Firstly, thank you for everyone's words of encouragements.
Secondly thank you Wen4CD for your psychological type insights, I always enjoy reading your posts, and they really make me think about things. I love when you say "all it takes is for the words to be utterred, and it becomes exactly that". I think this idea is brilliant, and really shows the intense power of the mind, and how it can alter our perception of reality. I still feel as though Julia is like my "Ideal Self", whereas my "Real Self" is a much more practical approach to my blending of male and female personas. According to the Humanists we all have an "Ideal Self".. I wish I was Taller, I wish I more outgoing, I wish I was prettier, I wish I was more self confident, but I bet the humanists never considered what this meant in terms of people who are transgendered. Anyhow obviously becoming your Ideal self isn't always possible or realistic, but we can work on many aspects to become closer, and this is where we find our "real self". But I still can't deny that I thoroughly enjoy becoming Julia.
Even though I've only recently began accepting who I am, perhaps I'm just rushing to put a label on myself in an attempt to not feel confused and to lessen the confusion for others around me who are wondering what is happening to me. Perhaps I need to stop thinking so much, and just live.
