I feel hopeless. Although, I am not torn about being a woman, since I know I am. I am playing pretend being male, and I am not all that great since besides "biological" factors... I can't really become fluent in macho'ism.  Why I say biological? I think exactly like a typical woman, so there must be something different about my brain itself; the hormones, the structure of it, something. When I see a tall man, he is attractive to me (wheras gay men tend to view both tall and short as attractive), I relate to women, I am feminine, ... there's feminine men, but mine are like based on science.

I don't believe in God anymore, or heaven, or even in the devil (I was once praying to him thinking he might answer my prayers). But he's just another false deity, in my opinion, to cope with the reality of the impending doom; death. Yeah, praying to something for eternal flames after death beats being a man, lol. So logically, the time between NOW and Death is all I have. I am more or less atheist, but slightly agnostic. The answer is pretty clear... transistion or commit an early suicide. I don't mean the suicide of my human body, but the suicide of my soul.

I think about money all the time... but then reality came to me. TIME>MONEY. Time cannot be bought, but money can always be earned. So even if it cost 200k (however long it takes to get it), then it's all worth it, since I'll be happy. I maybe mad. But I'll never find true love as a man either... even if I find true love, he will want me as a woman... because a feminine soul can only go so far. (I been there trust me.... a man love me.... he only found my face attractive... and people tell me it looks like a girl.... so no brainer there).

If my family rejects me outright (I won't come out to them until I am deep in my transistion), then it's better to lose people who you are going to lose to death anyways... They can cry rivers, but it's my life, and I only have to answer to myself.

I think I am pass the point of feeling awful about being a woman... since there's nothing wrong in being a woman, so why is it shameful?

I once thought becoming a female purpose was to only attract men, but it's not it at all, but rather... men don't treat males the same as females. I am not a gay man. I am a woman. I can't relate to gay men all that much besides our attraction to men. I relate to straight people quite comfortably. I think I am cursed... but people have suffer more worse fates than myself. Even if I was never with a man again, if I age as an old ugly man I might as well die... there's really no point for me to continue on. Even being an old woman is more desirable than an old man. I rather live 10 years as a passable woman than 40 years as a man (time>money; and money="purpose of life" for a lot of people).

Yet, now that I really really see all this.... I feel so hopeless. I feel like the road to happiness... is going to be difficult, and I'll never be able to do it. But that clock... There's no time to lose.

Women are not only attaracted to tall men and gays are not attracted to ALL men.

If you are feeling that way you really should think about re evaluating your life and do whats going to make you happy. Im guessing youre in the military and the money is good. Money doesnt buy happiness, and idk how much longer you have til you can retire, but you might regret not taking the opportunity to live your life and happy while you were young when u get older.

I am having similar problems :( But I am not sure how much transitioning is helping me. Seems like I am lost as person, I wish I had made more friends honestly. I really wish money was less of a factor for our happiness. Money is useless without happiness but happiness is truly difficult to get without using money. I might be wrong but it sure seems that way.
I am wishing you the best of luck and hope you can be happy. I think the pursuit of happiness is a wonderful feeling as well. Fighting for happiness and rather than waiting for it to go away!
I had some thai friends who always say "FIGHTING!" ^^

As to religion and God. I think its there for those who need something to believe in! Some of us needs our different beliefs. I am also not 100% atheist but I believe in somethings like when I die I might get reborn as woman for my next life.. <<This makes me a little happier inside and gives me hope. You believe in what will make you happier. Religion bored and almost made me want to kill myself because of how afraid I was from demons and spirits. crazy stuff to handle as a kid, I still can't belive they tol me those stuff.

Anyways keep FIGHTING! :)

Hm. Nice thoughts to think of reincarnation.... but expect the worst and hope for the best.

I dont need money or nice things.... just to be a woman, worth more than all that I have. I rather lose my voice completely or lose my hearing and be a woman. Not my eyesight though.

I am already half dead... not much more anyone can say or do to me.

When you say it like.. I too would trade everything to be girl but not what would make me a happy girl..
Those words you use remind me a lot about me. I feel a bit ashamed seeing as I reading through what feels like my own thoughts on my daily basis. Though when I was a younger I was always thought I was a guy who liked girls so much I wanted to be one. all of my friends said "me too, I would feel my boobs" then they would laugh. I did laugh but I didn't understand why touching your boobs would be the best part. I then maybe thought I was more of a lesbian since I am so delicate like a girl. I told my friends that and they responded "Me too, I am a woman trapped in a woman's body" they would always laugh after that. I didn't get it. I didn't felt like a normal guy but all my friends say they feel the same. I think now if I transition to girl would my friends really think I was a "guy who loved women so much he turned into one". I sure don't feel like guy, thinking about being a girl doesn't turn me on. It makes me happy.

I kind of wanted to share this while re reading your post. I am not much help but I am actually looking forward to seeing you happy one day. When I say happy I mean a happy woman :)) I also hope I can be a happy girl.. We can only know if we continue to move on, that much I know :)

Hey Wildflower

Some very interesting comments on this thread.  Regarding God and sin, I would find it very hard to imagine that an omnipotent god would still be applying knowledge and judgements that were relevant 2,000 years ago.  If he exists, he knows that we have cars, vaccines,  Fox News and gender reassignment surgery.

While I have no personal religion, I do know that some religions view the tortured souls amoungst us as people who have been set very specific spiritual challenges, and I'd view being transgender as one such challenge.  Does this mean that we must suffer, not vaccinate ourselves, or endure being in the wrong body?  Absolutely not!   Our lives are complex, but self-realisation is not forbidden by God.  We are not harming children, animals or society as a whole.  Therefore my advice is to listen to your inner voice and strive to make yourself happy. 

Regards
Julia
