I had a moment of reflection yesterday that made me feel particularly good. I've been on HRT for roughly 17 months now. With all the changes that I've made to myself, I cannot recognize any semblance of my "old self" anymore in my current state. Even my wife says that there is almost nothing left of that persona. My looks have completely changed. My body has completely changed. My attitude is completely different (happier mostly, but also more femme). I've fully embraced my feminine self and thrown away all the masculinity entirely. It's like that person never existed. And I fucking like it that way. My life was never even a tenth as good as it is now, and all that really changed is that I am now moving towards the real me. Gods, I'm so glad I figured myself out.
Also, yesterday I asked my wife why she never calls me cute. She then said the following without hesitation, "I don't see you as the cute type, but more as the sexy type."
You have subsumed & replaced the person who used to be you. You have taken their body and made something great of it, you are You now
I really like this too, no harsh on people who value their pretrans self & see themselves as the same person, but I spent a lot of time as a teen reassuring people that I wasn't gonna change, I'd still be "me". I too am now totally unrecognisable as that person, I have become a new and wonderful self
