Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I would like to see here if I can express, and capture my life cycle being born genetically transgender. I was born intersex, and assigned male with a  twin sister who was physically stronger, and assigned female. I was small. My neo natal years were mostly my experiencing material protection. I was slender, and learned dance and gymnastics like many girls. 8-12 were the best years of my life as I was being raised attached to my sister. My adolescence were filled with confusion and envy. Being a Cross dresser, and small I was bullied a lot. My sister and I became raised apart. At 18 I began an almost fatal venture into cis normativity I enlisted in the NAVY, and lived an industrious  life until the age of 38. My relationships were not great mostly expecting cis normativity in defense of white supremacy in the 12 step fellowships. At 40 as I was raising my own children I began to live as a woman, or transgender anyway. I developed a mind set which was attached by marriage, and what constituted a life of detachment from peers, and parents. At 60 I have developed some wisdom that gender identity is not really political ,and that we don't have to be used, manipulated or cheated because we are transgender. My life is good, and somehow dependent on faith. It is not a trend, fad, or a game I am playing as a turn on. Being a Transgender Woman after all of these years circumvents a use of self will that has purpose, virtue and serves a function. I live the telling tale of a transgender woman who lived with neo masculinity to define herself in her interpersonal relationships as a female oriented sense of of self affirmation.

After all the hardships, bullying, and alienation, I am so glad you have grown beyond the pain, WendyPeer!
