@Eve ah, yeah. its hard to think possible until you have it happen.

@nire or even imagine really... i wonder if it's visible to others as it is to me. Probably not yet i suppose

@Eve the answer is probably yes if they know to look for it, and also it will happen to you several more times

@nire that makes sense. I'm excited for the next times too 💜💚💜

@Eve like the second one i got was with this picture, which was a year in, and then the rest have come every few months for four years and then leveled out https://witches.town/media/n895m9UPHJ1JY0LSqdA

@Eve (I dont keep specific ones, just have a... too good memory and lots of images from the past 8 years labled by date... >_>)

@nire I can see how this picture would spark that feeling ❤️it's cool they come every few months for awhile, I guess it must track continuing changes

@Eve yeah, though its more like... your brain adjusting/forgetting things

@Eve bc a loooot of things, at least after the first year of HRT, is your body and face being way ahead of your brain, and your brain using memories of old-face as a shortcut to processing faces

@Eve its also why new people misgender you less than people who knew you before/early in transition, etc

@Eve (facial piercings solved it faster than normal for me, whoops. brain lost its landmarks and one day everything kind of popped into focus)

@nire right. so people who knew you before (including yourself) still run recognition off memory not realtime processing, makes sense
