Sailor...I don't know if this is advice but this is how I look at it. We have no control over how we were born. We do have control of how we live after leaving home. I have never been a fan of my deformities but I did try to live as everyone else thought I should. I tried to be male but always knew that was not the real me. I look at it this way. If I could do it over again I would have fought for my identity. Living a depressed, negative, unhappy life is not how one wants to live. It took a mental break to decide I could no longer live the lie. I put the love of my family on the line knowing I could be rejected and forced to move out. Thankfully things have worked out. I do not regret using my penis to make two babies as they are what gave my life purpose. I would have much prefered if I was the one giving birth as ultimately I believe that's where the miracle happens. But that is all past and I have a future. One that a few years ago, I did not think possible. If I had one piece of advice it would be to be accepting of your past with and eye on the future and fulfilling all the dreams you have been dreaming. Personally I have never been more satisfied.
