I like that I'm sleeping way better, and that all my friends keep pointing out that I seem much happier now

Anna, I'm not into other women sexually, cis or trans, but you are a beautiful girl, and you do indeed, look happy.

What don't I like, I can't think of anything, other than the fact that I'm not nearly as strong as I used to be, partly because of the HRT, and almost certainly because since I'm so much happier I'm much less aggressive in my thinking, and my actions would be sure to follow if threatened. I'd have rarely been intimidated anywhere by anyone, not that I was so tough, but I'd been in bad places and seen terrible things and rarely got frightened. Now I take the precautions any other woman does, park close to where I'm going, in the light, carry my keys like a weapon, etc.

The best things: I'm finally me. I'm looking like a woman, with growing  B cups, I can express my true feelings on anything. I can show my love of and sexual desire for men, (one man and no longer feel dirty or wrong at all about wanting to be made love to and fallen in love with my man. I can wear what I want. I can look how I want to under the circumstances of my age. I can wear all the feminine things I was prevented from doing from four years old on. I no longer have to say or think: Someday i'll live in reality as a woman. I am and have been for 27 mostly wonderful months. Makeup, shoes, boots, dresses, skirts, lingerie, pretty bras and purses. If it wasn't 2:12 am I'd think of more, but it's good for now. Hugs, Mira

My reply is too simple, so I didn't post till now. 

I'm no longer hiding who I've been my entire life. 

Right now I like my nipples, tickling them with fingernails is just so cool. They are really hard.

I just like finally getting to be the me that I always wanted to project to the world.  And cute boots.

Love it! 😀

I guess for me a big focus was on my body - seeing my face change was huge, body shape, breasts, skin change, genital change - all of this was very much starting to fit into how I perceived myself and my body as it should be. Another huge focus was on not having to hide behind a facade anymore, to be free in my expressions and what I do and act like. That was a rather quick and irreversible liberation and happened before my outing even. The attire - clothes, nail colors and such, that was all more of a fun thing, I felt totally like a teenage girl who starts to play with these things to see how it looks like, comparing myself to other women and girls and to a small degree experimenting with what happens to guys or lesbian women when applying these things.
But the main thing was that I finally came closer to being myself in how I act, speak, feel and see my body.

I just like being able to be true to my nature and the acceptance I get from other women. I have always been one of the girls on the inside and now I'm one on the outside.

Being treated as a woman and not a man....its the best theres nothing that compares to that. Makes me feel so normal, not like the freak that I felt I was before transition.

And freedom of personal expression via fashion is awesome, I love it!

I'm not really there yet, but I think the biggest thing will be being able to look in the mirror and feel like I have the correct face. At least after FFS.

That and breasts. Those are pretty cool.

I love it all. Soft smooth skin, healthy hair, breasts, vagina, hips, skirts, dresses, clothes, jewelry, makeup, gorgeous shoes, feeling free to be me, feminine drinks at the bar, girl talk, girl's nights out, intimacy with another woman, being referred to as "ma'am" in public, being treated like a woman in public, being called "daughter" "sister" "girlfriend" or "lady" ("ladies", if I'm in a group of women), changing in the women's locker room, using the women's bathroom, getting attention from men (and women), being capable of strong emotions, it being socially-acceptable to revel in and express those emotions, my feminine name and identification, my feminine home decor and accessories, flowers, bathing in feminine-scented oils/salts/soaps/etc, being a mom to my two kids, and loving the skin I'm in, from the inside and in the mirror. Every day is a gift!! 🙂

I don't have to wear a tie.

Amen sister!!!!
So well said and wish I hada a vagina (will soon ) and kids to be a mommy to, but a big "I know what you mean" to all the rest. Very awesome 🙂

I just Love the way men look at me and when they hustle to open a door for me. Hmmmm. Chivalry isn't dead.

That's a tough question. I love everything about being female...  If I had to choose, given the many years of not being or feeling as a woman ( only knowing I am ), I would say that feeling that way is my favourite thing about being a woman. The kind, warm and beautiful feeling inside of being the right way, being and feeling the way I always should have. Just magical!

What do I like about being a woman?

BEING MOODY AS S**T! *flies around frantically*

No, wait, not really. But hey, womanhood.

Or rather, perhaps just puberty pt. 2. We'll see...

Hmmmm... lemme think.


The orgasm. Yeah, pretty much the orgasm.

Everything else kinda fades into the background with enough time but there is no ignoring the big O. It's friggin awesome. (Yes, pre-op, cupcakes.)
