Amazing Transgender Transformation

I can't understand it my self, gay, lesbian, tansgender. It is not my job to understand it. It is my job to accept, love, include and promote that any person be allowed to be who they are. Life is hard enough with out having obstacles put in your way.
I did not have to stuggle with the issues many people face but I don't fit the so called mold either. Most people don't they just go on being unhappy, just to make others happy. That is no way to live. No one should be made to feel less than, when they just want to be the people they were born to be. It is that simple, No one should have to explain, try to make others comfortable, just to live their lives.
 

I can understand it full well when my best friend decided to trans from Male to female as part of the psychiatric assessment she had to live as a woman for 12 months before they would even consider her for the operation, mind you I am going back 40 years.
She moved in and It was so interesting and hilarious at times,(Like teaching her how to walk in high heels, and apply makeup without looking like a clown) things I took for granted were a challenge to her, after 12 months she was given female hormones and a boob job and had to wait another year.

After the operation came the hard and painful work as well as the adjustment time mentally, which was a very scary time for her.
She suffered from depression and all her dreams of being accepted went out the window.
Still, she soldiered on and things started to get easier and better.

I will never forget how proud she was at being my bridesmaid, and she looked amazing. A few years later I was a bridesmaid at her wedding.

Now we are just a couple of old ladies, both of us widowed, but we still know how to have a good time.

It was an incredible journey and I am so thankful that she chose me to walk it with her.

It is hard to imagine how she felt her whole life because I didn't experience her challenge. It does show that packaging should not be the factor that defines people. It really is what's inside that matters. I know that I would love my child and her offspring, no matter how they labeled themselves or changed their packaging. I hope her wife felt the same.
 
Somehow, we have our sexual identity imprinted in our brains. Most of the time, it agrees with our *******s. But, at times, it doesn't. Then you have a "female" in a male body, or the other way around. So, there's lifelong tension between what is imprinted and social mores. Some choose to be the sexual identity of the imprinting. At least, that's how I understand it. It's not a new issue. There are references throughout history. And personally, who in the hell cares. Ain't taking no food off my table.
