If you're post-op trans, do you still sometimes feel like your old self putting on a facade or, do you ever just not feel like going through with it?

Answer anon, if you like.
I mean, are there days where you just don't feel like "dressing the part"? I know it's not just something you put on, or some kind of show to you but, I'm thinking more along the lines of, you wake up one day and you're just too lazy to go through the routine (kinda like how some girls just don't feel like having to put on the make-up, today) and don't care if anyone notices you aren't the way you present since the operations? Maybe, the only person coming to see you that day is a close friend who knows all about you so, you just don't care if they spot your old self peeking through the way you are, now.

I don't know any post-op trans people, but the pre-op ones I know don't see it as a facade and the clothes options are not a fetish as some people out there believe. They can and do sometimes "boymode" where they will dress down and be lazy. The trans man i know doesn't "girl mode" and wear typically feminine clothes though, but i have read on forums that some might do it.

I am sure there are some out there who might feel that way because of dysphoria though..

From what I know of transgender people, their gender identity is central to their very existence, so I can’t imagine they would do that. I could imagine a transgender girl just not feeling like putting on makeup one day, but she would still be a girl.

Yes, I understand why they do it. I used to have a few trans friends but, I never thought to ask them this before they died a few years ago.
I'm pretty sure I didn't word it the right way. In a way, I understand what I meant because I've felt that way a few times but, the correct words just won't come to mind without a lengthy extrapolation that might take a good while to write and read.

OMG!

It doesn't work like that.

I’m not a trans and I will never be one

Okay.
I doubt I ever will either.
