We all went through this to some degree, you always have the chance, the right to be Karen, here or anywhere else you might find yourself. 

Your mom has always looked out for you and I sure she always will, your Ex, respect will go a long way for the sake of your kids and yourself.

Relax and just be yourself there is no trick to being the woman that you are meant to be:)

Hi Karen, (BTW I like it!) I am in the same boat with you. I'm a little girl of about 11 or 12 myself even though no one would believe that if they saw me on the street. i may not be able to teach you much but I can be a BFF for you! Wanna make a Pink Swear on it?

Like your past life, your future is one day at a time of learning. You'll do fine. You can learn a lot from the girls here. Just remember your not on this journey alone. You have everyone here to help. Good luck.

Hi Karen,

I understand how scary and confusing life can be. Don't worry as time goes by it does get better. I transitioned in 2007 in the state of Virginia. It was difficult and scary for me too. Time past since then. I went on hormones. Took voice therapy from kathi Perez at Exceptional Voice. learned to tone down my makeup and look so that I passed. Had SRS. Today I am a woman. I pass almost everywhere I go dispite being 6'5" tall. I am engaged and will be married on Dec 1st to a CIS lesbian woman the Rev Jan Matter in Maine. As Me does not yet allow same sex marriage our committment will not be legal. Yet an Episcopal Priest and an earth centered priestess are going to marry us before God and the Goddess.

In time your life will become more comfortable and you will learn to accept yourself. That is the first step in becoming accepted. Learn to accept and love yourself. As you do that inner strength and normalicy will project outward from you and you will find people accept you for female.

it's funny in a way. I used to spend so much time getting ready to go out make up hair just so. Now I don't bother with make up except for special occasions and dress real casually in jeand and cotton blouses, wear my hair down and just let it do it's thing and suprisingly pass all the time because I beleive and project that I am female.

 

BLESSED BE DEAR.
