Reine wrote about the conflict that many T's battle. I know that I am conflicted and probably shallow in my thinking as well. To me,a T is a female impersonator,with some better at it than others.We weren't born with female genitals,some of us may have bought them,but we aren't the "real deal". I enjoy hearing about the experiences of full time T's as well as transitioned T's.I am shallow because I am into the presentation aspect of the life.So,someone like TamaraV and her world interests me.As does Kelly,in that she has honed her skills to a point where she could work in the corporate world,without making waves.And there are lots more that blend in and do it.It seems that the energy that some of us put into our look,is equal to what many in transition put into analysis through therapy,and some care very little about their female impersonation skills. And,I enjoy hearing of this as well as the hurdles of transition. So,I do miss the input of certain people when they leave us.:2c:
