That it feels right in my mind. 
That people don't ask me to move heavy objects anymore (especially since I couldn't lift them before HRT, either).
That I get far more hugs now than I ever did before.
Being silly
and the one that is unfortunately still a bit far away for me at the moment, one of the things that I will like the most about being female will definetely be when I finally won't have that...thing...between my legs.  I just want it gone!

I share your feelings.  That time is getting closer...

I am having to think about this...

I suppose one thing about being born female I like is that my height is considered normal (I'm short, I'll admit it.) but I know that if I had been born how I see myself, then I would be very abnormal from any perspective, so height would barely factor in.

Another thing I like is...  This is really hard. 

Oh, my boobs are squishy and fun to poke and prod at.  I'm not terribly attached to them and would like them to be much, much smaller, but I have to admit that having squishy things on my chest to play with can be fun. 

I like that no one comes after me for my plushie collection (I'm an anime fan).

I honestly can't think about anything else I enjoy about being female.

I hate my propensity towards emotion (stupid hormones).  I hate being small and weak (compared to guys).  I hate having doors held for me, being called "sweetie, baby or honey" at work (I'm a telemarketer and the guys I call are FOREVER calling me this), "Chick flicks"...  I hate almost all of it. 

My sensitivity and perceptiveness.  I also like being intellectually superior to men.   >

1. Not being a w*nker
2. Knowing that i'm more intelligent than most men
3. Not thinking with the wrong head  >
4. Being independent and ambitious, and knowing what i want from life!
5. Using the power of being intuitive
6. Being able to articulate and express complex thoughts and feelings with the support and understanding of other women.
7. Being able to blame everything on hormones!
8. Not being the victim of machismo
9. Being a tomboy or sexy when i so desire

OMG!  ROFL....what a hoot!  .  I have to frame that phrase in gold and give it to you as a present after your SRS.  LOL 


tink

yeah, 10 points. quite witty *giggles*
CERTAINLY something i'm glad about.

Being able to be desirable or a queen bitch.
Summer wardrobes.
Long showers.
Able to daydream without being taken for retarded.
a clear head.
No more being forced to hang around zoo creatures.
No more mens loos *shudder*
Bewbs.
the leany over cleavage abuseing 'aw please?' routine.
helping friends when thier in emotional trouble and not feeling useless.
Drinking with girlfriends and slagging off men in general when one of our relationships goes south.
Chickflicks.
Denim miniskirts and footless 3/4 tights.... (win).
Being allowed to not drink beer, and not have my sexuality questioned (yuk).


bad bits:
Bewbs are like testicles on ones chest, only larger targets, and more bangable on things.
How long my hair takes to dry.
Hair in wind.
middleaged, overweight, ugly men who think thier Brad Pitt <-- i seem to attract these.
Sad stuff :*(
Being treated like an IDIOT when in a hardware place, garrage, or airsoft place... why are men apparently the only people allowed to ever hold technical knowlage of any kind?

I love flooring guys with my technical knowledge sometimes, I wasn't always a lady the regulars at the shooting club we belong to all know me, I walked in whipped out my H&K USP 40 and shot groups you could put your hand through, after that they all call me Annie Oakley, they are blown away with my mini skirts and shoulder holsters

Someday, ill pull off the shoulderholsters and miniskirts too (once i buy a miniskirt)

Clothes
shopping
makeup
long hair
no beard
nice smooth shiney lips.
less body hair
being pretty
feel more free & do not feel like i have to be strong & manley
feeling less anger and feeling whole.
Nicer shoes.
and everything that is pink & cute.

...

Simply... being... me!

My great intuition and being sensitive in recognizing my and other persons emotions (among other things), multi-tasking, getting certain privileges and having a certain female power (I notice how men react different on me then they do on men), being called attractive, having a smooth skin, people feel very much at ease around me, thinking about others first then about me (which is the other way around for when I am more to the masculine side), ....eh....eh.....  ah yeah, I sing better when I am more to the feminine side.. otherwise my voice tends to crack up   

Hi All
1. I love being me
2. I can make mistakes and there is usually someone willing to help
3  I love the attention I get form the guys
4. I like being able to wear pretty things
5. I like being able to change my looks with a little make-up
6. I really love having boobs(very important to me)
7. I like having doors oppened for me, but I do not expect it
8. It is a riot to watch how guys will sneak around to watch you. When I grocery shop I will see the same guy in every isle trying to be inconspicous, but checking me out.
9. I can be in bad moods and everyone thinks, Oh it is just that time of the month
10. Most important I have made so many friends here on Susans by being what I am, and for that I am very gratefull. My very close friends here know who they are, and I am so blessed to have them

Hmm... I never was female, so I wouldn't know. I'm a guy. However, I do things now the same way I did them when I was supposedly a chick. So... I don't know.

I love women. I love everything about them. Particularly things pertaining to my wife. Anywho.

Nothing..... I hate being trapped in a womans body when I feel so much of a man inside..........

Really the main thing is the community.  My relationships with other females are a lot more rewarding than the relationships I had with men.  Not because of anything that men did I guess, but I just finally have friends I understand and who understand me.  So I guess that's the one thing that has really stood out to me that I've liked the most.

  Nero,

Thanks for asking this question -- your list & the replies
remind me of many things I may have not appreciated
as much as I could!

Since I live most of my public life in the male role, I am
amazed every time in the female role that I almost always
feel more self-confident than in the male.  The first time
I was dressed in the presence of other M2F's, I found
myself immediately more outgoing and able to play a
supportive role for those who seemed to be less confi-
dent.  This was at a group meeting, and as soon as I
stepped out of the changing room, I could have been
singing the words of John Denver (but with female pro-
nouns and at the age of 40), "He was born in the summer
of his twenty-second year, comin' home to a place he'd
never been before."  And even tho I had planned to
change clothes again before leaving, I was feeling so
good that I knew that changing would make me de-
pressed, so I drove home en femme -- and what a
w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l feeling that was (after I kicked off
my heels so I could drive safely, that is)!!!

Thanks to all,

Sandra

I like being happy.... and free from depression and jealousy.

Buffy

My wardrobe is a whole lot cuter than before

High-heels instead of steel-toe boots

soft and pretty instead of rugged and handsome

being able to play *helpless* and having men help me more so than if I were a guy in the same situation

Having inner peace and harmony in my life instead of a nagging feeling of something not being right

Wow, I like almost everything about being female.  Here's a few things that stand out in my mind.

Things I love:
The clothes.
People seeing me as attractive for once.
Most of my body (not the genitalia yet).
Being able to be vulnerable.
People I do not know telling me that I'm beautiful.
Not being assumed guilty or malicious.
Being called ma'am, whether in person or on the phone.
Guys flirting with me.
Having female friends or even just women who feel comfortable talking to me because I'm female.
Using the correct restroom for once.
Having the power to persuade people who don't want to let down a female.
Having guys help me carry things.
Having guys hold open doors or give up their seats for me.
Not feeling horney ALL the time.
Having less hair.
Having breasts!!!
Being able to just talk with people.
Being able to just be one of the girls.
Just being female.

Things I don't like so much:
Wearing bras with straps that fall off your shoulders.
Having thighs that rub together when I walk with bare legs in a skirt.
Having to get up early because getting ready takes SO long in the morning (I don't mind the time it takes, just the getting up early part).
Lower metabolism.
Fear of being attacked.
