Considering Transition

[MysticLady]

My physician, who's a great guy and actually very supportive points out to me that "I'm not going to make a very attractive woman."

Uhhrrggg. This is very wrong for your doctor to even say that to you. Who made him a judge of beauty. I'm sorry but people that think they know you better than you do yourself just "chap my hide".:Angry3:

Guess I was really asking if it would make the transition harder, if, at the end of it, you weren't quite up to the standards of say "wal-mart pretty"? That is - there are some *really* unattractive genetic women who go into the wal-mart. If you end up not even looking that good, can you still transition successfully?

What if those "unattractive" GG's decided that they're just not pretty enough to be out and about? Don't beat yourself up for the limitations you think you may have. Use those as launch steps in your life.

So I know I can start over - but I'll be honest, starting from scratch sucked at 28, and it will NOT be better or easier at 50. The starting over fresh (since at 50, "fresh" is never gonna apply to me, lol)

Im over 50 , Ive had cancer(in Aug 2010 they told me I had 3 mos left), my wife of over 20 years told me she wants a divorce, but, you know what, I love my life and things happen for a reason and Im as happy as a pig in slop. Don't let life bring you down Sister. Ive seen your pic and your a lovely lady.
