    This may be the start/beginning of a break through for me. A continual process. So let me begin...

    What does it mean to be Transgender?

    Transgender people feel that the gender to which they were born, or assigned at birth, does not fit them. Transgender people include people born female who identify as male (female-to-male) and people born male who identify as female (male-to-female).

    I am confidently transgender (male-to-female). I prefer people use female pronouns "she/her/hers" when talking about me.

    There’s nothing wrong with crossdressing or being transgender.

    I am who I am and I am proud of that.

    I love being a girl

    I don't want to get a sex change or anything like that, however.

    Be the person you want to be.

    You are who you are.

    I am Connie.

    Do what Makes You Feel Feminine.

    Surround yourself with girly reminders.

    I may not always get to wear nail polish, but I don't need to, to feel feminine.

    I hope others add to this discussion.

    Thank you.

    Pleased to make your acquaintance, ma'am. I'm Jade, but everyone calls me JJ. I'm very happy for you.
    I will also say it's nice to know I'm not the only non-med trans person here.
