Some people see me and, in surprise exclaim "Wow. You look really different." or even "Yeah - you look good."
Others say "You had surgery? I can't see any difference."
I am getting more reactions from strangers that indicate that they see me as female
All this is fine and welcome, but what is important is that I can see a difference. Moreover, I can feel it.
I look in the mirror and see a subtly different face, but, as I hoped, my mind quickly integrates the image as "that's me." I'd even go so far as to say that there's less surprise than before.
Only when I think about it - that this is not the same reflection that I am used to, do I get a moment of weird.
