To be brutally honest, generally speaking T folk don't support each other. I am not much into the "support group" scene, because I am just so focused on being a woman, that I, perhaps selfishly, don't want to hear about the various aspects of being T like chicks with dicks, gettin' it in the butt, doing the drag scene, giving head, and all that. It is not that I am judging anyone at all. I just do what a conservative woman would do. If I had a husband who just wanted a regular wife ... you got it, I'd spin his top. :)

I paid a very unacceptable price to become a woman, and now that I am I am doing "woman" to the absolute best of my ability. Some of us do go stealth, or "to ground" and I hear complaints that we have "abandoned our sisters". That is not the case at all. We are just on divergent paths.

Oh sure, I had my phase of engaging in masturbatory fantasies, and fetishisim, but the charm of all that was off fairly quickly. Even at SCC, I found myself wearing my usual long skirt and modest top sans Hijab. I knew that if some of the Muslim employees at the hotel twigged to my being Muslim, it would be really dangerous for me and perhaps some around me. I did venture out one evening in a thigh length dress, but it felt very uncomfortable to me, and I never did it again.

There were others who were running around with way too little on for me, but since it was perhaps their only chance in a year to let go, well, I was happy that they felt comfortable.

I'll support you all I can but within the limits of my own boundaries.
