Q: "What are the most difficult, and best, things for you about being transgender?"
A: "Maintaining a 'balance' in my life is probably the most difficult aspect of being transgendered. 'Leah' related activities have a way of taking up a lot of time and energy which can take away from my other obligations if I am not careful.
The best thing about being transgendered is that I have learned to be a great deal more tolerant of other people's differences since I accepted this 'difference' in myself. There's nothing like being on the 'outside looking in' to make a person empathize with other groups and individuals that are not in the mainstream."
