I don't think people want to live open and honestly and TS represent everything they are too afraid to do for themselves. I have never met another person that was so honest and open about everything as a TS. People live in rigid societies produced boxes and fear keeps them in there. I'm sure there are a few that really don't have any issues, could care less, but for the most part, most people are more concerned with how they look, and what people think of them.

You will never get the level of honesty that TS give, out of non TS folk. I also think its an IQ level thing and the ability to think and reason beyond what you know. There is nobody that scans every cell of their brain like a TS before transition. Every dark corner is researched and filleted out under a microscope for examination before caving into a faith filled leap into the unknown. Not many people examine themselves nor need to. I know my mind races so hard on some days that I am actually tired. People cannot appreciate how much effort I have put into the day. I may not have walked 10 ft but I worked ten times harder than people around me just in keeping my issue at bay not to mention all my daily routine of work, kids, house.

I'm beginning to understand why its possible to find happiness after transition. 99% of my resourses are used in transitional thoughts. If I could free that energy and resourses up for other things.....I cannot imagine what I could accomplish in life.

Anyhow...most people I know seem very immature, young, and totally incapable of every hoping to understand what a real TS is and what they go through. As long as there are she-males, cross dressers and ->-bleeped-<-s and TS under that same transgender umbrella, TS will be confused in that same group and treated as gay men that just want sex or however society wants to view them.

I don't have anything against the others under that umbrella...I'm just not one of them and have no idea why I'm there.

And one day I'll be able to spell "resources" as well when I'm not using them all for this TS thing   :icon_rolleyes2:

Well, we have a thread "myths in the community that need to die a quick death"

It caused a heated debate in the past, but here it is anyway...  >:D

That I am dying to talk about my genitals, life, hormones and reproductive choices. After that it would be that FTMs don't exist and so I must want to be a woman and I just do a really bad job at it. I guess the one that drives me nuts the most "how do you know"?

Thanks Tink, I suspect that every topic that I have an interest in has been debated many times over here at Susans... I should
search more :) Some of you must get so tired of the same old questions.... I'm so sorry :)

YEah, discussed many times.
But, ranting is good for the soul  ;) or not  :D

My biggest peave is that when I tell somebody, or they find out because
I had to tell them for whatever reason, they allways act like off course
they knew or had doubts when I know for sure that its not the case.

Its like a MTF is obvious and we are delusional to even think we can
"pull it off"... Off course, a good looking MTF is unthinkable to them...

Ya don't even have to go that far, Keira. An MTF that looks pleasant, average, pretty, cute or even plain is generally pretty unthinkable for many people, some TSes as well I would imagine.

I really don't think most people expect anything but 'man in a dress.' Even with Candis Cane on prime-time tv in USA.

I am.   But it's not your fault so you don't have to apologize.   :)

I think it's a good issue to go through for people who haven't been clubbed over the head by it.  There are other issues too that you might discover that the rest of us burnt out on.

I think there are enough new people to start up the fires again.  People can't get to know each other any better than by arguing endlessly over some crazy idea.    >:D

Just, everyone should remember to be polite and it's okay if others disagree with you. no one knows everything and most of what we think we know is just gibberish and opinions.  In my opinion.

And another one: "So you and you're wife aren't married anymore, right?"

INSTANT assumption whenever I'd tell someone. Either that we split up, are about to, or HAD to since transitioning nullified the marriage.

That's probably true. Besides, Reebs gets antsy for action when we mods have no 'bouncer' duties to perform.

She's such a macho-girl!!
