of myself because I do not like the way that I look.
