Objectively... quite good? But I feel terrible. The dysphoria is strong and I feel like I'm faking it.

Told my wife explicitly I'm transgender. "Oh yeah," she says, "you always had that kind of an air about you." Now you tell me! Haven't talked about transitioning yet.
Since my egg cracked the desire to stuff myself full of junk food and get drunk has just vanished. I'm eating healthier and WAY less.
Tried putting on makeup; just copying tutorials so far, but apparently I resemble my mother. Was aiming for something a bit younger though :(
Bought a BLÅHAJ. If I'm going to jump on the trans bandwagon I might as well have something to hug.
All the clothes in the women's section are for people 20cm shorter and half my weight
But I did find a cute hat. My face looks stupid beneath it, but I'm going to wear it anyway.
I painted my nails, and I can't stop staring at my hands. Awww yeah :3
Noticed that I actually have quite feminine fingers (and incidentally a noticeable cupid's bow). Win, I guess!
I want to start HRT.
Kind of hoping someone will call me a good girl?
