Some thoughts on being transsexual

Yanno, I get some saying to me "I would so love to be a transsexual" (usually crossdressers or males who have some female clothing fetish of sorts).

Listen. Being transsexual is NOT a "choice" or "lifestyle choice". In reality I am female... I am just stuck between sexes. It should not be a "wish" or "want to" thing, it is a need. A need to change from the sex you were born into, into the one you should have been born into because inside you are that sex and not the outwardly displayed one.

It is not an easy thing. Medical stuff aside, there is a lot of social issues to be considered.

First, no transsexual fully "passes". I hate that word. There is always something that gives it away. Believe me. No amount of "feminizing" surgery will ensure 100% "passing". Things that give it away? Height, shoulders, hands, adams apple, rib structure, feet, nose, chin, brow, receding hairline, voice... and a few others for sure. No amount of feminizing surgery will remove shoulders, chest, hands, feet. Yeah, you can get your brow done, nose, chin, adams apple... but there will be something that will "give you away". I can spot no problem, and so can most.

You "wish you were TS"??? Okay... so you want to be stared at? Insults flung at you? Giggles as you walk by? Being called "sir" even though you are obviously looking female? Perhaps even being physically assaulted just for looking the way you do? Have every person who contacts you on the internet always thinking that you want sex because you are TS and that is all they want from you? You want to lose friends, family, and perhaps even your job? Then yeah, go ahead! lol

Seriously, think on those things FFS. I didn't go through all this and live in the sex I should have been because I wanted or wished for those things. I did it to be happy. Despite losing friends, family and any job hopes, I am happy. Despite the insults, giggles, and even assaults, I am happy. I did it because I needed to. Needed to be me and not live a lie. Don't think on doing it because you "wish" or "would like to be". Do it because of the right reasons.
