Once I accepted myself as a MtF transexual and started spending more time as Jenny, (not full time yet), I began to feel more like a 'teenage girl', or at least what I think a teenage girl feels. I have subconciously become more giggly, cry more, play with my trinkets, bracelets, rings, etc., play with my hair more. I buy too many pairs of shoes. I talk to people about somewhat frivolous things, fashions, music, hair, self image .... I dance a lot. I am 52. I am told I have become 'bouncy'. It is my SO who says that I am acting like a teenage girl.
I talked to my therapist about this and she believes that it is a very common phenomenon, and quite natural, for people beginning the transition, or at the start of HRT. That all teenage girls go through a phase of learning who they are, what they are, and where they fit in the grand scheme of things.
Have any of you have similar feelings?
How long does it last?
What other feelings can I expect?
Does everybody who transitions feel like this young and old alike?
Anybody who crossdresses will undoubtedly experience a lot of these feelings, but I know that my feelings have increased in intensity since my days of just dressing up. There is more happening here.
Any thoughts?
Hugs
Jenny
