Handwriting ...

[beckster]

Evening Peeps !! 

I was sitting in work today looking at the ever growing pile of paperwork that I seem to have amassed over the last 11 months.  It's supposed to be filed away neatly for reference every month but I am always way to busy for some reason !!  As I was reading through some of the documents and contemplating where I can best hide them before my boss notices my lack of filing and flips her lid, I noticed something strange - my hand writing has changed in the last few months.  I know this sounds completely weird, I aint making this one up, lol, it's true !! 

I don't remember reading anything in the little booklet that came with my hormones that said "taking these tablets can cause serious issues with your handwriting", lol !!    So I can only presume it's down to the fact that on the whole I am feeling happier and more relaxed about where I am in life.

It just seems like an odd thing to have changed if you know what I mean ?  Has anyone else experienced a change in handwriting, or is it just me ?  Please tell me its not me - even if it is !?!?

I don't think mine has changed or it's been very subtle if it has.  I tried to write neater, but I kind of gave up on that.  I just write how I write.

Yea... mine changed.  Now I can't read it at all!  When I use a pen, I print so I can read it myself.  Fortunately, my printing is very neet (as in architect neat) and is never questioned as being masculine.

My signature is big and loopy.  Definitely not masculine but not necesarrily feminine either.  It is totally illegible. I should have been a doctor.

Interesting, I was pondering this just the other day. Every GG I know: mother, daughter, ex'es, etc., all have beautiful flowing, swirly, cursive handwriting. I write more like an Engineer on 'ludes...it actually caused pause for concern!

[tinkerbell]

Mine didn't change either, but people always thought I had a very feminine handwriting anyway.  I know that my choice of words and writing style  have changed, but that's all.

P.S.  Becky, so what about your signature, has it changed?  that could be a problem.

[cindianna_jones]

Yea... Tink's handwriting is beautiful!  It is a wonderful talent she has of good penmanship.

I have ok hand wrioting, although not all that neat. But I dont think that gender always has plays a role in hand writing.  My mother used to write me notes exusing me from school and they would call her saying I had writen a false note! My mom would have to explain that she did write the note...Perhaps I should have just written them anyway...

My handwriting is beyond redemption, it's just wobbly, it's partly due to my dyslexia and partly I suspect due to my raynauds syndrome making my hand jittery and uncontrollable, it's never really been a passing consideration though.

I know for myself I used to print for the most part, but now my writing is cursive.  But to be quite truthful though I don't write that much in my day to day activities, darn computers

I print, I have always printed,after going full time I payed attention to how I printed, at first it was a contentious effort to print in a more feminine style. Now I find it just normal, I don't think HRT had much to do with it I think your right just being happier has alot to do with it

[Melissa]

I don't think HRT had much to do with it I think your right just being happier has alot to do with it

Good point.  Mine does seem to change somewhat depending on my mood.

My handwriting has always been somewhat feminine anyway.  So I hope it does not change.

Lol, its that long since I had to sign anything I had to get my bank card out my bag and take a look at it. 

I can still sort of sign my name as it is on my card if I think about it, Cindi isn't the only one who should have been a doctor though, lol.  Instead of just having a little squiggle for a singnature its now changed to a larger more curly type of singature !!  If that makes sense ?

You know, I just noticed my signature has changed too since going fulltime.  It's close enough, but a little loopier.

My handwritting has always been in a state of flux.
I have purposely changed it from time to time.
One reason is that I have been told that I have such "beautiful" penmanship.
I have changed it to simple blocky printing,
so that my writting would be
considered definately masculine.

Now that I have come to terms with who I am,
I have reverted back to the "beautiful" cursive
handwritting of my pre-tg paranoia

I recently wrote my Mama a letter, for the first time in my life.
I found it to be a wonderful experience,
being able to expose my inner feelings
and to be able to freely express myself.

Always Love,
Heather Rose

Mine improved, but there are other possible factors for this.

It's actually legible now.
