Hi, everyone!
I'm Julie Wilson, a T-girl, pre-op wanna be from the Fresno area of California.
I have more questions than time to ask them, but I hope to learn from the collective wisdom of all those here.
From as far back as I can remember, at least as far back as age 5, I have wanted to be female. All my life I have lived with the dream of becoming a woman with a thin, curvy body and a pretty face. The older I become (44), with a manly body (6', 200#, broad shoulders, large hands and feet, masculine face), the more I become aware of just how difficult this transition is to be. Not difficult in my effort required, but difficult in the sheer scope of changing this male body for what I have desired all my life.
In my prime, about '91, I was walking down the beach at La Jolla, CA, in a one-piece swimsuit, as confident as any woman there. Now, I think about hormones vs. black cohosh and soy isoflavones (in quantity). I think about the post-9/11 world of changing ones legal identity. I think about living as an obvious male trying to be female. I think about cosmetic surgery to counter my male-ness. I wonder how taking hormones will affect my sexuality, especially where men are concerned. I wonder about....
In sum: HELP!
