BE WHO YOU ARE

Some of you may not agree with what Im about to say but here it goes. I am Chrissie & i have been living a pre-op fulltime female life for a long time now, & i hear many stories of how some transexuals have to still be male because of families & jobs. I want to say that is bogus nonsense, because if you are for real about who you are & who you want to become, then instead of making yourself miserable & unhappy & trying to do the right thing for everyone else, you will drive yourself insane. It may hurt & may cost someone their family or even friends, but why sacrifice your happiness, sometimes you have to lose to win, no matter the cost. Some people understand, some don't. I lost a good man because of my transition, which I've known about since i was 4. That man is my dad. I cannot be a gay male or try to play it straight just for him & his family or how embarrassing it would be, that isn't me, I did this because i knew there was something wrong inside of myself & i didn't hurt my dad or my family on purpose, because if i can change it i would not of gone through the criticism, the hurt, the nasty names in my life that people have said, & yet I'm still here & beat them. I've earned all the respect from people now & its a new millenium & being transgendered is not a disease. Noone should have to hide who they are just to make someone else happy, noone should be contiplating suicide, or mental health issues because of who they want to be. I know some families won't understand, but that is there loss because you know who you are & you are a great person no matter who you want to become, you are still YOU, & the love you have will never change.

But then some us DO agree. Amen to your post, Chrissie! Sonia
Hi Chrissie. I like and agree with what you said. Another transgender recently asked me why the interest in TS's. Here was my answer. First I miss the feminity that woman once had. I miss dresses, the makeup and gentleness that modern day women no longer possess. Then I mentioned the sexual part of who would know better to handle the sex organ, then one who already possesses one.
But the biggest reason why I was interested was because you have the courage and strength to be you. I understand why some of other transgenders are afraid to come out completely. I've been there most of my life. Now I have roommates who want me to be me. I've told them about what and who I want in my life and they encouraged me to go for it. Then I meet this gorgeous person (with no makeup) and that person showed me mental, emotional and physical strength I had not seen before. Nor did I expect it. Society is slowly becoming more accepting, but it won't happen over night. You are an inspartion to the community, transgenders and admirers alike.
