I'm not a brick or a stone, but a thinking, feeling human being, but I'm also intelligent. I knew at the start not everyone is going to understand or accept me being transgendered or transitioning, but take a look at the postings before this and you'll quickly realise that I'm not much different to other people who aren't transgendered and certainly am not a special case. I could be a victim or a drama queen if I really wanted to be, but why waste the energy and emotion?


It doesn't really bother me what other people think of me. I know who I am, so do the people who I am close to, people who I work with, and people who I live among. The kids in the local street know me, they say hello, they know me by name, and there are more people who are positive and supportive. And to me, these are the only people who matter.

I'm a transgendered female. This doesn't happen too often, but I get every so often the comments, the stares, the sniggers, and people who feel it their moral public duty to out me. 'That's a man.' I also get ignored, excluded, and usually within the first three questions of anyone wanting to get to know me is trying to find out whether I have had surgery or not, what is in my underwear, who I sleep with, how and when. Can you imagine what it's like when you're waiting for a bus in the afternoon and ignoring a group of teenage schoolkids who are jeering at you, making fun, taking photos of you on their cellphones and passing comments, and the other people at the bus stop are just, like.. er well standing there as if nothing's happening?

You have all made me smile... yes...even you roughleather! Thank you all for your kind words, support and encouragemnt. I apologize for the confusion regarding the webcam and how it works in those rooms. I trust we are all on the same page now, and that is clear that I left myself open to be viewed by anyone who wanted to.. yes... to all those wanting some kinky fun and relief from their lunchtime boner!!
All kidding aside, I have learned a great lesson.. and am moving forward. I dont know how to close this topic... but if any of you do, please feel free.
