I remember when someone reminds me that yesterday was the first day of summer.
I guess the Greatful Dead song sums it up, “What a long strange trip it’s been.”
I’ve certainly had a far more interesting life and been places, done things, met people I never would have met because being born with transsexualism assured that I would leave the small towns of Northern New York for places like California.
Curse or blessing, being born with transsexualism has made life existentially interesting.
Maybe I would have done the same things and have found myself in the same movements, many boomers did, but from Greenwich Village to the Haight/Berkeley and Hollywood it sure has been one hell of a ride.
Time post-SRS definitely makes a difference in the process of becoming.
Setting new goals beyond SRS is the most important advice I can offer.
