What would you say is the most exciting aspect of presenting your true self

Stephanie, that is wonderful. For me it is just being able to live as my authentic gender and for the most part do so without judgment from others. I can freely go while wearing what clothes and related items i want to along with where I want to. There isn't anything more exciting than that for me. Hugs

Exactly! Me too! No need or worry about being who I am. I can just be....and it's easier to just be rather than try to be someone else (which I did for 28 yrs before transition)

Hi All
I have to say that I'm proud of all of you here as there is no better feeling than being who you truly are Inside and out. The other thing as you all must have noticed. If you know who your true self is than you forget the old you. Your state of mind will never allow you to be clocked. At least that is what I have found. I'm a women threw and threw out!

Having the freedom to be me 24/7 and generally being accepted.  It is a process that is ever evolving and changing, and that is exciting.

Being Who I am and being seeing by others as who I really am. Now I am the "crazy outgoing funny friendly adventurous  and sometimes mean  " gal who I felt inside since the day I can remember. Good Bad and Worse, finallyI am who I am

Excitement about the new has vanished. I am just feeling alive now that I am living my life full time.

So, what are the moments I feel most alive. Talking. It is about finally having the 'right' to use the right intonations, but in big part about facial expressions. Eyebrows, cheeks, smiles, tilting etc. It all comes out finally and that is how a bite of freedom tastes.

Before, I didn't wish to even look people in the eye while talking with them. Head down. Now I have my sight up again. It is a big change. While my misanthropy generally didn't change, my loving self definitely increased.

So I will call it social/business interaction.

This is kind of an ironic question, for me, because I am currently going through a journaling prompt about 2015 and what it taught me.

And acknowledging that I am transgender is a huge huge part of that. So while I have a long way to go before I fully transition and become Sarah, I am making the small internal steps that are so vastly important.

My therapist put it as that I am putting down a foundation or roots into who I am going to be.

Hi All

I think that being who I am in side and out and feeling of being relaxed with your inner most feeling and spirt. I also have gained very good listening skills to someones needs other than my own and having a much bigger heart. I just feel good all over and threw out. 

I'm wondering If anyone else feels like this?
