One last comment and I'll put my therapist suit away.Originally Posted by pocoyo
Maybe you're one of the lucky few who have really trans-ed the gender line. I keep asking, and haven't gotten a satsifactory answer IMO, what's it mean to be feminine? What's it mean to be masculine? Other than the stereotypical attributes (soft vs strong; small vs big; nurturing vs. sink or swim; etc etc) no one can say. And personally, I don't know anyone that fits those stereotypes even to a 50% level - I don't think that person exists... male or female.
The body/physical part is just biology - needed for propogation of the species. Other than that, how do you know a loving caress is delivered from a man or a woman if you have your eyes closed?
As Lisa said, you've got these eyes that just radiate a sparkling, fun and honest soul. Why worry about permanent changes? Feel like looking like a boy today - look like a boy. Feel like looking like a typical girl today? - look like a girl. Even if your presentation is based on what you believe someone you care about wants to see, so what? You're giving them a gift, not changing who you are. The women AND men in my life that I respect the most are strong, yet gentle and caring. The point is THE SAME HUMAN SOUL CHARACTERISTICS - doesn't matter which role in species propogation they play.
I completely understand this does not apply to those who really are TS and are 100% certain their birth gender is not how they would be happiest. But if you're not sure, how's about being Pocoyo gendered? Do, say, react, be as makes you feel good about yourself and just let the rest fall into place (because I'm 100% certain it will).
In my book, men can play with dolls (and pantyhose) and be submissive and kiss boo boos and decorate homes; women can assert themselves and be boisterous and fix cars and not care that their bag doesn't match their shoes.
Be Pocoyo first, gender second. Cause from where I'm sitting, you are infectious and smiles bloom wherever you go.
