Figured I'd ask a positive question. For me it was the first time I'd put on estrogen. The HUGE relief I felt... and a few months in when I no longer felt I'd needed a breast form.

I saw gals describe their first time on E as seeing everything in a much more vibrant tint, but I didn't experience that. - is that really a thing, or is it more metaphorical? :3

When I realized and accepted that I'm trans. The period between realizing and fully accepting was very short because all the pieces fell in place almost immediately and there has never been any doubt in my mind. I remember feeling like I finally, finally found what my actual problem was and why I've been feeling like shit for half a century. I sat in the sun in my garden with a coffee and just smiled and felt like everything was right in the world. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into, but no ragrets. 😆
