For those of you who have read my recent blog entries, you know that I had a close call with my sister. I found out that when she used my computer that she had been to this site and tired to access my info. She has not said anything about it and has returned home to Allabama. I guess I'm in the clear. It has been a very difficult few days for me and thanks to all of your support and a friend I met on here(jengrl) I am doing a lot better, and I mean a lot. Jengrl has also helped me with some issues that I have been dealing with for a while.

I have come to realize that I need more of an outlet for my female side. I have opened a new email account under my female name and I have created a myspace page as well. I've even deleted my old male myspace page. It wasn't doing me any good. I could not be myself on there. I now I've still got a long way to but for me, this is a huge step. So, if you are on myspace look me up. After all, you can never have to many friends.

By the way, my new name is Jessica Marie Morrison

The first step of any journey is always the hardest. Now you've started, hopefully it will get easier.

Don't mean to sound crabby

So many trans folk operate in deep stealth, so it is really imposible to know how many actually do the thing. I am thinking that not many do. I think that most have the common sense to write some stories, fantasize a little and leave it alone.

For me it was a number of factors. I knew I was trans at about age 5 but had experienced the feelins of the life much earlier. My siblings all think that I was very different the day I was born.

No one has the definitive answer to exactly what makes T folk tick, but in the final analysis, I think there were several events that forced the issue. Part of it was dealing with a very driven and dynamic wife who was always the boss. Then there were post 9/11 forces where I worked, a severe on the job injury that left me disabled, the effects of profound prescribed drug over doses, and finally the inadvertent outing.

I say all this to illustrate that sometimes events just stack up in such a way that one can make a decision that they will later regret.

As many here have found, transitioning was probably not a rational decision for me. I only say this because I do not want anyone to think that I recommend it.

However, once someone pops out the other side, I and many others here are supportive.

A word of caution...

though probably too late.

If your sister saw this site and wrote down the URL, there is nothing to stop her from viewing it from home. While it may take her a while to learn to navigate it, find your username, and view your blog, she can definitely do it if she's motivated enough. From there, she'll find your myspace page.

The good part of this is that she'll get an education, and maybe come to somewhat understand what you are going through.
