Life Runs Counter to Form, Sometimes
Posted December 2, 2008
http://radnichole.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/life-runs-counter-to-form-sometimes/So, today, yesterday when this is published and you'll read it, I talked a bit about a flagging interest in internet forums that discuss "trans" issues: from finding a therapist, to having elektro, to seeing an endo, to having various surgeries, to learning to live one's life in a new register and making one's way into that comfort level of life where you just "do it:" Nike guys and gals.
So, wouldn't ya know it. I sorta manage to get button-holed on a different sort of forum (I won't name it) by someone who's having her doubts about how to proceed with her life and .... Well, I didn't turn down the chance to chat with her. I did recommend a couple or three internet forums as being good places to get some input and recommended another friend who hasn't been too long at her new life for her to contact and possibly discuss some of her questions with.
Thought that would be best simply because, to be honest, sometimes closer is better for pointing out problems and pitfalls that memory may eradicate from the perspective of someone who's done the deed long ago. The troubles and the elations are a bit closer, more vivid and sometimes all new frames-of reference arise in the years that intervene between times people enter into their endeavors.
