not having a penis.

hm. I guess being born androgynous. in all ways. voice, looks, bone structure. it's rare, but when it happens it's gorgeous on it's own, and it would be nice to have a malleable template.

Kia Ora Tomthom,

That's a good answer, but not a thread prize winner I'm afraid... ;)

Well in my opinion, there IS one.

It's called brutally honest and open therapy. Every ounce of success comes out of you knowing EXACTLY who you are.  No BS applied or hidden behind.

Without that understanding everything else is built on sand, if you're lucky, not rock that success stands on.

You can have as much FFS as your heart desires. Fine clothing till your wardrobe overflows, the most perfect surgery ever. The best hair created, most expensive make up made; but if you ain't got it inside, and are still muddled up, it ain't worth a dime.

I'll get off my pulpit now.

Kia Ora Catherine,

And thanks for the sweet sermon.. :icon_bunch:.

Well I must say I thought for one minute you had it sown up, but no, you were close but not quite close enough... ;) But good answer though...

the penis part was just a joke. I'll elaborate when I'm serious :P

wait. wait. I just thought of the best transition ingredient. being a clownfish. sex changes are just natural to them when it's needed :D

hmmm one ingredient for a successful transition.. let me think about it a bit..

open-mindedness

In order to be happy, preferably everyone you love will accept you.  So if there was more open mindedness, then more people would dbe ok with you transitioning and not hold it against you, think of you as gross, and still love you! If everyone in the world was openminded, the only thing you have to deal with is transition.  I feel like it is harder cause not only do you have to deal with transition, but you have to deal with hateful people.. it would be so much easier if other people understood.

Kia Ora,

Thanks for your 'thought provoking' responses ...In a sense all the answers put together so far, are on the right track...

Here's a clue:
