Is there anything about your transition in general that that you never thought it could be possible but now it is?  Try to stay positive

I never thought my family would accept me
I never thought I could ever live fulltime as a girl
I never thought my parents could introduce me to their friends as their daughter.

You are right, good things do happen sometimes.

I never thought my sister would accept me, she did.
I never knew my brother co-authored a book with a post op collegue.

Well at this point I have only a couple:

- I never thought I could pass in public.
- I never thought I could find a counselor because of some very unique life circumstances.

Both of these have proven false!

I'm still busy living the "nevers" sorry

Wow, many things...don't blame me if I lose it naming them... 

I never thought I could stand up one day and say that my transition was finally over.

I never thought I'd be so happy at the end of the road despite the things and people that I have lost.  Life does give you lots of surprises!

I never thought I could ever love my body.

I never thought I could fall in love with a man who had walked the same path as I have (only in the opposite direction) 

I never thought I would be typing any of this.  You see what you have done, Valentina?

I never thought I could feel this *alive*.

There's a great line in an older Excaliber type movie where Arthur says something like...




~Kate~

i never thought i could be alive.  i'm glad i am!

I never thought I'd have a husband.

I never thought I'd marry an FTM.

I never thought I'd still be working at age 70+.

I never thought we'd have a home on Maui.

*  I never thought I could transition

*  I never thought I could transition, and keep my family intact

*  I never thought I would actually look like a somewhat cute older woman

*  I never thought I could tell anyone, ever

*  I never thought I could work at a job, change my voice, and be accepted as female

*  I never thought I'd ask for jewelry or perfume for Christmas, LOL!

*  I never thought the love of my life would love me more than ever after transition

I could easily post a hundred things especially how my life has turned now that I have begun dating "normal" men and gay or bi women after SRS AND gotten sober.

I never ever dreamed that I would have a man say "Let me see that beautiful face" over and over again while making love.

I never thought I would be able to be intimate with men and women and remain in "stealth."

I never thought that I would have to worry about "What will he say if and when I disclose" and at what point do I have to disclose? (I am thinking after a marriage proposal?)
I never thought I would have a 27 year old boy friend tell me I look like a model
I never thought I would have a 24 year old bi-girl friend who thinks I am hot
I never thought I would be eight months clean and sober
I never thought I would be looked at as a role model as a sober AA woman
I never thought I would be invited to speak about my successful path to sobriety at woman's only AA meetings
I never thought women would look to me fo advice on their marital and domestic relationships
I never thought a man would tell me I have "beautiful shoulders"
I never thought I would have a date with an FBI agent (tomorrow night) and not be in handcuffs (well actually I might put him in handcuffs) Dominatrix that I am...

I never thought that I'd feel uncomfortable in an FTM support group. I went to one with a friend and felt so out of place! I'm transitioned now -- all beard and bass -- and I'm just living my life as a normal guy. I never thought that'd be possible!

Also: I never thought the girl that sits across from me would ever in a million years like me...

i never thought i'd lose my virginity to A MAN!

I never thought Id pass
I never thought Id be able to start HRT
I never thought Id be able to transition period
I never thought Id know what love or happyness were
I never thought Id actualy want to live

Rock On!!

I never thought life could bring happiness.  I never thought I had a job I love.  I never thought Id travel all over the world promoting fashion.  I never thought this life could be possible.

Neither did I. When will you be in San Francisco?

I'm still living all the nevers right now.  Namely that I'll never pass. Pre-HRT and pre-transition. Maybe a lot of you lucky ones were self conscious or something before - but I REALLY don't think I'll ever really pass. I'm starting to wonder if I should even bother chasing happiness anymore.

I never thought happiness really existed.
I never thought dreams were real

I never thought I would get out of depression - now I can see some light.

We'll be in America (Arizona, Colorado & California) the week of Easter 2008.  We'll be staying in the Ojai Valley Inn And Spa in Santa Barbara, not too far from San Francisco.  Would you like to come and see us?  You do need an invitation but I'm sure I could manage to get you one.
