Personal Stuff for Me!!

What a great idea, personal history. So T-girl #2.. sounds like the dating game (lol)..

I'm 27 and I have been living FT as a woman for 7 years.. more like 6 if you don't count that aweful first year. I was lucky, I figured my stuff out pretty darn early. I also remember dreading the mirror in the bathroom, shaving my beard the first time and being really depressed, being that scrawney little gay boy in gym class.

I went to college and because of my depression was assigned a councilor. We talked for a minute and she recommended that I attend the gay student group since I was "questioning my sexuality (HA!)". Lived mistakenly as a gay boy for a couple years and met a really great guy. He saw the girl I was trying to hide and gave me space to explore.

This is where I can honestly say I was blessed. He was 10 years older than I and had a really good job. Because of his job, I was able to work 2 jobs and put myself through school AND pay for transition. Since I didn't have to worry about bills, rent, food..you know living.

When I started to live authentically I lost my friends and my parents. I haven't spoken to ma and pa for 5 years. As far as they care I'm dead. I still have a REALLY good relationship with my older brothers and their wives. But I don't exist for the rest of the family. The last think my dad said to me was "Son, you WILL be one fucked-up looking woman".

Three years ago I finally saved enough to get some surgery done on my face. I had jaw contouring, trachea shave, eyes widened, and forehead contouring. I also had a chin implant. So long $50,000. I'm STILL paying the shit off and will be for ever. The results were amazing. We agreed that no personal photos would be posted (because guys get creepy over T-girls on the Internet), so no before/after pics here. It was honestly the best money I ever spent, even if I'm now wishing I had some of that back.

So, new face and budding boobs I was confidant. Graduated with my degree and my "husband" and I moved. We had a pretty open relationship because he traveled on his job and was a really horney guy - we had rules, and it was good mostly. Untill...

Last year he came home and wanted to talk. He had gotten a co-worker pregnant. That was totally against the rules (no sleping with people we both know, and always use a condom). Not only did he get her pregnant, he wanted to be a dad. That put me after 7 years to be either a mistress or single.

I moved in with my brother and haven't spoken to the ex in almost a year. I'm finding the dating scene to be pretty pathetic an I'm sure I'll comment on it. Let's just say 10 dates in the last year 3 actually had the balls to meet me, one assumed I was an escort, and two were allright but just didn't click.

So the experience of being a woman continues...now you're the lover / wife that has been thrown under the bus for someone else. Committment doesn't mean anything in these times; I've just stopped dating altogether 'cuz this seems to be the end-all for most relationships. After a few times, the feeling I get is "why bother". So I just rely on my friendships with good people to fill my life - not too bad, actually!

I've had a lot of FFS done (last year) and it really made a BIG difference in my ability to pass seamlessly through the city. I'll second your comment about "a good investment"...it cuts down on the B/S and I enjoy the shift that everyday experience has brought.

I just got to your site through a series of other sites, so I'm gonna go back and read some more. I sent this to my favourites.

It is good to be opinionated!!

Well I'm just out a of my 3rd relationship since my divorce, 3 years ago. My ex want to get back together, and I'm wondering if we should. But at the same time, she still does the stuff that made me file for divorce in the first place.
