Well into RLE & HRT, did your hobbies and interests change?

[Lisbeth]

Not at all, I still hate football and sport! and I still hate all male persuits just like I did before!

Same here.

football and sports in not necessarily a male pursuit. I know many cis gendered girls who love football and other sports.

I don't think this should disqualify someone from being "feminine"

Maybe all mentioned is done by some GGs as well, but not exactly the "call" when first going on HRT, through menopause and puberty all at once?

can you possibly stereotype any more than you have done in this thread?

There are a lot of natal women engaged in ALL of the activities you have named.  HRT and RLE for the transsexual does not mean one changes the activities and hobbies that they elect to pursue...whether one CHOOSES to stop the pursuit of former activities is PURELY a personal CHOICE and has NOTHING to do with medications.

I'm still pre-T and pre-RLE, but I am full-time.

I have the same hobbies as before. I never really care about appearing masculine/feminine. I did get more into sewing and exercising, but mostly because the former I learned in home ec and found I enjoyed, and exercising because it's good for you. I never connected them with my gender identity. XD

 With HRT and RLE I seem to have lost some interest in video games. It's still there, but I don't need them like I used to... That, and I have to pay for them now 

That aside... nope. My interests haven't changed. I still like philosophy, sociology, gender/trans things, religion, science, etc. It's unfortunate that I haven't picked up any new interests. But I guess they'll come with time.


Best wishes.

No why would it I'm the same person. my hobbies and skillsets are the same too. I'm still a Technophile, Still a massive science nerd still crap at sports. still play computer games occasionally.

I've gained a few new hobbies (Archery, Running) but that's only for me trying new things that I used to do before and has nothing to do with hormones.

I agree with you on this one.

HRT does not change your hobbies. You change your hobbies for whatever reason but it is not hormone induced. It is ok to enjoy the hobbies you had when you presented male.

Hobbies does not define your gender.

  For me not really, I still do alot of the same hobbies as before, I still play video games just not as much and I still listen to the same music. Im a total rocker chic at heart & red jumpsuit apparatus is still my fav band haha  I still enjoy hiking and camping & rafting down the river is still one of my favorite things to do in summer.

[Francis Ann Burgett]

I either changed hobbies or I did the things I always wanted to do but I enjoyed learning how to sew & how to make a dress from a pattern. Learning how to use a sewing machine. It was fun but I never really did very well. I need to start back I guess.  Cooking very nice meals & setting a nice dinner table was fun. So many recipies, so much fun in a kitchen to experiment was fun. Men love to eat anyway. Also shopping, I slowed way down to find just the right item, trying clothes on, making sure of colors, acessories.  Before I never did any of these things. I hope to maybe take piano lessons again sometime.
