Every step of the way it has been me doing the research, sending emails, making phone calls, meeting my therapist, taking the risks and spending MY money. If by "community" you mean on-line resources and local TS support meeting then there is no need for me to separate myself from anything, those were tools that i used and continue to use. If by community you mean the host of CD, gender queer, and gay and lesbian events that so many trans people like to attend then yeah i have little interest in those things. been there done that and don't wear the tee shirt! thats not me. Again other than just not having an interest in those things it not something i need to actively separate my self from i just don't go. I have one TS friend who is serious and is making progress like me so many others I know are caught in an endless loop of money, job, family yada yada yada ISUESS! these are the girls that seem to be the most interested in Trans stuff.
