In other words, "Get out of the nest and fly, baby bird!!" KICK. XD
Well, wait until their feathers are fully formed first.

I don't think there is one truth. If I ask my 22 year old daughter, my 40 year old niece, and my 53 year old partner what it is to be a girl, I get three different answers.
It sounds like you are saying there is an obvious answer that is all around us, we just need to ask the right people, or hang out with the 50% and it will all be clear.
IAmM, maybe I am missing the point, or your post is not directed at a newish member like me, but I don't think it is that simple, and I don't expect two or three girls here to have The Answer for me or everybody else.
Yeah sorry. I could blame too much wine and turkey or great company that kept me up too late but I am not very good at expressing my thoughts at the best of times. I am always awkward and have learned to go with the flow and not put too many long Michelle thoughts into it, but if I do, my friends have learned to ask questions and then if they don't understand to look at me like I am an idiot.
Women are all different, you are absolutely correct. We as trans are all different and our goals are all different. Men are all, ah, men. Kidding, but men with other men and men with women are usually a vastly different experience.
You are all so right, it's about being happy with ourselves. We start transition to align the outer us with the inner us. That is what makes this site so important, the help and support that is here while we are figuring this trans business all out. The law of diminishing returns follows us everywhere though, including here.
Every human on the planet is in a constant state of transition. What I was talking about is our own personal transition from male to female, female to male and even either to just being trans.(maybe the hardest road, nothing but love and respect for those pioneers)
The truth about transition is: It ends.
We all reach the end of our physical transition. Hormones have done their work, we have had all the surgeries we want or can afford and this is it, we will all get there. It is hard to see or understand that when we are starting out, it is all so overwhelming, but transition will end. Hopefully at that point it is just us, inside and out.
That is what my post was about. The next transition. Some of us jumped into the deep end and transitioned physically and socially at the same time. It is not easy. My post was about social transition. If it is only physical transition that someone is looking for it is wonderful but if that feels like limbo then social transition is necessary.
Yes all women are different, but they are all women. Men are all different, but they are all men.
We are the people that we hang around. Spend your time with the people you want to be like. If you want to be like any other guy, hang out with the guys. Wanna be a girl, be with the girls. Even if it is uncomfortable at first, say little and watch and listen to everything they do and say.
I love and hate the saying,"Fake it till you make it." Even if it feels like you are faking it sometimes, it is not faking.
Anyway, my life is getting busy and I probably won't be on much if at all anymore. Just wanted to give a little push before I go, but in true Michelle fashion it comes out wrong or is just plain nonsense. BE who you want to be, whatever that might be, the best shortcut to that is to be with the people that you want to be like. Transition isn't living it, living it is.
Laters sweeties.
