You're making progress and the day will come when this part of your life, your transition, is a think of the past.<BR/><BR/>I put it off for like forever, didn't want to bother my family, thought I'd never come close to passing, had a million reasons. I even married a closeted FTM who was okay with me being me at home, and so I thought I'd be okay. He gave me no end to shit if I said or did something even slightly fem out of the house.<BR/><BR/>My father who abused me for years because I came out to my folks when I was five is now long since dead. Even my husband is dead and burried now. Wasn't until he left me, and took everything, that I finally realized that putting it off for other people was crazy and killing me.<BR/><BR/>So, I transitioned, and when it was all over the world didn't come to an end, I still have all my friends, family, people I love in my life. I'm just a girl now, like any other and the only time I really think about gender and stufff is when I'm on the net wandering around.<BR/><BR/>Ironically the last vestiages of my old life, the only indications that I wasn't born inside and out the same, is here online. I didn't want to be one of those women who transitions and vanishes. So I try to be supportive and someone who is a voice in the dark saying; "You can do this, I did!"<BR/><BR/>Prior to transition I used to get mistaken for Jonathan Frakes all the time. Now people think I look like my sister. People who've known me my whole life think I look like my sister. How cool is that...<BR/><BR/>Hang in there Claudia,<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>SamSamantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586759980410037672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827507184708653105.post-13821768957669297112007-11-18T09:22:00.000-08:002007-11-18T09:22:00.000-08:00Congratulations on your shopping trip!

You've taken that step now, and each time you go it will be easier.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can work things out with family and living arrangements and things like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
