Eve, I certainly can't say that I was never happy as a man, but there was so much more unhappiness, and a general feeling of something being not right (in some of my more depressed states I consciously thought "why can't I just be normal?" or something like that). And I've definitely been happier since "coming out" and starting to transition. The "malaise" that had followed me through almost my entire life lifted almost immediately and has stayed away. I don't say that I'll never be depressed again, but it seems like it won't be as all-encompassing as it was. xoxo Christie

Christie, I found that as soon as I had changed my name and was on homones I have been treated as female by medical staff. Yes, I got sent appointments for smear tests, breast screening etc., it made me laugh out loud, don't know how they'd do a smear test on me...................! Yes (or should I say no!) I can't say if I was happy as a male or not, but I do feel happier as female perhaps differently, depends on what or how we each construe or define as happiness........& that's getting too philosophical for me.... Please post your performance links! Cheers, Eve
