Born this way..transsexual..knew as young as three Mom says younger that I was a girl.Now,if you were born CIS female..would you buy implants,buy your lips,facial feminize yourself,buy your ass,etc? Or would you let the hormones take their course,look like your family members,etc.I first attempted living fulltime female in 1978..no one had heard of transgender,transsexual or even shemale then.I knew i wasnt a drag queen,I didnt want to impersonate a woman,I beleived I was one inside.I knew I wasnt a CD,it wasnt a fetish,it didnt turn me on to put on lingerie like I heard cds saying..so I did it as I could figure out.I lasted til 1980 when I was 20 when I was viciously gang raped by 4 men.I hid myself away for 25 years after that,til 2005..but in the meantime I became a professional touring musician,even did tours of Europe,and played the Montreal jazz fest to 27000 people and sold out the spectrum.It was while in a first class hotel in Heidelberg that I realized I'd rather be dead than pretend to be what I never was any longer,and upon returning to Canada I left the band and started fulltime female 6 months after that.It was my lil brother who confided in me that he had brain cancer,and told me life really was too short and to please be who I am that inspired me.He lived til 2007,and at least he got a chance to see the real me in his life for two years before he was gone.I'm legally married to another TS,we were married in my folks living room in 2010.

hello. wanted to say thank you for posting this. an i feel your right on with you statements.
i am new still in this transition only started in 2011. an only was put on the estrogen 7 months ago.
in the 7 months i have gone from flat no chest other then my square pecs muscles, now i am in a B cup already they are round an soft with little pink nipples poking up. i love it.
still find that i want them to be bigger but i know that will take time. an i may not end up with a huge rack but im ok with that. the thing here is i do not want to be fake an plastic. i want my body to be me. an all my natural DNA can provide me.
i have changed as lot so much so that i only recognize my eyes now when i look in the mirror form the image i had seen for 26 years.. i get lost an excited everything i see this. its a boost to know that i have come so far in a short time. concreting i really though never become real for me..
thanks again for paving the way for my self an others. hugz an lovez
