Transition Isn't About The Inside, It's About The Outside

It's funny how these things just creep up on you and suddenly epiphany you out of your chair. Transitioning isn't about the inside. It's about the outside.
I was born male. Even though I'm a computer programmer by day, an arguably "male" dominated career (and no, I don't want to argue it) it doesn't really make me happy. I just happened to more or less accidentally become a programmer. If I could, I'd be a fiction author. Maybe even a Reiki healer or massage therapist. Or ... who knows. I love to cook. I love to be creative. I love to help people. I'm sensitive. I'm caring. And in general it's gotten me taken advantage of a lot. But I wouldn't change a thing, because people need help, and at least so far I'm still smiling. (Well, mostly. All of life is a pendulum. We have our off days.) Point is, there is a lot of my personality that is feminine. And if I could, if the universe aligned, I'd transition in a heartbeat.
I disagree! :P Yes, I know we've always been female on the inside, but I am afraid that not too many people have come to this realization. A person has to transition mentally as well in order to say that they have successfully transitioned; otherwise you get what you normally get with some people, the idea that you were "a man" who "became" a woman (i.e, "different", "special", "out of the ordinary")
