my goal is to improve my life and don't make it worse than it is.

Here are my top few goals, limited to transsexualism.

1. To get GRS this year.
2. To form a meaningful relationship with a boyfriend, and agree to get "not married."
3. To repair my relationship with my family, and if this proves impossible - to choose a new one.
4. To continue to give as much support as possible as part of the Susan's support team. (Important!)
5. To one day have a slumber party with the people I care about most: Evelyn, LynnER, Maud, Ilsa, Buffy, and Brandi.

I suppose it can be summed up in saying, to be happy, nothing more nor less.

to live a productive life.

"As a transsexual", I really don't have any.  Since I completed my transition many years ago, the transsexual aspects of my life have all but disappeared.

I have many goals and objectives.  Every couple of years when I complete my list, I prepare a new one.  It's funny that 20 years ago, I prepared my life list... everything that I wanted to do in my life.  I completed that list only 5 years later.  My professional career has come to an end.  It was unplanned but it happened at a good time... while I was still young!

Now my goals include writing, making music, and designing and building beautiful things in wood.  I've purchased some new instruments and I'm learning to play them.  I'm doing some new designs in my little business.  If I were to tie it all together into one goal it would be that I mean to create art for the rest of my life.  It will take form in word, music, and wood.

Yippee!

To live exactly how I want to and no other way, to feel comfortble in my own skin, to form relationships with people who accept me for who I am not my biological history, to form a relationship with someone and sexually be comfortable, to not conform to any stereotypes of gender, and to ultimately be happy which as male I never could be.

Somehow, I don't think you would dare try that with me. 

My goal? To one day put it all behind me and forget about being TS. Simple.

I'm still not completely sure what my goals are.  I am no longer TS and like others I plan to put that part of my life behind me, not to deny that I ever was, but to look forward to my future, whatever that holds.

My immediate  goal is to recover from SRS, and get back to work.  After that who knows.  I do plan on staying with Susan's unless she has other ideas and I still plan on helping the community as best I can.  In fact I have another interview scheduled for this month with a research group from Brock University on TS issues.

I have a great job with a major international school bus company and I plan on continuing with them for as long as I can, and finally I plan on continuing to have fun dancing, and fooling around with guys   - Hey a girl has to have fun.

^^^^^ What they said

Kate

to be at peace with myself and thus be able to enjoy my life

Initially I set out to survive, now it is to prosper....

Buffy

To be happy and comfortable with my life and body.  To get the gender issues out of the way, so I can focus on the normal parts of life.

I have put my transsexualism behind me now. I really don't have any goals, I like my job and I don't have any money worries, so I really don't have any goals. What I do is cause trouble, not intentionally. It just happens, you see I have this foot and ever since I was a baby I like it in my mouth.

Sheila, you are too cute!  That is funny.

I know that it is hard to think of anything else while transitioning.  But if you can, it is a very good idea to keep a goals and objectives list.   When you are done with transition, it won't be.  Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to have your life on hold for the duration?  It doesn't take much to get on with your life while you are transitioning.... it can be something little like a hobby.

I've seen some of my friends experience a great emptiness after transition and they lose time from their lives while they get their act together.  It is unfortunate in some ways.

Chin up!

Thank you, Cindi
Sheila

1. to lose my ever present fear
2. to stop beating myself up for giving in to feelings of guilt and fear
3. to be able to survive - happily.

I ain't askin' for much!

To leave behind this pass of hell and make it on my own...
To do what I want, and do all I can...
To be sucessful in what I choose...
To well, be me
To have GRS before the end of the year
To finaly find happynes somewhere, and not at the bottom of a bottle or bag of something else 

Above all, my goal is to not be TS, to not let it rule my life... to let this phase of my life fade into distant memory and just live and be me 

my goals are the same, no matter what:

To live, to love, and to experience what life has to offer including the ups, downs, and inbetweens. 

Hmmmmm I really haven't thought of myself as a transsexual for a very long time.  I suppose that my goal in life has definitely changed over the years somewhat.
When I was a child, my goal was to have many dolls, dresses, long hair, my nails polished just to be happy.  During my teens my goal was  to be loved by a guy, be kissed for the first time, and pass all my tests at school also in an effort to be happy.  Now as an adult, my goal is to be successful in my career in oder to be happy as well.  So what common denominator have I sought during my life?  Just one:  Happiness.

Goals as a transsexual?  None.
Goals as a woman - I was top woman finisher at the Hornet Nationals last season. My goal is to actually win a main event.
I want to learn to scuba dive.
Others include: Finish my book, get published, finish my latest stained glass windmill, finish my family album and get copies to Mom and all 8 brothers and sisters.
I did have to give up on one goal. I have been trying to get Andy and his daughters to reconcile. I guess there has been too much water under the bridge. Andy is never going to see eye-to-eye with the rest of his family and they don't care to compromise their position either.

More goals in life to be added as experience in life is added.
