Well Well Well

I think I have turned a corner - Last night was the first time I have felt that I do not want my TG side to leave me. I have come so far and it would be dissapointing if it just all went away.

Last night was the first time I said "I like Al (alan & Alice)" and ment it. Last night I told myself I am female and it did not bother me and in fact was excited.

And today I have put on my wig and felt very comfortable like I was not trying to hid myself.

Gee - I hope this is a the start of my total acceptance. I still do not know where I am headed but hopfully I can now enjoy the ride.

Anyone else go through this?

Alice

To be honest, no. When I figured out what was wrong it was quite unmistakable. But, I do not quite relate to things like many it seems.

So, this said, I agree with you Alice, it seems like you have accomplished something neat!

Way to go Alice. Though I too am finding the same as the other Kimberly that I am not experiencing a lot of the things you all do ( there are a few reasons for this I think ), I am happy to hear when one is travelling along so greatly, and really accepting herself for who she is.

Thanks Lucy and the others who have responded

Alice,

We found the word transition means different things within this community.

We can learn from others but which path we travel is the one we choose.

Good for you!

Wow, That is really terrific Alice. I'm especially impressed by "I still do not know where I am headed but hopfully I can now enjoy the ride." We can plan all we want but in the end we don't know where we are going to end up. For me, I think that accepting life as it unfolds, is approaching enlightenment. A letting go of the control we want to have over our lives and accepting our life as it unfolds.

I'll say it again, wow!! You need to do something to celebrate.

Debbie

Congratulations Alice.

Short answer: Not exactly.
Long answer: I pretty much knew from the start I needed to transition in some capacity with living fulltime as a female at a minimum.  Within a short time, I knew I needed a full transition including SRS.  I knew I was TS, but I did spend some time reviewing my entire life from a new point of view.  After enough time reviewing which resulting in dropping all denial, I finally broke down and went from the mindset of "I want to be female" to "I am female and need to transition" and at the same time, it went from seeing it as an adventure to seeing it as a way out of misery.  I had never experienced true happiness from being alive and therefore was quite unaware of exactly the amount of pain I had been in my entire life.  I guess it's kind of like being born blind and not realizing that you wished you had eyesight until you discover that people are supposed be able to see.  And then futher discovering that there is a route you can take to gain what you were missing back.  Well, I hope that helps anyhow.

Yup.

Juss like ah tole ya hon!

Oh Alice!  Of course you are!  I have known this for a long time now, and now I am glad that you've finally accepted it.   

tink

Hmm,

Why does everyone think I am female - just look at my body.

I just saw the Thread - what is your greatest fear. Well for me it is relising I am TS.

Hi Alice,I was invited out for beers with the guys and it was great until I realized it was all wrong I'm not one of the guys,  I'm one of the girls. I almost outed myself, I'm not ready for that just yet. I recently admitted to myself that I'm a woman and that feels right. I'm really messed up  right now about how i feel about myself, but admitting i'm a woman is the most "right " I have ever done. accepting this is reaaly new to me. Accept yourself for who you are and accept no less.  I hope this makes sense to you.
