It is good to be active.
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've been feeling very happy and content for the last few weeks. However, I started feeling discontent with the changes hrt has done for me. I'm curious if the discontentedness I'm feeling is envy and dysphoria manifesting itself differently than it usually does. I haven't experienced any envy and dysphoria since the fall.

Just see what happens over this year.  Somethings can take time, more than what one may like.

What changes are you discontent with Alana?

My face has softened, and had a lot of lower body changes, but it feels like I look exactly the same as I did before.

Alana you have only been on HRT since December according to your footnote. Changes take years, don't get disheartened!

Changes to your appearance can be very subtle. You will always look like you but changes are in things like fat dpeosits in the cheeks, your eyes change subtly, features soften and after about 3-4 years you might expect some fat redistribution. Not so subtle is breast development and that can be rapid though again takes several years to complete it's journey. Of course, I am discounting all the mental changes too.

If you want more dramatic changes then surgery becomes necessary. Also, you seem to be someone who is very active in the gym. If you are super lean then you might not see many changes in appearance at all as it is all about the body fat and where it deposits.

Very early days to be discontent, give it time.

I looked in the mirror a few times this weekend, and there definitely has been changes. I think I was in denial about how much I've actually changed.

I ran into Ulta, and bath and body before I went out to do my Sunday stuff, my energy felt different. My energy felt very feminine. I noticed I was swaying my hips, and walking in a very feminine manner... I think I'm excited to start my week off tomorrow. 😁

After you walk comfortably in shorter steps it seems the hips sway a little.  I do not force a hip sway.  Point your feet a bit inward too. 

If only the voice could change as easily. . .

Sounds like you've got a really cute and beautiful walking style now Alana. I try to walk a bit like that with one foot slightly in front of the other to make the hips move. Not sure how it actually looks!

Charlotte, I felt like I was walking on a runway at a fashion show. It was a very affirming experience.

Interesting,  I have never felt that way but that is great to hear!
