Alright, I need some help from the peanut gallery. I'm going to do a "what its like being transgender" chapter in the book. I know what questions _I_ get asked. What questions do _you_ have? Don't be afraid to ask "silly" questions or "embarassing" ones. I'll answer honestly, and consider adding the question and answer to the book.

Anything you wanna know?

Just want to say... I don't think I've *ever* been asked questions about my trans* experience. I think it's mostly because A) most of the people I hang out with regularly are transgendered, themselves, and B) the professional environments I've been in are all pretty savvy about such things (or at worst assume it's my own private affair and they shouldn't pry).

Oh, wait. I think I might have been asked "Are you happier now?" once or twice. Their response to my positive has invariably been to the effect of "Then that's all that matters."

And, for the record, I'm *very* cognisant of the fact that I've been remarkably lucky in terms of acceptance and understanding. At least as far as transition is concerned, I've lived a charmed life and I know it.

Strangely, one of the questions I'm asked most frequently is 'Do you have a lingerie wash-bag?' Go figure.
