Title: Wow just be who you want to be forget about what others think.
Post by: JessicaF1971 on February 28, 2010, 07:38:59 PM
Folks, I love that there is intense, heated debate about all sorts of issues in here, that is what has recently drawn me to this site.  We really do talk and debate, and that is what links us all.  When you go to the so called "mens" gay or gay like sites, its all about how big is your thingy and when are you coming to my town next. 

I just want to stat might point of view for the record.  You may agree you may not and I accept all sides, I love all people and we all have our individual hurdles to over come.

Me personally I love who I am and who I was and who I will be.  I love some of the stereo types and I had some of them.  I pick and chose the ones that fit me and I feel comfortable with.  I love to try and be real limp with my wrists and try to walk like cis-girls do.  But I also like to throw a football like a man and guzzle a nice dark beer every once in a while.  I like to cross my legs like a girl when I where a skirt but sometimes since I still have a thingy I like to let it breath a little.

I am going to become the woman I want to be, it may be "a-la-carte" but hey it is my way I am not going to let anyone tell me to do something that I either don't believe in or doesn't fit me.  Sometimes I do like some friendly advice about womanly features that I just haven't been exposed to so I am not rigid either, I am still growing as a person and I have only had 6 months to be a woman.  Most girls get at least 14-16 years before society throws them into one box or another.  So give me 15 years before my female persona has been set

That is enough from my soap box.  I know I am new here but I want you all to know that I love you all.  You know why?  We all have different stories but most of us share one huge common thing, we were all not born exactly how we wanted to be and we  have all struggled, and fought through some serious setbacks and obstacles.  That makes us all bonded to each other, no matter how differently we have each taken to our transition.

Only Thirty days until I go under the knife for the first time in Chonburi.  I am looking forward to it more each and every day that I come to this site.  I know bad things can happen but isn't that the case with life in general. 

I got to my parents home today in Florida and will stay here for 3 weeks before returning to Nashville and seeing my kids and my ex for the last time as a "man."  Anytime they see me again they will have to see me as myself.  It may be many months as I am moving to China after the surgery but that is a good thing in this time of transition.  I love my folks and I feel some peace here that I couldn't feel in Nashville.  It should be nice relaxing prelude to Chonburi.

Thanks folks,
Jess ;D
