I've found that being confined to male expression, that is, deprived of my true gender expression most of my life resulted in me not caring about my appearance; my not taking care of a body that I really didn't feel a healthy connection to. That has changed since starting NBE and now transitioning to what will probably be presenting as a woman full time.
I've noticed that many here are over weight when starting NBE. If I had the genetic tendency to be overweight I'm sure that would have been me, too. Even so, I've lost 20 pounds without hardly trying, all because I see the possibility of having a body and a face that is closer to what I think it should have been from the start.
Transition to a full or partial extent is often the only answer to solving deep rooted problems of self-worth caused by a cross gender identity, and relieving the mental distress that accompanies those doubts.
