Have you seen yourself on TV?

i recently saw the bbc drama "micro men", and was struck by the portrayal of roger wilson (now sophie wilson), techie guru of acorn computers in the '80s.

she reminded me strongly of myself, pre-transition. major social awkwardness, fumblingly trying to be feminine but not quite getting it quite right, and being perceived as slightly weird instead...

Update:

i've seen myself on tv too, in the literal sense. what i'm asking is if you've seen a character who reminded you really strongly of yourself.

    Not on tv, but I have seen a few on movies though where the main character spoke to me. I think It's nice to have an experience like that when it's actually based on a true story, it's always good to know you're not alone. :)

    I've always seen myself as the "mad" scientist type, a la a cross between Dr. Frankenstein, the absent-minded professor, and the nutty professor. I was always interested in science; was considered to be a social outcast; but with a good nature and very dry, quirky sense of humor that many found to be hard to follow (somewhat like the characters from "The Big Bang Theory).

    Don't know if this really answers your question, but there is my answer.

    I was on the local news actually, my school was givin some award, somthing about being the best catholic school in the state of new york or something like that. I was interviewed and stuff like that. I was also on the local news for getting caught with my friends weed...but people believed me and hes getting expelled...but no ones being detained or put into any legal trouble or anything like that.

    Oh well in that case them I see myself in Alexis Meade, we both will do anything to get our way, we srew around with our siblings, but we love them all, we're all feminine...to a point, we both also have somewhat daddy issues. I guess both of us are transsexual but I rarely think about that because of how smexy the actor that plays her is...
