Have you thought how your everyday life will change or not as you transition?

I find it wonderful that when I am in a social setting with some ladies who know I am mtf, that they always treat me and talk with me as myself, a woman, even when I am noticeably dressed as a male that day.  I guess that may mean I am a woman that happens to be out in men's clothes, but I am still me!

I just love it when I am addressed and treated as a woman.  I love to hear my "real" (female) name.  I love it when a new necklace or something feminine related about me gets noticed.   Any guy that is left in me seems to be nowhere to be found when I am in these situations.  On these days, those good experiences make me crave to transition more quickly. 

Plus, that all goes a long way to counteracting some of the ridicule that occasionally happens.

Hugs,

Chrissy

Yes! Yes! Yes!

As I said in an earlier post in this thread, what you describe is exactly what I most hope for once I go full-time. Things will be so bad if I can't get positive social interactions with other women, but it'll be so awesome if I do. I hope I achieve what you have been able to.
