I'm not a selfie queen. I don't normally like to look at photos of myself, let alone share them with anyone else.

And yet...

My therapist told me I need to take selfies, if for no other reason to document the progress of my transition for myself. And that I can just keep them locked away in my photo library.

And yet...

Sometimes I look at these very unremarkable pictures and feel very "meh" about them. Or I frown in disappointment. Because I don't see the girl. Or at least a girl that could be described as even a little bit pretty.

And yet...

I'm showing you a no-makeup, messy-haired selfie taken from the closet mirror of my poorly lit home server room while wearing my go-to daily outfit, skinny jeans and a not-very-femme T-shirt.

Why am I doing this?

Because this time I did see the girl. And she actually seems girl-shaped. And happy. And I don't think she'll frighten small children.

So, there ya go, now you know what I look like.

Be kind, please.
