Since I came out to myself a few months ago and "unbuttoned my lip and let the shield slip" per se (Amber Roskamp, that reference is for you)... My 'feminine self' has made a new resurgence and I've noticed a few things...
Including now when I laugh... I sound like my mother. I have two brothers, and no sisters (had I one, I think my GD might have triggered earlier in life...)
In all likelihood, I assume if I had a sister she would have already had similar traits to my mother. Now that I'm going down this womanly rabbit hole... I'm discovering that I have had these traits all along, but I buried them. Now that I've let my guard down on such things, it's been weird and crazy to go down this rabbit hole to discover my mother in me? And be open to it? Rather than avoid it, I'm beginning to embrace this 'new found glory'...
Any of you discover new facets of your parents in your transition? A smile, laugh, attitude, etc...?
