Honesty it's not super positive but learning to accept that I'll never undo male puberty.
The bad memories, the growth, a lot of the hair, the sort of in between socialisation and so on. All these things are with me for life, I can't undo them and I'll never have the body and life I wish I had, or even the body and life I might have had if I'd been able to transition earlier.
Given that, I can carry around resentment for the rest of my life and keep waiting to "be myself" or just move on and accept that there are limits to what hormones can do and limits to how many things I can afford to do and live as I am.
Funny as it might sound, the appearance of Karlach in BG3 makes me feel a little better about how male puberty made me grow and being a bit taller/broader. I think I'm okay with being big and muscle-y, in a less-masculine framing.
The hair is a damned nightmare though. It's curley and things... snag.
