I want to be a single woman living in my own apartment and stable. I may dabble with dating, but I mostly would want to have time/money to do things like traveling. I really don't think I could date the way people my age do... I'm very conventional and pretty stuck in my ways. But I do like making friends, preferrably ones that are as outspoken and eccentric as me.

Sometimes it is just nice to pretty-up your hair, or slip into those fuzzy warm slippers.

Omg yes warm fuzzy slippers I love my monster slippers lol

If you can't accept yourself,  how can you expect others to accept you?

I did that already in guys mode.  My father always complained that I take more time in front of the mirror than my sister did!
And I always liked warm slippers, because I always had cold feet like women tend to have (but I was always part woman).

I really don't anticipate that I will change much.  I always liked to do flower arrangements, and I hope I will still like that when I am done with transition!

I like having conversations with women in ways that I have never or rarely had as a man.

It's just different, in a good way.

More than anything, I think I'd enjoy just socializing with other girls. The comfort and company of other women, plus the boost that increased socialization would give to my emerging femininity, are things I greatly desire.

I have almost only female friends, and have only 4 male friends, who are my friends because of shared interests (political activism mostly).  I am used pretty much to the same conversation with women what I have now, because I never came across to them as a man (at least not for he last 15 years or so)

Thanks for thoughts on this everyone.


Anyone else want to share out?

Hi Everyone

What do you like to do (or want to do) as a woman?

I never thought about what I like to do as women, or do as women (I will come back to this point a little later).  Well, I guess thinking about it in retrospect, there were two things that stand out like a sore thumb I guess for me now, before I changed my life around.

One was I loved growing my hair, I just did not know why at the time, maybe it was because  my mum always had long hair and I hated having my hair cut.  Even after changing my life around, I never thought about my long hair, although it helped me no end, without realizing why.  I do know now is because I have always been female.

Second was I liked wearing female clothes and again I did not know why at the time.  The same reasoning applies in this situation, I have always been female.

Okay there was one other small thing, now that I'm thinking about this particular issue.  I started to like or do was to go to a beauty parlour or salon.  This was really to get my legs waxed, for swimming, a clear coat of fingernail polish occassionally, nothing to feminine mind you and eventually my face waxed just before I turned my life around.  Why did I do this?  Yep, you guessed it, I have always been female.

Just to remind you I did not know that what I was doing at the time was related to me being a female.  I just liked doing those things without realizing why.

After I changed my life around, nothing changed. I still had my long hair and I was able to do more complex braids and hair styles, without anyone wondering why I would do that.  I also just went full blown makeup routine, little is more mantra and dressing for the appropriate situation, not underdressing or overdressing and of course beauty treatments once a week.  Then again why did I do this? Yep you guessed it again, I have always been female.

So in essence, I have always been doing the things I like as women without realizing that I like doing them.  Which brings me to the most important thing that I wanted and liked to do and still do as a women, that I alluded to earlier on in this post.

That was for a man to make love to me.  For me that was the final validation when it finally happened, again without realizing that made me complete as a women.

PS  Some thoughts for you Chrissy
@ChrissyRyan

I think I answered this thread in 2019! I want/like to do all the same things I liked/wanted to do when I presented as male. I had long hair, had my legs waxed, doted on my children/grandchildren, cooked, sewed, scuba dived, all the things I do now. My activity differences now are more driven by aging than transition.

Hugs,

Allie
