The old joke: What's the difference between a crossdresser and a trassexual? Answer: Two years.........meaning transition.
My two years is up.
I've been a cd'er since I was 8. I went into hiding,and I purged, and then I went into self-acceptance, and now I'm out, except for my professional life. I always loved the fashion choices women have, particularly how women express themselves on a day-to-day level. I'm just so jealous. There's definitely a transgender aspect of expressing myself.
I've been to two TG conferences this year: Keystone and SCC, and I had a blast at both of them . What was great was the fact that both conferences gave me a good indication of who I am by meeting others. The same goes with the dozens of TG events I've attended within the last two years.
I have met many....definitely more than three dozen girls that I became friends with that are going through, or have gone through verious stages of transition (hormones, surgeries, hair removal, etc), all are wonderful and exceptional people, every one of them. ........love you all! :huggles
In my case, I'm very happy with my male self....and love to live my female part as much as possible. I guess I'm one of those CD'ers that never made it over the edge of the blade of turning into full time or transition. It's a very real situation for some.
What I don't want to see is the division between CD'ers, and TS. Just because some of us arent' popping pills, doing shots or patches, or going under the knife doesn't make us any less as people. I saw nothing but unity at these conferences. gender is a spectrum, it's just that simple.
Anyway, enough of my rant. :wine:
