LOL! I apparently totally missed that last part with the "high five" the first time. That's both uberly epic and uberly awkward at the same time. It totally made me laugh :D Nice!

hi i just wanted to ask you what really makes the difference between men and women in personality i mean. how can one feel male or female? it just interests me so don't feel offended : )

[aeiouy123]

I don't think it's a question of personality, because there are girls who are more 'guyish' than most guys, and guys who are more 'girlish' than most girls, but still see themselves as the biological sex they were born with. It has more to do with the individual's internal conception of their identity. It's also a feeling that never goes away. Most transgendered people come to know themselves through the little things in their lives, what attract them, and what's most comfortable to them.

thank you

my ex girl friend is now becoming a man so i'm interested in the topic and i want to catch up on it a little bit

Haha! This is better than the one I have ready to go for Tuesday :P

You had an interesting question, though.

My answer:

I wouldn't mind as much, because I wound not feel like I had to fear for my safety (it is a very stressful transition, after all, because our fellow humans can, and have, made our lives hell), but it would not abolish my dysphoria.

I would still want HRT, FFS, and SRS, even though all those doctors don't exist in this scenario... Hmmm...

Well, I mean what you know :P

That's a great question! :) Good intro to us! :D
