What amazes me is how we're all so different. I mean, that's a good thing.

Does having a man's butt come with the hormones or surgery? That's another thing that would make me happy is not having a woman's butt.

It comes from testosterone redistributing fat from the lower body to a more male fat distribution around the belly. Of course, being physically in shape is the big factor. I have I would say the most dysphoria around my lower body so I can't wait for that to change. The sinlge best exercise for a man butt in my opinion is the deadlift in all its variations.

Hormones redistribute fat, but how much and to where depends on the person. That will effect what you butt looks like. Mind you, so does exercise. A lot of squat lifts and you get a really nice lifters butt.

Thank you. Bless you, Thomas.

I look forward to being 100% happy in my own skin. Being known as Emma and not having to worry about going on a kayak trip down the river in a bikini top and shorty shorts

I look forward to SRS since it will improve the selection of outfits I can use and make me happier with what I look like naked. As for the other things I am more or less living the life I wanted to, I have a job where I socialize with the other women as a peer and I am mostly stealth and I have a wonderful girlfriend who accepts and loves me no matter what the current state of my body is.

As weird as it sounds, manscaping, I want to grow a beard and chest hair and cut it into fancy shapes.

Yes, I've always thought it looked hard for men to keep their beards trimmed just right.

Just being a woman....

I just wanted the bees to go away.  And they did.

FWIW, "The bees" is a term I used to describe life before transition.  It was like trying to everyday things, or anything for that matter, while trying to swat away a swarm of bees and not get stung.

I simply look forward to enjoying daily life. When I get to a point when I look and feel like myself 24/7 and other people generally perceive me as such, I'd enjoy every mundane thing feasible. I won't take anything for granted; simply being referred to by my actual name will never cease to amaze me.

Surgery is the last part of my transition so I'll just list what I'm looking forward to when im post op.

let's see in no particular order
- swimming in a bikini, sucks that I have a bikini bod but can't really wear any yet 
- actually having a sex life
- being able to enjoy showers/bathes and not loathe them anymore
- not having to think twice about what my outfit is due to my downstairs
- wearing dresses/skirts without undies (would help a ton with preventing yeast infections)

adding on to the list

- going to events & traveling by myself with newfound confidence and security post surgery
- going to a nudist beach
- actually getting a gym membership
- being able to dance freely with other people without silly fears plaguing my mind
- getting back into sports and joining teams to compete

I don't know how many of these things I'll actually ever experience, but:

* Having people look at me and having them not see a man.
* Being accepted by women as a woman.
* People (esp. women) being more okay with physical contact with me.  I'm by nature physically affectionate and really need (gentle) physical contact.  I hate that being seen as a man means touching is seen as a sexual advance.

I don't know if this counts as "looking forward," but I'm wondering whether, if and when nobody sees me as a man, I'll feel more comfortable with men and (some kinds of) masculinity.  I think at this point, I'm still pretty traumatized by having had masculinity shoved down my throat my whole life, so seeing people be masculine, even in the non-toxic way, is kind of triggering.

I look forward to just being one person, a nice attractive hetrosexual woman. Dating new men & enjoying some good clean hot sex would be great to enjoy. I've always enjoyed men but had to apologize for not having a complete body normal body to so many very nice men......That would be great to never have to apologize again for anything.

Ive only one wish: Get healthy.

Seeing someone posting their good experience of life after transition inspired me to ask this question.

What are some of the main things you look forward to after transition and living your life as your true gender?

I look forward as being taken more seriously and respected as a male. I look forward to someday to having more physical strength and body building to help that along. Work a job as a male instead of a female and male bonding, as well as having an emotional attachment to my body I don't have as a female and sure I'll have as a male.

I can't wait to go outside and swim after top surgery
I can't wait to meet someone and them see me as a guy without question and treat me the same as other men
without assumptions or judgment.
I can't wait to have the feeling that i'm comfortable, i wonder what it feels like to be comfortable to a degree
and i can't to experience that because the closest iv'e gotten was the day i walked outside in male clothing and packed. So i think i can't wait to see myself as myself basically.
And i hope that i'm making the right choice and it'll help me out

After becoming full time I look forward to improve my very poor social life. Hopefully others will increase their efforts in socialising with me

After SRS I look forward to recover any kind of sexual life.

Looking at a different face in the mirror. My dysphoria is centered around my face.

Hopefully aspiring eunuchs such as myself likewise qualify for this question of yours.

Anyway, though, in addition to becoming a (literal) eunuch, I myself am most looking forward to having a sufficiently nice body and a sufficiently nice face for me to wear female clothes such as skirts, short shorts, knee socks, knee boots, and bikinis. Indeed, I hope that I will be able to rock a bikini body as well as many women can!
