"It's Like Tourney Selection Day But With WAY More Crying and Shemales"

WARNING: The following letter is an intensely personal account of my life history as it pertains to being a transgendered woman. It's long, sometimes sad, and sometimes it isn't pretty. It's also the single most important thing i've written in my lifetime because it's my key to getting GRS and finally putting the word "transexual" behind me for ( Read more... )

This is really well written. I'm really surprised you want to share it, though.

You can friends lock this, and anything else you've posted, you know? Go in and edit the post, and change the setting from Public to Friends or Private or whatnot. You might REALLY want to do that with something like this, for your protection and any countless number of other reasons.

Good luck, Nina, seriously. :)

Protect me from what hon?

Honestly, the thing about embarassing secrets is that once You have to let them out it makes no logical sense to go back and hide them

Within a month's time that letter should be on the desk of as many as 10 different Doctors and mental health professionals... it's really not a secret anymore.

Besides, i really did mean that part about being okay with transgendered people i don't know reading it... if only because it's an honest assesment of how hard this is.

As for my friends, well some of Ya'll probably CAN fill in the parts i left out... but why would You want to? They're all horrible.

Everything that was ACTUALLY said/mentioned is what i'm okay with people knowing and what i considered relevant. If i'm going to let a bunch of stupid old white men with backwards notions about gender judge me how can i POSSIBLY think this is private anymore?

Fair enough. I just wanted to point it out in case you might have meant to friendslock it, and didn't.

You have a point, though. Well put.

Thanks skittles for wishing me luck, i'm usually not big on it but right now i'm so scared of what happens next i'm half tempted to start praying........

and for someone who doesn't believe in God, Ya GOTTA know that means i'm scared :) I'll take all the help i can get.

My only REAL worry to be honest is that i screwed up some of the dates, and that someone is going to ask me about the childhood/teengage gaps. This gets ALOT harder if people want to see records from Detroit rather than Windsor, if only for access reasons. But honestly, if someone is working on "stopping me at all costs" by reading 10 pages of my live journal and interviewing people to find out if i've ever lived in Detroit...... fuck it i don't care anymore.
