So many of us

There have been many trans people recorded in history, but how many more of us have there been who kept their transness to themselves?

A vast secret tribe who never knew each other, never connected as a community. Who couldn't each develop confidently in the knowledge that they were who they felt they were, and that there was nothing wrong with that?

While I don't want to focus my development too much on inner identity, there does remain work to do, to deeply accept the trans identification. Male by body, male by experience, female by deep instinctive desire. The latter is the most nebulous criterion. I have to believe in myself to go with it. It helps if by going with it I connect with kindred spirits, rather than feel isolation. xx

I am Debbie

I am Debbie.

So, what's new? It's in the 'I'. The whole person is wishing to identify as t-female. Not just a part of me, a sub-personality, a sexual alter-ego.

This is not a claim about my biological composition, it is not a denial of masculine characteristics. It is a choice of identity, based on feeling.

Would I like to be a girl, period?

Yes I would. Yes I would.

Yes I would. xx
