What It Means To Be A Transsexual
When the word ‘transsexual‘ is thrown during discussions, people express mixed reactions in their faces, if you’re lucky. Some would express their dissent in violent ways, perhaps starting verbal put-downs and such.
It is not an easy life for shemales, but their rights are slowly but surely making its stand in society, and it should see more progress in the coming years. Here’s one letter that eloquently describes what it means to be a transsexual in society.
When we strip away all our big words, I feel what’s left as an essential ‘core’ of my transsexualism is my feelings. I feel what makes me happy and what makes me unhappy are my ‘ultimate true description of being transsexual‘. Before transitioning, sometimes people would think of me as though I was a man. Sometimes people make a really big deal about how men and women are different. These sorts of things used to make me *really* upset and I’d just end up feeling miserable about who I am. That’s probably not so clear so I’ll write an example of each. But they are only single examples of a type of experience. I’m going to choose examples from the year or so before I transitioned. The examples don’t describe transsexuality to me; the pervasiveness of experiences like these throughout my life are what I feel describes my transsexuality.
