How many times do we have to tell people?
THIS IS NOT A CHOICE NOR IS IT A LIFESTYLE! JEESH!

       There are lots of people who have known me simply as a girl who plays a mean guitar or from work or wherever. They haven't had a clue about the journey I've taken to become who I am today. They don't know how stressful it has been living a life that wasn't completely mine for thirty-something years. They don't know the inner struggles, the near life-ending circumstances, the mental anguish and turmoil I have endured. That's okay, most people don't need to know. But as more and more time goes by, more and more people do know. This is, by far, a very good thing!There are too many women out there who are struggling with the very issues I have overcome and the least I can do is support them by being open and proud. Being open and proud doesn't mean I walk around with a sign on my chest saying I'm different, it means that I am happy and unafraid of my life and willing to share it with nearly anyone. 

       If you are someone who thinks that people who deal with the transsexual condition are freaks or perverts, I challenge you to put yourself in my shoes - live each and every moment with guilt, fear, and shame ruling your every emotion. Live each second wishing you had the strength to simply be yourself. If you want to give it a try, then please, read my website (and book). Then hopefully open your mind with compassion and understanding, think about the scientific facts we know about this interesting condition, realize that there are hundreds of thousands of us dealing with it, and read the myriad reports from the social, psychological and scientific communities about it. We do not choose to be this way. That "choice" was made for us before we were even born into this world. We do, however, choose to stop repressing who we are and we choose to live lives that are free and happy, instead of living in the misery and incongruence that so often encompasses those who are born this way.

       I believe that once you learn about what it is like to experience the transsexual condition, you will realize that changing our bodies to be congruent with our minds is as vital to our quality of life as any medical procedure, and this is the most important thing this world needs to understand.

       I no longer believe that I am "transsexual", rather, I dealt with a condition known as transsexualism. We are not "transsexuals", we are people who have been born into the transsexual condition. Like any condition we do what we must do to fix our situation. Once we take care of it we are simply the people we are, women or men, just like anyone else. 

 

Life is about balance; about being in tune with yourself so that you can be in tune with everything, and everyone, else. When there is no peace within, there can be little or no peace in our lives as a whole. We only get one shot to do this, to live, to learn, to enjoy the most precious thing of all: the time that we have on Earth. Don't waste it being miserable. Don't waste it because of fear. LIVE life. How can we live our lives when we are not even ourselves? That is not living... that is waiting to die, or worse... that is living dead. 

I will live my life to the fullest extent possible, or I will die trying.
