So many expectations...

...it's interesting to see that perspective, and how she's dealing with it. Thanks for this insightful article.

to live their lives as they wish. I don't necessarily agree with the author but that's my choice. I live largely in stealth and that is my way of dealing with it so it isn't an issue with me either. I've done my bit of supporting the cause, and now just entertain, challenge or inform through my fiction rather than wearing my heart on my sleeve. But then I've been doing longer than many, twenty seven years in July, so I've been there, done that and got the tee shirt, long ago; but perhaps more importantly, I got the birth certificate and that says female, so bye bye trans anything.

I Look and Dress (Hopefully)

Like other butch dykes I've met; no make-up, wimyn's jeans, maybe a womyn's tall or a guys button front shirt (I have sorta long arms). I'm different from them in that I have longish hair. I think I'd look more guy-like with a short butch haircut.

I long ago noticed I wasn't as pretty as some FI's, so if I didn't have to dress fancy-fem I didn't. If I don't look perfectly fem or womynly, it's OK; I'm obviously not trying to be. At least no one thinks I'm a crossdresser. (no offense to those who are, but doing what I do, I pass almost all the time).

Hugs and Bright Blessings,

Tobe or not to be that IS the Questions.

Weather it is nobler in the mind to suffer the aberrations of a stupid public, or by simply being the women who you are ignore them into the oblivion they deserve.
It took some time for my ex to help me see that I needed to trust my self that I did know that I am a women who needed to correct a birth defect. Because I could not transition earlier in my life, before testosterone messed up my features, I had to transition later in my late 40s. by then I looked age appropriate to other GG in my age group. So later worked out for me. But yes I do find that I am supporting the trans community from an arms distance. Just like I do not hang out with teenagers or people in there 20s, I talk to both and have a few acquaintances of there age groups but my life experiences as a 59 year old mother of 2 kids put me into another category. Just I associate with some men my friends are other women around my age or people with children.
I have personally crossed my "River of Dreams" and was lucky enough to find a wonderful bunch of people here who get me and where ever in there and my process of living treat me as a friend and show me love and caring.

Huggles to one and all
