I've Always WONDERED IF, too. But don't think that would have been the right time for me. Just would never forget it and had a deep down feeling when the time was right it would happen. Still wished it happened sooner in my life, but OH WELL!

I love it how we think about our lives and others and what we do affects and guides others. Nice common thread!

Yes, I've always looked back, too . Got real good at hiding it too; but am now working hard to not hiding it and looking forward for a change.❣️

Yes am learning that. Thank you

Dear Jessica and Christy, Years ago, I babysat for a little girl and her brother. One day, while playing, he asked if he could dress as a girl (he was about four). Allowed him, he and his sister played as if two sisters, and the next time I babysat for them, I asked if he wanted to dress as a girl again. Was a teenager then, and I knew nothing about transgender issues. Felt relieved he did not want to dress as a girl again, and apparently he "got it out of his system." Never told their parents. Have the ability to sense gender energy, as well as "future sexual orientation energy," and I sensed he would grow up heterosexual and a man. He was just exploring, and I think children should be allowed explore. Felt as a result I was "cool" about it, that I helped him affirm that he was heterosexual and will grow up to be a man. How would I handled it if I picked up that he was going to grow up to become a woman or a homosexual man? Probably I would have said nothing, as I was aware of my gift but did not understand it. All I could do was describe what I was "seeing," and cause upset and confusion among the parents. By the time I was a teen, I only shared my gift in life and death circumstances, and only by describing what I saw. Tried to help others by seeking a "natural" explanation to what I was seeing. The transgender community has helped me to understand my gift. For that, I will always be grateful. Your friend, Monica

Dear Emma and Christy, Sadly, in Tampa Bay and upstate NY, I feel money and looks ("lookism") is important to the Lesbian community. (Interestingly enough, I didn't see this in the Lesbian community in Brooklyn, NY!) This gave me permission to be more inclusive towards Lesbian transwomen. Some would call me poor (monthly income, $857.00), and fat (269 lbs. at 5'8"), but I focus on that I am not seeking a "sugar mama," and despite many attempts at weight loss, I have adrenal fatigue, as a result of post encephalitis syndrome, preventing weight loss. Be aware on what you can "bring to the table," and what your true needs are. Have many friends who are poorer and fatter than I am, and vice versa. Your friend, Monica

Sounds like a terrific plan to me, Michelle. You gotta live somewhere and $686/month is pretty low. Best wishes on a smooth sale of your house and fun times setting up your new home!
