Living thru someone, and who calls you TS?

[Nicole Erin]

Living thru someone.
I often hear about how someone lives their dream thru another person.
MAybe like the parents trying to live their dreams thru their kids or just anyone living a dream by watching someone they know succeed. Sometimes our closeted members say they live the dream of going out thru those of us who do...

How do you live a dream or fantasy thru another person? Is it just a good feeling to see someone doing it?

Who calls you TS?

Well I have a couple real life friends who seem to think I am TS.
One of them, Saturday she said something about that. "So you go to work Halloween as yourself [Erin] and the next thing you know you are doing it all the time and wanting to get SRS..."
So why are some people convinced that certain CDs are actually TS? I seem to hear this a lot about how my TG sisters think I am TS. I dunno,

So what do you think about either of these topics? [I didn't want to be a thread wh*re so I made just one.]

Well yeah, you can imagine yourself doing it, dream about what it's like, think about doing it yourself someday. That's what I did, IIRC.



Who calls you TS?

Back when I identified as a CD/TG, a lot of people, both in RL in Tri-Ess and on the internet. All the bleeping time, which was scary and annoying. I kept thinking, "what are they thinking? What are they seeing? Why are they saying that?" They'd say stuff like, "You're a transsexual right, Veronica?" And I'd say no, and then they'd give me a "look". And then maybe a couple months later they'd ask the same question again. Or "How long have you been on hormones?" and i'd tell them that I wasn't. And then another look.

But you know what, they were right, I was a TS. I just couldn't admit it because it was too scary and to depressing. I wanted to transition but felt I couldn't for money and other reasons, and if I admitted it, I would feel bad and depressed that I couldn't. So I basically said, "Yep I'm a CD, don't want to transition." Even if I did.



So why are some people convinced that certain CDs are actually TS?

Because some are. I call folks like me Proto-TS's. We're more likely to do certain things than the garden variety CD. Not better, just different.

People should avoid that kind of prescriptive language on others, but I think for some, like me, they ought to be told they're TS's as often as possible, so maybe, just maybe, they can start to live and learn to love themselves.
