Is there anyone here that cares more about a physical transition than social one
Jessica_K:
To me the social part of the transition is just as important as the physical. I relate to women. I realised very recently how much when meeting a neighbour while we put our bins out. As I was at home I was not dressed as myself (lots told on this in other threads) but even so we spent about an hour chatting “woman” to woman.
I still have some male dominated activities, watching sport and building HiFi but women do them too just in lower numbers. Same with fishing etc though I do not do them myself I know women that do.
We are all different and we all have our own transition

Maybe the ideal situation would be to look fem while not losing any social status?

For me, that is a factor. I don't like my male privilege per se, and I don't feel I abuse it (I'm a feminist) but I know it's there and there's a little part of my brain that doesn't want to lose it, I'm willing to admit. I think the ideal situation for women would be to be women, but gain that social status, so of course, anyone who is self-aware might know that there's something to be lost (sadly) in the transition. It's not just a gender transition; it's (unfortunately) a downgrade in social status! :-\

I very much relate to women. My closest pals have tended to be/are women. I don't feel I relate to most men at all. But I'm a rough and tumble male as far as activities go, and I enjoy being carefree about my presentation...maybe that will change. In a perfect world, I could shrug off a gender role, men would leave alone, and women would welcome me into their fold, but I know that's just a dream. I'd joked with myself that I'm a butch lesbian in a man's body. Maybe that really is the case.

Many of us tried to man-up as we were told to just deny our inner feelings. I did this for over 50 years and for those 50 years, I was miserable inside. I still do a few of those activities that I did in my previous life because I really enjoyed doing those things. I am free to pick and chose what I will do. I am not limited by any thought of what is proper or too manley for a woman. I do as I will and that includes my presentation as to clothes and make-up. Sometimes I get dressed up and other times, I am casual. My choice. ;)

“I want and need a female body”…Omg are you me? I NEED THAT AS WELL. Everything she has I wish I had. Like I so wish I was “thick” and curvy. I want that. I was hoping I would get more curvy from HRT but so far no
