Take your time.  Would love to share your experience as if I was there!  Looking forward to it.☺️💜

When I first became a member, you had a thing in "chatbox" about the convention, asking if anyone was going.  Wish I could've gone but not ready for that stuff yet, hopefully soon, though.  Anyway am dying to hear more about it..  Maybe time for another blog????❤️.  Please.... tell me (us) everything.  Am so glad you feel good about it all.

😉

More on this later . I like you give me insight and things to think about.  Gonna think some more.

Can't really say I've suffered much, but yes struggled immensely.  Just feels so right at this time in my life and I've usually been successful at accomplishing things I put my mind to. As I write this now I'm confident I can and will handle moving forward and I intend to enjoy every moment and am thus far.  I'm sure I will have many, many doubts but I'm a thinker and a doer and I will overcome and adapt to them..   And yes!!  "The joys of incremental progress are phenomenal"  As I'm not a drinker, they are quite intoxicating, too. 

Yes, you seem to be a lot further in transition than I.  But am learning a lot from you and others and am grateful for it.  Gives me more courage every minute.  Thanks

Yep... I did the same exact thing. Except my sister was younger and I had a hard time fitting into clothes and moms were too big and risky. But I still tried everything on! 😂. I can totally relate. My dad did catch me once half dressed as a girl and I just cried and pleaded for him to go away. He stood there for a minute (which seemed like an hour) then seeing the shear terror on my face he walked away. He never said anything about it. Wheeeew. I did stop for a bit but then I just figured out how to get better at hiding it. I do look back now and wonder what life would look like if I had the courage to tell them the truth. I also believe that everything happens for a reason so...... well this is my path. 😊

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!

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

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.❣️
