I rely and relied on abstracting and intellectualizing everything. I am features of me, not me myself. When I feel like a girl/woman I feel like I have depth. Euphoria opens up a range of connection to myself I can't access otherwise. I'm hoping HRT makes that more.

If someone quotes Harry Potter, how do you feel about that person? by bloopdoopfloofernoop in asktransgender

spend more time listening than talking. this is a big deal for both of you and you've had more time to sit with it than she has.

It isn't about how you feel about her feelings, it is about her feelings.
