I totaly agree with Beverley.
I have dear friends, who are in the middle. I accept and embrace them, for the people, they are, but I cannot put myself in their mental space, any more than they can put themselves, in mine. We have a camaraderie, because we all struggle with being outside the norm and wishing to present as female. The differnce is that those who take the "middle way" are men, wish to remain men, but like to explore the fem side. Us poor, benighted , souls, who are TS, have known, since our earliest, sentient thoughts, that something was seriously amiss and that we should have had the body, of the opposite gender. Increasingly, it looks like we were right; it seems we have female brains and, in a battle of brain v body, brain will win. That is why we do not agonise over analysing interactions of hormones; we want feminisation and, bring it on, whatever the cost. It is also why we blossom, under a regime of high oestrogen intake.

I feel accepted, as one of the girls; how good is that? Best thing that has happenned to me; ever.
