My transgender venturing isn't so much bravery but can be more attributed to stupidity (oh shit, what have I done now?), but often landed on it's paws. even if it where after several times.

She's a success at her own business, married her longtime partner, and is no different from every other woman who did have moments of anxiety, depression, and fear before staying true to themselves.<br /><br />I understand how apprehensive you must be --- I was, too. But like all of your other sisters out there, I have no doubt you can make the jump at the appropriate time. From having listened to Gender Rebels, I have no doubt that you have a partner who will be by your side regardless.<br /><br />All of my own best wishes for you both.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738164844662142917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521813469132348201.post-40993105689602115672016-09-19T14:34:31.137-07:002016-09-19T14:34:31.137-07:00Our ego is very powerful and part of its job is to...Our ego is very powerful and part of its job is to keep us safe. It is the voice that tells us how to behave to stay safe and loved.<br /> But it can get it wrong for example when it tells us to not rock the boat when we know we must, or not to try a new job because we might fail in it.<br />This is the same. <br />There would be something very wrong with you if your ego wasn't screaming out at you.<br />But once the ego experiences that you have come out at work and you are still OK then it will accept that status quo.<br />So thank your ego (self) for its lifetime of earnest concern and let your more rational side guide you.<br />Will be thinking of you and your very courageous step and wishing you success in becoming you.<br />Geraldine Geraldine O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975225271950491895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521813469132348201.post-1095730637413044542016-09-19T11:06:54.805-07:002016-09-19T11:06:54.805-07:00Thank you, Melyssa.

I think there would be more objections to you using the men's room than the ladies , and though there will always be the imbecilic minorities , nobody with any intellect or sense will be laughing at you. Just don't stop telling us of your adventures xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04530842820169899467noreply@blogger.com
