Title: How long did it take to really start feeling like a complete woman.
Post by: michelleh on February 22, 2016, 09:53:11 PM
I have only been transitioning since middle of summer 2015. I have noticed a major shift in my psyche. I never had any idea how much I love the female in me. She is still finding expression in my transition. I am still looking forward to the day I feel a complete woman. I have no idea what this may be. What will fall away and part stays in this transition.

Much Love and Kisses,
Michelle❤️❤️💋 :)

I don't know the answer to your question about how long it takes to feel "complete."  I figure that varies a lot from person to person.  But the important thing is this: Despite the hardships and inconveniences of transition, there comes a point when each new day is a little better and a little easier than the one before.  When that happens you really know you're on the right track.

I choose voice, my body, especially my stomach bothers me too, but I still hope that hormones and shifting fat will help/fix that issue, no medication will fix my voice and despite a moderate amount of practice I dont feel that it has improved much at all even after 8 or so months full time.

One part of me hates it with a vengance and has wanted me to hurt myself over it, another more rational part of me knows that my voice even with the little I can do for it is not as bad as I usually see it, generally more androgenous than masculine or feminine.

so ya i worry about my voice and my weight and a few other general body issues, mannerisims, body language, and outing myself dont bother me, I outed myself to everyone in short order and I have come to accept that women are so diffrent that how I walk or gesture just is not that important.

Well I never felt complete as a male but Oretty much from the moment I started living full time as a woman then I felt complete as a woman. Before that, all the switching back and forth was messing with my mind.

Q: - How long did it take to really start feeling like a complete woman?

Hello everyone, 9 months HRT, 2 months RLE and SRS.  Did not feel 'like a complete woman' until SRS.

Thank you,
Anne
