I think a little bluntness solves so many problems. Of course, I've been accused of being overly blunt int he past, so I may be biased to your worldview.

Dear Michele, Really respect you for being so straightforward. Very much appreciate it. Because I am straightforward on my dating profiles, I thought others would appreciate it, but I learned most don't, because they are into games. Has been my experience that people are VERY DIFFERENT than their dating profiles. As for face to face meetings, which I prefer, it has been my experience that people are able to communicate on so many levels, that I am better able to discern who I resonate or am more compatible with. Your friend, Monica

Thank you Emma! I am so excited and happy. Yes, Merry Christmas to me. This has been quite a journey for me.

Wow! Great for you! Merry Christmas!

Kitrah, you definitely aren't alone in the similarities we all have, but this title I won't renounce because the surgery is done, when it is done. It just makes me the person I am and I also know it feels like I sometimes have it easier with newer people that I meet. But I have gone so far as to put on a bio of myself which I will explain in my next post. Because I have nothing to hide. Emma, as always it is good reading your comments and inspiration that you shine through... Love and Hugs Michele

Thank you Emma. She did it again. Apparently Nikki didn't take her to her crate when he went to bed, but she put herself in her crate before I went, so I thought she had, and she came downstairs when we were sleeping and ate the rest of the homemade bread I had out in the kitchen to dry out to make french toast. *headdesk* This dog is out to get me this week. So now Nikki and I have a strict protocol that whoever goes to bed first must take the dog with her or make sure the other person is aware to stop this scavenging monster! And today it's hit the funny stage. Yesterdays temper is today's laughter I suppose.

It didn't work out the way you meant but Nikki knows what you do for him, and you both are doing great. Hang in there kiddo. Emma

I've never been on your road, but I do understand it is a hard one and I think you handle it with a great deal of humor, grace, and self-awareness that will help you on this journey. I wish you all the success in the world and an awesome life to fill your future!

Congratulations for your 12 years! well done you should be so proud. Please by all means show anyone who might find this post helpful or even just posting on social media.

Hey Blair As always, I'm a big fan of your videos and love reading your posts. When I was younger I went through drug addiction / recovery. It's wonderful to see you writing about your journey. And it makes me proud to see trans folk like us being open and showing other folks who went through or who are still going through this difficult stuff that recovery is a long road, but a worthwhile one. I'm 12 years sober. Keep at it. Always love seeing your work. Love Charl

Go, go, go. :-)

Hi Emma, I can share some of your reflections and add some of my own. I remember playing mummy in the Wendy house as a five year old too, playing tea parties. Joining the girls and wanting to be one of them. It was ok for them to play with me if they were alone but not so much when they were in a gang. They wanted to be mummy or a model and being a boy I was last in line for that role I was also confused and just didn't understand why I had a boys body when I was a girl. I had no interest in being a boy and so I became isolated. My boy friends were always those like myself who didn't quite fit in. Well no good getting maudling. I know I learned that it was wrong to be how I felt and learned how to suppress it even at that early age. My shame and guilt guided me into pretending to be a boy. My advice to anyone reading this is not to do as I had to. Things are so much more open now. Don't build walls around yourself to keep yourself safe. Take a risk, knock down the walls and take your inner girl out to play. She will love you for it. X
