Why I want to transition:

To feel comfortable in my own skin. (and build confidence.)
To not get judged or automatically assumed a lesbian.
To break out and not be confined in a small box with females. (e.g. Not having to deal with the 'Oh, I totally understand. I'm a girl too.' or the '*roll eyes* Jeez, men.' look glanced in my direction)
Not have to deal with the pressure of getting married to a man, and/or having kids.
To hold my head high when walking, well, anywhere.
Guys will 'accept' me and not think I'm just some dyke dressing up for kicks.
Not get long stares, or uncertain glances when using the restrooms.
My body will stop doing its 'clean-out' process every month.
When I pass away, I'll be known as a man, not a 'woman'.
Be able to date a wider range of women, not limited to just lesbians.
So my mental health doesn't further deteriorate.


My homework to the new psychiatrist I'm seeing, who is totally awesome.
