When I embarked upon transition, a friend revealed that they too were in the process of becoming a woman. I was unaware of any help or support on the internet, and my friend showed me her website, the title page showed a greeting and either side of this were pardon my language/phrases - ejaculating penises which were early cgi and moved and well you can guess the rest. I didnt say anything, but I was horrified, I was deep in shock, because I knew within myself that I did NOT associate myself with this, or identify with it. I went away asking myself over and over"what does this have to do with being in the wrong body, transgendered people dont need graphic and obscene images like this being linked by the person in the street to what is a very real conditon, and not some kind of perversion".
For me being transgenderd is somthing Ive known since about 6, Ive accpeted it, Ive fought against it, Ive wanted to die, Ive welcomed it, Ive sought answers, and I know this will never go away. Dressing is incidental, it doesnt stop the feelings of revulsion in your own form.
