Why Aren't You Transitioning?

[Jamie D]

I am transitioning and always will be.

This answer caught my attention.  It is much like the philosophical issue I discussed with Metta Anatta, concerning the "Ship of Thesus" paradox.

I selected "other."  As someone who seems to be genderfluid, unless I was a shape-shifter, is their a body that works for me??

Furthermore, I see transition as happening on multiple levels: physical; mental; emotional; spiritual.  For me, not all are "in sync."

Furthermore, I see transition as happening on multiple levels: physical; mental; emotional; spiritual.  For me, not all are "in sync."

What a wonderful way to look at this.  I agree completely.  Mental and spiritual take the front seat for me.  It is not so important right now that the physical matches up completely as long as the people in my life that really matter know and can accept me for who I truly am. 

Changing the exterior, or the "flesh suit" is less important than realizing who I am right now.
