    I was going to post this in the 'what are you thinking' thread but I figure that we've had a few 'does it get better' threads recently so I'm sharing it here instead.

    I feel spectacular. I mean I have literally never felt better in my life.

    All I have to do now is post 3 letters and my name change is as official as it can get. As far as most of the world will be concerned I am Holly Naomi Cosette ******!

    My gentials, chest and body hair are still making things hell for me but every day I feel a little better about myself.

    Yesterday I discovered I feel OK being naked for the first time in my life. I still wish certain bits were different, but I'm not ashamed of what I look like, and that's a good thing. I'm not scared of somebody special seeing me naked if it comes to it, I feel confident and that feels good!

    My hair is getting longer and looking nicer. It's in better condition than it has ever been. i have figured out how to paint my fingernails properly so I don't have to worry about that as much!

    It's so nice to feel good...for the first time I actually feel like once the three things causing the most dysphoria are gone I might actually be truly happy!

    It occurs to me that, of course you feel amazing: you are amazing! (IMHO, YMMV, etc.)
