I knew that I was different when I was five years old and found that I did not like playing with the other boys. But I grew up in a military family, on a military base, in a military town. So of course I have spent my adult life in the Military because it was the expected thing to do, five years as combat arms, 30 years in the airforce. I never considered my self to be gay, I did not fit the life style at all though I have many gay friends. In May 2005 when I came out I changed my hair colour, pierced my ears, and shaved off my handle bar mustache, and proceded to live the rest of my life as a woman. I have been through all the counsiling the physciractic testing got the diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria, was told I was bi-polar and told to get off cafine after which my bipolar disappeared (I'm cafine sensitive). I did tons of reshearch on line and going to support groups to find out where I fit in the community. It turns out that I am a solid type 5 on the Harry Benjamin scale, or a type 4 on the Watson scale I now have a wonderful wardrobe full of lots of cute dresses and of course matching shoes, lots of makeup, and I like to play with barbie dolls. I have come out to my family, friends, coworkers and complete strangers who for the most part have been very understanding. I have been on hormones since last September and am loving the changes, my chest is growing, my skin is smother, I am now at 138 lbs, and have legs to die for (I look better than my X)and a very cute figure. When I get all dolled up people often tell my I look about 35 years old not heading towards 60. Miss Roberta Jayne Hello

Great article. I'm trans (FTM) and I know exactly what you're talking about. People and their preconceived ideas *sigh*. Thanks for writing this - the more good information out there the better.
