Undecended testicle,, One testicle was never functioning and finally removed. As a child I thought my feelings were a nasty trick played on me by nature. As a child I always thought I would become a woman when I grew up. Thinking my body would self correct. My father noticed these traits I had and tried beating them out of me to make me a man. But my womanhood was too powerful to be beaten out. I grew up always feeling more female and with few male physical traits, Guys made comments in the school showers that I had a very female body shape. It did not come as any shock to me. I was one of those kids that stole womens clothing one piece at a time. To develop a full collection of female attire and cosmetics to excersize my true self in private. I eventually moved out of the closet dressing and found friends like myself to go out with. I have always dressed to pass as a normal female not a total fetish TV type. I strive to be a fully passable female and blend in. Growing up I always had an urge to hang out with the girls and was invited to a few girl sleepovers parties, The girls were very perceptive of my situation and many times included me in the beauty makeover rituals of which I craved. As an adult life was more complicated but I always maintained my female mindset and love for the woman inside of me who I nurture. I was married and it failed due to my wife not understanding my plight, I have had numerous girlfriends who indulged my desires in the female arts. One was an advanced cosmetics professional and taught me many good skills. I have always looked naturally female enough to pass when a small cosmetic effort is made. I now live alone and enjoy only a few dressed outings per year. It's something I live and think about on a daily basis. When I'm shopping at the mall my mind is always formost on female items first. I get caught looking at womens items by snooping women who are always judging us gender people. But life goes on. NO matter what the DSM says about us gender folks it does not change the fact that many of us are double sexed. I leaning toward my female self.

Honesty brings about the bare face truth. Dishonesty leaves one in a transgender no-person's land. A dead end, an antisocial ghetto. Take care Sue - Sue Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:07:51 +0100
