My transition is the most revelatory segment of my life and it only took sixty four years to get here. I am looking into not only my gender dysphoria but also where I fit, on the Autism Spectrum. By knowing bits and pieces so far I have been able to become aware of my weaknesses, like not taking into consideration, how telling the truth, is not always the best policy. It's odd because I alway thought people wanted to hear the truth. Not so.
To that end, I had an excellent visit with my sister yesterday. She told me that for the first time I maintained a civil conversation without wandering into the weeds. I explained to her everything I have learned thus far and she has gone from skeptical, to firmly supporting me and the community. It was the best day I have had since I had a breakdown in her living room. When I left, I was so happy and relieved. I never intended to be an ass. Like gender dysphoria it is something I was born with and am now dealing with.
Now I am going to attend a Transgender Community vacation in Vegas. I am so looking forward to meeting some wonderful people that share in my belief that we were misgendered at birth and no matter what bits and pieces you exhibit, does not define you. You my friends have much to do with my growth as a person, as a human being. Happy Moni, Alaskan Danielle,Tatianna 99, Julia 1996, Lauren, Michelle_P, Kendra, Faith, Jessica, Kathy Lauren and last but not least Susan Larson. Many others have contributed, but these folks have contributed support from Susan's Place for the three years I have been associated with it. Consider this a digital hug, from a unabashed fan, supporter, sister.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
