GM Jessica !!!
regarding "..Nothing that is so dramatic that it has changed who I am. I have lived my life knowing that some of my mannerisms are not what typical males do, but I never really cared.."
I feel you there baby

Only I stopped caring about 2-3 years into my transition. I stopped caring if some of my "mannerisms" were pretty "butchy"

As asked my female dentist who owns her own boat and uses it..."am I not allowed to ride my motorcycle or play in my boat and fish and paddle board etc...?" .lol !! Of course not. And I have never looked back. Some guys find me a bit intimidating, but that's just a macho/testosterone thing and easy for me to "allow" them their chest beating and posturing that guys do LOL !!!
I am VERY happy being me and living me, and my devoted partner and our daughter are like wise happy with our home and all of our lil "ism's" lol
TY for posting this Jess, and for sharing from your heart with us.
Stay salty my friend !!!
