For me, I've been lucky. I haven't had any violence thrown my way, nor any horrible comments. I was discriminated against at a blood bank, but I understand why I suppose, although it doesn't make me happy.

The worst part has been losing my family, but I will either gain them back as they process things or I won't, nothing I can do about their closed or openness of their minds.

I'm a very happy now, I'm always broke and funnel cash towards my transition as I get it, but other then that things are ok.
 
Sorry to hear, but the key is of course to surround yourself with people who accept you. And that usually happens after things settle down. :)
 
Good advice, Hey all.

I can't even begin to fathom the hardships you face in being true to yourself, Johnny. I wish you strength, peace and love.:rose:
 
Thanks. I'm doing my best. It's been more ups then downs.

It's funny, when I joined literotica so many years back I was Johnny. Now I go by Jenny, but I don't want to lose my account status, avatar, and all my old posts so I'll stick with being JohnnyA here.

I kinda go by Jenny, I chose the name because it felt right at the moment, but it's not sticking. I will know my true female name when it appears before me. Robin is one option I was thinking, and on the opposite side of the spectrum I was thinking Spitfire, but I doubt anyone would call me that unless I was a rock star or something.
 
Jenny, I know that this must be a tough path to follow. my heart bleeds for you. All I can do is wish you luck and urge you not to go through life bitter and with a chip on your shoulder. Stay positive and be happy with the choices that you have made. I hope that you meet people that accept you and love you for what is down inside of you. You will find mean spirited people that will do mean things. Do not dwell on the actions of such people. Seek out positive people and be happy.
 
Thanks Somehowyou.

My heart if full of love for life and people. Even mean ones. I try and put myself in their shoes and realize that if they are upset and bitter that I don't know what occurred during their life to make them like that.

I've always contemplated the how and why that we became sentient beings on the planet. My view of the afterlife does not follow any religious group, but I am completely confident in my own mind of what occurs after. It helps me to stride through this life with love instead of hate. I look at everything we do here, the happiness and the sorrow as equally great. If one never knows true sadness they can't know bliss and joy. A yin yang kinda thing.
