There is no activity that I do or look forward to doing as a woman that is significantly different from what I did as a man, with the exception of clothes shopping.  I do the same things as I always did, I just enjoy them more, being able to be myself.  Like many on this thread, I enjoy being able to express femininity as I go about my daily activities.  I enjoy my interactions with other people more, both men and women, because I am not trying to fake being male.

If you are MTF, or think you might be, or you have a gender that is female, and you are at any stage of transition, what do you like to do (or want to do) as a woman that you could not do (or did not like to do) as a man? 

Chrissy

Go anywhere with crowds, cameras, or mirrors, and still feel confident and relaxed without having to be obliterated to take my mind off of my surroundings.
At what point did my life go Looney Tunes? How did it happen? Who's to blame?... Batman, that's who. Batman! It's always been Batman! Ruining my life, spoiling my fun! >:-)

Well I not fully out yet, but being on HRT, my life has skyrocketed. The fog cleared and I'm happy. I've always try just to be me no matter how I'm presenting and like a previous post, I just want to leave the guy act behind.

Julie


Julie,

That sounds so nice.  No more pretending would be nice to eliminate!  I wish you much satisfaction and joy!

Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I feel precisely the same as you. HRT has given me great confidence in my transition journey and I wish when I go fulltime next year to cease acting.

Chrissy

For me it is to interact with women as a woman and to be treated and later perceived as a woman.

Also to buy and enjoy wearing the outfits and matching. As a man I never saw clothes as anything other than "uniform"

Pamela,

I liked what you said so much.  Thanks for sharing.  Best to you.

The irony of ironies! On Facebook recently discovered a new public group entitled "Pan Am Graduating Class Photos" and after extensive flipping thru volumes found myself here:

"facebook.com/groups/PAAGradClass/permalink/750723878427458/"
Class of September 15, 1985 - MIA Flight Ops Training Center.

If they had hired me as a woman in 1983 I would probably would have stayed in In-Flight Service but fate intervened, probably for the best considering 1991 "cease of operations". FA's did not get a very good deal with Delta.

And as a well known VicePresident of Flight Operations my father was the primary reason I forestalled transition in the first place  . . . with the rest now being internet history?

Here I am sitting and trying to think  Hairdresser can't be it, I go to a female hairdresser for the last 30+ years.
shopping can't be it either, I love to go cloth and shoe shopping, always loved it and always will. I have an entire walk in closet just filled with my stuff, and own at least 30 pairs of shoes.  I even like to go grocery shopping!

It may be that intersexual thing in me that allowed the girl peak out quite a few times?  I also like to sit and gossip!  I like to cook and bake (but only breads, all kinds of them), and I like gardening.

I think there is not much what I would do different once I am a woman.  Makeup is the only thing I could think about that would be new to me.

I really don't know whether being intersexual makes one to behave different?  I don't know any other transgender persons but I don't also know any other intersexual persons.  I have nobody to compare myself to.
I wish one could see that on the forehead of the person across of me! (as long as it would be invisible for Trump and his ilk)

As others have said, being comfortable in your skin and feeling authentic would be the real reward.  As far as activities that are considered the domain of women, I must confess a nice spa treatment would probably feel really self-indulgent.

I would like to get coiffed and primped and wear some sort of high end outfit to the Melbourne Cup.( or even the Darwin Cup).
I'd like to have a few drinks with the girls and play up a little bit.

...I have reached a point where being a woman is more normal to me than being a guy ever was.
...I specifically enjoy expressing femininity in my daily life. It is what makes me function happily. I enjoy the change with men, surprisingly enough, more than with women. I like the change in how I am perceived and how I act around them. It is like I feel comfortable around them for the first time ever.
   I also like dressing nicely.
...Truth be told, when you are a woman, you don't have to be embarrassed about caring that you look good.

I agree with all that you've written Monica.  Well said!   :)

Judi
But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

I was in a rather angry mood the mood swings are just wonderful with hormones

You might want to mention this to your doctor so that you can adjust your dosing.

Oh I'm on an extremely low-dose it's just I live with a complete idiot to be honest like no brains whatsoever and quite frankly it makes me angry I do not like stupid people. I generally get along with everybody will outside of this one person that's the one person just looking at them makes me very angry. Of course I am only on hormones for 6 maybe 7 months now so I am still new to the emotions and working on getting them in check.

Cute thought Devlyn!

Smiling back ladies!  I hope that your days are going well so far!   :)

Here is a little thing:  Drinking coffee from your coffee cup and you get to notice that a little lipstick is left on the cup after you sip.   :)    That sounds a little silly, I know.   

You have to touch up your lipstick afterwards perhaps, but that is enjoyable.  This is something that will become routine after a long while, I know, but for now...  :)

After two years of full-time life, I still get a kick out of seeing that pomegranate lipstick smudge.  It tells the world "This cup is mine!", and "I was here."

Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.
