A though experiment i found useful when I was questioning was the button one: in front of you is a magical button that will perfectly change you physically to the opposite sex, and everyone who knows you will remember you as always having been this way. Would you press the button?

Update: Well it did put me to sleep, but only for about 5 hours. I was hoping it would knock me out for a proper 8-9 hour sleep, I think it probably didn't because I had only woken up about 5 hours before going to sleep again so my body didn't really need the full sleep. I probably should have waited until my sleep schedule rotated around to normal sleeping hours first in retrospect, but I was impatient. I think I will wait for that before I try this again. Still, it did put me to sleep at a time where I normally wouldn't be, so I'm willing to be positive and write this up as a partial success

i've had much more of a social life in general ever since transitioning, i used to have really severe social anxiety that almost entirely went away after i transitioned (except for phone calls, those still scare the shit out of me). Turns out not hating yourself makes it significantly easier to socialise, who knew
