I was replying to another post and mentioned if anyone ever asked about the woman driving out the driveway of hanging clothes on the line I would reply that my sister was visiting. That reminded about the other day when I had been looking at some family photos while I was dressed as Olivia. I had to go to the bathroom and while I was in there looking in the mirror I was shocked at how much I looked like my sister. Like seriously if we were standing side by side with me femme you would definitely say those two are sisters. At first I found this quite disturbing as while I love my sister to death she is pretty out there and the opposite of me in so many ways. Then I thought it is amazing that generally everyone thinks we don't look too much alike but with some makeup you can really see the resemblance.

Has anyone else found the same thing with your sister or even another relative?

@oliviac The only relevant female relative would be my mother. No sisters, no aunts, no nieces.

Do I resemble her? She was my mother, so I have a similar pencil neck and high ridged nose. Otherwise, she died a few decades ago, so my memory is fading.

I have two older sisters.

Without makeup, I don't look like either of them.

With makeup, it's as if someone has blended their features together.

Admittedly, someone else has then cruelly taken my Dad's nose and superglued it onto what would otherwise have been quite an attractive face, but you can't have everything.

Praise the Gods of Genetics.  I don't look like any of my relatives.  There are many attractive women in my extended family and they all look related.  I wouldn't want that.

@oliviac I do look like one of my three sisters, a couple of years ago I was on fac*book and I stumbled on a female cousin I haven't seen for about 25 years and I thought that her profile photo was me, shock horror yet funny.

When I was young, people often said how much I looked like my mam. As I've got older I resemble my dad. However, if I use a little imagination I fancy I look vaguely like my great-grandmother on my dad's side. I'm not sure that's a positive thing, because she appears a right battleaxe in the one photo I have of her! I wouldn't mind having a go at the wonderful dress she wore, though.

@oliviac Hi Olivia, I could perfectly understand the feeling of this story that you shared with us because when I am in femme I also look a lot like my sister, to the point that on one occasion a friend who knows the two of us and who knows that I am CD saw a photo of me wearing one of my sister's dress and thought I was her haha. It was really surprising to see our great resemblance because as you mentioned we don't realize it if we compare ourselves to our sisters when we are boys but with makeup and a wig it comes to light that we really are sisters. I also feel like I look like a cousin on my dad's side of the family and a little bit like my mom (RIP).

Greetings to all girls   Smile

@oliviac My late wife and I used to have "dress up" evenings and weekends at home.

One day when I was dressed and she'd done doing my hair and make up she stood back to admire her handiwork and then started smiling and giggling, saying: "Wow! You look just like your mother!"

Neither of them is around anymore and I dress up by myself and often when I pass the mirror, I see my mother - but sometimes also my elder sister.

@oliviac My neighbor told me I looked like my mother which was super...eerie to hear, I know I look a lot like my parents, but hearing that felt a little odd. She wasn't lying tho, when I showed other people the same pictures, they all were in agreement.

@moiralovesyou You are so right that as logical it is that we look like our parents, (my sister in my case) it's still a bit eerie when you are confronted with the fact.

In the first wig I bought (long, straight, grey/silver, centre parting) I found I looked very like my sister.  Not that there's anything bad in the slightest about her or her looks, I just don't want to look like her! So that's one of the reasons why I don't wear it very much.

One million percent! It’s honestly a little disconcerting at times. From my mother to my sister and even my daughter it is frankly a little odd sometimes. I think if some family members saw me they would think it was actually my mother from back in the day. Lol

When I started seriously dressing (by that I mean getting my own clothes, my first wig ect.) In my early 20's I looked a little bit like my mother.  In some recent pictures I look similiar to my sister.

Messing around with AI gender swapping photo editing I look a lot like my sister.

The first time I put on a wig and makeup and looked in the mirror, I saw my mother. It was a bit eerie given my first forays into dressing as a child were with her undergarments. It's less jolting now, but I can't deny the resemblance.

I look like my mother, I take after her side of the family. She looked very much like her brother, my uncle, and I was often told I was the spitting image of him. They're both passed away now so I have to rely on photos to do a side by side comparison.

It may have something to do with being intersex, I have my Mom's hands, feet, chin including dimple, nose, cheekbones, eyes and eyebrows. With makeup on my pictures look a lot like hers, so much so that I've been told I could pass as her sister or daughter. I don't begin to resemble any of my siblings, just my mom.

Hugs,

Ms. Lauren M

I feel like most people would look at my sister and I (in guy mode) and not have a tough time deducing that we were siblings. But my Melodee look is nothing like her, though she's quite pretty.

Funny story, when I was telling her about this, I used the 'picture is worth 1,000 words' method and just handed her a photo. She stared at it a good 5-10 seconds before understanding...and even then I think the fact that the photo was taken in my own living room helped her a bit. I was secretly quite proud that my own sibling didn't immediately recognize me!

@melodeescarlet I would be proud too if it were me that she didn't recognise me straight away.

I resemble my mom. A lot. Sometimes when I see myself in the mirror I prepare myself to be reprimanded for coming home late on a school nite.

I resemble a cross between my mother and sister and my wife is the one who noticed first. Sometimes she says OMG you look just like your sister while other times she says my mom. I think I should have been moms other daughter and my sisters sister lol

I'd have to say I look like my mother when dressed.   The funny thing is that when I'm not dressed, I look exactly like my father.   I guess I'm just a pretty good mix of the two.

I love this topic.  My wife found an old polaroid selfie I took of me fully dressed, wig and makeup.  She was upset that I had taken the photo and left it where she could stumble upon it.  She was worried that another family member might have found it.  When she calmed down she said, "Good Gawd, you look just like your mother"!  I considered that a huge compliment, as my mother was a beautiful lady.  Plus, it meant that I looked like her sister - my aunt Kathy, who inspired my fem name, Kathy.  Aunt Katherine  was a military spouse in the late 40's through the early 60's.  Her hubby, an Army Brigadier General, commanded an Armored Division in Vietnam.  So, Aunt Katherine was always dressed "to the nines".  She has been my female inspiration.

For me there isn't any real resemblance now to my direct family.  When I was young I looked like my sisters but age does weird things. Since my nieces have grown into adults I have been asked if they are my daughters when out with them..I'll take that.

When dressed I look like my mother with aspects of my sister mixed in as well.

When I told my son I showed him a picture of Traci and he said “You look like your older sister (his aunt)”. I realized I do. Wow, family resemblance. 😳
