In my case the did.
Some of course are age related like motorbiking and windsurfing.
Yet HiFi, vinyl playback (turn tables, cartridges, tonearms, et al), woodworking, driving butch pickup trucks, and so on, went all by the way side.

Less need to prove self to be a *real* man?

Cold be, or?

I have found I am now more likely to read novels by women writers than men, and have lost interest in historical novels to a large extent. I am still interested in SF and fantasy, but prefer women's works.

Musically my tastes have changed a lot, I pretty much am only listening to female artists, rather than a mixture of male and female.
I am still playing the same music though, regardless of the artist, although I have gone off Dobro and slide guitar a bit and have picked up the 12-string guitar again after many years break.

I still like fishing, and would still like to get back to ice skating when I move closer to a rink.
I still like motorcycling, although my preferred bike style has shifted from custom bikes and cruisers to scooters and supersports bikes. I'm too old to stop now!! I also feel an urge to sail, not having done any in the last 10 years at least.

I still follow Rugby League, but have started to follow women's sports such as netball on TV. Now have no interest in Aussie Rules or men's soccer. 

Once I relocate in a few weeks I would like to get a garden going too, with more emphasis on flowers than veg and trees than previously.

That's all I can think of for now.    Karen.

yip mine did

I used to be a heavy video gamer even to the point i was one of the top 20 of a online game, Now i dont even tough games. I find when socializing i literally dodge boys weird but its instinct. I began to make little hats for my cats and weird little thing like that. I cant listen to mucic anymore nothing interests me. I stopped liking so much but for everything i dont like anymore i found something better so yea i have changed.


EDIT: but i think its mainly because i have stopped the hobbies i did to fit in

m sorry, what is RLE? (real life experience)?

RLE = living 24/7 full time in the gender of choice, female for us MtFs.
It's specified for a minimum of of year according to WAPTH (Benjamin Guidelines/rules) before any "letter" maybe issued.

Not at all, I still hate football and sport! and I still hate all male persuits just like I did before!

Nope. I'm way more into make-up and clothes (more out of necessity)... but that's a bout it. Still into all the same hobbies and interests as before. 

I'm not full time yet
But only change is I wake up from lethargy and sitting at computer for no reason and go back to hobbies which I had as a child > sewing, painting ...

I hope not, I mean I love my hobbies and interests. I don't do them to appear masculine, though I wouldn't say they're feminine hobbies either.

Plus my main hobby; music is what I hope to be doing in the future for a life, be it writing/composing, reviews, live mixing, working in a studio, music to TV, etc. If I was to just stop come HRT/RLE that'd be a big chunk of time wasted in Uni. D:

But then apart from music my only other real hobby is watching anime/reading manga and for those I really only enjoy josei/shojo ones anyway but the occasional seinen is okay.

Though I can see myself getting into fashion more, since I love looking through places like H&M and Urban Outfitters but then it's like "Can't buy anything. ;____;".

How about some real butch stuff, that "we" used maybe for what the psych called "overcompensation"
- pumping iron (gym)
- going around the race track (hot motorbike... Dukes, Kavas, etc)
- solid wood woodwork (as I did) by pushing heavy hand tools, hand planes, saws, heavy lifting
- windsurfing needing a LOT of upper body strength, sail rigging, rig carrying, getting wiped out
- golf?

Maybe all mentioned is done by some GGs as well, but not exactly the "call" when first going on HRT, through menopause and puberty all at once?

- heavy classical music, opera, etc. etc.

I found my taste in music changed and so did my taste in reading - BIG TIME!
Screw philosophy and bring out some entertaining, funny, smart and emotional chick-lit.

Well, just some of what I noticed - also now LOVE shopping for nice cloths, shoes, hand bags, hair dresser, beauty parlour - good golly, all new hobbies? Or what?

I wouldn't really call listening to classical music a masculine thing. There are some amazingly beautiful pieces especially from the romantic period. Rachmaninoff. <3

Deep things aren't reserved for guys only! I'm a thinker too!

Haha well i think one big thing was mannerisms of speech i mean i used to swear like a lot. And it just stopped i feel very foolish when i do swear now to.

Nurse With Wound, I said HEAVY. What you mentioned I do like too.

Now lets sit through Wagner's "Nibelungen", and those hecktic Stravinsky items (ballets), add a touch of Bartok and some of those "modern" unpronounceable Russian, then sprinkle with more modern US composers... Is what I'm thinking when I say HEAVY.

I still do think, oh yes, but must say I do feel a lot more. And just doing all this "thinking" for the fun of it (as I used to)... naah, life has enough drama no need to add any more.

Just my hormones speaking, hey :-)

My tastes have changed quite a bit.

I don't get anything out of things that go fast or any adrenaline-producing activities like I used to, so things have changed or been dropped. This includes action oriented video games like first person shooters (though I still like Quake III Arena! Old school!), my driving style has calmed down a lot, I have a lot more patience. And I like shopping a lot more, not sure if that has to do with it or not.

I watch movies that I haven't seen since before I started transition, and I am aware that I now have a completely different reaction to the characters' interactions.

I constantly find some little thing that has shifted around over the last few years.. Part of it I attribute to low testosterone, but Estrogen will change your brain around a bit. For me, it's been wonderful, because my brain has always been at odds with my body, and that includes the testosterone poisoning... I did not handle T well at all...

I don't feel my core interests have changed a lot.  At one point early on I was trying to "force" feminine hobbies and reading women's magazines etc on myself but quickly saw this was just silly. Sorry but I hate most woman specific mags... booring! But I am NOT going to stop riding motorcycles and take up knitting I have given up a few things that might cause me to break a nail tho lol

I think some people feel they shouldn't do something like repair their lawnmower etc because that's not something a woman would usually do. I'm not going to try to force myself into some stereotype of a woman, I'm finally free to be Stephe and will just be myself If that means I enjoy making jewelery some nights or doing some home remodeling and reading popular mechanics another, it just does..

Nope.  I still like and do pretty much the same things I did before.  I still love to golf.  I still love to sail.  I still do woodworking (in fact more now, but probably because I have more time.)  I still enjoy designing and remodeling homes.  And I am still attracted to women.

So far nothing has changed as much as i figured it would I work on computers all day long so when i get home my relaxation is to play with my cars(74 vette/66 mustang) been a hobby since i was 16 and that has not changed at all.

my interests really haven't changed at all. Im trying to think of some but there really isn't any. The things I loved to do before my transition are the same after.

1. Love video games
2. Love hanging out at Barnes and Noble for a couple hours with a coffee and a good book
3. Love eating out at places with my friends
4. Still involved in social justices and activism
5. Still pursuing teaching and ministry
6. Love fishing
7. Love surfing.

Hmm, well I'm not sure it was exactly a hobby, but I used to spend a lot of time writing cheats/hacks for games. I'm not sure if I'm less interested now because I have less time, because I feel less need to stroke my ego, or because I value other things more, like spending time with family. On the flip side, I've never wanted to spend more time with my friends shopping! Oh and snowboarding, but that's always been #1. Curse this season, where is my snow? Make it snow!!!

  My original stuff, no.  Astronomy, gardening, electronic tinkering, photography and hiking, all still there.  I got maintenance at the cabin tomorrow with the aunts, with them supervising of course.  Beautiful scenery there.  But there is more of the "How would I look in that?" kind of thing now.
