Part Two

"Transmen, like men as a whole, represent a spectrum of gender expressions. I know transmale drag queens." - Leslie Feinberg

How did we get here and where do we go from here?

If the definition of Transsexuality is "the experience of being born within the reproductive category that is more or less opposite of what one identify as", and as such is pretty simple, the transsexual experience is far from simple. It is as individual as the people living it. No two people feel the same, live the same or view the world the same. Some experiences connected to the medical part of the experience may be largely similar, but what actually goes on inside is individual. The path we take to achieve wholeness and what wholeness is to us as trans people is also individual.
