Here's wishing you many more!"

Debra Soshoux commented on Sabrina Massiel's blog post My own documentary?"I've been filmed for three of these things, none of which were exclusively about me. Only one was ever produced and distributed. One went nowhere and the third is being edited. Anyway you slice it, the chances are slim anyone will ever see it.…"
Debra Soshoux commented on Danielle Reneta Prescott's blog post Passing Hurts Everyone!"It's unpleasant to consider that for some transwomen the business of passing is so fraught with angst, insecurity and resentment. Sadly, that's life, and life is not fair. It's discriminatory. Men just like…"
Debra Soshoux commented on Danielle Reneta Prescott's blog post Passing Hurts Everyone!"Many if not all of us at some time have run up against that brick "passing" wall. It's a bitter pill. These days I "pass" remarkably well but I didn't always, and I remain my own severest critic. I've surgically…"
Debra Soshoux commented on Danielle Reneta Prescott's blog post Passing Hurts Everyone!"I subscribe to the proposition that having all these surgeries makes it easier to blend and therefore get through life as female without all the baggage. But by your definition, am I setting standards for others? I don't think so, nor have I…"
Debra Soshoux commented on Danica Athena's blog post how soon is too soon ?"When I has FFS I really didn't know what I needed either. I was groping around in the dark. I learned what I did from Andrea James' website, TS Roadmap. And now there are also resources like Lynn Conway.

Debra Soshoux commented on Danica Athena's blog post how soon is too soon ?"Sorry Danica. I or anyone here could point to this-or-that aspect of your face and utter the S-word ("should") but the only one who can honestly answer that question is you.
Check out Annie Richards' "Second Type…"
Debra Soshoux commented on Danica Athena's blog post how soon is too soon ?"The question seems simple and straightforward yet the answers are complex and many off-point, reflecting the myriad views people have about FFS. I'm reading a lot of 'shoulds' - IMO, a major no-no. Unless you suffer from…"

- I'm a fully transitioned woman. I'm so off the reservation I'm ambivalent about how 'ts' I am anymore.
I'm a semi-retired lawyer. My interests are foreign languages, travel, 'intellectual' stuff, men, music, dancing, theatre... stuff like that, in no particular order. I am well-traveled, looking to travel a lot more with an appropriate person. Ideally, he'll be fit, taller and older than I, financially comfortable, generous, who really loves women.
And my favorite color is pink!

A number of girls here have written me very warm welcoming comments. Thank you!
It's a bit overwhelming when one joins a group like this. The welcoming is so wonderful but I find it difficult to respond to each and every person individually so I hope no one will be offended that I just thank you here collectively.
I don't know how active I will be posting on various topics. I've been on 'boards' like this for many years and I'm kind of tuckered-out. I have strong opinions about most everything and to be frank, I'm tired of hearing myself talk! These days I'd rather listen to others. If there's something I can add to help out, I'll chime-in, but for the most part I'll probably be lurking attentively.
I see that I already know some of the girls here. We're good friends, so I know I'm in a good place.

A bit more about me. I'm seven+ years post-op and it's been great. I spent most of my life as a wannabe, never dreaming I could really do it (transition, that is) but it did and I've been very fortunate. I feel part of a wonderfully large extended family. I agree that we are gender gifted.
I'm neither totally stealth nor completely out. I kind of flit between the two. I choose, kind of playing it by ear each time.
Lynn Conway posted my bioessay on her TS Women's Successes (Gallery p. 2.) Quite a few people have stumbled across it and emailed me. It's been great.
My life really changed five years ago when I was part of the first all-ts cast of "Vagina Monologues" in LA. That's when I realized what a ham I am. Last year I was wrote and performed an original monologue for "Trans Sister Tales," also in LA. This year I was interviewed and filmed for a documentary about women in the sex industry (it was just phone sex!)
It came as a total shock that as I got more in touch with my femme self my sexual orientation shifted from women to men. That was a 180 from my early years. It's somewhat true that transition doesn't really start until after surgery - and I've had one or two!

This is my first blog here... what to write about...??
I was just reading the blogs of a lovely young woman here. In one of them was a link to a 'before' pic, so I looked.
I was recently filmed for a documentary about women in the sex industry (I've done phone sex.) When the director asked me for an old male-bodied pic, I wrote to her:
"The pix thing comes up a lot. Everyone wants to see the 'before.' It's an issue with all the tv shows. Oprah is one of our… Read More

- Debra. Thanks for the feed back. I did have a great time. Also there was a second one in June in Atlanta as at least 60 of my class mates live in the area. It was a cocktail party at one of the country clubs thus a dressy affair. I wore a black sheath dress with black heels and silver jewelry. The conversation was more along the lines of retirement, grand kids and what we were doing now rather than how I was dressed. It was also a great evening. The big 50 is in 2011.

Katyvince said… - Hi Debra,
Thanks a lot for your kind French words. I suppose you are francophone. anyway, let me congratulate you about these so marvellous results of your transition. I am beginning my transition and hope to succeed like you.
Big hugs from Paris via Thailand where I am on vacation.
