It has produced a feeling of great calmness and a loss of feelings of aggression. I am more emotional, tolerant and more empathetic. I am of the tail end of the stiff upper lip generation, and it served to help me deny the true me; now I can be reduced to tears by the act of shaving, which I find deeply distressing.
I have always favoured fast, highly responsive cars, speed mattered, but handling was all and I drove like a demon. I bought a Morris Minor van, last year, as a promotional tool, and find I am quite content, pootling around, in it, at 40mph. 16 months ago I would have thought any one, wanting to drive a Morris Minor, was a bit weird/stupid!
2 other things I have not mentioned are: that the shape of my shins have changed and I have lost muscle mass. Transvestites, wearing shortish skirts, are usually given away by the fact that men tend to have a pronounced depression on the outside edge of the shin bone, as I used to have. It has gone, my shins look like a woman's. I feel a lot less strong, than I used to be and I have lost almost a full shoe size, without any loss of weight.
The biggest change is that, I have no sense of being male, whatsoever. I have become a transsexual woman
