I'm happily on my 9th month of hormone replacement therapy. Here are my observations:
Hair on my head has fully returned.
Body hair is disappearing.
I have boobs and men stare at them, as do I.
Skin is softer, smoother and gets injured easily.
Eyes are huge.
My sense of smell is insane.
I wear mascara.
I can spell mascara.
I get sleepy in the afternoon.
I cry during lame TV commercials, especially if there are dogs, babies, or returning soldiers.
I've lost some of my confidence.
I'm not an bastard any longer.
I've been called a hormonal bitch...Five times.
My sex drive is in neutral, unless I take progesterone, or have feelings for HIM.
I think about shopping, especially at Sephora.
Hate when I'm called sir.
Love when I'm called a F'ing female idiot when driving by other motorists.
Can now text and do my makeup while driving.
My sexuality has shifted from women to men.
I love to look at women for their clothing and figure.
I know what Rolling in the deep means and know how to find it on Ebay.
I laugh easily.
I get bored by guy talk, especially about sports and money.
I have a crush on my x GF's boyfriend.
I will not take crap from another woman--Cisgender or otherwise.
I dress up when I see my doctor, which is weird because we've been friends for 26 years.
I'm happy.
I'm a volunteer at a dog rescue.
Kids ask there parents in restaurants if I'm a man or woman. I tell them yes.
I don't care if guys stare at me.
I have female pheromones and guys will talk to me.
Women smile at me, unless guys are talking to me.
I'm losing male privilege and I miss it.
Laser hair removal works.
What about you?
girls smile at me a lot more. One girl that works in a coffee place that I've seen for a long time stared at me for a long time then finally smiled.
