I agree here with what's been said of late about what is REQUIRED. But I'll also freely admit that i do wear make-up and false tits and a skirt whenever I practically can because that's MY comfort zone for being comfortably female. I'm sure part of that is that i want to make an emphatic statement (I'm jeans and a t-shirt i'd simply look like a rather disreputable white-trash male) until and unless the physical alterations are complete.
But part of it is that I tend to be, or at least think, "girly girl"
Either way though, my main agreement is with the idea that framing RLE as "prove you can be a woman" is misleading at best in a world which doesn't read us as women (and if you do get read as a woman, you will have very little problem living as one in almost every case).
I have heard a few people note some sort of experience with "losing the male privilege" but I've not noted any such difference myself. The only thing i've found difficult AT ALL about living as a woman is those who don't accept that claim and make a point of their disagreement.
