Positive traits for transition (possible trigger)

[Stevie]

   I started to get into a funk about my transition, I have been full time for quite awhile now and my Endo appointment is still a more than a month away, and I started thinking about all my negative traits it was really getting me down. Then I thought why don't I look at some things that I have in my favor.

1. Only Vellus hair on my arms and legs
2. Minimal adams apple
3  Round Face
4  Slight brow bossing
5  Small hands
6  Small frame size for my height
7  Age  56(used to think it was a negative but your scrutinized less as you get older)
8  Positive attitude (best thing I have going for me)

Not going to list my negatives, I'm trying to move past those.

it's great that you're recognizing your positive traits! and who knows, maybe the characteristics that you consider negative actually aren't. after all, there is a big difference between how one perceives oneself and how the external world perceives an individual.

Hmm. Let me think.

For me:

1. Possible DES or other prenatal hormone exposure
2. Adam's apple not really visible
3. Brow bossing is not really that bad
4. Height is 5'6"
5. Carry angle (arm) is well within the female range
6. Waist to hip ratio was 0.78 before I started (haven't really bothered to check recently, but my waist is now 30" and my hips are 39" to 40") and I've always fit women's pants well.
7. Male pattern baldness is only very slight and reversing now on HRT.
