Today I had an experience that caught me totally by surprise. A friend, a REALLY GOOD friend made me cry today by offering to help me out after some upcoming surgeries regardless of anything else.
I couldn't even reply to the text message I was crying so much. This is a new phenomenon in my life (16 months on E).
I've cried for joy once. It was after seeing a total solar eclipse with my boyfriend and hearing hundreds of people clapping and cheering. It was so beautiful.

I have cried for joy on several occasions since I started HRT. Before I started this journey that never happened.
I have no issues with crying at any time. I've never had emotions before and I love the feeling
Yes. This started around 6 month on HRT and got really int naw after 12.
Most recent: my turn almost 2 year baby girl made up a cute word for her little light up bunny. And she said it in such a cute way that I broke down in tears and had to stop reading her bed time story. She is so cute and watching her I do sob a lot due to all the joy she brings ❤️❤️❤️
I haven't had the pleasure of that cry for joy yet. I've cried a few sad tears, but I'm a little strange and it is really hard for me to cry even when I've on HRT. :(
My first cry of joy was over
The realization that pretty was an emotion. And all I had done was paint my nails.
Strange thing is I've done them in the past years ago and it never affected
Me
Yes when I finally freed myself from decades of hiding. The feeling was of immense relief.
Yes and it was before HRT.
I've cried watching movies when the underdog gets what they deserve or the boy and girl find each other. I love Hallmark movies which I've always kept it on the QT because I'll tear up.
And on a few occasions when I've been recognized as a Marine and the Marines' Hymn is being played - But Don't show emotions :)
I have always been able to cry tears of joy (and sadness). It was one of the things that helped me know I was wired different from the other boys/men that I knew.
I cried just the other day upon reading an article that the head of the Woman's Retreat I attended last year wrote about her experience in getting to know me. Reading it made me realize just how profound an impact I am apparently having on those who come into contact with me.

Cool Jess on paragraph one - it validates me, lol (along with my nose :)).
Awesome on paragraph two - your willingness to share, be accessible speaks volumes on your character and humanity!!!
Actually happened today on twitter of all places.
I was feeling down and ugly and this wonderful trans woman basically said that I am amazing and that a ton of cis women would love to look like me and what really set me off was that she sees me as an inspiration for the younger trans people.
Holy hell I had to sprint to the toilets to weep as "guys don't cry" façade I must keep up at work
Just happened! I was reading a PM from
@MeTony and tears started streaming down my face. I'm such a girl!

I'll have to get on twitter to help me show more emotions. LOL
Katie, really I love your photo and you are not ugly. Plus coming out and living your life as the real you shows that you are an amazing young women.

No.
I mean having someone close to you collapse in front of you and then turn out to be not dead ought to make that happen if it's ever going to. But I was more just internally relieved.
I guess I'm just dead inside. :}
