Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Just curious as to how others rate their experience being trans from discovery to beyond. My experience has been all over the board , painful , sad . interesting , frustrating , shameful , etc. Mostly I think frustrating.

I'd just describe it as a learning experience.  :)

All of these at various times! Overall it's been kind of fun, definitely not what I expected.

Mind bendingly awesome

manageable

weird

learning experience

And quit a bit of hard work

It does vary from day to day, but for me awesome is the predominant one.

It's been different. On the most part wonderful because I'm now me and not some shell of a person going around who is barely existing. Hugs

It's definitely been Mind bendingly awesome and overall a very positive experience. It does take work and dedication, but the results have been so rewarding and in many ways I feel lucky to have experience living in the world as two different genders in a single lifetime, something very unique and gives a unique perspective of life.

the experience of my past was painful , but since transition it's been awesome

some days mind bendingly awesome and other days a little overwhelmed. i mean we are learning to do make up and stuff in an extremely short time and that in itself is overwhelming since cis take years. and sometimes the road ahead seems long and the mountain high

I was thinking about that today growing up cis and learning the tricks to doing hair and fashion and the 3 years so far I've tried to learn everything

It has been a very mixed bag. It started out fun and full of learning opportunities. It progressed through scary times when I learned that my being transgender is not something that I could control but that it owned me. This has taken some time to wrap my head around. Since that point it has been a blend of a large dollop of AWESOME mixed with regular doses of pain, primarily from watching the suffering that my friends are forced to experience as they morn my passing. I would not give it up for anything but many time the tears shed show the hurting. My wife and I have gained so so very much but the price has been high.

true anne, my sister alternates between accepting and rejecting. imo the price is worth every effort

My very limited experience is that it has been life affirming, years of knowing something was not right has now turned into a "I thought so". I started praying to be a woman when I was twelve. But God is a sly guy and decided not to answer until I was 64. Those darn Republicans. Taking up all his time.

I would characterize it as "over and done with."

one of those choices should have been.......... "beats the damned alternative"............

I go through alot of uncomfortable things, have to deal with things that none of my friends understand, and have this odd personalization of some topics.  At the same time, I experience alot of euphoria from this, so...
