GG have been blaming PMS for everything from Suicide to Murder so it is quite possible that hormones could be an issue.Quote:

At that time in her life she was feeling very suicidal because she was stuck between the world of being a female in her heart and mind but too many people knew her as "Steve"
She changed jobs and now 15 years later is more passable than most GG's I know. Very few people in her current workplace know her "past" and she is now very happy and well adjusted....thanks to years of therapy and lots of good friends around her. Without that she may not have been around.
I see the TG/TS society right now as being like the gay society of the earlier 80's. Back then, as long as you weren't a screaming queen and didn't run around saying I like poking it into men's bottoms, society kinda let you be who you wanted, as the children of the 80's grew up we learned (I hope) more acceptance and thanks to many activists and strides within t gay community society managed to (in some cases) accept people for being gay. The TG/S community is kinda at the...well if you actually look like a woman then...TV shows are certainly showing more with Miriam (I didn't say I liked her it just said what she is) Maurie Povich, Movies like Girl Interrupted, The Crying Game etc all gradually leading society along the path of acceptance. Given time I hope there will be the same acceptance for TS/TG's as there are for gays..... Imagine all the people....living life at peace...
