or maybe it was the fact that you insinuated Kimmie was no more than fantasy play for a closet queen. If you honestly can't see that the terminology is offensive, then Kimmie isn't the one with the problem. quote:
ORIGINAL: Euryanx Forced feminization is a a fantasy for uptight closet queens who haven't the balls to use their own free will and just experiment with their gender identity. I mean, come on. This is the year 2005. If you want to put on a dress, for God's sake, just try one on. I tell my friends I am a "recovering transsexual." I took hormones for 8 years (under a doctor's care). Assisyforher... not to disappoint you hon, but herbals are a waste of time. If you want real results, you need to see a doctor. What the Tgirls here told me to do was go into a doctors office, dressed like a woman, and say, "I want a sex change." When i did that, the doctor reached for his prescription pad and put me on premarin, provera and aldactone. He also advised me to see a shrink - which I never did. Well, not until much later. Which was a big mistake. I might have saved myself 5 years of electrolysis, and lots of other trials and tribulations if I'd found a good therapist right up front. Can't say that I regret those 8 years. I look at it now like it was a temporary addiction. I was addicted to the desire to look "pretty." I was 20 pounds lighter, had long hair all the way down my back, and was able to walk the walk without getting 'clocked' for a long time... even dated a NY Ranger hockey player for 3 months one summer... I had a good, fun ride... I'm glad I did it when i was young, and it was possible to be pretty. But when i went into Toby Meltzer's office (an SRS surgeon), and the whole idea of the surgery scared the crap out of me, I backed off, and realized that I was living a lie. Through therapy, i realized i wasn't so much a woman, as a failed man. (Not saying other TS's share my diagnosis... everyone is different) Going back to being a man was just as hard as becoming a woman, but I am SO thankful that I went back. Steve
