If...Thanks for sharing your early life experience.<br /><br />If you were 15 in 1972, you are a year older than I am. I remember how different (and isolating) being trans was at that time. My mom confronted me about my cross-dressing but was too embarrassed to bring it up with my dad, much less take me to a therapist, so I avoided the "public" aspect of your life experience. I also think they distrusted "shrinks" and weren't active in the church that they would later re-join (God help me if they had been actively Pentecostal at that time!). But the general ignorance at that time is something younger members of the community probably can't grasp. There is plenty of intolerance and transphobia today, but layer almost universal ignorance on top of all that (we had both) and you get a very different landscape than people have to deal with today.

That had to affect you psychologically in the wrong way.<br /><br />I featured this post on T-Central.<br /><br />CalieCaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280127011882954777noreply@blogger.com
