Post transition talk

[Itsdone]

Transition.. I went so fast.. about three years to complete but full time after first year.

Here are my biggest surprises thus far:

I am cured. I don't think about it anymore.. I am just living.
I know what its like to live and be female. Its not that big of a deal in fact its a hassle.
Being a woman is a disadvantage in many ways. It is a man's world and you have to be a female to get it.
Women treat me completely different.. just as men do.
Having a Vagina made me feel completely normal but its not for the faint of heart..
I submit to men when it comes to a guy I like.. I never thought that would be possible.. I am just a girl.
I have many more friends.... many more,
I am much more social and go to bars by myself and sing and meet people.. I am outgoing.
I smile all the time and do selfies all the time.. I never smiled before.
I get depressed easier and go through that once a month every month.. there is a time to be down and cry and have remorse for my old life.
I have no idea how to act like i used to act.. I am completely different.

The biggest change in my life was my divorce. After 32 years.  I miss so much having a mate, someone to do things with.  As a consequence, I have dived into music and it is my new spouse. I am very very good at it and will succeed with it.. for me its do or die. 

And last... life is better and worse.  Better most the time...  Who else gets to live two lives in one lifetime.

I mostly feel privileged to be me but it did not come with great pain... and great loss.

Congratulations!  It's pretty awesome to get to see the other side, and shed all of those problems you had for new problems!  I think it's hard to be a man or a woman, but so much harder to try to be what you're not.  I'm very happy to hear how much you've accomplished, and I'm hopeful that you'll yet find joy in those other things, too.  Thanks for giving us hope, proving that we're on the right path, or for some, I guess to light a different path for them.

Well, Ms. Done, or can I call you 'Its,' I am very happy for you. It is wonderful to hear that you have achieved the 'real me' status. Male or female we still have to have stress. How else can we get to stress about our hair turning grey? I have had a similar experience with becoming more social. Oh, the smiling more, yup. Take care, hope to see you around.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm happy for you and it's really helpful to read this from someone who is on the other side already.
