To be honest Kate, I'm not expecting much at my age, for instance I know I'll never look like Paris Hilton(!), but I would just like some physical acknowledgement that I should have been a woman, a clean face and an A-cup would be fine. At present I'm in the early stages of counselling with a qualified lady who has had alot of experience with gender indentity clients. She has confirmed that I am transgendered, based on my bio and ever present feelings. She has told me that my features and build are not overly masculine and that with some TLC I could be made to pass without too much difficulty, but would need to do an enormous amount of work on my voice and diction - I have the most awful local accent (sounds like ol' farmer Giles!). My other hurdle involves my spouse, who was initially shocked when I came out to her. Although she is understanding she would like it to be a secret between us, with family, neighbours and friends never knowing - I know in my heart that would be impossible as I am fairly well known in our district, having run a business in the area for years. Thanks so much for your interest in me.
