Trying to accept that I am a transsexual

[Marleena]

Lately I've come to learn that there are indeed degrees of TG'ness but I've also noticed a tendency to sort of idealize the TS girls. I sense a feeling that some of the CD's want or wish they could be TS because they think of it as more of an elite sorority instead of what it really is. A bizarre and horrifying life change that begins with a 100 days of terror and eventually becomes just an average life as an odd looking woman.

What I'm seeing is a lot of self diagnosing going on here lately. It's like I have some of the clues, so I must be TS! This is a forum and we can't diagnose anybody. We can only give clues. If somebody thinks they may be TS they need confirmation from a professional. A diagnosis takes time so why all the panic until an answer is found? I agree with Melissa there is nothing glamorous about being TS, in fact I think it sucks!
