Title: Hi. I'm Patch (not my real name)
Post by: patch on January 20, 2008, 06:40:56 PM
I actually don't have a Christian name just one name, some what like Madonna, Cher and Prince but unlike them I don't think that I will ever be rich or famous. My mother named me Patrick for my Christian name so I've partially adopted this and now it's Miss Patricia only as a surname, although some people will never feel comfortable at calling me anything other than Pat. One of the happiest and more memorable incidences over the last couple of years was the first time my brother called me his sister. I know what your thinking she is easy pleased. Ironically I grew up feeling that I was betraying myself denying my sex and sexuality these days I feel I'm betraying my brother. This could just be the guilt of being a monozygotic (identical) twin. My brother you could say is my biological double, this gives me a rare insight to what I may have been to what I have become today. Only time will tell if I end up living with regrets as I previously had.
I've been taking hormones for several years now, so the physical changes are obvious not to mention the way I dress, but my brother has not once commented about my transsexualism. Maybe inside he is denying what I have become, but as close as we are people still judge us as twins and by each others actions. I just hope I can make it through this life without disappointing him. Apart from my brother the other great love in my life is my partner, who although considers herself straight has so much in common with myself. The two of us have been burdened with circumstances where we are both suing the government for being unlawfuly incarcerated. She was detained for 10 months by the authoritories for giving a false name where I was incarcerated for 2 1/2 months for giving my true name, they believed her and did'nt believe me. Maybe I don't have a honest face.

Thats a small part of the story the life of Patricia including the loves and disasters, well keep in touch luv to hear from ya...... Regards Pat

Welcome Patricia,

What an incredible gift you have.  At least I hope it is a gift and not a curse.

I do hope that your brother is proud of you, loves you and shares with you.  I imagine that from what you say that you have no intention of allowing your brother to be disappointed with you.  You will do just fine. 

Hopefully you will continue to post and enlighten us all of your experiences.

Jenny
