Then again, I also don't treat transitioning as a religion, nor the reason for my existence. I never had a dual personality, there is no male side or female side, I am just me. My hobbies have not changed, i still am the same person. I don't really get the need to try to imitate some stereotypical caricature of what a woman is supposed to spend her time doing, because I blend in just fine and most people I know don't know me as anything other than a fun girl named Sarah. (Who has some odd tastes )

Lol, I probably get along better with males just wanting boobs than I do with most trans people whom I meet. Most TGs seem to make such a huge deal about it that it ends up defining them as people. I don't want nor do I see the need for that. Maybe it's an age thing, because my fiancée is much the same, as are some of the younger trans people I've met.

I fully agree Sarah.

Even though we are at very different points in the gender spectrum, I think we have a similar perspective on the issues of gender and such. What you wrote I think is a good description of what the source of tension is really about. It's not so much about trans vs. non-trans, but rather about a clash in personality between those who regard GD/NBE as a focal part of their identity vs. those who simply consider it one of many aspects of themselves.
