Thank you for your story. I can see so man...Debra,<br /><br />Thank you for your story. I can see so many parallels. I find it interesting that people who have no idea of the torment we feel inside think it so easy to even consider that there might be a viable third option. I guess there are a couple of things at work here, one of these is that we have already been living the third option if you can call it that with vanishing tolerance of it daily. Another is that we have been so used to putting on the facade that we find it fairly easy to hide things, including our misery. But we already know what we are liable to hear if we do let it all hang out, so to say. "You shouldn't feel that way", and "Snap out of it and pull yourself together" are all to often heard in such circumstances.<br />Reading your story is yet another reminder to me that I am not in this alone. That by itself brings a ray of hope for the journey. And yes, there is something about the eyes.<br /><br />SarahSarah Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018597739320720216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439994985716225857.post-27328451384888602882011-09-13T12:50:23.984-07:002011-09-13T12:50:23.984-07:00I am so happy for you Debra now that you've fo...I am so happy for you Debra now that you've found yourself and done something about it. It is an extremely difficult road for those of us who are transgendered, specifically transsexual when it all those we know, our spouses, our families, friends and colleagues do not understand. How can they? They do not have the condition themselves. However, if there is any love and compassion in a person it is at such times when we need that from them. Unfortunately not all are willing to support. The road is difficult enough without the hassle from a society bent on opposing us. Many people who do understand often say things like, 'You must be brave'. How wrong they are, it isn't bravery it is survival! I am glad to see that you have made it down that rocky road. I am so glad your efforts to end it all didn't succeed too because now you can say 'It was worth it'!
