It's My Life, Not A 'Lifestyle'

One thing I hear from our opponents and people struggling to grapple with transgender issues as they come into contact with us is erroneously saddling us with the 'lifestyle' tag.
I love Monica; she is wonderful! Gee...I am also sick and tired of all this "lifestyle" crap >:(. Lifestyle implies choice and sorry but I didn't "choose" to be born transsexual. Hello? but I honestly don't think that there is a sane person in this planet who would "choose to become" TS. ::) That is just plain stupid! Morons!

Agreed!!
Although I appreciate certain things about my life; I cannot imagine wishing this on even my worst enemy. It ain't "fun" and certainly wasn't a choice.
Mayo is a choice. Period!!
Nichole
..and one more thing...since when is being a woman is a "lifestyle", huh?

I'm with you girls on this one. I mean, I don't think it is a "lifestyle" to be trans at all. I mean, yes, it is a process, a journey, etc. to transition. But transition isn't what my life is about. My life is about being me, and transition is part of reaching that physically.
