Hi Everone
I never questioned my gender, not once in my life. The term 'gender' was not in my vocabulary, not that I can recall. It was not until when I came across Susan's Place in January 2010 and that may be the first time I came cross that term. I did not know that I was female until that point in time and I was about 51 years old. So what in the hell happened in my case?
From the ages of 20 to 30, I wanted or longed to be a female. When I was 30 I changed my life around and immediately I was full time, working and living as female, so there was no need to question my gender. I was always female and when surgery occurred, I was 32 years old, ensured that I was able to function as a female.
If someone asked me personally, not that I recall that ever happening, but forms, did ask that directly, male or female or title? I did tick the appropriate box, not realizing that I was answering, what is my gender. So in a sense gender never played a part in what I did.
Now that I'm old and wise, I can say without a doubt I'm a female!
Love and Hugs
