Bye now, you should be thinking, well...Duh! But there is a reason to the madness of this post. The reason is:
I started playing with book ideas (finally) yesterday.
One of the happenings out of the past was just owning up to the fact I was?am transgender. The sentence went something like this: I am transgender...there I said it.
Before you judge, please remember all of this could change a number of times as I work my way through another "epic" non fiction work. This time, I am trying to structure the whole process to actually get it published in paper form. Not just in "E-Book" form like my last attempt which has just disappeared, along with the original publisher who shut down.
So, I am trying to make it more basic and informational than my first effort.
I need to focus on the fact this whole process wasn't a choice and took a long decision process. I'm still amazed I can remember the night I came to the conclusion I was trans is still so clear to me, it seems like yesterday.
At that point I backed track a bit an explained what being transgender means to me. More precisely, trans to me means exactly what it says...crossing genders.
I also want to point out early in the book the idea transgender people live in the world often invisible to the public. And do I very good job of it.
All of this now is such a daunting task as I get started and (as I said) much of it will change numerous times as I work my way through it.
Then again, you have to start somewhere,

I have to believe that very few of us can be completely invisible. What we can do is live in such a way that our transgender status is inconsequential. That is, we can define a new normal for ourselves, find a peace with it, and just go on with our lives. Although I'm quite certain that I will never go through a day without some sort of reminder that I am trans, I don't worry anymore about what that might mean to me, and I don't very often care what others might be thinking of me. Whatever being trans really means to me, I restrict those thoughts to the reading and commenting on trans blogs. I do feel that I have gone through quite a lot to get where I am now, and sharing with others - trans or not - those experiences and feelings may be of some help to them, just as it tends to be therapeutic for me. Otherwise, the rest of my life is not centered around my trans status, and I believe that most people sense that about me.
ReplyDeleteI hid myself for most of my life. I didn't start this transition journey with the thought of ending up invisible again. Yeah, I'm a trans woman - SO WHAT?! I'm so much more than just that.
