It's all a part of the transition process, regardless of whether we are in full transition or settling in at some non-binary mid-point, we are changing and along with that some of the previous perceptions give way to new ones. I gave up my eye rolling some time back when it dawned on me how condescending it looked to others, then came the big jump when i acquiesced to spending an entire day at the mall with my S.O. and found that it could be fun and enjoyable after all. Most of our previous behavior is learned through binary association, only a small part of it is hormonally driven. Attitudes that were taken on previously that are no longer valid can be disposed of as we embrace new ones to live by.

Very very well said Auntie Shan. I used to hate to grocery shop (I always liked other shopping though), I used to rush in, grab a cart in a store where I knew where everything I wanted was, and made rounds picking up things as fast as possible. This began to change 5 years ago when I went full time, and now that I'm in full transition I take my time. And since I have I find I actually enjoy the experience. I also no longer get mad when the store moves things around. I find now that I forget less, and no longer need a grocery list. I also have met some nice people since I've slowed things down. I've really changed many other habits as well. And I'm really enjoying the experience.
