The one and only thread – how do you identify yourself?
-
When I introduced myself to my shrink, I told him I was a crossdresser. I then went on to explain that I believe my crossdressing is a result of being trans-gendered. When I’m with friends I am a woman and introduce myself as such.

Oh I see, this is a secret way of bashing Queenslanders… You southerners will end up with non-bent ‘nana’s if you are not careful, and beer that actually says BEER on it, so watch out! *smiles*

Cogito Ergo Sum – I think, therefore I am
I’m a girl, and always have been. That I was born with an aberrant gender development is irrelevant

When I first started on my Journey, I considered myself a CD ( we all know the Abb’s ) I had no idea as to where I was headed all I knew was that I was different and what I was doing felt right to me.
It wasn’t until I started talking to my shrink that my direction clarified and I considered all the people who had influenced my choices and what my feelings where one the whole thing. One thing that I did see was that I could never be fully female. That is just not possible with today’s medicine. I can never feel what it’s like to have a life develop inside me. However at some point on my way I should be able to give milk so Hopefully I can feel what it’s like to give nourishment to a new life.So where does that leave a person I’ve always felt that I will never be able to “pass” in today’s society. And as this was a search for me, what I need is inside me and no amount of cosmetic alteration is going to change that, I feel that surgery would defeat the purpose of the exercise anyway.
So once again where does that leave a person. Looking for a different direction, people & feelings. One person who stood out was being interviewed on the Parkinson Show, Eddie Izzard. He’s an English transvestite comedian and it was his attitude that had a big influence on me. It was along the lines of ” and just why can’t I wear female clothing & makeup’. There have been other influences of course two of them from the Denton Show one was one of those little Tag stories and one was an audience member. The Tag story was about a living book in Sweden I think but her Creed is what caught me, it was ” Be yourself everybody else is already taken ” ( & you’ll find that on the bottom of all my Emails ). The other was an audience member who had transitioned and had come to regret it later, Her attitude was that she was now a happy hermaphrodite. I do not want to get to that position
What this forum has shown me and the very fact that this forum exists proves is that the gender diversity in the human race as a whole is a very wide and complicated thing. Yes we are CD’s Yes we are TV’s & TS’s & Trans etc etc. Hell there are even people out there who happily identify as either Male or Female. I personally feel that I can never be female & I’ve never considered myself to be fully male either, So I guess that just makes me Gender-queer

What term do I use to describe myself?
Woman.
I’m not overly fond of any of the other labels bandied about in the community.
