you did very well. What really spoke to me was the discussion of being very sure before you transition. "[something] and breasts are permanent" and how there comes a point of no return. I am just beginning my transition (almost 8 weeks HRT), but my goal of transition isn't to become a woman, but to make my physical body approximate my bigendered identity. This leads to a lot of trangst about whether this really is the right path for me or if I could just "deal with" having a male-only body forever. Even when i reach my physical goals, I likely won't socially or professionally transition (I mean at work, but that makes transitioning sound like a profession of its own - "What do you do for a living" "Oh, I transition. It's stressful, but the pay sucks..."). So I wonder if the anticipated peace of mind is worth the perpetual in-between state of my body and the serious damage it does to my dating prospects.
Wow, ramble much, do I? Why yes, yes I do.
It was a wonderful interview, I only wish it had been more in-depth and longer.
