I haven't been ignoring you, is just that learning how to become a moderator put a real crimp in my posting. Your skin color and your transsexualism are both things you can't change so the only solution is to learn to live with them. I am taller than most men and like you I can't do anything about it so I stand up tall and am proud of my hight. My transsexualism was much harder to deal with and I first knew in at age 13, I came out at 23 and didn't have my surgery until age 30. In 1964 there was very little treatment available in the United States. Only one hospital treated transsexuals in the entire country so I had to wait a long time. You have the board for information and there is treatment available most everywhere now. It a matter of deciding you want to be happy and deciding you are wiling to put the work in to make it happen. The decision is your, I had to wait for medicine to catch up with me, you can start working on your future today if you want.
