Title: Progress! :D
Post by: ImSomething on May 07, 2017, 08:16:40 PM
So yesterday I went to my girlfriend's last prom with her and I got to go as Renée! I had been in the guest system as Renée, and I got to wear a dress and everything! I noticed a lot of differences between last night and other dances I have been to, especially that I was comfortable immediately, instead of after 45 minutes of trying to get comfortable. My mother seems to think that the dress almost had no effect on that but I think it did, even if just by facilitating it. The awkward way in which I dance finally felt right. The other thing that I noticed is it increased my dysphoria. My body at times just felt inauthentic and trapping. My voice very much contradicted the euphoria I felt to be me. So I definitely feel that HRT is in my future. So there are my 2 cents worth.  ;D

Cool Renée

  It sounds like you had a fun date and it was cool that you could go as yoursel. Well of course it was the dress! What do Moms know anyway, right?

  Hugs,

Wow, that is truly awesome. I'm very happy for you but at the same time a little envious.  This is something I have to deal with as a late transitioner.  I'll never go to prom, likely never stand up in a wedding as a bridesmaid nor be a bride myself. I'm so happy for you that you've come to a conclusion about your gender identity early enough to enjoy some of those experiences.
