Dear Margo: I am a girl who just turned 25 (and, by the way, I was born a boy). You may have heard stories about transgender people who are aware, even as young children, of what their situation is. Not me. In my case, the confusion lasted until about eight months ago. I am currently in the process of transitioning to life as a woman. I live as a female 100 percent of the time while at home, and about 60 percent of the time when I go out. I would like to be "full time" ASAP, but this is problematic due to the physical realities of the transition process. For example, I am not allowed to shave or wear makeup 24 hours prior to facial electrolysis appointments. My problem is my mother. She is one of those people who professes, "I am open-minded, I am accepting," but she doesn't act like it.
