Some people tell me I pass, some say I don’t, the worst case was someone telling me that I look like a handsome man and ugly woman at the same time, but I can’t trust any of it. Every time I look in the mirror I see different face, ranging from manly man to effeminate twink, it changes several times a day and is always distorted in some disgusting way. The only things I absolutely know for a fact is that I have strong jaw and visible browbone but with okay-ish proportions, the rest is a blur filled in by my brainworms.

    Oh absolutely, but my experience is more along the lines of my face morphing to something else in my memory than what you have going on. I have a tendency to stare at myself in the mirror as a way to reinforce my self-visualization, but I always stray back towards having an inconsistent memory of my face. I don’t really have this issue with people that I know well, or people who have distinct facial features, so I’m suspecting it’s a dysphoria thing as it’s slowly gotten better over the past couple months now that I don’t clearly look like a woman anymore.

      Exactly opposite of me. My honfidence slowly grows when I don’t see mirror for long enough, and I feel violated by every reflective surface on my way silently mocking me. I’m glad it got better for you though.
