I figured I'd post this as I find this quite interesting. I have just started this journey several months back and am still a ways off from HRT, but since I started excepting myself and who I am, there are little changes I am seeing in myself which seem to be subconscious. For example my walk is different along with the way I sit. My overall mannerisms have changed also. Now here are some of the stranger ones... I have always slept in the buff, but lately I feel the need to wear a long t-shirt to bed. Not to mention sitting when I pee... I don't have to, but I do...

I find it exciting and very interesting how my mind is changing once I finally allowed myself to let the feminine part of me out. personally I find it petty darn cool to say the least. Anyway, just thought I'd share...

Same here! I think it is the acceptance factor breaking down our "male" act. We are free to express what was repressed so I feel it is just the true us coming out. Amazing how much energy and thought went into acting something we are not. Very fatiguing!

The mental barrier is one the things that hrt can only do limited results i believe .Its like field of dreams but in your head .Build it and she will come .Shaving /finger nail polish/hair /bra and maybe just relax and enjoy .. About the setting down to do the duty .Me too just feels natural and hey girls do that too .. have great sunday .AKA Sara

Glad you are progressing well.

As yoû accept yourself and free the girl inside, it seems perception on almost everything is different, more clear, and like seeing things with a new set of eyes.

Wonderful feelng isn't it

I felt the exact same way after I came to accept myself. The biggest thing for me was improvement of my overall mood. I've been told by many of my friends and family that I seem much more happy, contempt, and relaxed. Inner peace is something everyone should experience and I'm happy to see that you are on that path!

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement. And yes it seems every day I am feeling much more relaxed and comfortable. I know this is a long journey and there will be ups and downs, but just being able to not feel like I am stuffing crap in anymore has been a big relief.
