Not to spoil the illusion: But do any other t-girls relate?

Very nice speech. I especially like what you have said about self-acceptance. If you have confidence in your beauty, the world will reflect it. What people really do is echo our beliefs and fears. If someone needs acceptance, she should accept it in her own heart first.

If you want the society to believe in something, ... believe it firmly yourself! The society will follow you.

Oh, my good friend, but there is, indeed, one catch to it all... it's NOT enough merely to believe in yourself or even expressing it - you need to be able to stand up for your beliefs. Agreed, coming as an excuse for one self makes one an easy prey for the born-again moral majority, but they WILL challenge you... even viciously, no matter how strongly you come forward. Therefore, being ready for taking up the fight is imperative... and being somewhat aggressive as well.

I'm just a fuzzy lill ladyboy lover, so the attacks I meet are mere water compared to what trans-women have to face. But I attack back forcefully (verbally, needless to say) and go for the most sensitive parts of my adversary when (seldomly) confronted. I'd NEVER allow such one to even come close to a verbal victory... I make it my absolute and only priority to send her or him home as the undeniable loser of the argument.

I DETEST trans-fobia! Trans-fobics are low, undemocratic, uninformed shits that so badly need stern verbal punishment.

Grrr...

Bravo! Mate, continue your good work!
