The Further You Go Down the Wrong Road.....

the more you have to undo.
That is something I have been thinking about as of late.
The purest TG is the person who, at ages 3-4 simply ups and says (or expresses through action) that he/she wants something other then what they are.
They have no real knowledge of the different body parts, or their functions, or the different roles each gender is assigned.
They simply want.
Over time, the reasons for what they want are obscured by layer upon layer of social excuses. They are called cross-dressers or drag queens (among other things) and they scale the initial basic desires into aspects of those roles.
Now, I know some people are going to say that:
BUT NOT EVERY TG WANTS TO GO ALL THE WAY TO S.R.S.!
I happen to agree with this as well.
What I feel is right for me might not be right for someone else.
I happen to believe that the many aspects of sexual identity are like fingerprints. Each unique to the individual.
But I do believe, as I said at the start of this post, that there IS a basic desire/drive/urge at the start of things that is pretty much un-muddled by complex reasons or role playing.

Transgender and/or genderqueer documentaries/films

[pirate-poet.livejournal.com]

There are many transgender and/or genderqueer documentaries and films out of there, a lot of them alright, but a lot of them also not good at all.

If YOU could have any kind of trans and/or genderqueer documentary made, what would you want it to address and include? Who would you want to see? What issues do you think aren't discussed that need to be be discussed?

I'm really curious to hear all sorts of different answers.

Spiro and physical changes.

[mae-mdwst.livejournal.com]

Hi Everyone,

I just started spiro and I’m wondering what others experience has been. Not so much the increased need for bathroom breaks, but other physical changes. I’m fully expecting to take the hit to my energy level in the next few weeks due to lower “T” levels.

I have yet to start taking any form of “Estrogen” --I’m planning on starting that in about 3-4 months.

So what were your experiences with physical changes from “spiro”?

P.S. A little background info... I’m 5’9” about 160 lbs. and 38 years old.
