What's your greatest fear?

[Melissa]

Haven't most of us already been there?  Transition happens when you overcome that fear.

Dawn

Yes, but I meant going back to that after transitioning.  I cannot hide who I am any longer and don't personally experience this, but others might.

And surely others may not.

I'm sorry I stated this wrong.  It's not a fear of expressing who you are because you will be persecuted, but the fear that I would feel I needed to go back to hiding and not expressing who I truly am.

Aha, there you go.

My biggest fear is myself and fits of depression.

That I can identify with. ^*Hug*
One word from me, to you. "Love".
That one single word has saved me twice.
I share it with you, should you ever need.

My greatest fear in life I would have to say...Would be that of not being accepted in society as a woman. I think that would just absolutely kill me!


I value my womanhood so much that it makes me wanna cry 

[Alexis]

Total rejection from friends and family and also
Spandex.

[Mina]

at the moment, my greatest fears are

1. Being stuck in a desicion that could make or break me: the original rock and hard place. I'm usually a very decisive person, so finding that I can't make a decision really scares me.

2. Being outed and disowned by my friends and family: I need love to survive.

3. Discovering that I'm not transsexual at all, and that this whole painful, wonderous journey is just a twisted machination of my own sick mind (please Goddess, never let this happen!)

Love,
Mina.

[Terra]

Discovering that I'm not transsexual at all, and that this whole painful, wonderous journey is just a twisted machination of my own sick mind (please Goddess, never let this happen!)

This is my second greatest fear, my first being alone for the rest of my life, never having a partner to help me carry on.

[Shana A]

The realities of violence against transgendered people is among the things I fear most. I want to be able to live my life safely as who I am without becoming another statistic.

night mares and not being able to make it.

I have two greatest fears.

#2: When I die Deb will bury me as "Robert."

#1: I will get Alzheimers and forget that I ever transitioned and will be left only with the memories of the horrible life I had before.

Oh and damn CLOWNS!! Keep forget them....
Mimes are OK just creepy...but who thought the idea of a fun loving character for children would be a clown???

When Lucas was getting ready to produce The Fantom Menace, he told the designer of Darth Mahl to make a drawing of his greatest fear.  He was then asked to go back and draw his second greatest fear because he had given Lucas a drawing of a clown.

I just wanted to mention that very few U. S. states or municipalities (if any) have any laws on the books regarding who may or may not use a given restroom. If someone threatens arrest, you're perfectly within your rights to demand to know what the charge would be.

In all likelyhood it would be trespass.

#1: I will get Alzheimers and forget that I ever transitioned and will be left only with the memories of the horrible life I had before.

Oh my. Hadn't thought of that, but considering the family history that's bound to appear on my list from now on.
Of course, it's also possible the Alzheimer's will cause a regression into a five-year-old girl.

Terrible fear of mine. Or that the doctors will refuse to treat me and believe it's some psychosis because I'm bipolar (another take on that).

I'm terribly afraid of my bipolar disorder and what it does to me.

[rhondabythebay]

Being 48, I'm afraid that HRT will kill me with an embolism before I can fully transition.
