If I may be so bold, but i think that we really need to start recognizing the T in GLBT here on this board. I've been here for over a year (including prior to my "transformation", and most of the transgender threads on this particular board are not geared toward actually discussing transgenders and the struggles we face.
So I want this thread to be a form where we can begin a dialogue about the difficulties we face being transgendered. This journey is something that can only be appreciated by others who are journeying down the same path, and I think that it's important that we seek each other out. Lately, I've been feeling lost, alone, and truthfully, very, very sad. I've been desperately trying to fill empty spaces in my soul with little to no avail.
I want to start filling in those voids. With life, with meaningfulness. I want to use this thread to express myself, and I urge my transgender brothers and sisters to do the same. It's time we stopped living in the shadows. It's time we stopped being half alive, half of who we truly are, and embrace our bodies, even if they don't synchronize with our gender, and begin the long, difficult journey to finally, at last, making peace with it.
So lately, it's been really bothering me, the fact that I'm not a woman (biologically). I've been following this wonderful thread, Pregnancy Hormones Running Amok - ICDT, and the dichotomy that I feel is tearing me apart, it fills me with a joy and happiness to read about icandothis' pregnancy. Her words and the way she describes being pregnant, what she's going through, what her and her husband are feeling and experiencing are among the most beautiful I've ever read on Lit. However, it also fills me with a great sadness. A sadness knowing that I will never be able to experience the joy of taking my lover's seed and growing a life inside my body. The hallmark of a woman. It may sound silly to some, but to transgenders, this is something that I think they can appreciate. No matter how much make up I put on, no matter how much money I may save and how many drugs I take and how many surgeries I undertake, I will never never be able to grow a life inside me, and I think that's one of the biggest things that I've been struggling with lately.
So, to all my transgender brothers and sisters, please, let's share our experiences. I believe that by talking about what we're going through is the only way we can move toward making peace with ourselves, and possibly, hopefully, moving toward a world more tolerant and understanding of the struggles that we're experiencing.
This brave and beautiful girl has her own YouTube channel as well - http://www.youtube.com/user/Jesslyngirl87 I think she's gorgeous.
I wish you love and joy, Stacy. I think you're a wonderful woman.
She is absolutely gorgeous.
She's beautiful.
This is how sexy I wish i could be for someone special. This is how I feel. Inside. It's so difficult to be going through this. I have ups and downs and the worst of it is the rollercoaster ride. There are periods when I feel at peace with it, and like a house of cards, it comes crashing down. Then comes the feelings of shame, and disgust. Then I pick myself up and think "I love who I am", and start to feel confident again, but then completely crash when I see a couple in love, wondering if I'll ever have that.
This girl, though. She inspires me. Inspires me to think that I can have it all. I can be the sexy woman for that special someone. He'll love me for who I am. Completely. Regardless of whatever physical limitations or gender performances society tries to impart on us.
