Do You or Don't You Want This to be Your Song?

Hello everyone, the first public entry I've had in a while.
Today, has been a big transition day for me. A boy decided it would be funny to try and knock me over this morning, no, I didn't fight back. The usual. Today is also my late grandmother's birthday. Among other things, however, today is also important for a much bigger reason.
Ever since I

Wow. I'm very interested in how this turns out for you. I know I'm just an LJ friend, but I'm concerned for your well being. I hope that you can find additional psychological support in the form of a trained professional (i.e. psychologist) in this matter. Only they can help you understand the transition from male to female and what it means to you personally.

Like you, I faced a similar childhood. I never liked being a girl. I always told people I would grow up to be just like He-Man, the Ninja Turtles or Batman. Never Batgirl. In a Hispanic community, I was doomed from the start. I still get shit from men telling me "oh you're a girl, you don't understand." There was a time where I also questioned if making that transition was right for me and what it would mean. I know everyone is different, and you are not me. I am still a woman, because "FUCK YOU! I DON'T NEED A DICK TO HAVE BALLS!" I'm comfortable with who I am (and most of the men in my family go bald. no way I'd go on testosterone so that could happen =X) and I don't need to conform to a gender stereotype to make anyone happy.

I've known what you've been through. I mean, hey, I've been on your friends list for years at this point. I just want you to make sure it's the right decision for yourself. Get some proper counseling to rule out psychological gender disorders, and be happy. Man or woman, you're still you =)
