take away hrt,boobs,srs .what makes us who we are ? our history,event,time?

[fusstangtroy]

I thought we could put down all growing stuff for few minutes and share other things about what makes us more aware of or needs . Did you like myself have a near death moment ?Or was it inter drive to be your true self? Not all stories i hope are hard and life long .Perhaps you just one day realize that this was your calling ? This topic may not the norm but when your just working or doing daily stuff and not over thinking trans stuff what are we thinking ?  THE word natural ,inter calm,real person inside ,female inside .how do you feel ? We all have soft side and i hope it knows how to type ... Thanks AKA Sara

  Hi Sara !
  Mine is an innate connection between my mind, heart and soul that I have felt since I can remember.She adapted to the male body to survive till she finally said enough and blossomed like a rose. There is no stopping or going back now, I am fulfilling my destiny. You are a sweetheart Sara  hugs.    Patty

I've always "felt' and identified as female. I wish others who happen to look at me to start with the same presumption.

I've said this before, I've never "felt" like I was a female in a male body.

Yet I've had this desire to be female for as far back as I can remember, and maybe this why I haven't done anything beyond coming here.

Almost a year since I've come here and still haven't come out or done anything beyond inner thinking....

So guess I am just me regardless...

It seems like you're speaking about what each of us have questioned most of our life. We have lived an internal life that was inconsistent with our external life and appearance. To what extend must we change the exterior had always been my struggle. When I would look in the mirror, I would see a lie, and over time I hated living that lie. If I were born a century ago, I don't know how I would have reconciled it.

I never felt like a female. Still don't. I spent my adult life with an intense desire to become female (all the while knowing it was quite impossible).

Unrelated (seemingly) to that, I was fascinated by media intended for women, and also (seemingly) unrelated, I found friendships with women far more fulfilling that those with men.

It was this last item that sent me on my journey of discovery. I needed to know how I could improve my social life. When I began meeting women who had transitioned, who didn't seem to have any special skills or savvy, and I realized I could do it myself, there was going to be no stopping me.

Take away the appearance oriented things and inside I will still be the girl I've always been regardless of being stuck in this body that Mother Nature screwed up and gave me.

As an artist I have the perfect outlet to let "me be me" and that is one of the things that gas kept me going since a very early age.

[Kimberley Beauregard]

I just feel female.  The idea of being female and going about my everyday business as a woman feels right to me.

[AnneB]

Feeling my male self, is like a wave.. rhythmic, measured, rolling ashore every minute..

my feeling female, is a tsunami, massive, unrelenting, rising rapidly, pushing farther and farther inland, higher, and higher, with a stronger force behind it, wiping away everything that was there before.

I started my herbal regimen 8 months ago, and if just making me feel better was enough, I would be better, fixed, corrected, able to cope.  But it is not.  We each have our own way to cope, correct, become what we are meant to be.  As it is said, there are many paths to a destination, and there are many stop off points, or destinations short of the final, total change that we choose, for one reason or another.

Some may need to just have support; some, clothes; some, HRT; some, voice, FFS, and finally, SRS.  Not everyone needs everything.  Without these, we will be no more, no better, than who, or what, we were before we became aware.  it may not make us what we are, but it lets us be.

Take away the physical aspects, I'm still a woman.. It's who and what I am.

As i go along in my own journey my mirror starts to show the new me .I must trust my own eyes as they don,t know how to lie to me .Our eyes are door to our own soul yet our brain fights what it sees .Ah human nature . AKA Sara

We are all trained that theres certain things we have to do to be female .( wrong if your true to yourself would not you be the best girl ).Does animals of same type come together .yes perhaps humans do the same we just have all thoses darn clothes messing with us AKA Sara

Nice post .herbs i have been on that train .some do not understand the true effect of plants . American Indians use plants to live a long life ..Us white people are just believing it works .AKA Sara
