After transitioning, or as we transition, how has your life been wonderful and finally “right”?
There are different perceptions as to when transitioning ends.  Feel free to share out regardless.
Even if you have have not been transitioning long, what have been wonderful results for you that has bettered your life?  Many of us wished we had started our journeys earlier.

Be a good example of good behavior.  Always be kinder than needed.  Be tender to others.  You are as beautiful as the thoughts you think and the words that you speak.   Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding.  Knowledge and action shown without love is not impressive.  If you look for the good in people you will find it. Healthy relationships are so important to good living.  Serve others.

Good living, joy, unity, love, and happiness can come from following these practices: Never let selfishness or conceit motivate you.  Regard others as more important than yourself.  Do not limit attention to only your interests, but include the interests of others.

   "After transitioning, how has your life been wonderful and finally “right”? “

For me, my answer is a resounding  YES
After I went Full-Time in December 2016 and relocated to Alaska to start my woman owned
Financial Planning and CPA business I have found acceptance and romance.

Very little negative reactions from my business clients and the townspeople here.

It allows me to be who I am, but...... I still get caught out in the rain, i still get meals that aren't cooked to my liking, I still wait on hold for too long when calling places, and cats still bite after 14 seconds of the patting they came over and demanded.  :laugh:

It ain't perfect. ;D

The most important thing that made my life after transision correct was the total lack of any gender dysphoria. I am in the body I should have had all along. This is a most wonderful feeling.

I certainly didn’t have a choice about transitioning. I either transitioned from he to she or I died. Life is still not easy and gender dysphoria hasn't magically disappeared. But living it’s a lot better now.

What's been made right is other people. I'm the same person: quick to cry, children-loving, drawn to beauty, chatty, etc. But now other people don't expect me to say and do things that are unnatural for me.

The answer for me is a resounding YES. I transition socially and legally before any surgery and that was wonderful. However, after my GCS last year, my life is now fantastic.

Transition is a cure for GD... it cured mine.. decades of pain and suicidal ideation.. gone in a very short while.
I started living when I went full-time. I met the love of my life and found the house of my dreams.
There was no choice, this is who I am.. and living as me is the best medicine available.

My constant struggle with anger is gone. I no longer feel as though I am in some sort of competition with others who were assigned male at birth. I can wear the clothes I had always dreamed of. I am no longer afraid or ashamed of simply being me. I am at peace with myself.

Love always -- Jessica Rose

Hi Jessica!

What do you mean by you saying, “I no longer feel as though I am in some sort of competition with others who were assigned male at birth.”

Competition as a male with CIS males or as a female trapped as a male competing with CIS males, or something else?

As a male I always felt as though I had something to prove. Unfortunately there were few things I excelled at, which may have added to the frustration I always felt for not being the best at anything. I no longer have the desire to be competitive. I don't have to be better than anyone, i just have to be myself.

This is me also. Though I enjoyed my male life a lot more, my dysphoria is much lower now and no longer making me sick. I do not feel ‘right’, if anything I am stuck in an in between place with no identity.

I will state that my life has been what I have always desired....
life in general is not always "wonderful" but I am happy and satisfied. 
When I went full time in late 2016 I concluded that it was finally right!
