So yesterday I went to my girlfriend's last prom with her and I got to go as Renée! I had been in the guest system as Renée, and I got to wear a dress and everything! I noticed a lot of differences between last night and other dances I have been to, especially that I was comfortable immediately, instead of after 45 minutes of trying to get comfortable. My mother seems to think that the dress almost had no effect on that but I think it did, even if just by facilitating it. The awkward way in which I dance finally felt right. The other thing that I noticed is it increased my dysphoria. My body at times just felt inauthentic and trapping. My voice very much contradicted the euphoria I felt to be me. So I definitely feel that HRT is in my future. So there are my 2 cents worth.  ;D

Wow, that is truly awesome. I'm very happy for you but at the same time a little envious.  This is something I have to deal with as a late transitioner.  I'll never go to prom, likely never stand up in a wedding as a bridesmaid nor be a bride myself. I'm so happy for you that you've come to a conclusion about your gender identity early enough to enjoy some of those experiences.
