You're very welcome, Jessica.

I agree, there's something magical about this Place. It's such a special resource and community for all of us on our journeys.

See you around in the forums.

Hi everyone. Basically the thought I am talking about is if you could just have a magic wand to change your genitals to that of your "correct gender?"

Now let me try to bring this conversation back on topic. 

Yes, without hesitation!

I've been visiting the forum for years.This time I've stuck around.I wish I knew 30 years ago what I know now. In my teens I desperately wanted to transition. Buried myself in drink and work, late 20s the same. I wish I had transitioned and lived a truer life.

From what the research tells us, the majority of binary trans people have had this thought and quite a lot of non-binary people too. I've definitely had it, tempered by a growing awareness over the years that there doesn't seem to be a well defined gender for me. For me, the magic wand was accepting that I could be happy being me as long as I got off my own case and accepted I was me.

That took quite a bit of doing :-)

How can the majority not understand, "I'm not in this to become anything in particular.  I'm in this to be myself."

If we take all the years most of us do to come to terms with trans, imagine how long it takes an outsider when they don't have to live with all the feelings we do?

I can understand why cis people struggle. That's not to say I condone it when their struggle manifests as portraying themselves, the majority, as the victims of a minority such as ourselves. That, I have no tolerance for any more than I do for racism or homophobia.

It certainly did take a while!  The contentment came from me though.  But I add that it wouldn't have been possible with out the LGBTQ movements!  At least that brought our minority into the mainstream....kinda.
