Okay, I know I am strange and always have been, but I am wondering just how strange I may be?
When I was in my 20's and had been studying martial arts for many years, when I realized that I could not remember ever having a bruise. I have been much more conscious of this since then. No matter what I've done, I have never had a bruise anywhere on my body. This along with my GID had led me to the conclusion (supported by suspicions of friends) that I mustn't be human, I must be some kind of alien. Okay, so I have known that it was unlikely that I was some kind of Venusian. But, the fact that I couldn't bruise, combined with my obvious inability to understand what it was like to be a 'man' even though my body was clearly one and my feeling of identifying more with the girls (though not accepted as one - because of the obvious 'male' body) made me wonder what the heck I was if I wasn't an alien.
Has anyone else experienced this? or do you know of any reason why I don't bruise?
I am also wondering if, after I'm on HRT for some time, I will start to bruise? I know that women experience changes in the texture or their skin. It thins out and becomes smoother and more sensitive along with the development of a subcutaneous fat layer. I also know that women are more susceptible to bruising than men. Just wondering if I will become more 'normal' with HRT or if I'm destined to remain an alien spy.
