I have an annoucment
Posted by The Silence on Sun May 19 06:45:21 2019 So... I got let go from my job a while back. Long story, don't want to get into it, that's not the point. Point is I've had a lot of time on my hands to think. and... I've decided to embrace something that's been rattling around in me for some time but I've never had the guts to face... That I'm transgender. I'm a woman. If some of you want to go down the "biology 101" path... whatever. frankly, I don't give a shit. It's your opinion, which you are entitled to, but it doesn't matter to me. I know who I am, I accept the fact that I am a girl.

This is not a rehearsal. Whatever it takes to make you happy & fulfilled. Who gives a shit about what others think. As Eric Burden once sang..."Its my life and I'll do what I Want"!

Of course, that leads to other questions, as to whether you're gay or straight as a girl (yes, you're going to get this), are you a cute or plain girl, do you want to get married or stay single, ad libitum. I'd say you should stay pre-op; a lot of potential partners want this and it's way less expensive.

Bi with a large preference to ladies, but not against dating a guy. want to be cute but would take plain if it works. Married. I already know the kind of dress I'd want to wear. And I plan to keep the bits I came with.

He just doesn't understand the world. I sometimes think he stopped processing change around 1970. He also suffers from "Prince Phillip Syndrome", the lack of filter between brain and mouth.

Posted by The Silence* on Sun May 19 12:12:15 2019, in response to Re: I have an annoucment, posted by BILLBKLYN on Sun May 19 11:25:12 2019.* And here's what I was waiting for... Science is our search for knowledge, and guess what, sometimes, what we think we know as established "fact", isn't exactly correct, if not outright wrong. Like poor old Pluto, for example. There are kids just about to graduate 8th grade and start at high schools who never knew Pluto as a planet. for almost 80 years, "Pluto is the 9th planet" was a "FACT" proven by "SCIENCE". Till it wasn't any more. Life calls Mulligans on "facts" all the time. Yes, genetically, I am a male. There is no arguing that. But my mind, how I think of myself, I am female.

My other question is why did you feel it necessary to confide in us? Let me make it clear, I do not care about how you choose to self identify.

Just make sure you do all your research and be sure this is what you want. But I assume you have done that to get to this point where you are ready to go to your family. Life's too short to worry about what others think. The best of luck to you on your journey.
