Yeah i second that.  It is amazing you your perspective shifts once you can be happy with yourself.  I used to drink and do other things to try to fight off the deep depression that I had learned to live with since childhood.  I had a totally negative outlook on life and "the glass was always half empty" (well considering how much i drank it was totally empty).  However, once i started addressing the issue I felt alot better.  Then once I started HRT,

HOLE COW watch out I was giddy all the time.  I think the mechanics I used to work with thought I was nuts!!!  But I didn't care, Even once they found out about my being trans (before I was totally out) and gave me a ration of ->-bleeped-<-.  Actually that made life even funnier.  Just imagine a 50+ year old man yelling across the parking lot of the Semitruck repair shop to me "hey show us your teets"!!!!!     What a riot.  I survived over a year working with a few rednecks who didn't think that I was quite right.  But I kept a positive attitude.  It just goes to show how your attitude is what shapes your reality.

that is great to hear.
I work at a redneck male dominated, gossipy, and sort of a generally combative work environment.

I came into work last week with my hair tied back in a barrette and 2 bobby pins in the front to keep my bangs out of my eyes. Responses ranged from "cool hair" from the more open minded types, to you are a freak from the a*ses out there, to embarrassment from the quite types. The embarrassment response sort of confused me. I didn't quite expect that one at first. The embarrassment sort of faded away after they realized that I'm still the same likable person they already knew.

don't worry, if your being yourself that's fine.

Just a suggestion by the way- learn not to smudge your face with make-up as I see on your profile- it looks too pale and it just doesn't seem right. forget the red lipstick too- although it looks sexy sometimes.

Not that I know make-up because I don't but try to learn how to do it so that it looks good- find a female friend, look on the net or ask a pro for help.- just offering help.

thats a old photo, it was washed out and i tried playing with it in photoshop to bring up the chroma.

but, i been much lighter on the makeup recentally. too much looks fake.

thanks !

i'm not trans anything anymore so i've got to agree with tink.  terrific answer!

Well that makes three of us then. The last time I was here I've gone full time for 7 years. I don't think I even gave a thought about transexuality during those seven years until I was retired from my last job a couple of years ago. I got very lonely, you know, loneliness leads to depressing and it would make a good runner up in second place to GID if you ask me. I just felt very anxious, still do, I need to find someplace where I could feel useful again, then "lo and behold" I find the link for this place and so I'm back.

I don't think there isn't anything wrong with returning  to this place. One can learn much as they go around trying to help others. You see,  for me this is how a zebra keeps her stripes because that is the way I am made inside.

This does it: now I'm starting to hear voices. To wit, Freddie Mercury going 'Woo-oo, pain is so close to pleasure'. Thanks...

There are good things about being trans?
oh....
i seem to have missed that party
R

There are good things in everybody's life, Rachael.

Life is what you make of it.  So make something good.

good things yes, being trans isnt one of them
R

It can be a liability or it can be an empowering thing.

Empower yourself.

oh i am, just not through being trans...
i can stand up for myself without that crutch so many choose.
