Anime references
One of the things I tend to do is take quotes from what I consider pop culture and anime to express how I feel about certain things.
Two quotes from Ranma ½ sort of sum up my feelings about being a M2F person. The first is from the episode Pretty Womanhood:
"How do I explain it?
It feels like I've just awakened from a long, refreshing sleep.
As if I've experienced an amazingly long dream.
I don't know quite how to describe it.
It's as if my experiences until now aren't mine.
It seems so unreal. As if I have another person's memories.
And this morning, the real me suddenly awakened.
I finally realized that I was a woman."
The second is from an incredibly excellent fanfiction series called Genma's Daughter.
"She felt that in acknowledging her feelings about her gender, she had opened Pandora's box, and things would never be the same. A part of her was screaming to fight this, to hide her feelings, but...but she didn't really want to, and she simply couldn't. Not any more."
