Well, hon, no two people are alike or react the same way to any given similar stimulus. I can only say that for me, when I embraced she who resided within, it was a very profound change that included my thoughts and feelings, an experience very similar in intensity to when I put the cork back on the bottle and started to breath the same air of reality as everyone else around me was. it was a very profound spiritual experience.
Actually I would be quite ready to admit that the results of one changing the life style they know for one they have no idea of what it is going to be like can be frightening enough, especially for what they only know is preconceived. Something within their very inner-selves pushes them relentlessly forward. GID? Maybe it's genetic? A primitive instinct? Whichever, it drives us to where we need to be. That is my belief, that one feels compelled, that it is something they had to do, come hell or high water. Every individual has his/her own unique perception of what transitioning means to them.
