And though I will never likely see or meet you if I could, right now I feel like I would give you a great big giant loving hug for your efforts to help that happen some day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so very much for your practical reasoning. It’s an uphill batlle, you know. Maybe someday we will have those Star Trek transporters that will be able to simply reprogram our physical shapes and genders until we are properly gender tuned. People like us won’t have to spend so much life worrying about these things or suffering the penaltiy and live with some inner peace. Wouldn’t that be nice? “Normals ” take so much for granted.

I live in Mexico, I’m 40 years old and currenly in the process of transition from MtF.
I agree totally with you. I know that I’m not sick or “possesed” ( some of may family members even try to get me to a catolic priest, so i can defeat the daemon that possesed me), i know that I like a lot of aspects of my live as a man, even a lot of traditional “male” forms of thinking. But I know to that I love a lot of “female” forms of thinkng, and that I want to be fisically a full Woman.

The problem as your great artice saids, is in the basic and binary concept of gender, that rules the form we as individuals are perceived, treated and the way the real and actual limits to the free expretion of our true being in our own lives, are set (especially in societies so conservative and traditional as the Mexican).

Here from Mexico City I send you all my support and ofer my help in anything I can do for this OUR real struggle
