Hi Soldierjane, you are a beautiful looking lady to start with, nit picking aside, we are who we feel our inner selves to be, and if we look the part on the outside, then that is a bonus. I do so agree with your post bellow.
QuoteI ticked "It's OK, but I'd rather not be", which means that given the choice I'd have preferred being born GG. Being trans, at the price of much pain, forces us to learn to question the established, to not dread movement from our station in life and to seek out our own happiness. Our pursuit makes us wiser. This is the best feature about being trans that I can think of.
Hi Beyond, if your Avatar is a real photo of you, you are one gorgeous looking lady, realy, I would kill for a head of hair like that. Well not literally, I couldn't even kill a bug.
As for my choice, I certainly would have much prefer to be born GG and lived my life as a GG instead of being on the side lines eating my heart out for most of my life wishing I could live as one. Well I did the next best. I hung around other women at least as much as I was allowed to, well, without making a nuisance of myself. I helped change diapers, and done a lot of babysitting, had 11 children in my care at one time or another through my life. The last ones was five years ago, one girl two boys. Went shopping with the ladies helped them pick out what clothes to wear. picked out and bought clothes for them for special occasions. Preferred getting into conversation with women, it was a lot more interesting then the guy stuff, although I did the guy stuff for a while, but it wasn't realy my cup of tea.
"Sure I would have preferred being born 100% GG!!!" but I am grateful for at least having the opportunity of playing the roll as who I should have been to start with. And be grateful and enjoy it for what ever years I may have left. Like most here I have traveled a long arduous journey, but as I see it I have finally come home to rejoin the fold. That is my opinion and not necessarily anyone else's, what the H do I know anyway huh.
I keep plodding forward, one foot ahead of the other, a quitter I am not. This weeks news in Cindy's life is that I have a very good possible opportunity to be one of the founders for an employment agency for trans folks here in Vancouver, and I am also involved in helping to build a web site, a Trans Message Center, something like a trans news paper if you will. This is what I live for, anything, no mater how little or big it is. The good part is that I know how it feels to fall flat on my nose then get up and brush the dust off my knees and just keep moving on forward, without missing a stride. So loosing is nothing to fear and winning would certainly be so welcomed and rewarding, I would be the happiest woman in the this country. To try and make a different in other peoples lives, both at the woman's shelter and the TS community are my greatest desire and goal. I never liked living in a city but in this case it has been so worth it and me cart is a gittin full.
Ya'll have a wonderful day.
Cindy
