man, i havent thought about cathy in a million years and now i think shes like a mom and married and stuff? its like she evolved into rose is rose comic
Ah all us ladies noticing we are starting to look like our moms. I never thought I did and decades down the line I see a pic of me and I cannot help but to see my mom in my face.
True story: of my 5 siblings, I was the one who always looked the most like our mother, to the point of my dad commenting that our baby pictures were nearly identical.
I do find it amusing this was very true for me. I’m glad my mom is awesome so I don’t mind the appearance similarities.
I’m way taller than her though !(thanks dad for the tall genes)
Feels like this is gonna be one of those situations where having a bunch of cisters representing a spectrum between both parents is helpfully illustrative.
😆. My friend had this experience. He said "I look like my 80 year old grandfather" when his hair quit growing and his family's balding took over. "Facial hair and a$$ hair in exchange for a head of hair"
Now that people talk about it it's true, even for cis kids. All I can think about is that the people you grow up with are influencing how coded your gendered self is?
I have vague memories of my parents telling me that the place I was adopted from had a blind lady who would try to match babies with prospective parents by feel, which ends up weirdly making sense, as I’m built like my adopted dad and now I look like my mom.
Not really. Couples are attracted to each other based on many things including feel. And you'll notice that couples who have been together for awhile start to look like each other. So I'm not surprised adopted kids can look like their adoptive parents etc
By middle school I was 100% convinced I was part of some scientific study analyzing what happened to biological children when told they were adopted and otherwise unwanted. I absolutely had the coloring (hair/freckles) of adoptive father.
Same for step-daughter. Said even at age 19, she was still convinced that she was my biological daughter.
Even her friends & boyfriend had told her there was "no way" I wasn't her biological mother, because she resembles me so much.
Wasn't until her biological mother contacted her that she believed
I have a daughter that had transitioned under HRT and I swear that sh*t is made with fairy dust, in just a year she really changed a lot! And yes, she looks a lot like her mom now LOL
True story: I had a long phase of being out to some family and not to others. Those that knew gave me concerned speeches about how they worried my transition was me trying to replace my dead mother. Those that didn't know, spent years commenting on how I looked *exactly* like her. it was... awkward
heredity + aging = my daily nightmare, faced each dawn.
someone replaced my brain into my aged father's body while I slept.
this is the only rational explanation.
I jump scared myself when I got out of the shower the other day. My shower entrance is right in front of the mirror, and for a moment I saw my dad's face in mine.
I never truly understood body dysmorphia until that moment... I wanted to scream and cry.
Not that I hate my mother she’s a lovely woman … I just don’t see the point in running away from “ becoming your father” only to end up becoming your mother”
Honestly, HRT doesn't make you "look like your mother". You just look like your father and your mother's daughter. Which means you DO have some traits from your mother, and some traits from your paternal family. Now the idea is to get a style that isn't your mother's.
I mean, that could be this universe, only thing stopping you is yourself(presumably, i understand that there are other reasons not to come out as trans that are outside of your control)
I'm the youngest of three and the family joke was always that my oldest sister and I both look like we're related to our middle sister, but we look nothing like each other. I started HRT and steadily it's been like "Oh THERE'S the resemblance."
Middle sister between 2 brothers and this is our experience. Older looks like mom’s family, younger looks like dad’s family, and I look like whoever I’m standing next to at the time.
I use one of those aging filters on my 17-year-old, who may in fact be an egg and we’re just trying to see what they decide (and what the country looks like in a couple years) and I was like “oh god. You’re my grandmother”
i use to joke with my parents that there was a mixup in the Hospital and one day I find my real parents that were millionaires
then I hit my mid 20s
My hairline receded and I look exactly like my father .
I could no longer make that Joke

It's a"son a bitch!" Moment.
And go figure I was the trans girl! 😂

Gains weight without HRT and cuts my hair. "oh, oh no, I look like my dad now."
I finally met birth father side family. They're all handsome and pretty but I don't look like them.
I'm slowly morphing into some third thing and I know that's possible but it's weird 👀
By the transitive property or whatever.
For what it's worth I looked like my aunt on my father's side

Ain't HRT grand?
Hey your mom is a very nice lady. Tell her I said hi.
But it could also be bullshit.
Even her friends & boyfriend had told her there was "no way" I wasn't her biological mother, because she resembles me so much.
Wasn't until her biological mother contacted her that she believed
My mother is wonderful though so, win-win
*fees may apply
my entire look is my great grandmother’s look …
But apparently I look like my great grandmother!
Fortunately, I look like her slightly prettier sister.

(somebody remind me in a year to check if it did happen)
Which honestly, good thing.
On one hand, feels great to look like and be seen as a woman.
On the other tho... It's my mother.
Deadbeat dad genome fr.
