Ask a transsexual anything

[TaraJo]

Can you forgive me for being such a bad girl?

Hmmmmm........ you may have to get a bit of a spanking for this.

For the transexuals if they care to answer:
What recreational drugs do you use? What prescriptions drugs do you use?
.

I don't really use recreational drugs. I mean, I've tried weed twice, didn't really feel much from it so I don't really want to waste money on it anymore. I drink some vodka from time to time, but even that's rare.

As for prescriptions, there's my estrogen and spironolactone and that's pretty much it. When I was a teenager, I had a doctor who had me on 8 or so psych med prescriptions at once and it really messed me up. Because of that, I get really nervous over the idea of being on prescription medications.

@ Violet:

What do you do for a living?

Why are you a deist? Can you talk a little about your spirituality?

Heh. Actually, my being an athest kinda had some amount of conflict with my being trans, myself.

I started identifying as atheist when I was 20, but I only came out as trans when I was 29. When I became an atheist, I had to become more critical and try to stop believing things without good evidence. It kinda caused conflict with the trans feelings I had, though. I would think "What evidence do I have that I'd be better off as a girl?" and couldn't really find anything. I couldn't really get past that until I reached a point where I was suicidal anyway and transitioning was an attempt to give myself something to keep me alive; I never expected it to be this effective.

But I know a lot of transsexuals who identify all over the religious spectrum. When I first came out, the two people who were kinda my mentors were deeply religious and I know another girl in Chicago who is in seminary and she's trans (and her name happens to be Violet as well).
