Rules

- Posts must be trans related.
- No bigotry.
- Do not post or link to pornography.
- If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
- Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:
[CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc][CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem][CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary][CW: Transphobia][CW: Violence][CW: Weapons/Firearms][CW: Disturbing Imagery]
- Mods can be arbitrary.
Because it apparently has to be said, this community is supportive of all forms of DIY HRT.
Recommendations

[Transfem/Transmasc/Non-binary]
- Include image description when possible.
- Link to source

Interesting. I read it as a silly way to give advice (like the original: "don't use duct tape for that").
As a trans woman who doesn't pass (obligatory "passing is dumb" disclaimer), I try to avoid seeing both my reflection, and photos of myself. Despite this, I do think that the mirror is friendlier (and more accurate) than a phone's front camera.
By the way, when you look in the mirror, do you get almost an... Uncanny Valley effect?
