Great essay! Really resonated with me. I think my transition is to nap after work. But I want to do more art or dancing.

The "slow burn" resonated with me - but also what you write about the masking and cycle.

It's good to hear I am not alone with this - I have always worked in male dominated fields and felt like the odd one out.

On the other hand the surrender has become so much easier since I live my life in a lesbian relationship (multiple to be precise) and we can explore and change our polarities. It is still hard for me to let myself fall completely but when it happens, it is so so good.

I have lived half my life with people who wanted me to be "the man" (I'm a trans woman) - so I feel this deeply. "Aligning with my body" is a new experience for me and it is interesting to read that cis women, too, have different levels of this alignment.
