Where IS THIS COMING FROM?

[Sue Too]

Just recently, I had a session with my therapist followed by a visit with my endo. I now have been on HRT for only three days. I can't wait to get up in the morning and take my pills. For background you should know that I have been going out en femme for 5-6 years and have never been openly challenged. I seem to pass easily. Even with this apparent acceptance of my presentation, I still have felt a little like an intruder in the femme world.
All this has changed in recent weeks. My confidence level has gone through the roof. These two steps on my road to womanhood seem to give a great degree of validation to my feelings of belonging and left me with an almost fearless feeling about being in public. It's like I BELONG. Are these feelings unusual or have others of you experienced the same feelings. Since I've only been on my meds for three days and was experiencing these feelings before i started, I feel I must discount any medication effects. I'm sure it's all in my head-------but what a wonderful feeling. Please share your thoughts.

From what you have said here and in recent posts, it seems that you are transsexual. I believe that what you are feeling is the validation of your true gender now that you have accepted who you really are and are acting on it. In my not so humble opinion, what you felt before was to do with trying to fight the gender dysphoria and was similar in nature to the WTF moments that many of us (including me) have described.

Isn't it great when you purge all that male crap, both physical, and mental, and can be yourself? At first I felt a little like an intruder in the female world, but that passes so quickly. I don't think it's at all unusual that you feel you belong, after all, the girl was there all along, she just needed a chance to get out. It only gets better from here!

Did you check the label on the pill bottle? It might have come from China! :)

After only three days it is mostly a psychological effect. However, now you have a reason to look forward and know that your dreams are coming true and that can be a real game changer. Fasten your seatbelt, pull it tight, and hold on.

Remember to always follow the yellow brick road.

If one follows the yellow brick road, they will find a lost little girl, a rusty piece of junk tin guy, a wimpy lion, and a scraggly stupid scarecrow that can't scare squat. Now if you follow the Pink Path you will find yourself at the end of the path just waiting to take on the world. It's your choice.
