Title: Hi (again) :)
Post by: Dee on December 07, 2006, 05:46:43 PM
Hello everyone :)

Im not new, but since its been such a long time since Ive posted, I decided to introduce myself again.  Life changes you over time, and Im almost a completely different person these days.  When I last frequented these forums, I was a self-hater.  When I felt like a man, I was disgusted with my ideas of femeninity.  When I felt like a woman, I felt sorry for my masculine side for being so near-sighted.  LOL!  I know this is a fairly common problem, but Im thinking I handled it less heroically than most.  Looking back, I think I was heading for serious phsychological issues.  In all seriousness, I wonder how close I was to developing a split personality.

Luckily, I recombobulated back into one personality inwhich I embrace myself entirely.  Yay!  Now when Im in a masculine mode, and I look down and see painted toenails, I just smile instead of grimmacing.  These days I find myself feeling femenine a great deal more, to the point where its about 90% of the time, instead of maybe 10% a couple of years ago.  I think this is because Im no longer ashamed of my nature.  In the past, I was always stiffling it since I knew it would lead to frustration and confusion, but now that threat is gone.  Sometimes I feel like Im meeting myself for the first time, but then that sensation washes away and there is only familiararity left behind.

Im not sure if I will ever come out, or move away to start a new life (HRT is my Mt. Everest), but I know that Im happy now.  And God, that beats the pants off of.... well, everything :)

Hey there Dee.

So where the heck have you been.  It's good to see you back.  Hopefully you won't find that much has changed, and if it has I hope that it was for the better :)

Again welcome back.

Steph

Hi Dee,
I has been awhile and is so good to have you back.
Me will I've got two personalities, so I figure I'm a bigender.
My female side is very much transexual and my male side is very passive.
Wee...............
Anyway it's good to have you back and I'm glad you are feeling better.
:) :)
