After I had surgery, the first time I saw the results, it felt so correct that it was almost as if it had always been that way. I don't regret transition one bit even though my life took a downturn afterward. Being able to live as myself and stop living a lie is worth everything that happened to me. I have been lucky in that my family has been very supportive and understanding. I do hate the fact that I am transsexual, in my opinion it's a very cruel birth defect, but I took the steps I needed to in order to get some degree of peace in how I feel about myself.

Nope- never crossed my mind, although I wish I had done it earlier.
How do my parents feel about it? Well my dad passed away 10 years ago and my mom is slowly coming around. Even before I really started looking like a woman, she would call me Beverly once in a while, try to correct herself, get flustered, try to act mad, and call me by my male name.
How do people treat me? Most people I know either thought I was gay or going to get a sex change- the sex change was the long shot, but the clear winner. Some people despise me and call me names like f@g or freak, and some think I am uber cool for doing this.
I think the people that have the biggest issues with me have repressed issues with their own identity or sexuality. The people that have had no problem with me having a sex change usually have had no real issues with themselves.
It's funny- the people that I tell I am going to get a sex change usually assume I am going to get a female to male sex change. Their eyes bug out and their jaws drop when I tell them that's not the direction I am going- they just assumed that I was a woman.
I absolutely could not, would not EVER want to go back to struggling to live as a male- it is not who I am.

transsexuals dont regret transitioning or we wouldn't be called transsexuals.
my mom loves me my dad hates me for who i am but just as long as my mom loves me I'm happy enough.
almost every TS has to deal with a threatening environment, and yeah its hard when someone stares at you or laughs or calls you names, but most of all you learn to let that go in one ear out the other.

I am not one, but I am going to say that if they truely were transsexual they would not have regretted transitioning.
to be transexual means you believe you were born as the wrong gender. they are trying to match their outside to their inside.

I hope to God they don't. With all the emotional & physical pain they've suffered not to mention being judged by everyone & their brother I hope they're happy with being who they really know they are & I applaud their courage.
