poll: how do you feel about being transgender

[mynees]

I'm transsexual woman, not transgender ... and I'm very proud of who I am.

Discovering that I'm Trans has been the greatest discovery in my life. Giving myself the gift of transitioning is the greatest gift I've ever given myself.

Simply perfect! +1

I chose "Too confused to answer", partly because that's fairly accurate, and partly because none of the other options really seemed to fit.

In a way, I love being trans simply because it makes me exceptional, a condition that suits my mentality.  I've always been a maverick in various ways, and being trans is just one more way.

In a way, I dislike it and just have to live with it.  I recognize that I should have been born cis female, and it's been a huge problem for me all my life that that didn't happen.

In a way, I am what I am.  There's nothing wrong with what I am.  If there's a problem, it's your problem, baby, and you deal with it.  I'm too busy being beautiful.  Too bad about you.

Life would certainly be easier as a cis female, and I am still jealous of them in some ways. Intolerance is also something I will likely have to face. On the other hand, finding myself and watching my problems disappear has been so rewarding. All my life I have been so sad, as if something was missing. Now I finally know what it was and it is a really good feeling; some people go through life never knowing what that "something" is. I also look better than I ever have before and that is something most people my age cannot say. "It goes both ways" is how I would put it. I guess the closest choice on the poll is "I am what I am."

Stealth in life here, prefer to be seen as a woman as that is what I am.

Trans is simply the road I had to take to reach maturity through forced re-pubescence and is not the moniker I choose to carry.
