I'm in a complete minority but I think this forum is for another kind of trannsexual to ones like me, though there's going to be similarities it's also going to cause miscommunication.
When I was 8 or 9 years old from that moment of complete realisation reading at reading that newspaper article, seeing that picture of a man who transformed into a woman, I knew that was who I was and I denied it, why? Because of the complete loyalty and love of my mum.
So I would ask people to not think they love someone less by being true to themself, you're actually not loving that person you don't want to hurt by not being true and open.
I'm 'lucky' in that I've never wanted a high-falutin career happy to sing at weddings and at small venues, I've fallen in love with women but never willing to have a child, and having children and raising them to be fantastic human beings is the greatest thing anyone can ever do and something that would fufill me completely.
This is has all gotten incredibly complicated because I'm sexually attracted to men, every thought in that regard is a man and a woman. But I can only ever think of falling in love with other women. I think this is classic female thought, get pregnant and the man moves on.
Typing here actually clarrifies though, but I am thinking how did you majority of older people have careers and children while forced into a male role? Society can go do a ->-bleeped-<-ing jump would I compomise that much.
Anyway only love defeated me, and that was only a postponement.
