Dys,

I agree with you about Virginia, Virginia lead a life that made him / her happy and for that I am glad and I hope it does not come off that I am passing judgment on him for that. It is one of my most sincere wishes that no human be persecuted for what are innocuous actions be it their choice of a sexual partner for their tastes in clothes or their desire to express a different gender role.

That said there was one thing in your reply that is quite similar to much of what "Recursive's" has said and that one point is the crux of the matter..

"There really are some who don't need to go all that far."

I could not agree more but it that is the case… IF, and this is a VERY big if, that desire is not there, then that person is simply not transsexual. That desire for correction is the ONLY goal for a transsexual. It is the singular defining characteristic and so, until that desire is settled they will lead at best some sort of a shadow life behind the male golem they created to survive

No, for the person who does not desire correction yet wants to express life as other than the sex were born into something else is driving them. Something very very different than what drives a transsexual. What that is. I really don’t know! Is it bad? No! Is it wrong? No, it is just different, and it is that difference that divides the two, It is that difference that makes all of my sisters work like the devil to get their correction so they CAN move on with their lives.

Is that a bad thing? Does bad even enter into the picture? Again, no.! It is what it is... A transsexual is driven by one thing and that is the wrongness of their morphology to who they are. I have yet to meet a one who would not have been just as happy to have the means to correct the brain sex as it was the body sex. I would have been quite happy to have been a man but I wasn’t now looking back I can see that I never had the faintest idea about what a man was. I was a cargo cultist acting out a male role as seen from the outside.

That was then, this is now. I had correction, I blended into society as the woman I am and so to finish up even if my history does become known it would take on the air of “her? Nahhhhhhhhh!” can’t be! How do I know this? Because I was once outed by a TG (something that is endemic I’ve found in talking to other women such as myself.) It was a vain attempt to say I’m the same as her” and it failed misserably. For a while there were those questioning glances the wispers but I did not reply. Why should I? I was a woman insulted to her very core! He called me a man! In time it dies down for lack of fuel and I eventually moved

And that is part of it is it not? While I do support laws to protect those sisters who are in their transition and also to protect those who are expressing gender differences I as most of the women I have met really don’t need laws to protect us as different because we are not! We are pretty much the same as every other woman out there with the same worries and the same concerns, the same hopes and the same dreams. We bump our heads on the glass celings and we worry about being alone in a dark place at night. We love our families and we would taer the eyes out of anyone who threatened the. We are woman end of story…

With great care
