So in all my years of wanting to transition out of being considered a man as an intersex individual, one of the hardest steps was to give up all Masculine ideology and practices.

A primary step was Changing my bathroom habits, as silly as it seems it made a difference. I went from standing in the stall using the restroom in the male restroom originally to sitting down in the male restroom wherever I used the bathroom regardless of going poo, or going pee. I literally started changing the horrible masculine male habits. I hated every single thing about being considered a man.

It was nearly a year and half into my transition before I felt that I was able to use the female restroom without much problem. But by this time I had fully developed the habit of sitting down to use the restroom so much that I never once stood to pee like a man ever again. This was actually extremely helpful after gender bottom surgery (GCS), because I was already fully aware of the need to sit and use the restroom.

So for those who wish to be female, wish to pass as a woman, are you sitting down to use the restroom or are you still standing? If you’re still standing, why are you not embracing everything it means to be a woman instead of cherry picking only the things you want to be considered a woman?

I enjoyed and agreed with everything you said except for this last sentence. There are a lot of equally valid ways to transition, and no rules, so I don't question anyone else's choices.
My experience was similar to yours. I started sitting in the…

When newly hatched transwomen start asking about transition, this is one of the first things that I tell them to do. It is one of those affirming things that helps them to start breaking old habits. Most have a lifetime of learned habits to unlearn, and this is something that they can start right away.
