Normal. It feels normal.

A question came up in my Discord server recently that, initially, I felt was very hard to answer and then I realized what it was: normal.

So, the question was "what does it feel like to no longer have that body part?" 

Initially, my response was that the question was really hard to answer, but then I thought about it more because, well, I hadn't actually thought about it. That, I think, is the point because it just feels normal for me to have a vulva/vagina. Like, it's right for me, how I was meant to be configured and so it feels normal.

In all honesty, I don't think I can really recall exactly what it felt like to have a penis anymore and it feels like that happened really rapidly. Like a lot of my past, these memories of an incongruous self have faded and it's hard to connect to them. Like when I see old photos and I am almost puzzled by the person in them. Who's that? Surely it can't be me.

It is me, of course, I don't have a lot of heartache about that, but I don't relate. Anyways, that's how I feel about my body these days, normal, and that's a damn fine thing indeed.

Brr... and other things you may want to know

So, there is a lot of information out there about HRT, but most of it is quite clinical and deals with subjects like dosage amounts, expected effects, and rough timelines... then there is what you didn't really know and wished someone told you.
