Q: "What are the most difficult, and best, things for you about being transgender?"
A: "Most difficult is that I cannot share the joys and sorrows of such a good part of me with most of the people I love. No mask is heavier than the one than portrays 'normalcy.'
The best is when I make some breakthrough that lets me more fully explore my Femme side. Example: Learning that the price of going out in public en Femme was getting read occasionally, and deciding that it still was worth the cost. This allowed me to relax more, which made me look more 'natural' and 'real', which led to getting read less often! "
