Want to know some of the weird and wrong things you believed back then. I used to believe a lot of dumb things, some of them were dumb in a funny way, others in a hurtful right wing way, but many of those things were wrong and pretty dumb looking back.

Ah, I know what you mean. It's so nice not to be constantly on edge. Sexual desire does come back eventually (and different!), but it takes a while.

I was almost expecting a 180° shift in perspective, kind of "this is how it feels to be a woman" and was a bit disappointed that it was still me inside. But I guess that's validating in a way: I was actually a woman all along...
