Last weekend I and my girlfriend were watching movie "Room in Rome". It is basically a lesbian romantic movie. When those two beautiful ladies spoke about their pasts it hit me really hard. I realised that I would never have the opportunity to live my whole life as a female. Even if I decided to transition I would never be able to experience childhood, adolescence ... and with it all joys and sorrows of a woman. And I cried in a way I had not cry for a really long time. No wonder my girlfriend was surprised and I had to explain. Surprisingly, I think she understood that there is immitigable pain in realising that there is a whole another life I would like to experience, "a life merely glimpsed", as one blogger named it.

After that experience I tried to think about any positives of being transgender, because I believe that for all the sadness we have to endure there is a potential for something positive. I also browsed the Net, because I thought there had to be someone who thought about the same issues and I've found really nice and positive text which I want to share with you:

I hope you'll like it.

So what do you think? What are the advantages of being transgendered?
