Mind over matter

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Depends on who you talk to, thier age wether they have missused thier body over many years or been on drugs or hard meds or a number of other detils that many men seem to do .

my self im 65 my skin is pretty good my background played a big part in that & yes its softer & olive ,

i wont say like a younger woman though i do have an edge over many men health wise as well. i looked after myself very well knowing one day i would be liveing as a normal woman. as to hair yes with the help of an eperlater my hair is about 8 % , no lazers or any other form of hair remover,

As to meds a low dose just to maintain my body. a low dose,

my difference is as most know im intersexed, so i have some advantages & some disadvantages, over all im happy with in myself ,

Fat layers interesting ? im the same weight now as i was 46 years ago, i give myself a 5 lb up or down winter / summer detail ,

As to Psychologacally & Emotionally pretty much the same all my life from age 10 , my difference is in being able to express my self as a person first , then as a female / woman when your born both male & female there are differences that are a part of you, & a while before my changes started to take place , were from with in . nothing at all to do with meds H R T or any other out side influance, you see our own hormones for me any ways did change , that of cause was over a few years, as my body went through those changes ,

Then later on H R T was a part of other changes that would take place, Plus surgery’s,

Yes a bit more than you asked for, still something different ,

& as far as most people are concerned im just accepted as a male facial featured woman just not trying to be any different than who i am.

And accepted in to with out ? women only here & world wide groups .

I have found that since being on Hrt that my skin is softer and clearer.
That is what a woman that knows all about me has stated also. My head hair has thickened and my body hair has become softer and a lot lighter. what there is off it after laser on most of it. Mentally I feel so much calmer and when your specialist tells you your hormone levels are the same as a 45-50 year old woman that just does wonders to the mind and soul.

. One piece of information intrigues me; Skin changes (I’m assuming it is the change of fat layers under the epidermis), becoming more “sensitive”.

Hi Sarah,

Yes there is a change to the fat layer, but what may be more prominent is the top layer of skin. It becomes thinner, making it more suseptable to damage , through abrasions with hard surfaces.

The thinning of the skin does make it more sensitive.

Hope you are enjoying the experience.

Catherine thank you. Should be interesting. I wasn’t gifted with good coordination so I’m very accident prone… Sometimes with entertaining results! I find I scratch and mark easily now and that cut marks take a long time to fade. May have to start wrapping myself in bubble wrap!
