Well, all I can say is if I wasn't certain about transitioning to who I desired to be I would not have gone as far as getting my Mickey Mouse chopped off. Anyway, no matter which way one wants to go, and are not certain about. That is why we have a two-year life experience. It took me 4 years' real life experience before I could afford the surgery, but I stuck doggedly with it, that was what I wanted, to be at peace within myself.
I have reached that goal and I am much, much more happy than I ever was in my life before. I love Cindy and who she represents. Loving thyself is where the healing begins. My personality and my perspective on how I see things is way different.
I really don't give two and a half screws on how they want to classify us because we already know who we are. Such talk sounds like a primary school class out on a field day. What should I classify this flower as? You see, the flower is still a flower no matter which species it belongs to. No mater how many gender variants there are we are still of the same species, that is, humans.
The physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists in the medical community know what's up or down when it comes to analysing transsexuals. At least I was EVALUATED as being transsexual and I was also DIAGNOSED as having GID.
Now I consider myself to be a woman, not much different than any woman out there, I have the same thoughts, emotions and characteristics as they do and I bleed the same color blood. But as for using labels in the forums, I believe they are only used to prevent confusion, and to differentiate who from what by using labels. I believe that's all they were meant for to begin with. Seven years ago I never knew just how many gender variants there were for one species named humans.
