Your Reflection is Yours Alone

by Hannah

I have a new article for The Breast Form Store!  

There’s a cliche saying (but that doesn’t mean it’s not accurate) that says to never judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.

Obviously for us it’s a mile in stilettos, but I digress.

The inspiration for this article was more or less that no one really knows the work and energy and effort that we put into our presentation besides ourselves. I am not the cutest girl in the world by any means, but the difference between the reflection HE has and what Hannah sees in the same mirror is significant. There’s a LOT of work that goes into my transformation.

When someone, well, criticizes how we look, it can invalidate and diminish the effort that it took to, uh, feminize ourselves. And really, no one likes to have their hard work, regardless of the project, minimized.

This is another reason we as t-girls and however you identify need to continue to uplift and support each other. WE know how much work and care we put into our presentation and we can relate to how much time and effort it took for us to develop a steady hand to apply eyeliner or how many times we changed outfits because we just didn’t feel cute wearing what we picked out.

Love, Hannah

  1. Yep never understood the old question does this make me look fat until I began dressing the way I wanted or the girl in me
    Now it totally makes sense and these days as I’ve got older it’s more and more difficult to like that figure in the mirror

  4. This is one reason I try to leave positive comments even on something that might not be a great look. You can almost always find something good, maybe the fit isn’t great, but its a great color. Or it might not be a flattering style, but it really highlights a body part. I know sometimes its hardest for me to get out of my own head about my look.

    There’s a band called Rain City Drive who have a song titled “Talk to a Friend” and part of the chorus:

    “I wouldn’t talk to a friend the way I talk to myself/
    See the voice in my head really needs some help.”

    That really hit me and has lived with me for some time. So, now I try to remember that when I’m getting down on myself.
