feeling more female after hrt?

[lucaluca]

before hrt you thought that you are a woman and felt this way. did the feeling "i am a woman" became stronger after you began hrt?
all the testosterone in your body makes you feel more masculine (i guess), but does hrt makes you feel more feminine?
i read that a lot of people wrote "i feel more at peace with myself". is it because of the psychological effects of hrt?

i hope you understand what i mean

I can't tell whether it is the hormones themselves or the thought of making progress toward my goal that has cured my depression, but either way I am glad for it. It could be caused by both.

The one concrete thing I can say is that I love how it has all but eliminated my sex drive. Now I can enjoy love for it's own sake, before hrt it felt more like a form of pain relief.

I don't feel like a zombie anymore. HRT allowed me to feel emotions in a way that just felt right.

On testosterone I felt numb and listless and miserable. HRT didn't make me feel like a woman; it made me feel like a person.

It's only been a month, but I have to say, I feel like a fog has been lifted. I feel like I'm running on the right fuel. In fact, I feel more energized and able to think more clearly. I am better able to deal with stressful situations. I still have my lows and highs, but the lows aren't as bad, and the highs feel genuine. I can't wait until things really start to pick up!
