Hi! Thank you for your post and for reflecting some of the feelings that some of us feel every day. I been fighting an my U for they add a [other] check box at gender. I have received every kind of hate mail, even some friends telling me is just a gender box at a form, no biggie. Problem is that check boxes are part of a bigger conscience problem. Every one has to choose their battle, i choose this one.

I understand you doubting about surgery and hormones, that doesn't make your feeling less valid or real that someones that do. I tell my friends I don't want hormones as I really don't want to live a second teenage stage at my 30s :P. Surgery I really just consider for my breasts as I really really hate them. Dunno if that will make me less discontent with my body, but at least a bit more confortable.

Hope at least knowing you are not alone on this helps you a bit.

Hugs
