First let me state that I am a heterosexual male. I only say that so there is no confusion as to what my identity is and that my comment is not biased in any way. I have believed for a long time that transgendered (if that is the correct term to use) people do not choose to be either male or female, but rather have more hormones or genetics leading them to be who they really are. For instance, since males share both female and male hormones and chromosomes somewhere along the way Males (by birth genitalia) who are transgendered have more female genetics or hormones and by shear accident (if that could be used correctly) had an extra chromosome that gave them male genitalia and features. But, their emotional centers (or what ever it is about us that makes us who we truly are) are controlled by female genetics and female hormones. This applies to transgendered women (by birth genitalia) as well, who feel they are male at heart. Science has only to catch up and find a way to correct this in the womb, before a child grows up being ridiculed for something that is beyond their control. Just as a child that would be born blind could have their eye sight restored or corrected before birth. Calpernia you are a beautiful woman inside and out. Best wishes to you.

It is a difficult and imperfect journey, but you will know if your heart leads you to complete it. Check out http://www.tsroadmap.com/early/earlyindex.html for some good info on early transition, and remember to take care of yourself.

Its simple i think, but most people want to be difficult and make ur life miserable and i live with that daily even though i havent gone through the physical characteristics of my change its scary and seems like a very long life ahead if everyone sees u as a transsexual not a woman and thats what im stuck with right now i got some time to think things through before i go through counseling and start my transition to become what ive always felt is the real me, i still got high school left , then some other obstacles to overcome support is hard to find in South Dakota especially ive since i was born and raised on a native american reservation and all my family is all native and think really bad about gay guys, bisexuals i mean people like that get killed if not that put in the hospital for being that on the rez and i havent told them that i want a "sex change" yet still dont because i dont want to die not from them but from other people i grew up with on the rez and since ive found this site and found out bout calpernia it really feels good to know that you've under gone what you did to be who you are i just need to find some way to be what i want and still please everybody?

Such a clear , lucid and, to me, persuasively argued response! Now, to get more people to read this…
