Pokémon HRT?
I don't know who made it.
I suppose that a lot of trans girls look like that, but don't see that in the mirror. I didn't think I could be one of them.
Today I saw myself in the mobile camera with my dad. I got startled when I saw a girl. I usually don't see a girl if I just try to see myself. Yeah, I know the front camera tends to distort our image.
Even having always had the looks of what they call a "twink", my dysphoria never allowed me to see me as a girl. Dysmorphia, maybe? I don't know. The fact is when I'm in the background, when the reflection of my face or my body is not something I expect to see, I see a feminine figure.
Curious, isn't it?

I have crippling dysphoria, I have serious problems with the mirror/cameras in general. But when I see myself when I'm in the background, I see a skinny girl.
Yeah, I know the front camera kinda distorts your image. I've also seen some comments of trans girls that say they started passing without having realized, maybe because they saw themselves every day and couldn't notice the minor changes, what happened to people who saw them all the time as well.
I'm not euphoric... I know it's not for much time. I've always been girly and that never kept me from feeling intense dysphoria almost all the time. But sometimes I get those pleasant surprises. Actually I've been trying to survive every day only to see the next surprise. It's all I can do for now.
What about you? Do you feel that you started passing before you or people next to you noticed how much you had changed?
My ex-boyfriend showed me that video a long while ago.
It's "magnet", a Vocaloid song, but performed by two singers (piko and Sekihan) who can alternate between masculine and feminine vocals. Their studio version is very good too.
I can't listen to it without crying because of the lyrics. Back in the days when voice training was not so easy to find, it was inspiring. I hope you feel inspired as well.
It doesn't mean I really wanna date, but I had amazing experiences with trans boys.
