RE: Intro: Am I Transgender Anymore?
Hello Zoe, I'm new here too, but not new to alternative life styles.
Seems as far as Gender goes, something is misfiring in my eyes.
tto much media coverage, too many choices as to what or who a adolescent or child for that matter can decide in these areas.
I'm still a believer in 2 genders, and so are my alternative friends, none has has ever claimed to be any other sex than the 1 they were born with, as much as they wanted otherwise.
That being said, I am more than open to a dialog with someone who has made the extreme leap of surgery.
But will not mince my words, in my endeavor to further understand your insecurities, or to help you understand that, the vast majority of humans
will never be able to relate,or even care to relate to your issues, they are very unique to say the least.
Thanks to social media, the population is well aware of, what I'll call sexual confusion, most don't have a problem with it, But to keep drawing attention to your community might just draw the attention of the communities that have strong feelings against it.
That's more long winded than intended, but the jist of what you can expect from me :-)
Let me know if you want to reciprocate or stop following
Love Always

I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and comment. I am just trying to share my own perspective as a human being - and frankly I too have mixed feelings about the media coverage that spiked a couple of years ago. In many ways things were simpler before then. I do not ask that anyone understand me - let alone the community that circumstances of my birth chose for me - only that we base our interactions on mutual respect, as I gather you agree!
of course :-) I'm just a shoot from the hip kinda guy, maybe even child like in honesty and interests.
For instance, a good friend of mine, after his wife passed away came out of his closet. Claimed to feeling like woman and even considering getting a sex change, and being a lesbian ?
thus marrying his childhood sweetheart. and yes she knew, and tolerated his cross dressing.
Ok cool....but don't cut your penis off dude, you WILL miss it hehe.
But if you do, I'm going to need to see the results :-)
To date he hasn't, just went a little Tattoo and piercing crazy hehe
I can't say I really understand or relate to even a fraction of my "community" - but to each their own!
