Honestly I truly believe that I will reach a point where my body feels like mine. The changes with HRT do a whole hell of a lot to minimize dysphoria in my experience. I also live with, work with, and am friends with people who genuinely see me as the way I see myself, as a woman. You can tell from the way people interact with you, how they see you. Being perceived as a woman fits with my perception of myself.

There are two ways to achieve that: changing the body, and changing the mind.
(I'm not claiming one to be easier than the other, but I've noticed most people have a strong preference for changing their body rather than changing their mind)
