Gender Confirmation and Reconciliation

One thing that I was thinking about this week as I get closer and closer to the day that I go full-time (still about six to eight months off but I am sure that it will fly by in an instant) and as I continue to live a schizophrenic dual existence, was the best way to explain to others what I have gone through and what I am going through in the process of transition.

It isn't an easy subject to approach as it is full of emotion and primal instinct. I think the main reason it isn't easy for most people to understand is that people don't usually think about their gender - ever and when they do it often involves sex. Most people know they have more in common with one gender than the other and know that gender is a central factor in who they are attracted to. Comfort and attraction aren't things that can be explained rationally, they are emotional and instinctual - just like gender.
