What being a TS is NOT

[Katesback]

So you are weighting the career over transition. It appears you place that at the highest importance and thats fine. The problem is then you sacrifice transition which is something that takes 100% effort. Also do you think that living as a woman but willingfully keeping your penis is going to help you succeed? I mean really? In most places you cannot change records such as social security. To your employer your social security will indicate your MALE.

I cannot see that helping you with your valuable career. Finally another point. Telling someone about your goals is a lot different than showing them. It would be wise of you to make a decision and follow through with it and avoid at all costs talking about it! That means do it and keep your mouth shut. But then you already said the career and money are important and how I read it more important than actually transitioning. If you need advice from a couple guys I know that had SRS and live life as a men durring the day and girl at night I can try to connect you with them. I mean hey they have succeeded at getting SRS and still being a part time girl. Very special indeed.

Excuse me? That's just an outrageous statement considering the source. It's also a little bizarre that you continue to talk about this real world like you're the only one who lives in it. That's particularly offensive to me because I am currently in the delicate process of trying to transition without dismantling a great career. It may seem unimportant to those post transition gals, but to me, maintaining my comfortable income is a very high priority. In this real life you speak of, I had two meetings with colleagues just this last Friday and told them both about my plans to complete the transition next year and I will be needing them on my team as I look for a new place to hang my hardhat. Both meetings went remarkably well but I need to balance coming out with keeping my current bosses in the dark so they don't get a sense that I would be leaving anytime soon. The real world requires patience and personal sacrifice in order to achieve a worthwhile goal. I certainly don't suscribe to any internet fantasies, in fact my real life is documented on my blog. I submit that none of the respondents in this particular thread are living any kind of fantasy life either.



Well I can say with certainty that I've never suggested that I was anything like you. Since I'm not TS by your definition, then you and I have absolutely nothing in common.
