Breaking Points

[Shantel]

The look of hate on her face told me everything.  That was when I knew it was over and that the next step was to transition.

She was pissed because I almost lost my job. Not that I tried to kill myself.

How incredibly cold!
I was waiting in a line at customer service when one pretty young woman in front turned to the other and showed her a big diamond ring. She said, "I'm getting married, he makes big money and will be able to take good care of me!" I didn't hear the word love, I wanted to throw-up!

My breaking point was when someone showed me a magazine photo of a gorgeous woman standing in a doorway with (ugh) male genitalia. A light went on as I realized that something I had wanted to do for a long time was in fact achievable.

"It was me I needed to change, not my clothing"

This is quite accurate for myself as well. Wearing clothing that doesn't match how I look seems like an odd concept to me as well. Luckily some changes have started so we see how long before I get to try stuff that looks good.
