Title: Patience can be a beautiful thing
Post by: michelleh on November 21, 2016, 01:39:41 AM
Hi,

Here is my story I can see I missed out on my youth being a girl. Transitioning is both scary and exciting for me at 59 years old over 11 months on HRT. I transitioned in front of my co-workers and boss. I personally think many trans girls are more beautiful than CIS females more times than you think. I would expect that considering we are judge by a different standard. My co-workers are just now beginning to call me by the pronoun she all the time that's right. I am legally a she period except in people's mind they can be very inflexible. With many friends I over hear them discuss me as a him which I immediately dissect with I am not a him I am a her. Complexity is this is with an enough wrong gendering it really wears your confidence down with social dysphoria. I call this negative reinforcement. I personally am a fairly good looking lady I got 5 complements about how beautiful I look in church one older male said I was the most beautifully dressed and looking. Now here is what is crazy is being girly pretty and socially I am a male. REALLY!!! When one or two misgender me others start doing it. This dooms me to a masculine gender with new people having to claw my way out with over compensating. I can now easily pass by physical appearance.

Problem #2 my HRT doesn't compare well with others timeline on the Susan's Place blog, it will take a lot of TLC maybe 2-3 years not months to achieve satisfaction. I don't have unlimited funds to do FFS or VFS, BA but, I will achieve doing GRS.

Problem #3 Our new political environment is toxic for Transgender Women.

Please Respond,
