[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend whom I have known since Kindergarten. He was a boy growing up and a woman since she was 18 (we are 40s now). When she started to transition, it was not a surprise because there was always something unusual (but we didn't know back in the 70s-80s) about her. She is my friend and I care about her regardless of what sex/gender she is! I feel sorry for people who are transgendered. I know they face hateful people who really ignorant. Think about it... why would anyone chose to be a social pariah by a large swath of the population? It is also something that has been seen in every culture through out time.[/quote]

I am wondering, PP, if Bruce and your friend's experiences have many parallels?  What a huge decision (the final surgeries).  I am confused as to how people decide to make the leap.  Maybe it is hard to imagine unless you are in the middle of it all? So many steps, so much psychological preparation involved.

I know one person who has gone through it, but I kind of assumed there were other issues there.  When she changed to he (in this case); her partner (a woman) took off and left her devastated.  I don't know how she is faring now, but I hope she is doing fine.

Clearly not all cases are the same, I am just wondering about any similarities/differences in their decision making. [/quote]
