10-18C is my ideal external temperature.

Can't be too humid or I'm out

Out.. of the house?

Which means I am unstoppable on roughly 2 days a year.

I start to become Ron in temps above the 60s (Fahrenheit).

(That's Ron Stoppable, for those who've never experienced the joy that is Kim Possible.)

~67° and dry is my preference.

I hike year-round and camp March through October. In my experience, the more time you spend outside, the less sensitive you are to temperature swings. I do live in the PNW though, so I'm spoiled by the climate.

Having said that, I'm extremely sensitive to pretty much everything, and that probably also applies to temperature. I would probably relate to this meme if I didn't spend so much time outside.

I used to have a pretty low heat tolerance and felt better in colder weather. Then I started my transition/HRT and now I have a low heat tolerance and don't feel good in colder weather. Wait...

Good thing there's no in-between seasons anymore. Lol
