Hope everyone is having a good Monday morning if there is such a thing. Anyway I just registered this early morning, and I debated whether or not to introduce myself now or wait... well I couldn't wait. I live alone in Detroit Michigan, I have always known I was somehow messed up, I remember some very discouraging conversations with girls in 2nd and 3rd grade. Those moments pushed me deeply into the closet, around 14 I found out that there was a such thing as SRS, it has been in the forefront of my mind since. I've tried all the ways out the problem, purging 10000 times, phony relationships, self destruction with a 19 day psychiatric lockdown in 1991, drugs,... none of it worked. My mother died the day after my first public adventure to a nightclub. This was less than 2 months ago, I have since been to the club five times... nothing is as intoxicating as fresh air. It's the only place I have been and I love it, the club is a gay bar with a ladies night on Saturday. About a year ago I decided to just say screw it all and be who I am, it is slow going. I dropped almost 50 pounds, to a slender 130 at 5'9", in preparation for getting on hormones, which I have been slightly less motivated to do as I fear not knowing what will happen, I worry I will be let down in development department. If I dont stop writing now I probably wont...

Love,
Yvonne

Welcome and good luck with things Yvonne. Remember that the hormones have a very nice positive effect on emotions as well as the body. I recall finding a bit of friendship and a safe venue at the gay clubs. One of many phases on the trip.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. "
John 9:2-3

Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?"
Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."

Hi and welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I don't know anything about losing a parent. But I can relate to the other craziness. Whether you meant purging your closet, purging your money, or purging your meals, I've been there.
And don't worry about being let down by hormones. I think that I will always wish that my breasts were bigger, but that's not a big deal compared to how disappointing life was before transition. And however your body develops there will always be a guy (or gal) that is turned on by you. cool
