Winding down the personal stuff....

[dolari]

After a long talk with Erin and Lissa, I have to admit, in "That" post, I mispoke. And that misspeakyness has cause a lot of bruised feelings.

I'm not admitting my viewpoint is wrong. But that I mispoke it. Seeing as I've talked to them at length about my viewpoints and they understand me, they pointed out where I got fuzzy.

So here's where I try to fix that:

My viewpoint, the viewpoint I've had about my transness all my life, is that I am a woman. A woman wired into a male body. No matter what I do to that body to make it look more female, in the end, it is a male body does not make you any more of a woman. Having electrolysis kills the beard, but does not make the body any more female you any more of a woman. Taking hormones to rearrange the body fat and grow breasts, does not make it any less male you any more of a woman. The surgery removes the penis and creates a neo-vagina, but does not make your body any less male OR more female you more of a woman.

My point is - I am a woman, I have always been a woman, and while I would love to get surgery, surgery really doens't make me any more of a woman that I already am.

Still the damage has been done. Once the sub surfaces, I can see how bad the damage is.
