Slowing down a nervous system like mine has been quite a feat but it is working. The oldest born in a deeply religious family who was taught to be dutiful only to then enter a challenging profession is not an easy animal to tame.
Keeping extremely busy is largely how I kept gender dysphoria at bay for all those years.
However when one retires there is nowhere to hide and plenty of time exists to tie up all those loose ends. It is hard enough for someone who isn't transgender to slow down but we end up with a little extra complexity just for good measure.
