What is your passion? What drives you related to trans?

My passion, shoes and makeup. Oh not that kind of passion though. :P

I think what everyone said pretty much sums up how I feel. Though I'm not angry about it usually.

But some of my own are;

I am different.
I try to provoke positive thinking in others about transgender people.
I use it at times such as being able to approach life with calculated thinking and intuition.

That last one has helped me tremendously.

Glad you found us and yourself here Mark, hopefully as you develop a plan and some coping skills things will be better each day!

Thank you Shan.

sometimes making a plan might not be as important as changing the ones you already have...
learning self acceptance, and how to just stop pretending i'm all kinds of things that i'm not, was more important to me than making a plan of something or somewhere over the rainbow.

i accept dysphoria in a completely different way now than when i started out on this journey. it isn't crippling, it doesn't stop me from being me, doing what i want (mostly), having fun. it is a pain that proves i'm alive, like the scratches that my kitten make on my hands. i'd rather live with dysphoria than not having known this path of life.

there are many feelings concerning how difficult non-binary, or even binary transition is in norway. but that won't stop me from living anymore. i won't stop trying either, but setbacks won't feel like someone's trying to kill me.

Dysphoria and introversion drives me to transition. I know I could be who I really want to be if my body didn't get in the way.

There IS more, I consider myself a female despite what my body looked like when I was born so one of my primary drives is to pass as female to men.  Every time I a man sees me as a women it makes me a little happier. 

Don't get me wrong, this transition was for me but being perceived as female by men and treated as female all the time validates me on some deep personal level, it just feels right....

I've always been female, a little girl since as long as I can remember. I had a very nice childhood & though I was a girl like all the other little girls until my first grade teacher told me I was a boy & that I needed to sit with the boys. She said with your nice eye lashes you would make a very pretty little girl but you are a boy. She was nice to me & she knew I was upset, that was terrible news. So I've always just wanted to correct my physical body to a normal person, a woman.
mtF, mid 50's, always a girl since childhood, HRT (Spiro, E & Fin.) since 8-13. Hormone levels are t at 12 & estrogen at 186. Face lift & eye lid surgery in 2014. Abdominoplasty/tummy tuck & some facial surgery May, 2015. Life is good for me. Love long nails & handsome men! Hopeful for my GRS & a nice normal depth vagina maybe by late summer. 5' 8", 180 pounds, 14 dress size, size 9.5 shoes. I'm kind of an elegant woman & like everything pink, nice & neet. Love my nails & classic Revlon Red. Moving back to Florida, so excited but so much work moving

Wow, all these deep and insightful answers...  :o

Honestly, what drives me is the dysphoria - I can't live my life as a man, even if the dysphoria was hard to recognize for the longest time. Where I'm headed is beauty, and I'm learning to love. I adore all things beautiful, but I need to be in a state of love to recognize the beauty. If I only see the flaws and critique I'm blind to the beauty around me and lose hope. Besides, I cease to learn if I close my mind, and without learning there's really nothing.

Fifty years of knowing I was different. 
Fifty years of rejection of who I am. 
Fifty years of misunderstanding the relationship I have spiritually with the God of my Understanding, of thinking I was condemned due to trans. 
Fifty years of bitterness,
Fifty years of purge after purge,
Fifty years of progression,
Fifty years of pain....

Thirty years of sobriety after the self hate had driven me to the edge of death by progressive alcohol poisoning.

Then, a year and a half of therapy,
a year and a half of learning not to hate myself,
a year and a half of the medical and shrink discovery of trans,
a year and a half of hormonal transition,
a year and a half of a new life,
a year and a half of pain with the end being joy from that pain,
a year and a half of coming out,
a year and a half of finding the marital boundaries that work and not only work, that become celebration
a year and a half of the end of all deceit and lies,
a year and a half of the beginnings of the reduction of dysphoria.

9 months of Susans,
9 months of new friends,
9 months of a life with new meaning,
9 months of not being alone,
9 months of reality and freedom,
9 months of authenticity,
9 months of a whole new life, 
9 months of validation.

An eternity of truth and victory

What drives me.


Bitterness of the past, a resolution that others be helped based on my trans experience, a deep love of family, God, and the entire transgendere communty no matter what walk it is, a deep desire to influence and restore others into joy and peace and new beginnings, a fire that burns in my heart to share my experience strength and hope with all of you, and a rage that expresses in the little things to confront those who wrecked my mind in the beginning, who were clueless, who need to see truth, and to see some of mine if they look hard enough.

Easy, not.  Rewarding, incredible.  Is it a war against injustice, a war against depression, a war against suicidality in others?  Absolutely.  It is a battle, and I am a warrior, with the wings of trans.

Love to all here, nails out hair down heart wide open and living truth.

Sh'e took the little blue ones.

listening to taishi's mixes, making me think along different lines.

learning to fly and sharing the joy.
that's what drives me, it's the meaning of life.

finding the wings of freedom which can take us earthbound creatures to heights we used to only dream of.
to one day reach the stars with all the new friends i make on my journey.
