Thanks for sharing, I believe you are an inspiration to many.

Hi Karen, I'm a little dissapointed that there seems so many US places that are allegedly transphobic, glad that most of you who blog on TG Guide seem to be ok though. I love the slogan at the end of your entry. When I was last in Luxembourg my friend from The Hague selected a tee shirt for me, which I purchased. I wasn't too sure in which context to take the meaning the slogan which when worn is emblazened across my boobs, but I chose to take the generic meaning rather than the saucy version LoL, however it's so similar to the slogan at the end of your entry, I hope that you don't mind my showing the photo below, and I'd also add that transitioning isn't easy...............and in my case was definately worth doing !................ Cheers, Eve

Best wishes for your birthday and vacation

In regards to changing gender on your SS, in Oregon the law is the same BUT as I learned was once I had my driver licence changed the SS process was fine changing my gender prior to bottom surgery. No change in birth certificate was needed. Sorry to hear you can't do the same.

Karen, Wonderful advice! I'm fortunate to have a very strong support system, in terms of friends, co-workers, and medical professionals (family not so much - my cousin and his husband are supportive, but not really anyone else so far, though there's been no open hostility - fortunately I didn't have the closest family relations anyway). My doctor, in fact, when I told him initially the very first thing he asked about was my support system - both in terms of a therapist (I love my current therapist!), and friends, etc. He's always been very good in that respect, he takes a very holistic view of medicine. xoxo Christie

Warren, I really enjoyed both videos, and the new scenery I'm a big fan of rivers, there are several spots along the Hudson that serve as "quiet places" for me (even if I'm sharing them with 100s of people - it's New York, you get used to that). The timing of your video on pansexualism was especially opportune. I happened to be thinking about that as I was walking here earlier (I'm not sure why exactly). Specifically I started to wonder what the specific difference was between being bisexual and being pansexual. I'm not questioning whether it exists, just curious about the definitions and how they differ, so your video was quite helpful (and made me start to think that I'm pansexual, and that I still live too much with a binary view of the world). xoxo Christie

Likewise, and are you one year old or zero years old LoL !

That's how I felt the second I realized I couldn't pretend anymore.

Benjamin, That's so great - congratulations! I actually just got my letter this week as well, and immediately forwarded it to my endocrinologist! And you're right, it can be a difficult journey, but it's absolutely worth it! My own depression lifted almost immediately when I finally openly acknowledged being trans, and it has stayed away ever since. xoxo Christie
