Q: "What are the most difficult, and best, things for you about being transgender?"

A: "Being transgendered is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but because of the problems it does cause in life, particularly in relationships with friends, family, and life partners. However, you make of it what you will. I chose to make it a positive thing in my life. I refuse to be ashamed of who I am, and from that I have a strong sense of self. I get to see things from a different perspective than many, because I am not bound by the traditional roles of gender and sexuality and, lastly and mostly, I have a huge time having fun! At least I know that the woman I buy gifts for is going to appreciate them! "
