transI saw this thing floating around, so I thought I'd answer it.
So how did this all start and how did you end up here?
I realized I was bi when I was about 23. Then when I was 30 or so, I started to realize that I wasn't just bi, but that my liking guys was more a part of me being more female than male inside.
What is your plan to transition? Are you aware that many transsexuals never live a "normal" female life and end up involved with other trans people and in the trans community for the duration of their lives?
I don't at this time plan to ever fully transition. I don't think that decision will change. I do want to more develop my female "persona" though, so I can comfortably exist as either gender. And I am fine with associating with other trans people, but I also have a firmly rooted "normal" life as well. I just consider my trans issues as part of that, since it is "normal" for me.
If you pass perfectly in 3 years, will you tell others about your past?
If I pass as my female self, and someone happens to read me and ask if I am really a bio male, I won't lie to them, unless it looks like they would harm me if they knew the truth, but I hope to never be in that kind of situation.
Why do you want to transition?
I want to more develop the female part of me and express it more outwardly because it's part of who I am and I have denied it for far too long.
What is your sexual orientation and how does your changing your gender effect that?
I am bi, so it would be the same whether I was male or female. ;)
What will you do about employment? Do you plan to transition at work?
Sine I can exist as both male and female, I have no need to make my work life more complicated by bringing my female side into it at all.
Are out to your friends and family? How are they reacting to your decision?
I'm out to certain friends, but not my bio family. And even the friends that know don't know the extent of it or my plans to develop my female self. The only one that fully understands is my fiance.
What is your goal? After you go full-time will you pursue other surgeries?
No surgeries at all for me. I will stick to changes that can easily be reversed for now.
