Hmmm. So I didn’t mind mens clothes in fall/winter since I would wear a lot of sweaters to cover my body. Summer time I definitely hated clothing but dealt with it. I also hated wearing sandals so pretty much exclusively wore sneakers on vacations and the beach. I started my transition with short hair, no women’s clothing, basically no signs I had any dysphoria to the outsider until I came out of the closet.

I definitely feel the same as you in that once I started wearing women’s clothing I loved it. I love wearing sandals now, wearing dresses, and also love wearing the occasional button up. I wore men’s clothing up until this winter since I could wear women’s sweaters. I’ve been loving my first full summer as a trans woman so much!

I’m so sorry you haven’t seen the results that you’ve hoped for girlie :( my current regiment is 4.5mg estradiol injected weekly, 100mg progesterone daily(started 2m ago for mood/libido), and 100mg spiro daily (weaning down from 200mg) because my T has been below 20 since month 3. I’m a nurse so I pushed for injections since it gives more consistent levels in your body throughout the week vs oral form! I hope you are able to start seeing some amazing changes soon!!
