Everyone's situation is unique, so we all have to find our own way of coping with the monster.<br /><br />I think I said this once before, but probably not to you. I once saw a 60 minutes segment, where Mike Wallace was interviewing the actor Robert Shaw, beside the pool behind Shaw's home.

It took over 50 years, but I think I'm finally there. The result is that I am free to embrace my femininity without that guilt. Freedom from guilt allows me to learn to express that femininity in different ways, other than just dressingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-4014520146268652032010-09-30T15:29:48.879-04:002010-09-30T15:29:48.879-04:00As others have said, that was a great post - and a...As others have said, that was a great post - and although, as you say, we are all different there was one sentence that struck home.

As much self-destruction comes out of basic self-denial as comes from gender dysphoria directly. <br /><br />I wish you much luck and success continuing to cope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-60218906207868744002010-09-30T10:37:46.496-04:002010-09-30T10:37:46.496-04:00You are 100% correct.
