When Was the Last Time You Felt This Way?

Yes, that is a wonderful depiction of what transition has felt like to me too!

When Was the Last Time You Felt This Way?

Maybe after I was laid off from my last job  

I could imagine if I fully transitioned I would feel that way, but won't know if I never try.

That's a great picture, and really captures the experience, doesn't it?

I recently felt this way again when my sex life, after a fallow period lasting several years, suddenly came back to life.    I mean, I was completely surprised by this turn of events, and completely rejuvenated, too.

I felt it most strongly last Thanksgiving. The day I came out of the closet and started living as a woman full time.
Since then that feeling has accompanied me like a fellow traveler sometimes subtly, sometimes more strongly, but always there, as I continue to experience so many new firsts and become more comfortable in my public/social gender presentation.

It's so good to know other women are feeling the same thing.  It's important for me to remember. When things get difficult. And as a counter argument that not all of us hold the view that "nobody would ever want to be trans."

Not as happy as I am! 

I am now officially a cougar. 

I love this image so much - I think I'm still stuck on stage two, unfortunately!

You'll get there. It took me 57 years!

Yes that's more or less where I am too. Most of my friends know about me and part of my family too but I have to hide at work ATM. Makes for an interesting rollercoaster.

Besides that, even though I am not usually sirred and I seem to mostly pass, it's all within our heads and I don't really feel I pass or my voice is acceptable. Looks that myself is keeping me from progressing in that regard.
