Oh my, it had been a long time since I had been here, and this is the first subject I stumble upon, lol.
Passing?
Or perhaps "being", "saturated", "intrinsically"
How important?
in my own mere perspective I am alive because of it. When I set out on this journey of journeys, the opportunity to become a woman seen in the mirrors edge of societal scrutiny was rather delusional at best. Starting from a bloky body building male of 43 presented countless impossibilities. Yet, delusional me never gave up. A survivor of an attempt, I didn't value life any more then in becoming without any excuses, entirely encompassing, native, true to the extend of my being, a WOMAN.
I have, or at least I feel I had. My peer social circles, those who got to know me since about two years ago, know of me as a woman, never, ever, had there been any question nor suggestion of otherwise questionable intrusion. Those who are simphatetic to my cause who had known me since way back do know of my past, and yet they too see me and know me to be the genuine and true, a woman I always was, however in hiding!
So to answer this complicated question:
I believe that there are way greater number of those who had transition, who never gave in to the pain and sorrow of strive, who pushed the boundaries of relentless pursuit and who now are just another woman out there. How could you tell, you can't!!
And how important was it for me:
Well, lets just say this, had this rebirth into true being wasn't successful, I would not write this here post, I would had been long gone into the statistics of how grave this condition is.
