Question of the Week
Question: " How can I get the strength to start the real life test? I started taking hormones, at the age of 32. I have realized and accepted my transexuality (rather late ?). Now, I want to proclaim and reveal my true gender to my family, but most importantly to my work and my everyday life and workplace and even become a transactivist. " (from: Denise, London, United Kingdom) Question: " I have acknowledged my transgendered nature for many years yet now I am feeling a strong sense of disconnection from my entire life and society. I am also feeling such a strong desire to shake off my male identity to the point of having a hard time getting up in the morning and facing the world as John. These feelings are gradually intensifying despite counseling and attempts by my wife and children to accommodate my needs. We would probably face discrimination and maybe financial strife if I were to transistion, and there would be problems at home dealing with the consequences to my relationship with my wife etc. At what point, and according to what criteria, should a tranny choose a new life and start moving down the road to transition? How does one find the courage to go through with it? " (from: Josie, California) |

My gender is really connected to Native struggles and de-colonization movements." | |
