so today i had a psychological evaluation, nothing much happend it was the usual "so whats your problem? is it to do with your sexual orientation? (why do they allways think im gay?) oh its your gender!! ooh.... errrm im not sure what to do next"

but afterwards was more interesting i went to see my friend jo who i recently came out to and we had a huge talk, we've got a policy of being brutaly honest with each other and so she said to me that she thinks im a man. after a bit of talking about it she warmed up a little to my side of the arguement (she got around the idea that you had to be a screaming drag queen to be a transexual) and she started saying how she thinks if i spent one day as a woman i would hate it, her explaination went something like this:

"think about it, i have to get up choose my clothes, put on my make up work all day then come back and cook dinner for your brother who just sits on his ass and messes about"

to which i cunningly replied

"well if its so hard why dont you grow a penis?"

which made her laugh. she started to talk about her transvestite friend who was a man by day and a woman by night. she seemed to be suggesting i could do that, i dont know there was a time when i thought that was what i wanted but now im not so sure, still she wants to pretty me up so at least i have a partnerin crime now  ;D

One of the biggest hurdles we face is finding therapist, and or medical professionals who are in the know about TG issues, and for myself TS issues.  However finding allies who can form part of our own support structure is just as important, it would seem that you have one in your brutally honest friend.

Being honest is one area where many of our friends fall short, but friends who will back you to the end are usually those who are brutally honest with you.  She is a keeper and I think one who you can rely on for support and advice.  "Pretty you up" go for it, what do you have to loose.
