This is me!

I took my wife, son and friends to the beach yesterday. We had such a sweet afternoon. I decided the wig would just have to stay home. I rarely venture out without a wig except when I am training. My hair is just not there yet and I may have to do transplants. Hoping not! Anyway I think the hormones have softened my face a bit. It felt good to just be! I remember Melissa counseling me before I had to appear as a male one of the last times that I was me no matter what. She was so right! Here is a pic from the day.

...I was me no matter what...

Melissa's truth is what gets me through most days. You look gorgeous and happy.

...that's the kind of shit that almost makes me makes me cry. ...almost. ;-)

You're beautiful no matter what.

Love it! Sometimes shedding things we have used or worn and still feeling how real we are is the best feeling! Smiles say it all!

I guess this is why I still look so very male. I refuse to wear makeup or wigs.
I am, however, all me.

Hell I don't blame you a bit,, In normal life it's pretty hard to play Dress up all the time,, Don't get me wrong it's fun from time to time,, But as for all day everyday it's tough,,, For us there is lots and lots of damage to be undone from living life from before, The best we can hope for is to make the Dreaded Dysphoria subside and just get to live another day.

As for any and all answers,, There is no right answer just YOUR ANSWER,, An we have to play the cards where dealt and make the best of it always. Melisa is Brutal at times and tells No one this will be easy by any means, She just tells us what we need to hear and Not what we want to hear. Reality Sucks sometimes and there are people that are an exception to the rule but for the most part we all have to go through this in our own way and never think there is one certain path to take.

She is my friend like she is to all that know the real her, She is by no means the best or the smartest or better or worst than anyone else, But she see's where your going before you get there and throws up the warning signs to try and help. If you refuse to take it you will be there all alone and you will have to take the heat alone.
So for all of you here do your own thing and maybe take a piece of advice from time to time and read between the lines more offen than not an but for the most part your on your own,,lol,,, ( And that's all I have to say about that,,,,)
