Cross Post: Trans- Discussion.
Its about the story the individual has. All to often, the trans- individual is placed on marginialized status, that is, barely reguarded as normal human beings according to our society. When an individual discloses (comes out) his or her trans- status, I (like too many people) will get 'kicked out' of mainstream society and must fend for themselves

Most Trans- folk rather fly under radar
when it comes to the transitional process.
in hoping to minimize the violence that
is inherently directed toward them
That's why a good number "hide and transition"
in San Francisco. It seems that's the only
place in the world where it can be done,
reletatively safely. (and then there's thiland
but thnat's differnet story)
This would be my 3rd transitional process.
In 2003, it was my second. and got every-single
negetitive comment and response one can imaginue
(including violence and sexual assult). So, Im
attempting to "quietly" using common-law for changing
names, and "quietly" going to SF for primary care.
and "quietly" going for mental health services.
generally speaking, people on the internet dosn't
have all my personal infomation so I feel somewhat
ok with posting this stuff. but my friends/family
in real life is going through a lot.
And, DWC (dances with cats) , lol, I've read the
last part of the post. I have personally felt the
hosing from both straights and gays alike. When I
was a couple of months sober, I tried to find a
sober living. Most wouldn't even speak to me. A
sober living that was LGBT centered, misplaced me
and treated me in my birth gender and made me totally
feel unconfertable, so I left and went onto the street
to fend for myself :'(
I just hope and pray that these words hit a few people
so they can see what's it is like in real life to go
through a transitional process and see that quite a
few of us do kill ourselves because some cannot take
this kind of pressure.
I've found recently that If I DONT do this, my internal
self will never heal. During my 2003 experience, I wouldnt
even come out and "play" in real life anymore. Depressed,
and crying. and went through a slew of suciade attacks.
Unfortanally now, I know what methods of killing myself
dosn't work. and what methods will. and If I dont Name
change and transition in SF, Im afraid I too, will crack
on the pressure. :(
