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

That sounds so much like a Feminist. Male and female, who came first? X or Y chromosome, which came first? If I was biased, I could call the X chromosome a mutation of the Y chromosome. See, the two lower strands of the Y chromosome finally separated and became the X chromosome! And for your information, Mizzy B, every foetus starts out neither male, nor female.

Here you go

As my dearest friend and first trans-girlfriend once postulated: "In order to be a "succesful" trans, you MUST not only accept but, indeed, enjoy your masculinity..." That's her story, but it holds some truth. My personal belief is that if a trans-woman unhappy with her exterior could just learn to see herself in another light where her penis is no longer a symbol of masculinity, then a lot would be happier. Unfortunately so many still focus on what's between the legs rather than on what's between the ears... and in ones heart...

Hanky, I praise thy good nature and deep wisdom.

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.

I hope nobody takes me too seriously, but I think the two main results of taking female hormones is
1) talking on the phone
2) enjoying getting presents.
I see the models on this site primarily because they're getting paid to do it. They're getting money to look sexy and fabulous. They're not really selling an illusion as much as getting paid to tittle-ate. Which is why I'm here I confess. I consider the M2Fs that talk on the threads to be more like "one of the guys" with real-life problems. Real People. As far as the models, though, I don't seem them as having any problems that money couldn't slolve.

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!
