Very interesting. Why do you think your wardrobe grew so much after you switched to female? Do you think that you grew your wardrobe to better fit the image of a female in the eyes of others, or was it a natural impulse that came from within?
Edit: Probably the root of my question would be does a transexual person like yourself truly feel female? And if you do does the feeling of being female precede or follow the switch? As you said your wardrobe was smaller before you switched to female. It would be very interesting if it had grown before the switch and then you made the switch. Fundamentally I ask these questions because I want to understand at least a little about what transexual life must feel like because I can not imagine it personally.
Trans 101: Imagine one morning you wake up and you're a woman - but you're still thinking like a man. Everything about your body feels wrong, everything about how you're expected to behave feels wrong. That's it in a nutshell.
Part of the reason my wardrobe grew is that I actually like my body now and want to show it off. Part of it's that women are expected to put more effort into how their clothes coordinate, and generally allowed to dress more flamboyantly.
(There are also lots of nerdy transwomen out there who keep on dressing Geek Casual after the transition. I am not one of them.)
