Cutting to the chase, I wrote about the brief glimpse I saw of myself in a restroom mirror. Instead of recoiling in horror, I made the quick gender judgement of "woman." (Without thinking)
One comment in particular made me feel so good, because it comes from a cis woman friend I have known for years and used to chill out with occasionally. Aimee wrote:
"I am so happy for you! I think that you could give me some lessons on female self-confidence. And I think THAT is fantastic! "
Little do you know Aimee, I got plenty of lessons from you :).
I am adding a couple more comments which seem to fit:
As Connie always has said, "Your best fashion accessory is a smile!" and as Paula Goodwin said:
I'm a little behind you on the HRT Route ~ well quite a bit actually, but the changes to how I look to others is already quite dramatic, my latest joy is having the confidence in appearance to go out without makeup."
How ironic is it we go to all this trouble to discover less is truly more in the makeup department.
