Testosterone therapy
is often used to help these people. Sometimes males who have felt female,
after having gone on testosterone therapy, begin to feel like a male and
their life often then begins to feel more normal. Have your doctors
considered this with you, Veronica?
Kathy, why didn't you just fly to Illinois, slap me in the face
and say, "Get some testosterone in you and act like a real man."
This is how it felt:
SLAP. What do you think you're doing wearing LBD's
SLAP Real men don't like Hello Kitty.
SLAP What do you think you're doing buying makeup, you're pathetic.
This post made me cry and it made me feel ashamed for crying.
Sure you didn't post this with malice aforethought, but still.
You "know" I have self esteem issues, did you think this would help?
I do not like the way you used "normal" for that implies that I
am abnormal which I consider to be derogatory. Perhaps I am
being overly sensitive b I think with all the personal demons,
self doubt, stress, fear and frustration that I have to put up
with I deserve to get angry/mad/sad when this sort of thing happens.
You also made the assumption that I am intersexed. I am, but
that was something you shouldn't have assumed. I don't know
which syndrome I just have certain symptoms.. My doctor said
when I aksed about it said I could be tested but would it really
make that much of a difference. And he told me that such testing
is expensive. I don't have health insurance. I can't even
afford to see a real "gender specialist".
I've always felt that AF was a "safe zone" where I could "let
down my hair" as it were, and now this.

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's
belief that makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug. If
you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own. Of
course, makeup is only dimestore magic. But it works well
enough, when it's used properly.", the makeup artist, from
the book Sooner or Later, based on the 1978 TV movie of
the same name.
