Christmas is coming ! What would you like ?

[Anatta]

Kia Ora,

Xmas is coming so what would the pre transitioners and pre -non ops like from Santa ? Any requests ?

I should add...What do you think is one of the most important gifts Santa can/could give a gender dysphoric person ?

We always celebrate Christmas just the four of us and we have traditions, phrases and such which are set in stone. It's a ritual for most of it, but it's ritual steeped in love and it's become the thing I most look forward to about it. As a present pile, I'm hoping for a haul of hard-to-find books and silly cds, maybe a nose hair trimmer there too.

Kia Ora Pica,

Do you think it will snow in London this Xmas ?

I'll be getting my Christmas gift about 1 week late but it'll be so worth the wait.

[Padma]

I'll wave to Santa as he trots by - growing up Jewish makes the whole xmas thing seem a bit nebulous to me. I'm actually going to have my first ever family xmas this year, as I'll be with my girlfriend and her wee boy, who is going to go completely insane that day with prezzie-thrill . So this will be my first experience of stuff-under-the-tree family vibe. My wish is that it goes well - wee boy's dad and partner's mum are unpredictable mood bombs.

What I wish for myself is equanimity. I'm me, they're them, that's fine .

[Kentrie]

All I want is the white iPod touch under my Christmas tree that I've already snuck around and opened and the clothes my mom got me. I would like to have had my ex girl friend wearing a thong wrapped up under my Christmas tree but she lives 4 hours away so that's the only thing I don't get.

[supremecatoverlord]

I would like to feel as happy with myself as possible.
:]

[Joanna]

For me it would be the Cath Kidston handbag I asked for on my wish list and an epilator (very much needed!!)

On a bigger scale I hope for happiness and better 2012 than the year I have just had.

Well my real wish is for peace in the world 

butt if i have to choose for myself then i would choose a friend to share my farm who loves to garden and grow things and raise animals etc etc.. 

[Nurse With Wound]

A set of XX chromosomes and a working set of female genitalia.

Failing that, acceptance from my mum.

Failing that, a microKORG synth to make sad bedroom-core ambient drone folk.

that the wishes of the folks who posted before and after me would come true.

Christmas Light Show 2011 - Sexy and I Know It

I would like to have this house; without the electricity bill.

[LexiToPeter?]

Well, I'd like to wake up and have a boy's body, but since there's no way in heck that'll happen....

I think the best thing I could get is a giftcard to some clothing store and my parents letting me choose clothes from the boy section. I'm pretty sure it'll happen too, and if it does....man, it's gonna be great. That is the one thing I really want this year.

[Felix]

I want an entire day off, without absolutely nothing that needs to get done.

I also want a double mastectomy from a non-quack surgeon, and some way to be sure that I can afford my T in both the near and distant future, and a pair of really good shoes with the prescription orthotic that my medicaid considers frivolous.

I want some good lube (that stuff's expensive), and a prosthetic erect cock that isn't tiny and doesn't smell funny. I want an electric razor, and some 10/15/20 lb free weights.

I want a phone plan paid for by someone who doesn't think I'm scum (my dad pays for mine, in exchange for my leaving him alone), and I want a phone that isn't glitchy. Or my god, a job that I could do while also raising my daughter. Failing so hard at life is not normally how I roll.

Santa should bring electricity. PGE gives me a good plan (figuring in old debt), but 100 a month still hurts. Santa should smash Comcast to little pieces so a smaller cable company can take its place. I have no television, and my internet speed is molasses, but they still charge 50 a month. That's not fair. In Alabama I got high speed for 40.

I want the Marketplace books, which don't show up in used bookstores. I want 69 Love Songs, which I've forever been meaning to get around to getting. I want a record player and a cd player, as both of mine died recently.

I'm materialistic and shallow. I could post further with more things I want. To counterbalance my selfishness: I want braces for my daughter, and a nintendo DS lite like her friends have, and knitting lessons for her. And admission to the art museum.

I need more magical things, though. I need to know more than I know, and I need to be stronger.

Wishing is delightful, but to address this -

Metta Zenda

The most important gifts Santa can give a gender dysphoric person are the things or processes that allow that person to feel more normal.

Secular and sensual acquisition is good stuff to daydream about. I expect I'll post here again with more personal greed. It's pleasant.

[Maja.V]

I want loads of money to spend it on surgeries for my fellow TS sisters and brothers. <3

[Jen61]

Zenda,

I thought you were a Budhist, are you converting to Christianity ? 

Jen61

[AbraCadabra]

Hm... a lover to 'run-in' my neo-vj?

Though taking it light and easy :-)

Marry Xmas all,
Axelle

[Anatta]

Kia Ora all,

Well I hope all your dreams come true ! Happiness is 'subjective' so in a sense it's on tap 24/7 if you 'think' about it...

@ Jen61"I thought you were a Buddhist, are you converting to Christianity ?"

As a practitioner of the Dharma, no I don't celebrate Xmas, it's just another day-I'll go to the beach and read a book...However for those who feel it's something special I wish them all the best...

BTW To answer my own question...I think what many pre-transitioners 'need' from Santa is the gift of 'SELF CONFIDENCE',  the ability to do the things they need to do in order to find true contentment...To be without  self confidence is like having a row boat without the oars... 

So my gift to you all is this..."Change the way you look at things[if you dig deep enough you will find something positive in any situation] and the things you look at change !"

Merry Xmas and Happy 'Mindfulness' !

SNOW!

I can't write my name in it, but whatever.
