The End of an Era

[radargrrl.livejournal.com]

The Neli and I visited our friend Dean at La Rez yesterday. He was back there because of complications from his own SRS last October.

It turns out that he's on the very last wave to stay there. La Maison de l'Isle will be closing to trans-patients as of the end of this week. The Montreal clinic is opening a new facility, a more hospital-like setting, not too far from the Clinic on de Salaberry, to take its place.

So, while it might not be on a par with the passing of the torch from Biber to Bowers, for the many people that look towards Montreal for their own kick at the SRS can, and for those of us that have had the Montreal experience, this really is the end of an era. I don't think the new place will have that same sort of homey touch that La Rez does.

Pix to follow, just as soon as I can get them out of the camera. Possibly the last ones taken of the place as it's known to trans-people worldwide.

help me please.

I dont know who I am... I am 19 years old, and I guess im at some sort of crossroads in my life.

I was born male. when I was 13 I fell in love with my neighbor the girl who lived next door, whom I had known since I was 5. when we were younger, she and I were just always friends, but when she was 13 She was a Lesbian, but our love kinda just came from our general caring for each other. And it was great. A little ways into our relationship however she realised that she prefferred girls, and rather than end it, she went about slowly feminizing me. About a year later, I was completely mentally female. And I was basicly fully prepared to have my sex changed when I turned 18. Shortly after this, she moved away. We kept our relationship alive over the internet, but after awhile things just collapsed. A year later, I was realatively back to myself exactly as I was before we started dating. And everything was fine. though as time dragged on I kept going into these regressed phases, where I'd see myself as Female, and think like a Girl again. This fluxated on and off for many years. Ive never publicly cross dressed, but have to myself a few times. I do have a very girlish figure, and semi girlish face aside from the facial hair. and my hair is pretty long.

But Im not sure what I want, I think I would really like to be a girl right now, but at the same time, once I turn 60 Id much rather prefer to be an Old man.
And my Family is very cruel, Im very sure if I turned into a girl no one would forgive me except maybe my mom.

Basicly now theres this girl Im seeing, and things are going ok, I feel like shes the one and I could marry her and be normal and all. But at the same time, I feel like, if we broke up, Id probaly completely give up on being a guy once and for all. Move somewhere else, and start anew. On another note, I really would like to see my Old girlfriend again one last time, but she lives on the other side of the country now.

What the hell should I do...

My mum has decided shes going to support me on this long haul, I can't even explain how happy and relieved I am about this. But anyways, she asked me about what parental support groups/websites there are out there. So...does anyone know of any?

Anyone else going to True Colors on March 25 in Connecticut? If so that'd be cool because i am definately going with my GSA. We (my GSA) will all split up once we get there and it'd be cool to meet some fellow FTMs.

Alright. Hope to see you all there!.
