I agree with the other comments posted by the contributing members on this thread....
.... and yes indeed my "temperature preference" has changed significantly now that
I am full time in my transition journey.
I tend to feel the "cold" much more now.
I grew up in Eastern Montana and I was quite adapted to cold temperatures, however
there is a lot more longer duration cold where I live now.
Living here in Alaska in the winter time I keep bundled up with a a wide collection
of hats, gloves, wool socks, boots, coast and warm jackets... and usually wear many layers
under my coats and sweatshirts.
I feel the cold on my hands and feet the most.
Women's clothes are generally tighter fitting than men's garments so there is not as
much "dead" air-insulating-space between the fabric and my skin that would help to keep
the cold off of my skin... in particular, skinny jeans and leggings can be an issue in bitter cold
weather. Also, no body hair eliminates that feature of keeping my body warm.
I am very prepared to stay warm in spite of the Alaskan winter weather.... and do know that
I really enjoy the wintertime here, I just have to dress appropriately.
HUGS,
Danielle
