[Lotus]

It often saddens me that some people go so far as to alter their body chemistry or even get surgery before realizing they are not transsexual. I seems to me that self awareness needs to come first. An actual transsexual person totally desires to transition and any other choice feels repulsive to them. You, Julia, have clearly realized that this does not describe you.

Over the years I've noticed an odd narrow mindedness among many people on these forums about transgenderism. Gender is not a black and white thing, folks. There are a lot of different gender alternatives than full transgenderism. There is no off the rack way to do this stuff. Each of us must custom design our own course.

Am a little confused by your two statements which appear to contradict with each other....

Agreed Megan. Julie is quite aware of her transgenderism (see S.A.G.E. results below) given the amount of time she's spent on her self discovery here at BN... therefore in Julie's case, it seems impossible to speculate narrow- mindedness. In otherwords, Julie's transgenderism journey is unique..so be happy (not sad) for her and celebrate that folks take the time to document this process (albeit straight male seeking breast growth or someone on hrt) and are willing to share their journey...with us.

Oh ?
