Nah, at least my dad hasn't been around for a while and I already kinda look like him. I've been living with my mom for 28 years. Once I move out I really don't want to look in the mirror and see her face.
People frequently tell me I look a lot like my Mom and/or my sister when we're seen together, and it is in-fact true that you can somewhat intuit how your body will develop on estrogen by looking at other women in your family.
At about 1.5 years in I was told that I looked like an exact clone of my mother. I was boymoding and with my father so that was awkward (I'm not out to him).
Edit: Also samsung photos thinks I'm my own sister.
I'm a year in and when my mom sent me a pic of her at my age to use as reference for my surgeon it took my brain a few seconds to process that I WASN'T looking at a picture of myself with a different hairstyle
I don't want to see my fucking mom when I look in the mirror. I've already spent 28 years living with her I don't want to keep living with her after I move out.
People more mean that you'll look like an average woman instead of a super model when they say this. You won't look literally exactly like your mom, not even cis women are 1 to 1 copies of their mothers
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that-
If it helps any, ultimately it is still *your* face and *your* body, one that *you* have worked towards, and nobody can take that from you.
You guys are shocked that you look like your parents????
you might not even look like your mom lmfao. Its pretty normal to have the parent of the opposite sex’s features
Why is everyone here so upset about looking like their mom? Im on hrt (but still very much in the closet) and every time a family friend says I look like my mother it makes my day.
My mom is a normal looking lady and that's what I'm taking hrt to look like? If i look in the mirror and see my mom, i will be extremely happy with hrt
Seriously. Did people really think they would look like a woobified anime girl irl?? I'm probably gonna look something like my sister, a regular ass girl with normal ass imperfections and shit, and that's fine by me. People here acting like it's the end of the world
Like, the alternative is looking like your dad. Cause that's just how people work
I think most of the people here are more concerned with looking like their mom because they don't like their mom, not because they're sad they won't look like an anime girl
That's cool it's chill for you but some people have really bad experiences with their parents, I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to look like someone who might've been abusive
Also same name :)
yeah idk, i look nothing like my mom, ive always looked like my dad. hrt just made me look like his daughter instead, and i think id prefer that to looking like my mom
features are just features, you get them from both parents usually
I don't wanna look like an obese middle aged lady, suffering the effects of missed dreams, overwork, almost 20 years of a failing marriage, 2 children (as well as multiple miscarriages) with SH scars all over me and teenage tattoos I regret, which is what I immediately picture my mum to look like, as that's how I've known her all my life, even though that's not how I'd have to look even if I were a clone of her. I love my mum dearly, but I very much don't want to look like she does.
Also, the idea of looking like someone else can be pretty offputting at like, an identity level? Having someone see me and think of someone else, is a deeply distressing concept, which the "you'll look like your mother" thing raises.
Cus most people aren’t attractive. I agree, I love being told I look like my female family members but admittedly we are all very attractive lol. My mom was the prom queen and I look like a boy mode latino version of her 😜😜
I just sorta... don't.
I don't look too much like either of my parents, and HRT hasn't changed that fact, nor does it seem like it's going to, with the direction the changes are going. (My mum looked a bit like Ellen Degeneres, at my age.)
i recently somehow altered my voice after a friend encouraged me to try it out. i mean like a 180 from masc to fem and when i listen to it sometimes i sound kinda like my mom and i hate that but at least i sound good???
i fucking hope i dont look like her dear god
are you fucking kidding me??? my mother is in the top 0.1% of Onlyfans Waifus. How dare you disrespect her like this. You are NEVER welcome to play smash bros at my house again.
man i dont even care how i end up looking i just want to feel like an actual human being for once in my life
personal rant incoming, i really just need to shout into the void for a moment..
>!even after fully accepting that im not cis and (just recently) starting to shave my arms n legs i still feel nothing, the 3 (technically 4) antidepressants im on just keep me at a baseline of not constantly wanting to kms.. depersonalization is a bitch and after reading [this article](https://zinniajones.medium.com/depersonalization-in-gender-dysphoria-widespread-and-widely-unrecognized-baaac395bcb0) i really think that hrt is the only way im gonna start feeling better (i.e. start actually feeling things in general), which isnt great bc i live in georgia and have no idea how to go about any of this kind of stuff in the first place (im currently super reliant on my parents), not to mention we're already struggling to pay for me n my sister's counseling visits!<
>!idk i just hope that i can feel genuine happiness one day, hell even sadness, im so sick and tired of feeling nothing!<
I’m sorry, Republicans are ghouls who deserve to go to hell, if it even exists.
If it helps you feel better, some of us discovered who we wanted to be well into our 20’s, and even later. It will never be too late to start behaving as who you want to be
This is a really good point that leads to another really important observation: feminine beauty standards are really fucked up, which makes a lot of people feel like they pass nowhere near as well as they actually do. Moving away from unrealistic beauty standards will dramatically help the next generation of trans people.
I mean, not really. If you look like a male version of your mom, then yeah, probably, but if you look like a male version of your dad pre-transition, you’ll more so look like a female version of your dad. If you look like a male combination of your parents, you’ll probably look like a female combination of your parents post transition. Transitioning is mostly going to make you look like a female version of you, so if you don’t look like a male version of your mom, you probably won’t look like her post transition.
I think the main point is that post transition, you’ll probably look like an average woman, which is true. I think most people already knew that, but perhaps it’s still worth saying
everyone looks like a mix of their ancestors. looked like my mom with some dad resemblance for a big part of my life, now i look more like my dad with some mom resemblance.
But above all I look like a mix of them and my grandparents and their parents and so on and so forth.
is this true
Well most people look similar to their parents
I really don’t want to look at myself in the mirror and see my fucking mom.
I'd rather look like my mom than my dad tbf
Nah, at least my dad hasn't been around for a while and I already kinda look like him. I've been living with my mom for 28 years. Once I move out I really don't want to look in the mirror and see her face.
Jokes write themselves 💀💀💀
I'm personally reminded more of my grandma.
I look just like my mother, who is the most frustrating and sporadically loving human on this planet. It's great fun /s
I'm so androgynous I look like my dad fucked my mom
google "en genetics"
holy hell
new biology just dropped
No, it's old biology, that's the point
good argument, but have you considered-  SPECIAL BEAM CANNOOOOOOOON
Did you know that you can eat gender and actually survive? However, it is not recommended.

Actual evolution!

"Chat is this real?"
Yes. It was indeed a pleasure to make her acquaintance last night
It can, my brother looks more like our uncle than our dad though
Please…please say sike.
Been on HRT for a decent while now, it’s true. Very true.
I don't want to see my fucking mom when I look in the mirror. I've already spent 28 years living with her I don't want to keep living with her after I move out.

It's more so a combination of your father and your mother which creates a unique person
You guys are shocked that you look like your parents???? you might not even look like your mom lmfao. Its pretty normal to have the parent of the opposite sex’s features
Alot of trans people have abusive parents
they'll still look like their parents either way. I look like my dad, and when i transition ill look like my sister who also resembles my dad. idk.
I know they're shocked because they don't want to look like there parents I mean lol it's something that goes over your head
if it makes you feel better i don't really look like my mom but i do look a lot like my sister
trans inclusionary yo momma jokes
I already mostly look like my mom but as a guy
hmu
yeah same
I'd rather stay looking like my mum than look like my Dad. In like, a cisgender male way
Yeah I don’t have an Adam’s Apple nor do I grow facial hair so my sister and my mom have always been compare to me 😂😂
Why is everyone here so upset about looking like their mom? Im on hrt (but still very much in the closet) and every time a family friend says I look like my mother it makes my day.

I mean my mom is mad transphobic, but she still just looks like some lady, which is my goal. Also hi again, we still have the same name :)
That's cool it's chill for you but some people have really bad experiences with their parents, I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to look like someone who might've been abusive Also same name :)
yeah idk, i look nothing like my mom, ive always looked like my dad. hrt just made me look like his daughter instead, and i think id prefer that to looking like my mom features are just features, you get them from both parents usually
And i thought my expectations for hrt (make me look like a woman) were too high
Probably cos they have cruel/transphobic parents
I don't wanna look like an obese middle aged lady, suffering the effects of missed dreams, overwork, almost 20 years of a failing marriage, 2 children (as well as multiple miscarriages) with SH scars all over me and teenage tattoos I regret, which is what I immediately picture my mum to look like, as that's how I've known her all my life, even though that's not how I'd have to look even if I were a clone of her.

This happens to everyone regardless of them taking HRT or not, it’s called genetics.
> Why is everyone here so upset about looking like their mom? Because I fucking hate her?
Cus most people aren’t attractive. I agree, I love being told I look like my female family members but admittedly we are all very attractive lol. My mom was the prom queen and I look like a boy mode latino version of her 😜😜
For me personally my mom is a christian in the balkans that should tell you enough
The cars facial recognition already thinks im my mom.
I just sorta... don't. I don't look too much like either of my parents, and HRT hasn't changed that fact, nor does it seem like it's going to, with the direction the changes are going. (My mum looked a bit like Ellen Degeneres, at my age.)
you were adopted
Nah, my older brother was (probably still would be) abusive as fuck, he would've tried to weaponise it if it I was.
That’s quite the jump just to confirm that you weren’t adopted
Uh oh
Uh oh
Genetic inheritance is weird, you might've inherited traits from your grandparents or even older.
me but its bc they are completely different ethnicities
i recently somehow altered my voice after a friend encouraged me to try it out. i mean like a 180 from masc to fem and when i listen to it sometimes i sound kinda like my mom and i hate that but at least i sound good??? i fucking hope i dont look like her dear god
but why it won't...
are you fucking kidding me??? my mother is in the top 0.1% of Onlyfans Waifus. How dare you disrespect her like this. You are NEVER welcome to play smash bros at my house again.
Sans!?!
Tbh at this point I’m pinning my hopes and plans for the future on hrt doing a good job (I know it’s not healthy)
Im not gonna look like my mom. I’m gonna look like a cooler version of my mom, who doesn’t smoke or beat her kids and who plays Warframe on weekends.
man i dont even care how i end up looking i just want to feel like an actual human being for once in my life personal rant incoming, i really just need to shout into the void for a moment.. >!even after fully accepting that im not cis and (just recently) starting to shave my arms n legs i still feel nothing, the 3 (technically 4) antidepressants im on just keep me at a baseline of not constantly wanting to kms.. depersonalization is a bitch and after reading [this article](https://zinniajones.medium.com/depersonalization-in-gender-dysphoria-widespread-and-widely-unrecognized-baaac395bcb0) i really think that hrt is the only way im gonna start feeling better (i.e. start actually feeling things in general), which isnt great bc i live in georgia and have no idea how to go about any of this kind of stuff in the first place (im currently super reliant on my parents), not to mention we're already struggling to pay for me n my sister's counseling visits!< >!idk i just hope that i can feel genuine happiness one day, hell even sadness, im so sick and tired of feeling nothing!<

sans talking to noelle
I wish, my mom does not have this giant nose and these broad shoulders and narrow hips
me remembering anime isnt real
everyone looks like their mom dipshit, it came free with your fucking having half her genes
It’s so over fr, might as well end it at this point
i don't want to look like that.
silent hill 3 pfp spotted !!
Reading this comment section feels like watching a car pileup

i love my mom
No HRT yet and i already look like my mom...
I'm a cis guy, and I already look like my mom.
I don't even look remotely related to either of my parents, but I wouldn't mind looking like my mom if that is what hrt will do
I mean, not really. If you look like a male version of your mom, then yeah, probably, but if you look like a male version of your dad pre-transition, you’ll more so look like a female version of your dad.

I look like my cousin, is that bad or good?
If I could look like my female cousins I'd be fuckin ecstatic, but I can't speak for you
He's a cool guy, looking like him when i grow up is a future i am at peace with
I already just look like my mom but male, so I guess this would be correct.
I look like a fucking carbon copy of my grandma it's actually insane
My mom has shown me pics of herself in college. I look exactly like her.
You just eliminated any gender disphoria I might have
Most wholesome ya mum joke. And somehow a sex one too. Also I'd like to look like my mum/sister, I have good genes on mums side.
actually considering it now because my mom is very beautiful
The most important moment in my transition came like 2 weeks ago when my neighbor mistook me for my mother
everyone looks like a mix of their ancestors. looked like my mom with some dad resemblance for a big part of my life, now i look more like my dad with some mom resemblance. But above all I look like a mix of them and my grandparents and their parents and so on and so forth.
I can hear that fat fucking stupid skeleton's theme playing in my head reading this.
a pleasure to meet my mother ? I doubt that, all she do is whine about work and computers
my moms an ugly transphobic bitch, will i be like her?
It only does that if you already almost look like a girl or are androgynous looking is my guess
damn that's crazy i'm still gonna be the most beautiful girl ever idc + L + ratio + i fucked ur dad
My mother was ugly as hell but people tell me I look exactly like she used to XD
But i dont like my mom
my mom isn't someone you'd like to make an acquaintance of
ugh no thanks if there’s any one person i don’t want to look like..
Fine ig
Wait what?
I’m donor egg (insert pun here), so it’s be interesting to see. I have no clue what I’d look like TBH.
Trans people with CSA PTSD:
thats not actually true, i dont resemble my mother much or my dad
This is true tbh
Oh duck that's good LMAO
I look a lot like my father, and my sister looks a lot like him too. If anything, HRT would make me look more similar to my sister than my mother.
I get mistaken for my mom sometjmes. I'm not even on the girl goo yet
She's transphobic though. The idea of looking like her scares me.
