Greeting HUMANS !!!!!!
Is this what we are debasing society to now?
Humfff

How about we go right back to tours and rename this thread, “How To Be ME!!!! and lets work out of there and see what happens. May sound funny and somewhat light hearted, however how many people do you know that don’t even know who they are; what they represent, what they stand for?
How many people are out there who are pretending to be someone they are not?
Lets strip everything back to the bare boards and start from there. No socialite expectations,no societal norms, no societal unrealistic expression of presentation. All pressure OFF!! Define who or what it is who “ME” is and go forward from there, minding each others business and simply moving forward, to where ever that is
Merry Christmas

Is the very concept of passing problematic? Obviously not. If a 5 year old girl can get it, what’s stopping “us”?
Would “Holly” not be a girl if she had 7 eyes, or 1 ear, or 5 legs? Most probably not. Because according to the 5 year old, see communicated with Holly through her sense of intellect. Nothing more, nothing less. She obviously indentifued Holly as a girl long before she knew what genitalia Holly had.So why do “we” want to make it so difficult? Just go with what your brain says you are. After all, it is THE most powerful organ in the body. Why put limits on yourselves? Whose life do you want to live? Yours; or someone else’s?
I’m an Australian living in America. Does that make me an American? No! It makes me an Australian living in America. I’m a woman living in a slightly different body. Does that make me slightly different? No! It makes me a woman living in a slightly different body.
Christmas cheer

I’m absolutely astonished at the inconclusiveness of TvT’s figures. Only 2 deaths in Australia since 2008? WOW!!
Safe traveling everyone.
Good luck

Off you go Liz. Nothing stopping you from being the start of a movement. Only takes one person to start it. Who knows where it will take up.

Oh well!! That’s a NO for pelvic scanners I guess.
I should have declared in previous posts that I have no interest, real or otherwise in companies manufacturing, promoting or dealing with pelvic scanner.

I hear what you say Adrian. Not every system is perfect,yet. My experience is different to yours which takes the rest room debate off the table.
Lets hope the plebiscite rectifies the matter for you.
In the meantime, I vote for pelvic scanners to resolve the matter.
Best wishes

Adrian found the perfect solution.
Change the birth certificate. Problem solved. Let get on with life and stop this noise. It’s disturbing the beauty of the day.
I don’t see pelvic scanners being installed in rest rooms any time soon.

Certainly seems to be an interesting experience for these guys. Maybe if they evangelised their mates and other guys into taking a little more care in their outward looks and presentation, us women may become a little more interested in them.
I do dislike going out with what can only be described as a dishrag along side of me
I am somewhat bemused at the last comment. I just simply love being me, from a very NON narcissistic position. Being my own best friend gives me the insight on how to treat others as my best friend.
Be happy

Hi Julie,
Not sure how far along the path you are on this topic. There are tow matters you may need to consider, if not already done so. The first is physical, the second is psychological. I have gleamed these perspective from 3 women who have undergone BA in the past 3 years.
The first one being physically related concerns your thoughts on hormone therapy, either now or in the future. Either way you need to be aware of the changes associated with any form of HT. I am aware, some people using HT can experience growth spurts even 10 years on. Changes associated with HT can therefore change your physical outline which may not be complementary.
The second matter is the psychological aspect. After the initial euphoria has wained and life goes back to some form of normality, all 3 women have reported varying degrees of disassociation with their new appendages. Two have sort assistance from their therapist / counsellor and are dealing with the matter, the other hasn’t and still finds the disassociation difficult to dealt with.
To be forearmed is to be forewarned. Hope everything work out for you.
Best wishes

Wait till you try the real deal. That’s when the fun really starts. Makes shows like this look like Play School.
Start your own TV show and transition. It’s character building. :woohoo: :pinch:

Hi Sammie,
Self acceptance always goes a long way to defeating those fears that never eventuate. The easiest way to disarm agression is not to take personal ownership of other peoples opinions. How you perceive yourself is essentially how the world perceives you. Just focus on being who you are, that’s all you can ever expect to do in life. What outcomes occur from that is simply the icing on the cake.
Hope to see you round in 2016

I often wonder whether the yardstick of acceptance is the an appropriate beacon to gauge the level of happiness one seeks.
Obviously self acceptance is an imperative. Without self acceptance, it’s like having a car without an engine. Pretty to look at, nice to sit in, but it’s not going anywhere.
However, I believe irrespective of who or what you are, it’s impossible to aspire, least of all attain acceptance, either consciously or subconsciously, by everyone in our circle of influence. And that circle of influence can be as wide as the general public we’ve never met that we encounter each and every day.
Happy New Year

Hi Liz,
It may still be with you, but you have the choice to empower it, or disempower it.
Everyone has the right of their own opinion, it’s up to those who that opinion is directed at to accept or decline ownership of the opinion.
Disempower it like water on a ducks back and disown it.
Happy New Year

What if, there was no label to cling onto? How would that change the dynamic?
