"I was wondering. For some of us we lived in one gender because it was necessary to survive. We did not know why we were different. Then we discover that we are TS. after or during transition it seems as though identity is very transit. Is it normal to feel yourself flipping back and forth in identity. One minute you feel very female. another you feel male. It is a bit confusing. Just how female should MtF feel or how male Should a FtM feel."
