Who gets to take the blindfold off?
Welcome to our world, those of us who have transitioned and to those who will. Once you transition, you don't get to take the blindfold off. On bad hair days you don't get to be a boy....when you're makeup just doesn't look right, you don't get to be a boy. Transition, for better of worse, is just that. Living your life as the gender you identify with, not the sex you were born with, 24/7/365.
Transitioning isn't easy, but we don't want the sympathy of others. It just burns some of us when a CD/TV trys to tell us they know what it's like, what we're going through, or how to do it. Sorry, but you don't know, can't know, because you can take the blindfold off whenever you want. That doesn't make us better, or worse....just one more way to recognize our differences. CD/TV's want us to recognize them, fair enough....but please don't demean us and try and tell us you know how we feel or what we've been through. If you did, you'd be TS.
Transitioning isnt easy.... but I wouldn't have it anyother way.
