Solid troll.
I love this place.
I love three-day weekends. You can party Friday through Sunday and sleep it off on Monday. So that’s why I haven’t replied sooner.
Some of you seem awfully offended that I didn’t say who I “really” am. I guess I see your point to some degree. But you know, in every-day life, I don’t go around saying “hi, I’m xxxxxx, but my name used to be xyxyxy.” That’s not who I am any more, even if it is part of my past. Occasionally it’s necessary to do so, like when I’m trying to cash a check that came in my old name or something. I can see where it would be helpful here: am I a JONG, a troll, or who I say I am? But I don’t feel like doing so quite yet here, for reasons previously stated. I probably will—when I feel like it.
Sorry, Ice, that I didn’t impress you. But you’re not really my type anyway.
To those who think I’d be well-served by some therapy: you’re right! I was! The standards of care for transsexuals suggest at least three months of weekly sessions and then ongoing as needed to navigate life during transition. I’ve had four months. My psychologist has no doubt whatsoever that I’ve made the right decision. I didn’t choose my gender identity—I just chose to express it.
The attention whore comment was hilarious. This place is already filled with them. Not a bad idea, though. I should start posting TR’s of “first ski descent of Mt. ------ by a transsexual woman” and such.
Whatever your personal views may be, the AMA & APA both endorse sexual reassignment surgery (aka gender affirmation surgery, which I’m sure is too PC of a term to use here) as medically necessary. The standards of care also (somewhat controversially) require a minimum one-year “Real Life Experience” of living full-time presenting as the gender one identifies with before undergoing such a procedure. I haven’t had surgery “down there” and probably couldn’t get it now even if I wanted it, since I’ve only been in my RLE for 3 ½ months.
Hayduke is hilarious, BTW.
When I met my fiancée I presented as male, but our first date was a Halloween party (note: crossdressers’ and closeted transsexuals’ favorite holiday!). I always wore women’s clothing at home. For a long time we didn’t really talk about it—it just felt fairly normal. I won’t say my coming out process has been easy on her, but she’s definitely happy to be with me. She’s been my primary source of support, and even encouraged me / convinced me / gave me permission to “come out” at work in the first place.
Have you passed my test? Have I passed yours? This place is just as a thought it was. A lot of fun, and with a diversity of expressed political and social views I don’t find here in the Bay Area. I don’t have to agree with you all.
Do I make a “hot” woman?
Macho-looking latino guy with his friends at Carnaval San Francisco yesterday: “I don’t know you but I love you!”
Was I interested? No.
I’ve still got a ways to go, but I’m feeling pretty good about how I look already. I’m not really “passable” at this point, but most trans-women get there with practice and a few years of HRT. But all of that medical stuff really exists to help us blend in. Right now I’m happy just being me, even if I don’t.
I think that’s enough for now. Go enjoy your day off, and take a moment to appreciate why we have it. My brother will be deployed in July, and I’m hoping not to have to memorialize him some day…
Edit to add: anxiously awaiting tomorrow's ruling on the challenge of Prop 8's constitutionality!
Are you going to ski on chick equipment?????
No. Especially not with my big-ass feet. =)Quote:

This thread looks more and more realistic as time goes on.
If this is true, can I feel your new boobs?

Are you, or are you not, the member (woo, puns) formerly known as Cliff Huckable? This is a matter of utmost importance.

which all took a bit of getting used to.
So does she turn you on? :eek:Quote:

BTW, tell her to trim the fucking eyebrows!
Whole bunch of Conflicted Maggots out there now!Quote:

Not at all. I think she's a little more passable than many transsexuals, but when I look at the eyes, I still see Steve and not Lori.Quote:

I don't think I'm closed-minded about this sort of thing, but don't you have to deal with who you are? I'd like to be good-looking, but I'm not - kind soft around the middle and funny in the face. But I soldier on.
I guess the difference is I'd need plastic surgery to fix what's wrong with me, and all you need to do is wear women's clothes and makeup, which is a societal construct anyway.
Good luck, but maybe you need to do some work on liking yourself the way you are?

And then again I don't know an awful lot of you personally, though I've met a number of folks who've posted in this thread and bought gear from a couple more of those in this thread. But as I said, I don't know any of you very well--I have my own non-internet friends. But those I've met have been pretty cool.
Oh, and Klar, since you're looking, Payless shoe source has a ton of cute size-12 shoes, BTW. The Ross-type stores tend to be pretty good as well.
I'm surprised--but not fully--that this thread hasn't died yet.
