"I should not even write this here. After all, I'm a mod; mods don't cry." --Emma Yes, even mods cry. I don't like to cry. Don't like to admit that I do. I've denied it when I've been caught. I fight it when the urge to do so hits me. Crying gives me a headache. Maybe 'cause I fight it. But sometimes... we have to have an outlet. And sometimes...the only outlet, is to cry. -Michael

Yes even after 3 years of oestrogen and 15 months of decapeptyl, I still fight the urge to cry, such is the power of societal conditioning. It's so hard to instantly change one's sub-conscious values, that have been learnt over such a long period of time.....................................................

Great post, Emma! A moving one, with which I and I would think many others identify. It sounds banal to say 'be yourself' ; it's hard to have confidence in the power to be just that. Doubt is appropriate in this confusing world. It's hard to distinguish appropriate doubt from under-confidence. (one can wonder about the extent to which being trans is likely to lead to both appropriate doubt and under-confidence). You are exceptionally thoughtful in your dialog with others, so your communication is certainly not 'all about you'. But it is appropriate for your blog to be 'all about you'. Love to you honey, Debs xx

Hiya Chrissy.. The name Chrissy is Lovely by the way. A Very Pretty; Very Feminine Name. As You and I, and So Many Other's know, Gender Dysphoria is Real. Like You, I dislike those who question the Reality of Gender Dysphoria. It Is So Very Real. I have Known since I was 3 Year's Of Age, that I Am Female, Trapped, In A Male Body. There are so Many other aspects of The Gender Dysphoria, which have reared their Ugly heads, over the Year's. " Coming-Out " was like having a Massive Weight, Lifted-Off, Both of My Shoulder's. Living Fully Full-Time, as a Female, has made Me feel so much happier, and calmer in Myself as well. Your New Profile Photograph, shows what a Lovely, Pretty, Beautiful, and Happy Young Lady, that You have now become. Chrissy, Have a Great Weekend. Good Health, Take Care, And My Very Best Wishes, Love Stephanie. xx
