Hi all,
I understand this is a thread for posting questions for all the TGs/TS here. I have a couple questions:
- What is the difference between a transgender and a transexual?
- After reading 7 pages of comments and opinions (I have to admit that I was skimming sometimes), I understand that even TG/TS have very different opinions about what it means to be TG/TS. Some are afraid to come out due to fear of various consequences but others are bolder in terms of facing the hardships entailed. If you haven't transitioned but always wanted to, what do you think would ultimately change your mind? And if you've transitioned, what was the last straw that meant that you could no longer live with your previously assigned gender?
- Do you identify more as a "woman", or a TG/TS, or does it not matter to you?
- What do you think was the most helpful AND unhelpful thing you did in facilitating your transition?
- I believe being as different as we are can be ultimately a very rewarding and enriching experience in our lives although some would beg to differ. I get this impression that a lot of what we do rests on our level of acceptance. Do you think that acceptance comes with time? And do you think its possible to become less accepting with time?
Sorry, there are a lot of questions here but I would love to read every word everybody has to offer. I look forward to this.
Love,
Sarah
