The Maury Show Today- Quite Unique

[Anita Mae GG]

Hi All,

My first time in here so here goes.....first let me say that I knw the bare essentials of transexuals and what they feel and go through. Nothing in depth.

I was watching Maury this morning (no idea why I don't really care for that show) but at any rate they had on transexuals....I only watched for a few minutes and I have NEVER seen this happen before....

Now saty with me to avoid confusion LOL

There was a GG turned male (had kids prior to SRS) and a GM turned woman and they found each other somehow and fell in love and are engaged.....


I found that so striking that two people with the SAME issue found each other and fell in love and that I guess I have never seen it quite like that before. I guess there are no secrets there huh?

I do have a couple questions,

#1 What do you all think of that?

#2 If you are not in a relationship now and were to meet someone, AFTER SRS, would you tell them your original gender if you could get away with not telling them?

#1 What do you all think of that?

I think it's wonderful -- who better to understand you and all the things that you have had to deal with for so many years?

#2 If you are not in a relationship now and were to meet someone, AFTER SRS, would you tell them your original gender if you could get away with not telling them?

I would definitely tell the truth about myself, although the point is moot in my case since it is very unlikely that I would fool someone I was intimate with. This doesn't mean that I want to be treated as anything other than female in every way, but this is just too large an issue, and would be dangerous to try to get away with since all my family and friends would be aware of my history, and I would not be willing to sever all ties with them.

Interesting point, I never even thought of it that way (extended family) I guess you'd be dragging them into your lie IF you were a person who chose that route....

I think that's cool! :cool: Love is where you find it.


#2 If you are not in a relationship now and were to meet someone, AFTER SRS, would you tell them your original gender if you could get away with not telling them?
Yes, I would have to tell whoever I got involved with about it. I can't be worried about that kind of stuff coming out later and whether it would ruin my relationship. To each his/her own, I would never tell anyone else what kind of relationship they should have, but for me, it would have to be out in the open from the beginning. Although, as Sharon said, even if I wanted to hide it, I'm sure I couldn't anyway. :p

I think its terrific. I wish them well.

#2 If you are not in a relationship now and were to meet someone, AFTER SRS, would you tell them your original gender if you could get away with not telling them?

Yes, I would tell. Otherwise I'd be living a lie and the truth would come out sooner or later anyway. I'm just too honest to be deceptive.

I know a couple that are both in transition. I believe they met in our TS support group. They seem like any other couple.

There are definite advantages, as you'd know what the other is going through and you're probably already out to your family. Maybe it's easier for the families to accept since, how ever you cut it, it's still a man and a woman.

I think everyone is entitled to having what ever kind of relationship they want. Well maybe not with sheep.:D




#2 If you are not in a relationship now and were to meet someone, AFTER SRS, would you tell them your original gender if you could get away with not telling them?

I am in a relationship and want to stay there. But I know others that have advertised for a partner, disclosing their situation in the ad. Seems to me the best way to go.

#1, I think it's great. I would have no problem dating such a man myself.

#2, There's a couple of different ways of looking at this.

Some of us believe that once we've gone to the the trouble of having the surgery etc..., that we are atleast as much a woman as any who has had a hysterectomy. Perhaps with a little history maybe, but why should we have to tell it? Why should we have to tell it, when the mere finding out such a thing can create such misguided feelings in people and potential violence to ourselves, if the not telling saves both parties the pain? My point here, is that must we really go through our daily lives with a brand or post-it note on our foreheads telling everyone everything they ever wanted or didn't want to know about our lives? You might just be suprised how many people out there would appreciate it if we actually wore a sign stating such facts...

Then there's the point of telling to just do everything possible to prevent any violence beforehand.

I personally would tell if I were serious enough about the person to consider having sex with them. I would not however over diner, coffee or a kiss...

I thgink its wounderful and i wish them luck and joy. and well i admit i'm jelous:D


#2 If you are not in a relationship now and were to meet someone, AFTER SRS, would you tell them your original gender if you could get away with not telling them?

I have to tell them right on or after the first date. and if they can't handle it then heir not the one's for me. Being a man. Has for me been living the largest lie i ever have and makes it very easy for me to not be honest when i hate not being honest. So part of being in a new life is living totaly honestly. Nomatter how much the truth hurts.

I like the show and think it was great two people found love for each other, no matter what......I think you should always tell the truth, if you really care for your better half. Dee Dee
