Hi,
So one needes to be a woman before one transitions,
. well try this, i did not transtion from male to female or female to male.
was not posiable ether way. i did not live as a woman because i had not grown into being a woman. i did not live as a woman to find out if i could live the rest of my life as one, or be accepted in to ( my ) a womens world,
The real life liveing of two years or what ever, why, did not need to & more to the point would not,
You see some of us are different , in many aspects of our life, hormones mind Emotions & how we are wired or put to gether,
Now what does need to be a woman mean before trantsion what is a woman first off, & how does one become one,
From where i stand . im a female not compleat in all aspects im missing my womb so that being the case am i then not a female, you may answer that. , though you need more info. yes im female a intersexed female, born wrong , well maybe not depends on how you see it,
Am i a woman my peers say so from thier point of view nothing to do with me or at my telling them i am, this is how they see percive & understand me, & accept who i am, now my hormones are mixed & changes took place 20 years ago well started from then, i have grown into a woman, nothing i did, or tryed to do it all came natrualy ,
Yes iv had corrective surgerys that even did not make me a woman. though wonderfull going through, another story,
before birth at conception as it is i was programed as female thats were it starts, now there can & are differences to ones body just because we are female does not mean all aspects of our body is female mine was not hence being intersexed, both male / female. now how much will depend on many factors, too many to go through here,
Now can one be a woman before or after one transtions depends on the person & no one can answer that & have every one the same what happens to one will be very different for another,
say a 16 year old would she be counted as a woman or even a 12 year old what about a 70 year old, in your thinking a 70 year old man decide's he wonts to live as a women well like one, & have surgerys, you need to look beyound the SQ or box,
for some its imposiable & will never happen because there are some girls who never become women again many reasons.
one size will never ever fit every one,
