Coming Out Part 3

Read my featured story and you'll find out.

I would chat with you to ask my questions.

Like I've said to others, you really need to read up on them. If you care for me to, I'll explain it in a PM but not here.

Thank you. That is what I intend to do, I need to wait. I used to be really hyper over this telling myself, " I need to do it, I need to do it " just to be socially accepted. I can get the surgery to close of the female parts down there, but I don't have the money for a full MtF gender reassignment. If I did, it would make the decision a lot easier. I'm also very scared to get it done.

Well from 1 herm to another ..... you are here on this earth for a reason and you need to find out just what it is and the only way you can do this is to not only accept yourself for who and what you are but to realize the importants of your being for what it is and all its worth. I know and did realize myself and not only am I proud of my body but I am also proud of being lesbian. To be honest ...beause I read your first posting ..... you and I would have a good time together not only talking about sex and stuff but I think we understand each other with similar interests ...... but again whos to say.

Thank you :) best of luck to you as well :)

Thank you, but I am confident it will be great. Not only will I get to be a wife, but my Joseph has a 13 year old daughter as well, so I will get to live my dream of being a mother. Lord, isn't life interesting and strange?

It definitely seems like the stars aligned for you :) I'm very happy to hear that you're a mom, it's a very nice thing. A special thing. Life is the best damn thing anyone has ever done. I wished that more people saw this way. I know I'm not exactly one to talk, but during my high points, I can see the world for what it truly is. It's more than what I could as for :)

My dear friend, if you only knew. As a man I went to Vietnam and had to kill people. I got married, had two children, now both adults, got divorced in 2007, had health problems, I have been very close to death at least 20 times, and most recently spent three months in a coma on life support. So now I am 61, transgender, living as a female and in love with a man. I have never been happier. As much as you love your Amy, I love my Joseph and I really wish there was a way I could marry the male fool. I admire your life, because you have options I never had and a choice to make, something I couldn't do either. I know which way I would go, but it is your life and you must do as you choose. I will still be your friend either way

You have choices that I've never gotten to choose either. I wish I had gotten the choice of my looks. Moreso through high school, than anything else. Have the choice to have breasts. Be able to do certain things, like enter a public bathroom without fear. I never got that choice, it was placed upon me. Nonetheless, I love who I am now. Yes, there are times, where I question who I am, but for the most part, I do love myself. I wish there where a way we could switch bodies and gain each other's experiences. I would like to know what it's like to be what you've been through. I find your story interesting and I would like to know how it is to live what you've been through. You're the one person on this site that I feel the closest to in experience.

Thank you so much for all of that. You are the one person here I would be happy to change lives with, for a while at least. In my day, feminine boys had no options, and all my life I cross dressed in secret. Last summer, my wonderful friends here helped show me I am transgender, so I transitioned, joined support groups and have been living as Teri ever since. I adore everything about being female and envy you your young beauty. I am barely passable, but no matter. I no longer care what society thinks of me. Hell, they've hated me for 40 years already. I am happy at last and will never go back

Now, now. I can't pass off that well either. Sure, I do look fairly feminine, but the moment I open my mouth and talk, heads are turned and people sneer at me. My name was originally spelled Jesse, up until my late teens. Teachers had sat me down to talk about how I dressed and asked me why. Initially, my parents wanted me to dress femininely. I didn't like it but I gained the liking afterwards. The kids I went to school with knew that I was a boy and growing up in a school where it wasn't socially accepted, was really hard. 2001-2006 where the years I had started hs until graduating. These where the years of severe bullying. After that, when I had moved out on my own, here to California, I had hid the fact that I was a boy out of fear. My ex's tried to exploit me and tell everyone I knew what I was, I had denied it. I finally came out and I had lost a ton of friends and it slowly placed me in a slump. I can't lie and say that I don't care what people think. I do, but I try not to let them have that power over me. I am who I am, I am comfortable with myself, I have a loving sister, a loving fiance, loving family and circle of friends - online and offline. I would be stupid not to hold on.

Lord, that is just so moving. Please know that you have one friend in me who will never desert you, never criticize you and who will always support you. We are generations apart, but we are very much the same. I know what I want, not you have to find your path. By the way, I love you

*hugs* thank you so much :) I'm glad I have a friend in you. Age doesn't matter..I luv you too :)

Thank you so much, and please know you are a beautiful person no matter the gender

Same to you :)

Thank you, keep in touch. I have others to attend to, but believe me, I will be your friend forever.

It took lots of courage!
