I have know you for so long that I had thought that we would only ever see the shining spirit...<br /><br />So many of us inhabited the assigned male role but played iras gentle and loveable beings not our wished for personalities but ones many came to love. Much of the essence of our assumed roles transfers with us and if you are as fortunate as me your friends hang in with you and often love you more.<br /><br />Wishing you the best of luck.

I think that is part of the human condition. It is certainly an aspect of mythology. Stories may contain the same motifs, but the actual pith of the story will vary from culture to culture, depending upon geography, resources, etc. We all have different chemistry, life experiences - souls. We can learn from each other, but what we do with that learning is up to each of us individually.<br />Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300317401842476897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-83321096547633999982015-03-29T07:45:25.552-07:002015-03-29T07:45:25.552-07:00We are all so very different even though at the co...We are all so very different even though at the core we share so much! <br />My metamorphosis has been taking place over a period of years, with a shedding of that collection of male behaviours I called my façade. While I found very little of that male persona that to be endearing, all of the very best bits are still with me, and my family and friends don't seem to be missing those discarded parts. As a result, now feeling very much a woman all of the time, with the very difficult exception of presentation and certain "physical characteristics". <br />Perhaps you will find that your sweet and goofy person is the real you as well. <br />All the very best.Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-31423347738936527422015-03-29T04:59:32.209-07:002015-03-29T04:59:32.209-07:00This is one of the issues that I too am facing, I ...This is one of the issues that I too am facing, I know some who are eager to get rid of the old and put on the new; but I have been quite fond of the man I was. I think I was quite good at being him and many others became fond of him, however as you say, I am different, so there will be mourning and loss. It is very difficult to deliberately be the cause of this.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577631984995202146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-86700034200833215212015-03-29T02:00:42.733-07:002015-03-29T02:00:42.733-07:00Oh my sweet girl, what a powerful and amazing post...Oh my sweet girl, what a powerful and amazing post. I know we have talked about this on the phone for a lot of years now, and as I've always said, I will continue to love and support you no matter what. I admire your strength and courage and want only the best for you.<br /><br />Many have talked about the heros, or heroines in this case, journey. You are well on your way. Life, and the living of it is all about change and growth. I am not nearly the same woman you implored all those years to get out of the house, that being a shutin wasn't healthy, and you were right. I've grown, I've changed, and while my metamorphosis, for indeed, that is what it was, and is, has not been nearly as challenging as redefining ones gender, it has cost me some friendships, those who could not, or would not walk with me. I miss them, but my life is richer now, more alive. Anyone you might lose, or cannot, or will not see what they have gained in your growth, are the folks who are missing out, the people who cannot or will not grow.<br /><br />Where ever you go, and however you get there, you always have been, and ever shall be, my friend. I agree with that sage advice you gave me six years ago that I needed to get out more. I'm thrilled to see you taking your own sage advice.<br /><br />I love you Gilly!!!Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261974014782795456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110706252335044918.post-43583676285120787172015-03-29T01:12:11.881-07:002015-03-29T01:12:11.881-07:00Dear Gillian i have pondered the same thing.
