As a transgender person, or more specifically, as a transsexual woman - I have had the unique opportunity to blend more than one life experience into a single lifetime. Each of us reconciles this particular situation in our heads in different ways and there is no one right or wrong way to get comfortable with it all. Some of us find a need to distance ourselves or even reject our previous lives in order to move forward in our new one. Others find ways to integrate the two in some way that makes sense for us. And, just as there is no one right strategy so too do our needs and our perceptions of ourselves change over time. It can get very complicated.
