6. Well, a sex change isn't really for everyone, y'know?

I mean, it's one thing to have a normal curiousity about the experiences of the opposite sex at the very least... or to do drag simply as a lark, a bit of rock n' roll rebellion or because it gives your night a lil' extra charge... but that's all a far cry from knowing, from an early age, that your intrinsic gender identity is in direct opposition to your physical form. And that it's gonna make your life impossible. And very very lonely.
I personally really resent being stuck under one big umbrella term of "transgender" with basic fetishists such as gay drag queens and transvestites, or professional female impersonators, and the entire array of genderfuckers in between... cuz more power to all these beautiful people, really... but the fact is, I needed an operation all my life. One I barely dream of anymore.
I wish I were anything else; anything else would be preferable.
Not that I don't love my life, for what it's been worth. I've made the best of an impossible situation. Never thought I'd last this long. I just keep surprising myself.
The lack of response on this post overall seems to support my original thesis, that transsexuals are still the greatest taboo, and it's pretty much okay when they are murdered and dismembered and so forth, even on this hip-as-it-gets-these-days forum, which I have enjoyed posting on for over a decade now, so many brilliant people here--though I have not been as open about my sexual status in the past here--I just wanted to help in any way I could to stem the tide of merciless mediocrity engulfing America of late. I used to do a lot of humor posts.



Anyways, I also tend to think that everyone is bisexual, under the right circumstances. I see that as a basic of human sexual potential.
So ROCK ON, baby!!... and nice to meetcha!
