Hello my darlings.

I feel a huge mix of emotions. I spent last week reflecting on everything.

I was thinking whether this was an obsession, a kink, a fetish, wondered if it was real, if I was making it up.

I used AI to go through my thoughts and feelings.

It kind of highlighted to me that if it was an obsession, I would soon get bored of it. If it was a a fetish or a kink, there's no way I would be thinking the way I do.

I never had much indication as a kid. But I was always closer to my female friends and relatives, was never a typical boy, though I played with male action figures.

I used to pray that could be a girl. I wanted to know what it was like so that it would make me a better lover.

But there are other things, things I cannot go into in the forum that served as other indicators. I put on a mask of masculinity to battle the underlying dysphoria. I had to be the alpha male. And it worked. Sort of. But it was never me.

I was kind, gentle, soft, loving, caring.

I hated what males do. I wanted to do what women do, feel what women do.

If I had a red button, I would press it now. Old thoughts of wishing I had a womb, a vagina. The ache of knowing how much time has past and I'm only catching up to it now. The old male has got me this far, but that's been a mask. She wants to come out, she needs to be seen, rocking a cute skirt, tights and a lovely long woolen jumper. Lumps and bumps on the right place.

I stopped hormones last year under pressure from my partner. But the dysphoria is crippling. I yearn to be her.

I decided I had to be her. So I finally admitted it to myself. Told myself no going back. This is me. Sensual, passionate, a smouldering fire lurking underneath.

I came out properly to my friends. And I've been buzzing ever since.

The doubt I have is just fear. Male is a comfortable escape. But being a woman is living.

That is wonderful, Lucy!

Your journey is almost exactly the same as mine.

I had the same questions, too. I asked my psychologist about them, and like you, he pointed out all of the reasons that it was nothing else. It is gender dysphoria.

Once I dealt with what that meant, I decided that, if this is me, then I will embrace her. And I never looked back.

I know exactly the feeling you are describing! Congrats!

Only problem now is squaring it away with my Catholic faith.

Lucy, I am so glad you are now finding internal peace.

(Disclaimer: I am not a Catholic, not even a Christian.)  Some Episcopal bishops have been quite vocal since the present disaster started, and in that context, I read this recently:

QuoteGod does not make mistakes. If God made you cisgender, you are beautifully and wonderfully made. If God made you transgender, you are beautifully and wonderfully made. If God made you genderqueer, genderfluid, nonbinary, or any other variation on gender identity, you are beautifully and wonderfully made."

I recently posted a news article where Pope Francis was speaking of gay priests.
https://www.susans.org/index.php/topic,250342.msg2295753.html#new

"If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" Francis said. "We shouldn't marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society."

I think Jesus would agree that this statement applies to all humans, not just gay priests.

See Galatians 23:8.

As a Christian and one who struggled with my faith. A pastor once told me that God had made me this way for a purpose. The church has been very supportive of my transition.
Congratulation on embracing who you are.

Lucy, don't even try.

Faith and religion are two different things.

One requires you to believe, the other requires to you be sorry.

I am not religious but I have done a lot of research on the idea of it all. You do not need anyone's permission to be you. Not anyone on this earth. God loves you for you. Doesn't matter what anyone tells you have to be. And.. the church has had a long... long time to be able to tell people who they should be. For their own ends, mostly.

The question you have to ask is... do you want to meet God as you? Or as someone who isn't you?

He will know the difference. :)

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3
