What Is Transition?
or,
What do you mean, "I can't buy a transition."?

Alright dearies, now we arrive on the doorstep of one of the hardest aspects of all to adequately explain about the remaking of our lives and worlds.
What I call the "Transition that is no transition".
It's different for each person... I mean, the way any one soul perceives this entire process.
To this lady's way of thinking, this is what becoming a Transformer is all about, to arrive at that special place, and find that it is a universe that is completely different of any properties you originally placed on the concepts of "man", "woman", or your "Transition".
In other words, get ready to stretch some boundaries within yourself.
*********
Let's look at this from the example of my situation: a societal-perceived man, having a brain structure more akin to a physical woman's, and the constant knowledge that I really wasn't either of these two things.
Due to variables whilst still in the womb, I am different. Not male, not female, and not in the middle. Hormones and genetics created a different form of human being.
During the first decade of life, I was just myself, as most children are, experiencing the world and learning the basics that make up a generic human being. During puberty, (that was the fun part), a facade was created based not on the person I had spent ten years being, but one that was necessary to face a world of being a guy. My brain didn't really work like a guy's, but that's what everyone expected me to be.
So through the years, I was a "guy". Didn't know how to be one, not from the inside, but heck! one can always "act" a role. The problem was: the guy didn't exist. The life was just a drama, and the weight and pain built up through years of living a lie began to create cracks within my own inner self.
So I finally accept that I am a girl, and will just have to go through the steps to become one. Yep! Another problem shows up. I have no earthly idea about being a female! I mean, not really, and yes, I can learn another role, one that is more comfortable to perform considering my inner self, but it is just another act.
What the heck can I do? Hmmmmm???
How about being my "truth"? How about retiring from the stage of "actors", and just letting the world see and know me for what I am...
I AM a Trans Woman!
Yes, the journey of Transition will bring my body more into line with the structure of my brain. I will be more comfortable going through the rest of my days being accepted as a woman. It is closer to what I am.
But... and this is the true magical part, I get to finish the making of myself... to live my Truth!
All that is about me: the genetics, hormonal anomalies, my soul, my parent's teachings and love, everything that I have done, been, seen... well, those are the ingredients of a recipe for making a Morwen, and it is a unique dish.
It is my reality.
You can make your truth dearies. Never doubt that!!!
That is all that I can tell you on this aspect of being Trans.
Be True to yourselves, and the Lady Bless you!!!

So mote it Be!
