Thank you.<br /><br />I might look back and mention that being trans, accepting my two sides and all that has meant in my case, has made me think more about the human condition and become more sympathetic for challenges others wrestle with. <br />Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-83829058282210706562013-06-14T02:45:33.038-04:002013-06-14T02:45:33.038-04:00Is there a distinction between your being trans, ...Is there a distinction between your being trans, and a thinking and caring person?

Although some days it is hard to have someone else pushing me to be the best, I am whole heartedly grateful that Nadine does this for me. Some where along the way, I did loose my "muchness" and want it back. Yet it seems that having lost that muchness has made it hard for me to see my path forward, and I have been sooooo Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283498550725648410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-59607662107996280542013-06-10T16:33:12.833-04:002013-06-10T16:33:12.833-04:00So, I have been thinking a bit on your question, &...So, I have been thinking a bit on your question, 'must a balloon always be a balloon'. It seems to me that circumstance limited our opportunities to exploit our lighter nature fairly soon after we joined up. Perhaps she has forgotten just how buoyant she really was and how together we were able to soar early on. <br />Maybe it has to do with how she perceives my lightness now and seeing Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-61670111256234520692013-06-10T16:06:52.166-04:002013-06-10T16:06:52.166-04:00Nadine, I feel as you do, and you have put it beau...Nadine, I feel as you do, and you have put it beautifully, when you write about how when you remove yourself from the situation you truly believing this is best for her. <br /><br />Now I need to get a copy of Tim Burton's movie.Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-8420344738012101602013-06-10T15:40:49.707-04:002013-06-10T15:40:49.707-04:00It pleases me no end to be able to relate as a per...It pleases me no end to be able to relate as a person, here and at your blog and thereby get to dialogue with you and now Tom, and yes; all because of you! <br /><br />My question to the world at large: <i>Dare I believe my scribbles here have more to do with challenges of being a thinking, caring person than being trans? </i>Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-53389603841155289522013-06-10T15:27:18.145-04:002013-06-10T15:27:18.145-04:00Here I am with my 'why' questions.

Why do I continue reading your blog on a regular basis since I know as much as I want to know about gender dysphoria, why has Tom started to blog recently, why am I so very pleased thinking that you and Tom might start a dialogue? The fact that I trust you both can't be the only answer to my 'why' questions.

Yet I do fear to tread into this delicate problem. I think I would need to ask whether a balloon must always be a balloon, or whether it must change and achieve its buoyancy in some other way.<br /><br />I answer in this manner because I cannot easily turn away from a question expressed in such a heartfelt manner.
