It freaked out a female partner I once had.She felt I was laughing about her but it was not that. I was told that the more often it happened , the less it will be like that. The giggling part I mean. Lets see.

I'm giggling uncontrolably now, so when I'm post op it'll be maniacal laughter?    But really, surgery is still a year off.  Ummm, having it get better would be incredible.

Yeah probably.
I sometimes really do laugh. Its - odd. I dont know why - happiness, joy - about the good feelings? Maybe the feeling of being "right" in the genital area is playing a role. I think it does - for me there is a feeling of gratefulness and joy about having a vulva involved in experiencing sexuality.

Oh and yes - the G-spot is really something.

There are so many things its hard to list. but I guess I'll list the one most prevalent and meaningful (to me anyway)

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

after the surgery for the first time ever I slept more soundly than I ever have , seems the weight that was lifted finally allowed me to relax and be fully comfortable. my friend took notice about this and my happiness as well as my mother which brings me to the next reason.
         My mother finally accepted me as her daughter, and came to terms and an understanding of my pain, thus finally bring us together. which I had feared that she may have never 100% accepted or understood.

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!

truly its hard to explain this but yes!!!!!

my breasts, oh so simple but they define me so much, along with them is the soft delicate skin as well.

having a normal life now, without feeling like an outsider or like I didn't belong.

and since I'm post-op sex is so much fantastic its ridiculous

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.)

seriously as the days go by I seems like its getting better and better and never felt so wonderful and right in my life

and so many more but these are more to ones

One thing I really like about being a woman, is the mother-daughter and sister-sister bonding. Recently I've been emailing one of my sisters, and it's been so great to talk about things and get stuff off our chests. She's very supportive and enthusiastic about having me as her lil sister. I'm so grateful to have her and her son in my life. Right now the family that I talk to is just them and my parents, but I think that's all I need. My other sister is supportive, but she can be two-faced, and her husband doesn't like me, so I'm wary of even being near them. Then my brothers are just, whatever. I don't talk to them. But even having one sibling on my side that I can talk to about things is great.

And both my parents are supportive, but I'm not very close with my dad. My mom however, has been amazingly supportive. Like, it's blown me away just how okay she is with everything. I even asked her if any of this was weirding her out but she just said she's more concerned with giving me good advice and that if anyone was weirded out it might be my dad lol. We had some bonding time today, and while I was leery of that kinda stuff before transitioning, I'm so looking forward to it now. She's going to go shoe and makeup shopping with me sometime, and she's going to teach me how to crochet, sew (at least a lil), and bake these great cookies that she makes. I'll be moving across the country in August, so I'm trying to cram in as much as I can before I go. She even let me try on one of her bras! I got some new panties today, and we ended up talking about measurements (I have 42" hips and a 42A bra-size right now). Then she comes out with a 40B bra that doesn't fit her anymore, and wanted to see how the band size was on me. I only half-filled the cups. xD I'm like "Way to make me feel self conscious mom!" And said something about growing into it or something. My dad walks by, probably not knowing what we're talking about, and says "you'll get there kiddo!". My mom and I just looked at each other and tried not to laugh. It's really nice being able to talk to her about stuff, and bond with her. I've always been able to talk to her about stuff, but not like this. I'm just so grateful.

Also, when I tried on the bra and panties (which happened to match), I looked in the mirror bracing for the worst. For some reason I expected to see a guy wearing women's underwear, but I didn't. I saw a woman, in her underwear, who just needs some work..

that's way so beautiful your mothers like that, that's really a great story

I would say, the self confidence.

Funny you mention that Ashey as I've been bonding with my mother recently. We used to never get along, but she treats me different now. She buys me clothes too, and we are always borrowing shoes and clothes. Now I do her make-up in the morning sometimes too

These little things have brought us closer and I'm so thankful for that.

BTW I think if you pass in your panties then you're doing just fine! 

I think it would be so beautiful to have a mother daughter bond. My mother sadly died when I was very  young, I remember her caring for my injuries. She knew I had a problem with the clothes I was supposed to wear. It would of been such a beautiful experience if she could of taught me how to be a woman.

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

Whoops, I forgot to read the updates on this thread since I initially posted in it.  Thank you, Miranda!

Hopefully I'll get to experience this feeling of being totally in the right body. I've thought about this for so long. I've imagined it for so long. It makes me happy to read these experiences. I'd be in total euphoria the moment I woke up in the hospital. It really would be that dream come to. I can't change my past ,it is what it is , but It truly has been a curse to live with the body I have. I know everyone here feels the same and it's some what comforting to know we're in the same boat.

Kia Ora,

Re: what do you like the most about being a woman ?

Having no longer to think about 'becoming' one 

Metta Zenda

ditto

I'm only 1 month into transition but a big thing for me is to be able to look in a mirror and not just not dislike what I see,  but rather actually like who I am and look forward the possibilities of what I will look like in the future.

I'm actually feeling like more of a woman each day. I've been on HRT for a year and each day brings mental glimpses of my soul to the point of tears, Oh God ! I only wished it hadn't taken a lifetime to get here.

I would have to say the total package.

Physically it's not just one thing  but if I had to pick it would be soft skin.
