i had a dream about reading livejournal last night and you had posted, and then i woke up and remembered that you were scheduled to arrive in the States yesterday!
i hope you had a safe trip....welcome back! hope to talk to you soon. e-mail me your number and i'll drop you a line.
I'm not exactly into that I guess, but I'm still rather impressed with your tastes and interests.
I have to pass along a small tidbit, to you, I had a tranny room mate for a brief while whome I knew from my home town.
Wonderful, gifted, hillarious human being....(she was in art school and doing very very well)
she was beyond entertaining to everybody..but she had to work at it though....it was incredibly draining for her to keep the material fresh so all that met her were titilated and entertained. She had to be that way all the time.
She suffered from major body issues and phobias too, seeing herself naked drove her into fits of anger and depression. (refused to bathe just so as not to look at herself....needless to say I moved.)....the rave scene dried up, or the rest of us got jobs and such...she did a few odd jobs, but mostly, squatted and dark sided her way through life.
now,10 years later, without a place in the club world, she got obese, she retreated to her parents home up north and doesn't come outside very much...she never got her pussy and she never got to follow her personal dreams.
It's tainted my transexual view a bit...have you a better one I can change or challenge my perspective w/?
I find it amusing that your surprised by my trans status. I didn't think I kept very hidden on my journal! I guess it's nice to know I can still surpise people....
I'm not exactly into that I guess, but I'm still rather impressed with your tastes and interests.
well that's a little presumptuous, isn't it? as far as assuming I want you to be "into" me? such fags are we. ;)

well, not unless you like to hire me as a consultant to train you on the mysterious ways of trannies. I don't really consider it my duty. However, I'm open to talk about myself and my experience, so if YOU are willing to change or challenge your perspective, then perhaps it will happen. But it's not really my decision. Nor should I have the responsibility of changing your mind.
I'm sorry to hear about your trans friend -- though I would hesitate before thinking that her life choices are based solely on her trans identity. There are probably dozens of reasons why things happened the way they did.
I just want to be upfront and say that my experience as a transguy is just going to be my experience, and won't necessarily stand for the entire trans population. Just like I don't assume you're representative of all gay men, or all bears, or all men. There are tons for transguys around livejournal -- you could probably do some surfing and read about different experiences.
Unfortunately, there aren't many trans bears, at least as far I've found!!
