"I've had two episodes where I look down at my hands as I'm driving and for an instant they seem much more muscular and sinewy than they actually are, and are covered with fur. It lasts a second or two, and I am able to keep control driving, but it startles me and horrifies me.
"My body looks normal when I can get a good look at it. My therapist tonight called it my 'Incredible Hulk' illusion, and that is a good name for it. It feels as horrifying, as if I were becoming the Incredible Hulk. I have no intentions of detransitioning – I am very happy with having a more feminine body, and everyone in my life has been accepting of my transition.
